How do you prepare for change? People always tell me; How can you move so often? I don't know how you do it. I wouldn't be able too. It must be hard on the kids. How do they adjust? Aren't you scared? What about school? ... Its hard but not impossible! First of all You need to accept change. You need to embrace it. You need to develop the ability to adapt to change. You wanna know something? I LOVE MOVING! Yes, it makes me sad and I get highly overwhelmed. I go through all the possible emotions. I'm like a Superhero that has the power to suck in everyone's emotions but on steroids. Lets not add to that the fact that I am a woman, What does that make it? A Superhero that sucks emotions as its power on steroids multiplied by ten. NO! x 1000!
Why We Fight, a 2005 documentary that was directed by Eugene Jarecki synthesizes multiple sources and uses various rhetorical techniques to raise questions about America’s motivations for combat historically and in the present day. In George Orwell’s Shooting an Elephant, a british police officer experiences effects of Imperialism even as the oppressor in Burma during the time of British Imperialism. Although these two different work involves different situation, there is still an idea of imperialism that is running through. United States is acting as an imperialist country, trying to spread its policy throughout the world while Burma was going through British Imperialism. In the documentary, Why We Fight, Jarecki argues that the reason we
Advertisements are everywhere. From billboards, to magazines, to newspapers, flyers and TV commercials, chances are that you won’t go a day without observing some sort of ad. In most cases, companies use these ads as persuasive tools, deploying rhetorical appeals—logos, pathos, and ethos—to move their audiences to think or act in a certain way. The two magazine ads featured here, both endorsing Pedigree products, serve as excellent examples of how these modes of persuasion are strategically used.
When you see a solider in his or her uniform, you are proud that they are serving this country to protect our freedom, securing our country, and defending democracy worldwide. The solider can come from different branches of the Military. The one you might be familiar with is the U.S. Army. These soldiers are well respected and prepared to serve our country whenever and wherever needed, combat-ready at all times, and trained to counter any threat, anywhere. In 2007, the United States Army department published a recruitment ad for U.S.
The revolutionary world has depended on education since the beginning of time. Education, as a key to all the developmental and advancing changes in the world, has as well taken a different dimension. Sir K. Robinson gave the speech in Youtube video updated on October 14th, 2010 in which RSAnimate video “Changing Paradigm”. Throughout his speech, he showed the world that to remain stable and sustainable, people must get the right education that will allow them to make the right decisions concerning the primary elements in the global settings.

So far in my life I have moved eight times and been to twelve different schools. I’m not talking about just moving houses. I’m talking about eight times, packing all of my things and moving to a whole different state. In all this I have learned the most important quality that anyone needs to get through all of the hardships and changes in moving. That quality is courage.
In May of 1998, Kipland Kinkel brought a gun to his school. Over the course of two days this escalated from: being sent home, to murdering his father and mother, to murdering 2 students and wounding 26, earning a lifetime sentence of 111 years and 8 months in prison. In the court case being examined, the presiding judge addresses the original case, defendants ground for appeal, and the justification for the State’s decision to deny the appeal. Judge Haselton effectively uses ethos, logos, and pathos to support the Higher Court’s decision to deny the appeal because the original sentence was constitutional and just.
Authors who are not from the scientific community appear to be more assertive about their claims as compared to experts of the field. In the following rhetorical analysis, I explore the differences in original research articles tailored toward experts and pop science articles which target a general audience. The pop science article is, “Immune System, Unleashed by Cancer Therapies, Can Attack Organs”, written by Matt Richtel of the New York Times. I compare this with the original research article, “Checkpoint blockade cancer immunotherapy targets tumour-specific mutant antigens” by Gubin et al., published in Nature journal. Both articles talk about the cutting-edge research in the field of cancer immunotherapy. Cancer immunotherapy gets rid of tumors by using the body’s immune system to target cancer cells. Gubin et al.’s article uses genomics and bioinformatics to compare therapeutic synthetic long-peptide vaccines with the working of immunotherapy drugs. Richtel’s article discusses the
The art of quoting and summarizing an argument is one of the main skills to acquire when it comes to writing a successful piece of work. In the book, They Say I Say the art of inserting quotations is mentioned to be one of the highest mistakes made by writers. Many insert a quote that has no frame of introduction or background information which is considered a “hit and run quote.” Readers need to be able to comprehend not only the writings, but the background information and quotes from another author writing in order to have the whole work cohesive. Dire necessity for the writer is to go back to the initial text and truly understand the background from which they are quoting to make sure their audience understands the quote and why
The two examples above are to show you how depending on the situation, there might be a change in rhetorical context. The rhetorical context depends on the situation surrounding the writing, which includes on who your audience is the purpose, and the genre. The audience is the one reading your message in the first example, the one reading it is a friend, which means that the writing may or may not be informal. Then the second example, the audience is your professor, which means you must use formal writing to show respect to him or her. Then the purpose is the reason why you’re writing to the person. The text message was to inform your friend that you can’t attend a party on Friday while the email to your professor is that you can’t attend to
In 2017 during Trump’s first few months as president; there was a KKK/White Supremacy rally in Charlottesville. In the rally the Grand Dragon David Duke made an appearance along with other men; talking about “Taking their country back.”. Not only that but there are gender racisms among the U.S as well and no one is doing anything about it. This is a brief summary of Sophia A. Nelson’s article:”Charlottesville Is the Ugly Wake-UP Call America Needed”. As she referred to everyone ignoring the problems that are going on, and the people that are that just allowing it. Sophia took an angry/disappointed tone in her speech; a possible bias influencing this would be that she is also African American. Sophia uses a strong
Donald Trump and Franklin Delano Roosevelt both use anaphora, imagery, and antithesis to provide a better understanding and clarity for the audience. Donald Trump uses anaphora to connect with the audience. He frequently says, “We will…” which implies that he will not abandon the citizens while he is the president of the United States. Trump uses anaphora in this example to make the audience feel like he is on the same level as the common person rather than superior to them. Trump uses anaphora to comfort the audience. Franklin Roosevelt also uses anaphora to connect with and assure his audience that he will do what is best for the country. He says, “It can be helped by…” several times toward the end of his speech. He repeatedly says
I can tell you what to analyze the purpose of the first paragraph as it relates to the rest of the passage. The spooky creatures come from the cracks under the ocean. It is really dangerous. If you are a scientists then I get it. In the text it stated that, “ What scientists have learned is that there are large cracks, or vents on the ocean floor away from the sunlight.” I know this because scientists are smart and they know everything. We all can learn about new things in the world.
Norman Melchert’s text Who’s To Say? conveys his philosophies through the fictional dialogue of six thinkers, all of who actively partake in a discussion concerning the ‘theory of truth’. Through this conversation, Melchert delves into the notion that language is the very thing that divides the world and prevents one from achieving a neutral observation. He correctly asserts through the character of Peter that the way in which an event is observed is affected by how it is experienced, as well as the differences in observations amongst humankind. He concludes that our perspectives and testimonies are adulterated by our experiences.
