Fun Without Balloons

Even though there are lots of similarity between the two texts they have their differences. One difference is that

Main Point Three: The actual twisting of the balloon is what makes the shape of the animal.

The two text are similar for various reasons. They are generally similar because they both have someone attempting to deny or rebel against society or government and they both get are unsuccessful and killed in the end. As seen in Harrison Bergeron this conflict occurs when Harrison

Another immediate reason why bias and misinterpretation is rampant throughout the Primary Sources, is the renounment of writers not cross checking quotes and/or evidence obtained by eyewitnesses or political documentation.

Both will tell their readers, they exist to set the record straight or to tell the whole truth. Both prey on reader emotions and fears as well as tell readers what they want them to know and nothing more. In that respect, both are propaganda tools that are not above using bias and misleading information to publicize and promote their political cause or views.

One of the similarities that both passages portray consists of the style of writing, the way the author carries out the messages allow the audience to understand the

The use of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos is presented in the three videos provided through a wide array of examples. In the first video, Drunk History- Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks, the writers use of comedy was used to provide a broad narration of a particular civil rights movement. Logos is a form of persuasion through the “[representation] of arguments and evidence in the matter under discussion” (Campbell 38). In the first video, the use of logos was presented by their wardrobe selection. The use of old time clothing created an antique like structure that would capture the viewers. The second form of logos was presented through the attitude of Claudette Colvin stating “I paid my fare the same as this white lady paid her fare.” This showed Colvin’s logic and reasoning to

V. The Name-calling quote is propaganda because it persuades people to think that everyone else is wrong except Big Brother, and by calling other people names it makes them sound more powerful, this sort of propaganda applies to everyone, it follows the Party’s agenda, and has an emotional appeal.

The balloon's meaning is an alarmingly mysterious. The lack of a fixed reason for the balloon creates a lack of trust, frustration, and hostility for the authorities. Experts conduct secret tests to determine ways of removing or destroying the balloon, but because the narrator has hidden the pumps, there was nothing the authorities could do.

When comprising an argument, the use of rhetorical strategies is essential to planning out how one presents both the chosen argument and the evidence for their position. To understand these strategies and how they are used allows for a deeper understanding of the argument and invokes critical thinking. For instance, in Journalist Joanmarie Kalter’s piece “Exposing Media Myths: TV doesn’t affect you as much as you think”. The author attempts to convince the reader that the notion, that TV is the number one source of information used today and therefore holds immense sway over the general public, is false. And because of how the rhetorical strategies are used in the article. She manages to get the reader to second guess the notion that TV holds

One of the first similarities is naming names. In 1952, Elia Kazan came back to testify to the HAUC to list the names of the members of the Communist party. “The American people need the facts and all the facts about all aspects of Communism in order to deal with it wisely and effectively”(Document A). Even though those people could get in trouble, he did what was right.”The Devil is out and preying on her like a beast upon the flesh of the pure lamb.God will bless you for your help”(Document B). For Abigail and others it would be important for her to

In the modern world, we have few similarities to our ancestors. However, there are a few aspects of our culture that have lasted through the centuries. One of the most prominent is our constant use of symbols and pictures to convey complicated messages. One of the reasons for this is the fact that pictures can touch our emotions in a way that few things can. This interaction with emotion is especially useful in arguments. The picture taken to protest fracking used this knowledge to strengthen their argument that fracking for oil is harmful because of contamination the process leaves behind.

Both the Kashaks and the Jews had very difficult lives. Both of them came to the U.S. because they needed better lives. They are also very similar because they are refugees that were in danger of war and violence. The pair of criticized people were also avoiding danger for their families. Also, they both were in danger from violence and war. They both were displaced from their own homes and had to go to different places including the United States.

To be successful in presenting an argument, the author must produce a valid claim with sound reason and support it all with credible,reliable evidence to allow the reader to make an informed decision about an issue. After eating both articles about the debate over banning violent video games, it's obvious that only one author is successful in presenting her argument.

To fully understand the argument we should first define the parameters of the debate and the
