Jack has demonstrated the ability to understand and apply all the concepts of rhythmic and melodic notation that have been presented this year. When focused, he plays with energy and enthusiasm. Lately, however, his behavior has been problematic. Jack has always enjoyed injecting a capricious comment here and there during our class meetings. Whereas I found these to be fine, enjoyable actually, they have recently taken on a different tone and are too frequent and disruptive. It's important for Jack to stay productive and cooperative while keeping his sense of humor under control.
In “Bring Back Flogging”, Jeff Jacoby addresses the problems within America 's criminal justice system. He gives many reasons why imprisonment simply does not work, and suggests that corporal punishment should be used as an alternative. Published in the Boston Globe, a newspaper well known for being liberal, Jacoby provides a conservative view and directs his argument towards those who strongly support imprisonment and view corporal punishment to be highly barbaric and inhumane. However, in order to shed light on our current situation, Jacoby discusses the dangers that we face though our criminal justice system a nd shows concern that imprisonment is doing more harm than good. In effect, Jacoby looks to the past for solutions, and
Do traffic signals make a difference when drivers are conducting their vehicles? In U.K. the roads have less signs and are smaller roads than in the United States. The United States has great amounts of traffic signals and symbols all over the road to make the driver more aware. In the U.K. accidents do occur but not that often has in the United States. In the Unites States every second there is huge amounts of accidents going on over the nation. John Staddon in his magazine article “Distracting Miss Daisy” tries to persuade that traffic control is making traffic more dangerous because we do not pay attention to the road, but to the signals.
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.
Starting this year, I thought English 102 was just going to be another general education requirement I needed to have in order to graduate. English has never been my favorite subject, so I guess it is safe to say that I was not super excited about this class. However, this class turned out to be different then I thought. It turned out to be more useful then I originally thought. English 102 was both helpful and fairly simple because of what what I learned, the effort I put in and how prepared I was.
Response: Andrew Carnegie, George Eastman, and J.P. Morgan are captains of industry because they are philanthropists. Eastman is a philanthropists because he donated over 30 million to the college ¨U of R¨ and supported dental clinics for people who could not afford it. He did this because he is a good person and a leader. Morgan is a philanthropist because he donated 60 million dollars federal government. He did this because he is a good person and a leader. Carnegie donated more than 350 mill and build over 2,500 libraries. He is philanthropist and a strong
A rhetorical analysis assignment is to see how an author tries to present his work to a certain group of people. There is present certain meaning in all the texts and it is up to the author to communicate it in the required way. The purpose of this assignment was to review the article and see how the author made use of different strategies. It appears that a major aim that the author had was trying to convince the readers about revenue based financing. The author made use of several strategies as they will be discussed further down. There are many examples of rhetorical writing strategies that an author can use to make the writing all the more powerful. There is a very crucial reason why writers actually go for this sort of writing. The simplest answer would be to have their writing be more powerful and effective on the reader. The document that will be analyzed today is an n article written by Verne Kopytoff. The title of writing basically talks about how revenue-based financing is a good solution for business. The title itself sheds positive light on the article and states that the better the business does, the faster you will pay. The author of the article is Verne Kopytoff who is a technology journalist. He is alum of the San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Times. The article was written on February 05 2013.
The article I decided to analyze was written by PhD candidate Jo Morgan, titled “US hate crime legislation: a legal model to avoid in Australia.” It is plainly stated in the abstract section of this paper, that the Author, examines the the barriers to achieving hate crime victim status. This is a much more complex issue than the typical white on black hate crime. The intent of Jo is to showcase that there are groups of people who are the direct victims of hate crime, but that the American judicial system (that he feels Australia is likely to emulate) doesn't adequately protect people. Throughout his paper, especially in the first half,
The president, Barack Obama gave a speech at Howard University commencement ceremony. Speaking to the graduating class about the need to keep pushing for change he gave the students at the historically black university advise on how to shape your own future and to always strike for better. The president argues that the U.S and the world is becoming a better place than when he was a collage student. However, there is still work to be done when it comes to employment, achievements, and justice for African Americans. The president also mentions to be confident in your heritage and to aim for greatness. Also that empathy should be extended to all people who are struggling to achieve success or a goal. Furthermore, the president advised the grad
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
A rhetorical aim that illustrates that issues on gun control would be to analyze and interpret. Suggested from the two articles; “Why the U.S. is No. 1 – in mass shootings”, and Not just guns: New study looks at why the U.S. is No. 1 in mass shootings, most mass shootings are a result of the deteriorating American Dream. The rhetorical aim, analyze and interpret”, offer readers a different approach on a specific subject matter. For instance, prior to reading the two texts on America’s advancing gun control issues, it was believed that mental illness would be the root cause for mass shootings. However, these two articles have offered different insight on why America is the leading country of mass shootings. Fame, can persuade Americans into
Construed by the use of statistics and laws through an appeal to motherhood, Kelley strives to connect with the audience’s mind using reverse psychology to provoke the ambiance of guilt. As she refrains “while you sleep” creates the beating of drums, Kelley implores the audience to realize we are part of the problem. We wear cotton shirts and wool pants every day reminding us that our outfits are the outcome of labor. Although lacking sufficient advice, Kelley makes the personal connection with the audience in order to identify the collective issue of child labor.
I spoke with Mr. Anthony Jaspal and he stated that he received an permit for flood damage. However, he did not flood. He stated that some home in his neighborhood flooded. Nevertheless, his home did not receive any water. His address is 14427 Light Falls Court, 77429. He wants to know if he has to do anything any order to remove the flooding of his home off of any records that we may have. His voicemail is
In William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies”, Jack Merridew possesses multiple qualities that would cause him to be an exemplary leader; however, there are negative traits about Jack that demotes his leadership. Jack Merridew is considerably stubborn when it comes to his ideas, and he contains an impulsive attitude in the decisionmaking, or lack thereof, process. Jack emits violence similar to that of a wild animal, along with looking down upon at anybody who has even the slightest handicap, including the “littluns”. Jack tells a fair amount of lies in the story, contributing to his extreme thirst of power. Merridew is a hideous, evil young man who is stranded on an island with a multitude of other British boys, including Ralph, Piggy, and Simon.
In Marjane Satrapi's word-specific panel about refugees fleeing north on page 89, she indicates the perilous situation of the war through taxis escaping flaming iconography. The bombing of border towns in the Iran-Iraq war forces residents to abandon their homes and belongings in the hope of finding refuge in the northern cities. The foreboding, chaotic scene underscores a period of turmoil in Iranian history. The words of the panel state, “After Abadan, every border town was targeted by bombers. Most of the people living in those areas had to flee northward, far away from the Iraqi missiles.” Satrapi sets the backdrop of warfare with intense, slightly militaristic words such as “targeted,” “flee,” and “far away”. This being a word-specific panel, the graphic
