"The president's overall health remains excellent and is improved from his last formal assessment," concludes the report from White House physician Dr. Ronnie L. Jackson, released by the White House Tuesday. "His adherence to a healthy diet and a consistent exercise program has resulted in an improved lean body mass and lower cholesterol level.” 一 Gregory Korte , USA TODAY

One assignment I’ve done well on this year is the letter we wrote to Anne Northrup. In the letter we had to use primarily: ethos, pathos, and logos to convince Mrs.Northrup to do something we would like her to do. On this particular assignment, my improvement on using these rhetorical devices was evident. I chose to use this assignment as backing evidence for my improvement on the use of ethos, pathos, and logos, because this it contains the best evidence for me to do so. All the rhetorical devices I used were highly effective such as these: “Aren’t college owners rich enough already?” and “Would free college for all U.S. citizens hurt owners even in the slightest way?”.

I have chosen to focus on the columnist Steve Chapman who writes for the Chicago Tribune under the opinion column on the Chicago Tribune website. He most commonly writes editorials showing both sides, but puts an emphasis on his opinion almost to persuade the reader towards his side. I believe he would be a good person to analyze because he keeps current with the pieces he writes, and they are all focused on controversial topics that arise such as the recent Las Vegas shooting, or the legalization of marijuana in the state of Illinois. Additionally, his topics can also broaden out to writing about international affairs in an attempt to keep his readers informed on the world around them. He has been a part of the editorial board for the Chicago

Individual rhetorical analysis of the selected readings by Olaudah Equiano, Harriet Jacobs, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Beecher Stowe are necessary to arrive at a collective analysis of the most effective strategies.

In the CNN article titled Sacramento “Police Shot Man Holding Cellphone in his Grandmother's Yard”, the authors target was an audience from a broad spectrum of political ideologies to inform them about the current police shooting of Stephon Clark. The rhetoric pathos was effectively utilized with various media and even the title to evoke certain emotions from the readers. Logos along with ethos supported information and gave the article added credibility like body camera, audio, and direct quotes from the officers on scene. However, the authors’ view on the issue was not clearly stated rather highlights the different perspectives.

To add on, O’Brien lacks the knowledge and skill to help others, making him egocentric. It is sensible to state this due to his inability to be selfless and rid his mind of vain thoughts. O’Brien strongly believes that he “was too good for [the] war, he was too smart, too compassionate, too everything” (41). This hyperbole, an exaggeration, exhibits that O’Brien only thinks of himself and does not want to go to war because it does not benefit his future at all. He is unable to understand the nation’s need for his presence in Vietnam due to his uncontrollable anger which blinds him from an opportunity to help those who are hurting and are in need of help from people such as him. Additionally, his anger also resonates from his envious thoughts, which is caused by what he suggests is an unjust government.

Journalists are infamous for their motivation to produce hard hitting editorials, twisting the truth for their own selfish benefit. Steve Chapman strays away from this stereotype by ensuring integrity in every article. Continuously, Chapman strives to present the public with his analytical opinions. Douglas Adams describes the drive of Steve Chapman; “To give real service, you must add something which cannot be bought of measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity”. Steven Chapman, who writes weekly op-eds for the Chicago Tribune, delivers insight into national headlines using suggestive rhetoric appeals to address the reader’s fears of uncertainty followed by accredited reasoning, a condescending tone targeted at the written subject, calling the reader for reformation within society, and dashes to separate general statements from definitive fact, shifting from a mission-based point of view to thought-provoking opinionated writing in order to spark motivation within his readers using his opinions so that they can take action to better their communities in hopes of improving future national development.

In an age where constant new discoveries in the field of medicine are inevitable, society looks to medical advances for an opportunity to cure every ailment life produces. This essay will analyze the rhetoric argument entitled “Taking Pills for Happiness Reinforces the Idea That Being Sad is Not Human” composed for the Guardian Newspaper by Giles Fraser. Written in August of the year 2013 Fraser hopes to persuade the readers of the Guardian to agree with his analysis on sadness. The purpose of Frasers oratory is to persuade his audience that unhappiness is the body’s way of reacting to discomforts in life and rather than fight unhappiness, one should learn to accept that it is apart of life. Overall, Giles Fraser is effective when using pathos and logos to bolster the strength this piece and this adds to the

A library can be a repository of knowledge or a squirrel’s worst nightmare. With this in mind an angle of vision is being created. An angle of vision is not simply written, it is carefully and deliberately constructed through the proper use of five rhetorical strategies. Word Choice, Sentence Structure, Overt Statements, Figurative Language, and Selection and Omission of Details are the strategies used by writers to create the angle of vision. To understand these strategies I have written two paragraphs that are similar in description yet carry vastly different angles of vision.

“We can leave the mountain anytime we want but those with ALS are prisoners in their own body”-Alex Williams. People with ALS start losing their ability to move as the disease goes through their body. In the Book Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom Morrie Schwartz has ALS and he tries to give away all of his wisdom before he dies. Morrie teaches people to live life through showing love to family, not hiding or being scared of aging and accepting that Death is natural.

LGBT representation is a touchy subject, and Amy is one of the few brave enough to explore the topic. However, she left more than a few holes in her argument, biting off more than she could chew. Her position on the misrepresentation of bisexuals in TV was ineffective at persuading her audience, because of her lack of concrete evidence, misdirection of audiences, and contradictory statements.

The rhetorical analysis I composed was written on an article called,“The confessions of a liberal gun owner,”by Justin Cronin. This type of writing opened me up to a new style of composing that I am not familiar with. I really enjoyed being able to show my view of whether I thought that this article was effective. Critisizing the writer for doing certain things was very interesting and made me feel more independent and powerful. I did not like that I could not use my personal opinion but could use what I thought as the audience of the paper. This confused me at first but I eventually understood the reasoning behind it. Telling my personal opinon would dismay readers and disregard my credibility. By stating facts it made my paper sound more

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a government website that provides information about various diseases, disabilities, disorders, etc.. The CDC provides multiple webpages about Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) that list and provide information about causes, treatments, variations, and signs/symptoms of the disorder. On their informative pages, they use rhetorical devices to better portray their message. The CDC effectively uses the three rhetorical devices, pathos, ethos, and logos, to reach their goal of informing their target audience and providing a clear perspective on Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Before the 20th Century, literature was pretty straightforward; the narrators were reliable, the timelines were linear, and the perspective was clear, but then somebody got the idea to mix it up. This is how we got books such as The Great Gatsby and one of our class texts, Orlando. For some, this was a startling and uncomfortable transition from what used to be considered the, “normal” format which was very up front in terms of structure and voice. Others found it to be more exciting and, while it was still weird and unsettling for those people, it forced people to think more about what the books were trying to communicate, instead of just being handed the message; they had to work for it. This has become one of the leading reasons that societies are encouraged to read; if you read a book that forces you to think, your mind becomes stronger and this promotes an increase in intelligence and creativity.
