Letter To Rhetorical Analysis

Within the second section of Herbert’s letter to Seaver, he is informing the book advertiser that there could be possible confusion between both companies due to the use of a similar slogan. For instance in lines 10-11, the Coca-Cola executive states, “There will always be a likelihood of confusion as to the source or sponsorship if the goods.” This is to say that the consumers of these products, whether it be the book or the soda, would probably be confused on what item they want to purchase. This evidence highlights that if both companies keep utilizing the slogan of “it’s the real thing” then it would cause a decrease in the effectiveness. On the other hand, Seaver had a more persuasive argument because of his sarcastic tone especially

I’d like to apologize for causing a fuss today with the divisions. I was, at a minimum, trying to meet the expectations of my work…of course, my goal is to exceed the expectations.

Corporates integrate themselves into the daily lives of their consumers by choosing social normalities solely for their selfish interest. Bartyzel in his article mentions how individual lives become normal without realization that those social changes are made by corporations for their own selfish benefits. She writes, “excessive repetition of Princess products, which encompassed everythingfrom pens to Band-Aids, had a significant effect on her daughter. It even informed how adults interacted with her child, offering ‘princess pancakes,’ pink balloons, and even a ‘princess chair’ at the dentist office” (Bartyzel 468). Pink color and princess dresses became normal thing and all girls are thought of having those similar interests. Another impact

In Bj Gallagher’s article “Donald Trump Is the Epitome of Everything the World Detests -- And Admires -- About America”(Sep.2, 2015), She Implies the positive and negative attributes in Donald Trump, and whether you should vote for him or not. Gallagher first demonstrates by showing the negatives of Donald Trump and his “arrogance” in an article written by Paul Thomas; Gallagher then argued the positive, admirable side of him by comparing his life to one we would all like to live, and to conclude she suggests that Trump is a “fresh breath of air” for millions of Americans by demonstrate that he is unique compared to past presidential leaders. Her purpose is to surpass his brash ego in order to to show he is worth putting your trust in.

In her article “Tattoos are no longer permanent but removal can be a long and costly business,” Victoria Lambert (2015) explains that tattoos can be removed with laser, an injectable liquid and surgery. However, the process for each option is not only time consuming, expensive, painful, but can also have severe consequences. Lambert points out that most people, a while after they have been tattooed, figure out the useless of their body art, and decide to pay any price to get them removed. He affirms that the laser option, in addition, to being expensive, extensive and painful, can also cause skin disorders with the uncertainty of complete removal. Lambert also claims that another possibility, which is the liquid injectable, is not efficient

To begin, the title that the author chose is very broad; therefore, it does not include the author’s approach to the essay topic. When creating a title, the author should consider their entire argument and include it to engage the reader. Next, the introductory paragraph is poorly structured because it does not contain a specific thesis statement. The author mentions the subtopics involving the relevance of Shakespeare to the modern world and Shakespeare’s outdated content towards the end of the introduction; however, there is no clearly stated thesis within the paragraph. The last sentence, which is commonly where the thesis statement is located, is in the form of a question rather than an opinion, which makes the structure of the thesis incorrect.

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.

Children need guidance to become successful in life. One exceptional man wrote about the wrong type of parenting that causes children to be unproductive. In this article, he talks about how these styles can ruin a child’s life, because they are not being taught to be survive everyday life. Throughout this piece, the audience begins to understand his argument, because he uses many examples and rhetorical questions to persuade the readers. During the reading, he also brings up that severe parents are overprotective, since they think they are helping their children become wise, but they are actually afraid of teaching them about the necessities of the world. Furthermore, he supports his idea by saying things such as the wrong type of parenting

Many things in our world go unnoticed and the people do not know the reason it started or who started them. 99 percent invisible is a small radio show, that raises attention to the things that go unnoticed in the world that shape it. Aids awareness is one of them when an art project started by a group called visual aids that created red ribbons to raise awareness for this issue. 99 percent invisible brings light to the people behind the start of a powerful movement that has affected the world. This podcast is highly effective and well done, it gives all the information needed in a very audience-friendly manner.

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.

Starting a conversation on literature, I can see where I struggle to look deeper into a source for its rhetorical significance. An example of this is in my Immigration and belonging essay as I state, “Reyes’s narrative argues for understanding from the reader with his genre.” (PAGE). While this line sounds significant, I find the preceding sentence struggling to support this claim as there are no quotations or paraphrases that highlight how this sentence is seen emotionally in the article. Following that idea, rhetoric can be easily found by looking at the ethos, logos, and pathos. However, I find that when using this method for finding rhetorical information, my analysis of the source is surface level (as seen in the above example).

I listened to an older recording of a radio airing show. Rebecca, the host of the radio broadcasting show, arranged for Dr. Stephen Covey to share his theories and philosophies on a subject valued to him and many others. He communicated on the topic of having a family mission statement. He has published several books that also encourage the equivalent manner and viewpoint as his broadcast, one specifically is the book, Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families. Dr. Covey offers advice for helping to become better parents and raise more loving and closer families. He aims to convince his listeners that effective families need a family mission statement. He suggests how a family mission statement leads families to not

College is one of the biggest financial burdens in today’s society for many. Since the recession, people often ponder what the best financial options for students looking to go to college are and what path they should take to get them there. Mike Rose, faculty member at the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Karen Lawrence, the president of Sarah Lawrence College, have both written articles about this epidemic stating the advantages and some possible downsides to pursuing a higher education. During these articles, the two writers are trying to persuade their intended audience that college is an option that could be beneficial for them to take advantage of. They both have different

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

In response to Geoffrey Shepherd's article “It’s clear the US should not have bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki”. Shepard tries to pull us into his claim by using pathos, logos, and ethos. He uses estimates of 500,000 Japanese soldiers died from the atomic bomb. Then Geoffrey begins to state that we had an alternative spot to drop the bombs, the alternate spot we could’ve dropped the bomb would have been Tokyo Bay. It was idle and estimated that less lives would’ve been taken and would showed more of a threat to the Japanese leaders.
