Studies show that about 69% of highschool studies graduate. Recently Donald Trump, businessman and television personality was elected for president, and his whole slogan was “Make America Great Again” which he put on hats. This slogan has to do with him wanting to increase employment and a big way to do that is by more people getting through school. The message of the political cartoon I chose is that if you are able to get a good enough education you will be able to become successful in life. The cartoon portrays this message through the use of many different rhetorical devices. The first device the cartoonist uses is symbolism. The cartoon uses the hat to symbolize graduation from school. This ties back to the message of if you are able to
In President Bush’s Address to the Nation Speech the day after September 11 (9/11) in 2001, President Bush wants to inform the country of this tragic event and what was going to happen for the country.

Unquestionably, President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump effectively spoke upon their difficult occasion, in separate ideas, which are based on emotional connections, public demands, and uses of rhetorical appeals. One way their speeches was effective was due to their tone, which had built strong connections with their audiences. Obama’s tone was reassuring and heartening, while Trump’s tone was devastating and supportive. In the same manner, the president's offer support, prayers, and unity to the public. In addition to tone and public needs, Obama and Trump use similar devices to further make their speeches effective. A few examples, include parallelism and anaphora. However, Obama and Trump have certain contrasting statements,
In his speech, “Remarks by the President in a National Address to America’s Schoolchildren,” Obama effectively argues his claim, that kids should go to school and try very hard to succeed to schoolchildren around the U.S. He effectively argues his claim because he uses supporting details and stories of students that have undergone tough situations, but still overcame those obstacles to succeed and school. Also, he is trying to tell kids that they should do well in school to get a good job and make a difference. He also uses rhetorical appeals to help with the supporting details. One of supporting evidence that he brought up was that if someone wants to become something such as a doctor, or lawyer you will need a good education to do
In USA Today essay, Yes, “A College Education Is Worth The Costs”, writer Rodney K. Smith begins his essay by painting a very vivid picture of a student in debt, and angry about his lack of job.

In the cartoon by Dan Ziger it shows that the students from Asia are required to go to school year round while american students do not value education as much as the asian culture does. The author used rhetorical devices to come across his message of the cartoon. Exaggeration in the cartoon was used by showing that “all” american students are not prepared for school and do not value school like Asian countries do. Also the american students shirt had words misspelled which also kind of says how american students are in school, There was also an analogy in the cartoon which was comparing an american student to the students in asia and comparing how the american student gets a summer break and the student in asia are required to go to school
they were. Therefore, the irony in the story made a substantial impact on my understanding of
Throughout the year I have not only come to have a further understanding of literature and writing, but I have also gained the skill of analyzing works of literature and my own Essays while considering devices. Later in the year we focused on a short story by Mark Twain called The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County; after reading it, we were challenged to analyze the text through our understanding of literary and rhetorical devices.
Political ads give people an image. Most presidential candidates or politicians make these persuasive ads to implant ideas in our brain. They want to target certain parts and certain groups so they can get their vote. For example, a politician will make an ad that targets the law enforcement community, and will start to convey points to get that community to like him or her more.
Donald John Trump is currently one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for the President of the United States in the 2016 election. He is having no trouble winning numerous state caucuses and is currently the leading candidate with the most delegates among his republican peers. In the media, he is a candidate that seems to have the most air time compared to all of his contenders; his saturated exposure can be considered one of the major contributor to his rising popularity. Trump delivers simple but effective rhetoric about tax cuts for the rich as well as the poor, anti-free trade, tough immigration reform, Nationalism, and other topics that naturally draw in support from the average right-winged conservative individual. His crazy
On the other side, the economy of Texas and Florida lost 33,000 jobs in September 2017, unemployment rates also dropped down to 4.2%. Unemployment situation is increasing seriously in America. Finding a job is so hard, and recruitment company always required their employees who have bachelor or master degree, they also compete each other for getting a job. The State Higher Education Executive Officers Association reported a high school degree earned a median average of $300,000 per year; nevertheless, bachelor’s degrees and advanced degrees earned from $50,000 to $70,000 a year. Therefore, if we don’t have a good education, our dream will be compromised. Furthermore, preparing a good education is the best investment because it helps us live out American Dream that is called a success and finance. America is developed country so education is a necessary factor for growing economies. Otherwise, a good education is known as our honor and outward appearance that give us more confident to contact with many people. Evidently, person isn’t complete perfect if they don’t have education because it is not only a key to success but also a door to open our
"You don 't get the chance to make America great by getting rid of everything that made America great,” Stated by Hillary Clinton during her campaign rally in St. Louis, Missouri to attack candidate Donald Trump from his previous diverse rhetoric. Political Rhetoric has been very popular in today’s society. Politics use this as a platform to criticize other candidates about important points that are essential to the United States and its citizens. Not only does others believe that political rhetoric is out of control but it is a negative form of art. During election time, the media and the internet are critical for candidates because it gives them easy access to the younger audience. Although social media is enormous in today’s society, this is the best way for young voters to make their voices heard. Scott Keeter a research analyst and exit poll analyst for NBS News stated that “Young voters have given the Democratic Party a majority of their votes, and for all three cycles they have been the party’s most supportive age group” (Keeter, 1). According to U.S. Census Bureau over the course of time the rate of younger voters “Dropped from 50.9% percent in 1964 to 38.0 percent in 2012” (U.S. Census Bureau, 2).However, the media continue to evolve with modern society. I believe that rhetoric such as visual political rhetoric helps the youth to get more involved with the political arguments while being educated and entertained at the same time.
On September 11, 2001, the Islamist terrorist group known as al-Qaeda launched a series of terrorist attacks on the United States of America, specifically in the New York City and Washington D.C areas. Nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four planes with the intention of using them as suicide attacks that would crash those planes into designated buildings, or targets. Two of the four passenger jets were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, both of which collapsed entirely within two hours of being hit. The third plane was crashed into the Pentagon, and the west side of the building, which is the
Overview: I created a political cartoon to show the symbolism and irony in Trump’s financial plan in Trump’s wall.
Earlier this year, a video went viral, this video is called “Don’t Stay in School”. This video showed the reality of our education and how many young adults wrestle with their new found responsibility. The video featured a young man rapping lyrics such as: “I wasn't taught how to get a job but I can remember dissecting a frog…” and so on. Through the lyrics don’t apply to all schools, the singer actually makes a valid point on how most abstract education processes don’t have a toll on the average adult.
Paragraph In this cartoon the author emphasizes the beginning of school for american compared to other western countries.the symbolism found in this cartoon is that american students do not take school as serious and that he looks very unprepared walking into the school shown holding a skateboard. As the american student is clearly unhappy due to school starting he makes a comment saying “WHAT ALREADY?!” like summer came to an end quicker then he expected. The student that are sitting down are seen with country names on their shirts such as china,india,vietnam,korea,taiwan and japan it gives the audience a clear understanding of the differences between the two areas of the world and how they respect or disrespect school.
