Rhetoric And Composition And Research

This year I got a chance to be on a team of four undergraduate students to represent UBC at Intercollegiate Animal Welfare Competition at Ohio State University. The competition is in November and we are raising funds to help us get there.

The story what I saw from where I stood by Marisa Silver story expressed not only

The author uses diction to shape the tone of the passage. That tone is critical of dog owners, but at the same time showingdisplays a fondness of dogs. You can see this tone throughout the passage in the author’s diction

In the past, I have done many research papers for science, history, and English classes. For my AP English classes, I learned how to identify rhetoric and analyze how it affects a piece of writing as a whole. In chemistry and biology classes, I researched a certain chemical reaction and wrote a paper on why that happens. In AP US History class I spent hours on learning how to write a grey area thesis and finding evidence to support both sides of an argument. A strength I have as a writer is that I have experience in doing research in most fields of study. I took various AP classes in high school and have written papers in most of them. A weakness that I have as a writer is the inability to use concise and precise diction. I feel as though I

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.

Plato once said, “Rhetoric is the art of ruling the minds of men.” Through all the time that has passed since those words were first said, rhetoric has been used millions of times in millions of different ways, from a heavily thought out presidential speech to a kid trying to convince his parents to let him eat another cookie from the cookie jar. It is also used heavily in advertising campaigns. The purpose is to convince the audience that they are the best presidential candidate, that they deserve that extra cookie, or that they are providing a great product that you don’t just want to buy, but need to buy. Rhetoric rules the minds of men, and women, for that matter. Multiple rhetorical devices and persuasive techniques, such as color choice,

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

The 2015 Texas legislature passed a bill to allow concealed handgun permit holders to begin carrying their handguns openly. You do not have to conceal your gun like you did in the past. The bill was signed into law on June 13, 2015, and was effect as of January 1, 2016. Handguns should be carried in a hip or shoulder holster when out in the open now. Businesses can in fact say no to guns on their sites, areas that were considered gun-free zones before this bill took effect remain gun-free zones today. If businesses decide to ban guns they have to post signs to let their customers know. Some of the businesses in Texas (and other states) that are banning open-carry include Whataburger, H-E-B, Whole Foods, Randall’s Food Markets, Torchy’s Tacos, Jimmy Changas and Gringo’s Mexican Kitchen.

I was very astonished, when I went to the office hour the first time and asked my professor to give me some advice about my essay. At that time, I had no idea how to specify my topic and analyze my thesis, but my professor gave me lots of specific and arguable ideas that I had never thought of. Then, I started to realize that the ability I am supposed to learn from Writing 39B class is the way to do rhetorical analysis. During these ten weeks classes of Writing 39B, I make improvements on skills of doing rhetorical analysis as well as conveying my message to the reader effectively. To be more specific, I have learned how to analyze an essay from the

In my Rhetoric and Genre essay on, Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn I honestly tried my best to explain how the use of genre was ideal to explain Dunn’s rhetoric in the book. I started of by bringing out what I believe were the main points that Dunn wanted to get to his readers. This points being the importance of critical thinking, communication and language and what would happen if we lacked on each of them. When it came to writing on why I believed these points were best told in an epistolary genre was without a doubt a challenge for me. Not because I did not believe that this points were best brought up through this genre but because it was became very difficult for me to explain myself.

In his article “If Technology Is Making Us Stupid, It’s Not Technology’s Fault,” David Theo Goldberg effectively informs the reader about the effects that computers in the home and school environment could have on the future education of the coming generations. Goldberg achieves this by executing defined organization and adding unique comparisons about the potentially crippling effects technology can have on a society when put into the wrong hands.

Imagine discovering the cure for cancer, and then tossing the revolutionary discovery into a blaze of fire. This obliteration has happened to rhetoric, a tool of language that donates life to argument and creates a thriving system of communication for the world. Rhetoric used to be an important aspect of education that could assist students with the teachings of argument and human interaction. Today, rhetoric has become a topic of minimal discussion among ideas that have long since been outdated, and considered archaic to the educational system. In reality, rhetoric exemplifies the human genius and must be taught in schools to further the evolution of human expression.

Transferring to California State University, Sacramento was the most optimal decision that I have made recently this year and so far, it has been an enjoyable yet compelling one because of the helpful environment around me. Compared to the other two colleges I attended in the past in Stockton, California, I believe Sacramento State University has better resources and opportunities to grow as a student. Some of the resources I have utilized here are the Writing Center and PARC, but I plan to branch out and explore many others I have heard about. Although my major is Mechanical Engineering, I still have other classes that I am required to take in order graduate in Spring of 2020, such as English 109W for my undergraduate GWAR. Before entering English 109W, my mind was set on just completing the course and getting a good enough grade to move on to my Writing Intensive course, the last English class I would take in college. I thought that my writing skills were above

Paul makes a response to a letter from the Corinthians that pertained to various critical concerns. Specifically, the Corinthians had a concern about human sexuality (1 Corinthians 1:1-40), (Harris, 2014, p.343). Interestingly, Paul responded by informing the people that he prefers a single life without any kind of sexual connection. He also conveys that he wishes that all men, unmarried women, and single women would choose the single life as he has chosen (1 Corinthians 1:7-8), due to marriage can be agonizing, demanding, and distracting. Paul believed that the painful experience of marriage was attributed to the obligations the husband and wife have for one another and the concerns each of them has for the world, that takes away time from

In issue three of writing identities, we have learned that tone shifts or changes in different rhetorical situations. A rhetorical situation is basically an event that consists of at least one person trying to change the perspective of another person. Looking at the definition, is it true that the tone changes in different rhetorical situations, depending on what is happening and what is being discussed in that period of time.
