Margaret Wente essay, celebrate boys' boyness develops the theme that discrimination towards young boys in public schools is having negative outcomes on the productivity of boys in schools; ultimately causes negative effects toward their future.

The United States, as many believe, is the land of opportunity, however, when looking at individual states, towns, and cities, this popular slogan may seem false to some. Within each state, all schools, such as middle and high schools, may not receive or offer equity. In an effort to revel inequalities within school systems, I will discuss the differences between schools in my town, the apparent lack of public concern about schooling inequality, and what changes could be made in an effort to reduce schooling inequality.

While all fields of academia possess some level of practical application, there remains an ever-important and all-encompassing skill which is needed to truly understand each subject: reading. Though literacy rates in the US near 100%, literacy unaccompanied by tools such as context, critical analysis, and sufficient skepticism can leave one lost in arduous texts and vulnerable to flawed arguments. This notion is rarely rejected by anyone at face value, rather, questions regarding the implementation and perceived importance of certain reading strategies alienates differing camps. Many attempts at mitigating the dilemma of subpar reading comprehension have been made, most notably, Daniel Willingham's proposed reform of early education, Michael

For my third writing project, I have decided to create a research proposal, directed at the USC Rossier School of Education in order to get them to accept my dissertation examining the gentrifying effects of neighborhood preference in charter school lottery systems. This proposal is effective because it employs rhetorical strategies appropriate for the target audience – in this case, a committee of professors that are knowledgeable about the subject of the proposed dissertation. These rhetorical strategies include the structure of the document, stylistic choices such as academic diction and tone, and the choices regarding the content of the proposal.

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.

In their article, Students Step up to Lead Tech Implementation at Their Elementary School, Taryn Handlon and Tiffany Costa write about how TechXpert all started with an idea for prominent engagement. The Roosevelt Elementary School in Park Ridge, Illinois, had begun implementing new tools such as Chromebooks, Spheros, Dash and Dots, Cubelets, Snap Circuits, Osmos, Marble Mazes and a 3D printer to the classrooms, which highlighted the schools desire to collaborate technology with learning. This would not only transform the whole classroom environment, but also open the door for young students to explore computer science and technical engineering. The only issue seemed to be that teachers had no time to educate themselves on the tools and how

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.

Stella Young has lived with a disability all of her life, but has never let that stand in her way. While speaking at a TED conference in 2014 Young wanted to address an issue that most individuals overlook. This issue is about people with disabilities and the struggle they face every day to feel equal and part of a social norm. Stella speaks from experience and tries to make her audience see a new perspective of how individuals look at others with disabilities. Stella makes it clear that most individuals see people with disabilities as an inspiration which is widely propagated. In order for her audience to understand this view she shows a series of images to appeal both to logos and pathos. Stella wanted to show that we view these images logically

Oratory is about getting the job done as quickly as possible and not how efficiently or the best way to fulfill it. With Socrate’s discussion with Callicles, he determines what he is looking to fulfill and what oratory accomplishes, he declares, “I’d like to find out from the man what his craft can accomplish, and what it is that he both makes claims about and teaches” (Plato, 1987, p.2). Oratory has the power to persuade people into specific ways of thinking and producing information on what is being told. I see it as being a public speaker is essentially being an orator, not only is the orator expressing their beliefs to the public, but they are also persuading their viewers into believing they are skilled and how they should follow their

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.

According to Marc Goodman, a global strategist, author and consultant, and Vijay Kumar, Nemirovsky Family Dean of Penn Engineering, today’s technologies have a huge influence on our world, which, in turn, becomes very open, and that has implications both bright and dangerous. Nowadays, technologies are developing so fast and it makes our world easier and more comfortable, on one side, but dangerous and threatful, on the other side.

Donald Trump and Franklin Delano Roosevelt both use anaphora, imagery, and antithesis to provide a better understanding and clarity for the audience. Donald Trump uses anaphora to connect with the audience. He frequently says, “We will…” which implies that he will not abandon the citizens while he is the president of the United States. Trump uses anaphora in this example to make the audience feel like he is on the same level as the common person rather than superior to them. Trump uses anaphora to comfort the audience. Franklin Roosevelt also uses anaphora to connect with and assure his audience that he will do what is best for the country. He says, “It can be helped by…” several times toward the end of his speech. He repeatedly says
