Rhetorical Analysis For The Love Of Learning By David Mccullough

How many times have you dropped those swimming classes? When was last time you put off in getting that enrollment for the gym? “Unlimited” ads campaign by Nike, appeals to its audience by showing people who even having certain difficulties, go after what they want and push their limits as much as they can, which is not a little. The ads feature a grown Sister competing in a triathlon, a transgender who runs with the National men’s team and a climber with no extremities. Nike didn’t choose these actors for its ads by accident, they are source of inspiration for all those athletes that always put the best of themselves in whichever the activity that passionate them is. People who would be the main target for this campaign.

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.

During the time Florence Kelley was advocating for changes, child labor was a popular unrestricted practice. The kids were working making textiles and other items in horrible working conditions. Many states had children working more than 12 hours a day and night shifts while they were not allowed to go to school. Florence Kelley was a United States social worker and a reformer. She fought ferociously for improvements in child labor and conditions for working women. At this convention for the National American Woman Suffrage Association she wants to reach out the women focused on suffrage towards other issues. Kelley used rhetorical strategies to help convince her audience to help her fight against child labor. The use of repetition, imagery, and rhetorical question help get her point of eradicating child labor across to the audience.

In the middle of the speech, Florence Kelley states the situation regarding the legality of child labor in many states, using firm facts, doleful repetition, and ironic diction to arouse within the audience a sympathetic response to want the children removed from their harmful situations along with the logical response of wanting to repeal the laws associated with allowing children in damaging manufacturing industries. Kelley employs several examples of different laws in different states allowing children to work long hours at young ages. One example given describes even the lack of restrictions on child labor whatsoever. “In Georgia there is no restriction whatever! A girl of six or seven years…may work eleven hours by day or by night.” Utilizing

In Florence Kelley’s speech delivered to the National American Woman Suffrage Association in 1905, the author employs empathetic repetition, strong facts, and piteous diction to inspire as many people as possible to work against child labor.

Many people can confuse joy and pleasure because they are similar or the same thing but author Zadie Smith mentions the differences between joy and pleasure. She explains that sometimes joy can’t be pleasurable at all. She talks about joy as a different type of emotion.

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.

Florence Kelley, an active social worker and reformer of the 20th century, rants over the horrendous working conditions kids must endure. She presents this in her speech before National American Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia, which provides context and credibility for her argument. Kelley argues clearly of the terrible conditions and work hours kids suffer to bring about her message of, “enlisting the workingmen voters.” This is essentially to free the kids from the disastrous issue through her usage of credibility, empathetic tone to strike the audience, and her usage of examples of their conditions and state rules to support her message and purpose.

Ronald Reagan 's Farewell Address was an amazing example of conveying the fundamentals for freedom through an emotional and visual lesson. It is no wonder that the president known as the "great communicator" was successful in painting for us a picture of who we were, past and present, and the improvements in the areas of strength, security, and stability that this great nation, or as Reagan referred to in his speech of John Winthrop 's vision of it as a "city upon a hill", had achieved over the past eight years. This amazing example has even been considered one of the

Additionally, by using pathos appeal it allows the reader sympathize and familiarize with Tim O’Brien’s emotions. He invokes the audience by asking rhetorical questions which put yourself in his situation. “What would you do? Would you jump? Would you feel pity for yourself? Would you think about your family and your childhood and your dreams and all you're leaving behind? Would it hurt? Would it feel like dying? Would you cry, as I did?” (54) He uses emotional nouns that everybody has an emotional attachment with like “family, childhood and dreams.” By questioning important aspects of life, really makes the reader sympathize with his confusion. O’Brien adds to the pathos appeal by applying anaphora and parallel structure by repeating the words

From pages 52 to 54, O’Brien creates a parable that shows the true nature of the fear hidden in us that latches on and doesn’t let go. He exhibits this through the repetition of this fear, the lack of any onlookers to judge, and the rhetorical questions asked. The main idea is that when confronted with a frightful idea such as war, you will feel your truest emotions and they will conflict with your thoughts and even other emotions, and of these fear is strongest.

Well known president, Ronald Reagan, in his address to the nation, “Explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger,” expresses grief for the explosion of the Challenger. Reagan’s purpose is to commemorate the seven men and women, who lost their lives and offer hope to those who will continue to explore space. He creates a sad, yet hopeful tone in order to convey to America, we all mourn the loss of the Challenger Seven, but our space program will continue.

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

Judy Rebick is guilty of fallacious reasoning in her article. She starts out with an appeal to pity when she writes about how she thought she was getting ill, but then realized that she “hadn’t taken a day off in more than six weeks.” When stating this fact, she is attempting to elicit a reaction from the reader, getting them to have pity for her and how exhausted she is. She also appeals to the fears of readers when she is looking at some of the facts related to the subject of overwork. She indicates that “family breakup is three to eight times more likely in couples with children if one parent works nights or does shift work.” Family life and sustainability is on the mind of men and woman alike in society today. With ever increasing

Barry uses diction in order to say that scientific research is uncertain, but can sometimes be good. For example, he says, “If a researcher succeeds… the perfect tool will be available for purchase, just as laboratory mice can now be ordered from supply houses.” The use of simile suggests that scientific research can be rewarding when done correctly, as shown through the comparison of results to something as simple as buying supplies at a store. This tells the readers that uncertainty is not always a bad thing, and good things come to those who deal with it well. In addition, the author states, “If [scientists] are at least partly correct their probing acts like a crystal to precipitate an order out of chaos.” The use of imagery suggests that
