Rhetorical Analysis Of 1 John

Most likely, one has heard about the story of Pocahontas and John Smith. However, John Smith was not as lovable and kind as he was portrayed, and as you might think. In the letter Address to Captain Smith, the speaker, Chief Powhatan, Pocahontas’ father, takes a condescending tone and addresses to the English settlers, especially John Smith, how the chief’s generous hospitality has not been appreciated. Literary devices (such as rhetorical questions, antithesis, and repetition), diction, and pathos are exercised by Chief Powhatan to address his purpose and produce it as impactful as possible.

Have you ever thought of being on the run from an intense army ? Well , in this speech from Chief Joseph , he explains how is army has been killed and majority of his people have ran away to the hills because of the cold weather upon them. He is also worried because the young men now have to step up and lead the chiefs in an innovative direction.

In contrast , he uses three rhetorical devices to release his thoughts and feelings from the outcome from fighting.

John also reveals Christ’s identity, “In the beginning the Word (logos) already existed. He was with God, and he was God…He created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn’t make. Life itself was in him and this life gives light to everyone.” (John 1:1, 3-4)

Throughout the passage, Barry establishes an optimistic tone through encouraging diction. For example, on lines 20-21, he says "To move forcefully and aggressively even when uncertain requires a confidence and strength deeper than physical courage" (Barry). Here, he is conveying the point that a scientific breakthrough takes hard work and dedication, but keeps a reasonably optimistic tone and gives his audience a boost of positivity. He also uses an encouraging tone on line 49 when he says "ultimately, if the researcher succeeds, a flood of colleagues will pave roads over the path laid, and those roads will be orderly and straight" (Barry). He gives his audience, who may be that successful researcher one day, a reason to keep working by lifting

Throughout the novel, Janie waits for men to rescue her from her life rather than her taking action to have a better life and claiming her independence. Janie’s reliance on men is shown following Jody's death when she realizes "that she had a host of thoughts she had never expressed to him, and numerous emotions she had never let Jody know about. ”() Due to the fact that Janie allowed Jody's oppression suppress these "thoughts" and "emotions", and the fact that she only accepted them after his passing, Janie's passivity while in her relationship is exemplified. Janie relies upon death to give her the courage to "find" her suppressed emotions. Janie’s reliance on death is shown here because she is only able to find these emotions inside of herself

Jonathan Edwards combines many persuasive techniques in this sermon, he uses Logic, appealing to the audience’s emotions, and the past teachings of puritans , but appealing to the audience’s emotions was most effective. Jonathan Edwards used emotions to get through the audience’s head, particularly the fear technique. He made them believe God had everybody’s fate in his hands, and one wrong move, and God could drop you to burn in hell. Everyone during this time fear the unknown. We don’t know if it’s the end of our being, or the beginning of an everlasting life. What we don’t know we make great strides to knowing what it is. Religion is the same. We afraid of dying because we don’t know what it feels like to die. It’ll happen to all of us,

The passage from Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison describes Milkman’s confrontation with his mother, Ruth, at the cemetery. Before, Macon has convinced Milkman to be disgusted of Ruth because of Ruth’s supposed affair with her father and Ruth’s nature as a sexual deviant. One day, Milkman follows Ruth to see with his own eyes the proof that Ruth is a sexual deviant, and Milkman is led to the cemetery. Milkman confronts Ruth whom reveals that she did not have an affair with her father. Ruth says, “No. But I did kneel there in my slip at his bedside and kiss his beautiful fingers,” which contradicts Macon’s account of what happened. Ruth, fully clothed, only kissed the hands of her mother. Ruth did not strip naked and kiss her father on the mouth like Macon said. Then, Milkman points out Ruth’s nursing of

"It appears, that of all the apostle John was especially favoured with our Lord's regard and confidence, so as to be called the

Throughout the passage, John M. Barry uses a variety of methods to describe the process of scientific research. The author gives us long metaphor where a scientific investigator is like a pioneer in an unexplored region of the world. The author also gives us a little bit of background information on characterizations needed for scientific research.

William James believes that our emotions are caused by bodily reactions in which then promotes the mental feeling of the emotion. For example, James says that we feel sad because we cry, rather than we crying because we feel said (65). Too, James states that we are not born to be afraid, sad or anything, but as life progresses, humans and animals eventually discover these feelings toward a particular situation or object (68). It also occurs that even if a person does not express their emotion externally, their body tends to act in a way regardless of how the person expresses their emotions externally. An example of this is what James says when an individual is depressed, “the flexors tend to prevail” (69). Of course, In William James’ time,

A letter from John Downe, expresses rhetorical devices tone, diction, and pathos to achieve hopefulness in a way to persuade his wife to emigrate to the state.

1 John was written by John sometime between 90-95 AD as a personal letter to believers. He is writing concerning the assurance of eternal life as it seems though perhaps some had some doubts as to whether or not they were really saved because of sin. They key word throughout the entirety of the book is fellowship. He discusses some of the hindrances to fellowship, conditions for fellowship, and the benefits of fellowship. He was really trying to encourage the believers to live a Christian life that will lead to assurance. His secondary purpose was to refute Gnosticism and the false teachings related to it that denied some of the aspects of Christ. 1 John 1:5-2:2 is a discussion of the basis for fellowship to emphasize the main objective of

In this somewhat comical, yet pitiful denouement, John falls from grace as a result of Nicolas and Alisoun’s carnal sin. The characters Nicholas and Alisoun are set to make allusion to the Fall of Man as described in the book of Genesis, paralleling their actions to that of Adam and Eve. Before the passage, Nicholas is anxious to sleep with the carpenter’s wife so he deceitfully tricks John into believing that a second Noah’s flood is approaching. Fearful of losing his beloved Alisoun, John strays from his true pastor and follows that of another—that of an astrologer. The Orthodox Church during the 14th century forbade the teachings of science as they viewed the vocation as a heinous sin because it attempted to venture into “Goddes privetee” (268).

Shakespeare, in his acclaimed play Merchant of Venice, illustrates prejudice and discrimination: “Is like a villain with a smiling cheek, A goodly apple rotten at the heart. Oh, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!” (Shakespeare 96-98). Prejudice and discrimination always arises throughout different civilizations with various perspectives. During the Merchant of Venice, various interactions transpire which display prejudice towards the Jewish religion. Unfortunately, one character faces this discrimination the most. Vengeful, hurt, and angry, Shylock, a moneylender, exists as the character who faces prejudice for his religious beliefs. To provide background information, Jews during the Shakespearean era, disappointingly reside as the lesser
