Rhetorical Analysis Of Coming Home Again

“When I was seven I had an answer to this question that made sense to me….if I was the hunter, I would shoot the monkey so that it would no longer have the chance to put other hunters in the same predicament” (Beah 218). A Long Way Gone is a memoir of a child soldier who is the author himself Ishmael Beah. Beah around the ages of twelve to thirteen grew up in Sierra Leone during its civil war. During his story, Beah talks in a tone that is straight to the point, however many devices help the reader imagine his loss of innocence. Beah uses a series of flashbacks, symbols and motifs to illustrate his loss to his readers.

In the passages, “The Last Wilderness Preserve” and “A New Land of Opportunity”, the authors make arguments about how human behavior and actions impact antarctica.

The article “The Veterans Are Coming! The Veterans Are Coming!” was posted in September 2008 on insidehighered.com by Edward F. Palm. In this article I can identify a bit of logos, but Palm uses a majority of ethos and pathos. I found a large amount of ethos in the foreword because the information talks about Palm and his experiences, which gives him immense credibility. Palm served with the U.S. Marines in the Vietnam War. He used to be a dean for social sciences and humanities at Olympic College and now he is a full-time online teacher for Strayer University. Palm is reliable to give advice on how to treat veterans on college campuses and help them be successful students because of his own experiences with administration and returning to school as a veteran. Palm even points out that he knows what he is

“Who would pretend that a history of a migration has immunized the United States against bigotry?” In Staying Put: Making a Home in a Restless World, Scott Russel Sanders uses this rhetorical question to convince his readers to think more logistically about migration. He pries open the eyes of Americans and shows them the damage that moving can cause, as opposed to Salaman Rushdie’s thoughts that it was only positive.

In the essay An Unwinnable War by Robert K. Brigham, he used a different point of view to analyze the U.S. military and how they lost in Vietnam. He also examines three different strategies that were brought up time and time again that could have possibly won the war. Brigham explains to us how he thinks none of these strategies would have gained a victory for the U.S. because they did not fully understand the structure of South Vietnam and the government itself. The first suggested strategy is the invasion of North Vietnam, just above the demilitarized zone at the 17th parallel. What Brigham is saying is that these leaders who supported a strategy like this were overlooking certain aspects such as the threat of China, who was possibly looking

Although As my father always says,“ No family is perfect. We argue we fight. We even stop talking to each other at times. But in the end, family is family. The love will always be there.” “Shout” by Dagoberto Gilb is a story about a struggling young family. This story begins on a hot day. The husband who is a laborer returns home after a hard day at work. When he looks to escape from the toil of his labor, he realizes that his home life does not provide the relief he desperately seeks. Therefore, he starts drinking, watches TV, and oblivious to the labors of his wife as she struggles to keep up with the kids in line. Thus, the kids complain loudly as he starts drinking his fifth beer. He snaps and shouts at them in general. In his

Michael Gerard Bauer’s moving novel The Running Man is set in Ashgrove, Brisbane during the early 2000’s and tells the story of the unlikely friendship that is established between Tom Leyton, an enigmatic recluse, and his young neighbour Joseph Davidson. Several characters in the story exemplify that our initial perception of someone and what we see and hear about them is in no way an accurate reflection of who they truly are and all there is to see and know about them. As a child, Joseph saw Simon Jamieson as the mysterious ‘Running Man’ despite not being aware of the tragic past that caused him to be this way. Likewise, Mrs Mossop is perceived by the Davidsons to be somewhat of sticky-beak until she reveals the reason for her excessive caution.

In A Long Way Gone, Ishmael Beah descriptively writes about his experience as a child soldier in the civil war in Sierra Leone. In his memoir he shows how everyday things can be seen in a hostile way from war. Beah uses rhetorical strategies such as characterization and imagery to help.

Since “Annabel Lee” and “The Highwayman” are both narrative poems, the speakers of each story influence certain features of the plots. The narrator of “Annabel Lee” is also the affected lover who is recalling the catastrophic incident that is his lover’s death. Since he is actually a part of the storyline, he conveys the plot the way he had experienced it as it began “with a love that was more than love” but progressed onward to the “killing [of his] Annabel Lee”. The passionate narrating establishes his reliability as a narrator as the audience can truly sense his pain for the loss of his lover. However, the narrator of “The Highwayman” is not involved with any aspect of the storyline and, therefore, tells the story from a bystander’s point of view. Even though the narrator is not directly impacted by the events, they are still able to captivate the audience by utilizing lifelike elements, such as the “tlot-tlot; tlot-tlot” of the horse, to institute their trustworthiness as a narrator. Therefore, both narrators within “Annabel Lee” and “The Highwayman” add different elements of persuasion to their narratives to establish an authentic storyline.

Immigration has been one of the largest topics of political conversations recently due to the extreme stances taken towards it with the current presidency. President Trump’s entire campaign was based on promises to take harsh measures against illegal immigration, blaming immigrants for many of the nation’s problems. His rhetoric caused many individuals to take action against those who heavily believe in mass deportation. During his presidency, he unfortunately was able to pass policies that allow the Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be extremely strict and harsh on arresting anyone suspected of being an illegal immigrant. These policies further incite the argument concerning the power balance between federal and state governments, otherwise

In our advertisement for Feeding America, my group appealed to our audience of classmates and Ms. Buescher through the relatability and necessity of proper nutrition. My group, consisting of Irene, Nia, and myself, spoke about hunger because we realized the importance of a proper diet and how our audience could understand the urgent necessity for hunger relief in America. Our audience may not have originally understood the scale of hunger in America, so we provided a statistic to show that one out of every eight people face hunger. This and other devices, such as the image, additional statistics, and textual explanation, were used to persuade the audience to donate to Feeding America.

I could not agree more with every word Hand said in his, “Spirit Of Liberty” speech. In Hands speech he says, “Liberty lies in the heart of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it”. This stands out to me because, it truly is the meaning of America in my eyes. America is more than just a place I was born. (I say this because to some people in the 21st-century, this is all America means to them) To me, being an American is a privilege. Every day I get to wake up without the feeling of not being safe, which is a gift I take for granted every single day. Hand put it this way, “In the spirit of America our young men are at this moment are fighting and dying”. Being an American means sacrifice for the generations to come.

I believe the audience McGray is trying to reach is Americas. He talks about the youth of America but I don’t think that the youth will be the main reader of this article. The style of his writing attracts higher educated personal thus attracting more towards parents and the school educators and that is why I think that is his main audience. The purpose of this article is to illuminate the importance of being able to argue in a noteworthy and professional way in “the world beyond U.S borders” by enlarging multicultural education. He continuously talks about how Americas youth is not being properly educated in countries and its effects.

In every home, there is a different definition of family and how family should treat each other. Two short stories were read by an author named Flannery O’Connor. “A Good Man is Hard to Find”. It was about a dysfunctional family who encounters a criminal named “The Misfit”. The grandmother which is the main character is very judgmental towards others and sometimes her own family at times. This story starts off with a disagreement on where to go for a family trip, but they decide on going to Florida for the family trip after a while of arguing. On this trip, it showed what type of family they are. They talk about everything with one another as well as bicker and fight but at the end of the day, they are still family and love each other. They come together the most in panicking situations such as the accident and waiting for a car to help them. The point of this paper is the theme of family. Specifically, family is a theme in this short story because it depicts a dysfunctional family; the family you see on a crazy television show and can’t get enough of because they’re funny but also they have serious moments. There 's the two troublesome and annoying kids, the hot-headed dad who tries to maintain control of a situation and fails, the wife busy attending to the baby, and the grandmother, who 's a case all to herself (and also the main character). Though the story starts out seeming like a comedy, it takes a serious turn when the family encounters a criminal, who kills them
