Rhetorical Analysis Of Hamilton

In May of 1998, Kipland Kinkel brought a gun to his school. Over the course of two days this escalated from: being sent home, to murdering his father and mother, to murdering 2 students and wounding 26, earning a lifetime sentence of 111 years and 8 months in prison. In the court case being examined, the presiding judge addresses the original case, defendants ground for appeal, and the justification for the State’s decision to deny the appeal. Judge Haselton effectively uses ethos, logos, and pathos to support the Higher Court’s decision to deny the appeal because the original sentence was constitutional and just.

This is a New Yorker writing a review on a New York show, so I was able to expect biasty. There are many paths the writer could have approached with its topic of ‘Why Hamilton Has Heat.’ If a writer thought that ‘Hamilton’ does not deserve the popularity and success it received, there would have been sources of negative reviews and mentions of better options to watch on Broadway considering its over-hyped-ness. But instead, Piepenburg only praises the theatrical phenomenon and reveals his biasty with implications of well-deserved rewards. The writer does not dive in deep when assuming that historians are fans of the show by virtue of not pointing out any historical inaccuracy. For example, a historical inaccuracy in the show is a whole musical number; where Alexander Hamilton consults with Aaron Burr on writing the constitution when in fact, there was no evidence of Hamilton consulting Burr at all on writing the constitution(Carra

One of the most controversial aspects of Hamilton is also one of the most essential aspects which achieve’s Brecht’s alienation goal– the casting.

John Lewis initiates his claim by conveying that everyone in America should not tolerate racial segregation nor discrimination. In order to reach to his point, he uses the rhetorical device, pathos, in which it causes the “white” audience to feel remorse for what society has become. To illustrate this idea, Lewis reveals African Americans “live in constant fear of a police state”, “have been arrested on trumped charges”, and some faced “the death penalty for engaging in peaceful protest” (paragraph 2). The evidence highlights that they are going through hardships caused by the federal government because they are considered “inferior” compared to the “white” race. From this, readers can infer that white supremacy is being marked on the walls. Lewis is able to awaken Americans so they can realize how their actions are wounding African Americans. In addition, Lewis is representing the African American community so they can feel inspired to join the Civil Rights Movement. Possibly the speaker is trying to drag the African Americans out of their state of oblivion by incentivizing them to defend their rights. Lewis is addressing the problems to both audiences so they can feel the urge to fix them. Therefore, Lewis’ remarks in the first paragraph reveal that he identifies with the concerns of African Americans and how whites, mainly activists, should focus on addressing their issues.

LGBT representation is a touchy subject, and Amy is one of the few brave enough to explore the topic. However, she left more than a few holes in her argument, biting off more than she could chew.

Throughout history, minority races, specifically African-Americans and Hispanics, are often whitewashed into stereotypical themes; thug life, segregation, or the “bad guy”.
