Rhetorical Analysis Of Notre Dame

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.

In the city of Los Angeles is Fremont High School, and unlike most schools in the country, this one runs on a three-track schedule, meaning that it is open year round with short numerous breaks throughout the year. The school contains 3,300 students in attendance year round and being that the school is lacking in funds and hindering the students from following their dreams, this is very impactful on a large amount of people beause it lacks also preparation for college. In the article, “Fremont High School”, Jonathan Kozol examines the conditions of Fremont High School from the perspective of the students, and teachers alike. He uses statistics that have been submitted to the courts during depositions and student recounts of activity. Jonathan Kozol uses persuasive techniques such as ethos, logos, and pathos in the article, “Fremont High School”, to persuade the audience, members of society, that they can help by providing funds, because of the lack of funding it has caused a disservice to the students, causing students to struggle with following their dreams.

College Football is American Football played by student athletes at universities and colleges around the Nation. In American Football they have a Quarterback, in most cases, the Quarterback is the leader and focal point of the Football Team. At the University of Florida, they had a guy named Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow was the Heisman winning and Star Quarterback for the University of Florida Gators, but was also well known for his public display of religious faith on and off the Football Field. On September 27, 2008, the Florida Gators lost a disappointing game against the Ole Miss Rebels; Where Tim Tebow was stopped 1 yard shy away from giving the Gators a chance to win the game. It was a disappointing loss as the Florida Gators were expecting an undefeated season, and another shot at College Football’s National Championship. After the game at the usual post game conference, an obvious emotional Tim Tebow talked about the struggles of the game and delivered the famous “I Promise” speech that will be forever remembered at the University of Florida and College Football history. Tim Tebow’s speech empowered and inspired football fans across the nation and was the reason his team won the National Championship.

In paragraphs 29-31, Swift mentions several expedients, such as taxes, wearing homemade clothes, rejecting foreign luxury, curing vices among women, instilling the virtues of patriotism, taxing the absentees, and rejecting divisiveness while promoting honest, industry, and skill. Swift’s speaker stated at the end of all his expending, “How preceptors!” Swift’s rhetorical purpose is to make the reader realize that he is ironic as well as understand what he actually stands for. The reader learns that Swift is forced to resort to ironic tone to reveal his true intention, which would otherwise go unnoticed. Swift is ironic because there is no way his expedients could succeed in a time that Ireland was in, he was mainly trying to highly the economic problems affecting the county at the time.

Coach Eddie Rake was a vigorous man and had a lot of determination to win any game he could. He went on to be their coach for thirty four years, with “418 wins, 62 losses, 13 state titles, and from 1964 to 1970 an undefeated streak that ended at 84” (Grisham 11). There was still one question, “Do I love Eddie Rake, or do I hate him?” (Grisham 223). A lot of the players answered differently, saying that “Coach Rake was not easy to love, and while you’re playing here you really don’t like him. But after you leave, after you’ve been kicked around a few times, you soon realize how important Coach Rake is and was” (Grisham 223-224). Rake was there for Nat when he needed him most, and it took too long for the others to realize how good of a coach he actually was. “And when the name of Eddie Rake was mentioned, he would smile and maybe laugh and tell a story of his own. One with a happy ending” (Grisham

Sports, especially football, are a major part of the universities in the United States. Many times they are valued over education. Many college athletes end up getting a poor education, because they tend to look at how the universities sports teams are doing rather than the level of education they will be getting. Steven Salzburg notices this problem and writes about it in his article “Get Football Out of Our Universities.” He acknowledges the fact that we have prioritized a game used to entertain people over the education of Americans and that this trend has to come to an end. According to him, football needs to be removed from the university system in order to avoid becoming “the big, dumb jock on the world stage” (1). Salzburg uses a combination of ethos, logos, pathos, and kairos in an unsuccessful effort to persuade universities and avid football fans that the interest in football is jeopardizing our advances in science, technology, engineering, and math.

Author’s note: Shortly after submitting this piece, it was learned that starting nose tackle Jarron Jones tore his MCL and is out for the season. Obviously, that changes what was written in describing the defense in point #4. However, Notre Dame has experience behind him and a freshman in Jerry Tillery who enrolled in the spring and participated in spring practices for Notre Dame. Coach Brian Kelly had this to say about him during those early practices. As I noted in the defensive section, because Jones was hurt last year, players were forced into action and gained a ton of quality experience. Add a blue-chip talent like Tillery to that group and Notre Dame should recover from this very effectively.

Surviving a tragedy: Rhetorical Strategies in Nikki Giovanni’s “We are Virginia Tech” Overcoming a tragedy: throughout the known history of the United States of America there have been one hundred and thirty seven school shootings. The Virginia Tech massacre is one of the most known school shootings, killing thirty two and injuring another seventeen. This massacre occurred on April 16, 2007 and is recorded as one of the deadliest school shooting incidents by a lone gunman in U.S. history. Giovanni’s speech aims to persuade that the Virginia Tech family will be strong enough to overcome. During his speech Giovanni discusses the unfairness of the situation, that no one could see it coming, and compares it to many other worldly injustices.

The stage was set, an all-out brawl between Notre Dame and Boston College at a frigid eleven degrees. The contest started with a swift Touchdown after a 63 yard drive dominated by passing. Flutie executed what seemed as a perfect drive except for the PAT. Boston’s kicker slipped on the frozen turf and the kick was blocked. ND quickly responded with their own TD and the games’ only completed PAT. After this point it became worse and worse for the BC Eagles. Most of their problems were special teams related. By the half BC was down 19 to 6.

To start off I am somewhat confused on exactly what we are trying to accomplish, although I understand the basics in what we are doing in this paper. I would like to talk about and look up information on building large structures such as skyscrapers as well as complex buildings like the Darla Moore School of Business. How I plan to go about doing this is by showing you first what I already know about building structures that I have learned in previous building construction classes. I then plan on finding more information inside of The Carolina Rhetoric in order to better understand how you can come about constructing such a complex structure. There can be many problems that you face when trying to construct these buildings such as making sure

In the hours after Notre Dame’s 31-0 thrashing of rival Michigan under the lights of Notre Dame Stadium, defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder’s stock had never been higher. His defense had just held Michigan to 289 total yards, forced four turnovers, registered three sacks, and produced perhaps the greatest gif in college football history. He’d replaced Bob Diaco’s “bend but don’t break”, totally unfun philosophy, with an attacking defense where he routinely sent multiple safeties, linebackers, cheerleaders, mascots, or as Don Criqui described it, the whole world. It was beautiful to watch; players flying around, making plays, taking the fight to the opponent.

The game was at a stalemate with the Cougars (score0 – (Pirates)(score) after the first half. At halftime, a special groundbreaking ceremony led by UH President(add info)

It could have been anyone standing on that stage and saying the same words and the story would still be a good one, but since all this happened to him, it is all the more effective because of it. It wasn’t just any man that got to marry his lover of twenty-four years, it was him. It wasn’t any little boy at the age of nine that got pushed into a ditch for being gay, it was him.

Patrick’s childhood and how he ended up in Ireland, God’s calling for St. Patrick which was to spread Christianity in Ireland, how he explained Christianity to the Irish using the clover as a visual (holy trinity) and how that became a symbol of St. Patrick’s day, Irish culture, Christianity and importance in Ireland, and St. Patrick’s day traditions. I could tell these were his main points because he effectively used transitions to describe what he was going to say next and how it related back to what was said previously (7). The conclusion of the speech was not very effective. For this audience full of college students, he should have signaled that he was going to end his speech at a later time since college students are hasty to leave after lectures. Since he did it too early, students started shuffling and it was hard to hear what he had to say at the end. He did not end it cleanly since people were packing up, and the impact of what he had informed his audience previously was diminished
