Rhetorical Analysis Of Remember To Say Thank You

The short story"Aha Moment" by Julia Alvarez demonstrates that the point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on. The story expresses the idea that simple acts of kindness can make a great impact on people both mentally and physically. It can turn frightening and tense situations into assurance and aplomb. In paragraph 8, it is stated," no one screamed,no one panicked. I could hear small pockets of soothing conversation everywhere."

Washington believed threats such as political parties, and associations with foreign alliances could weaken the nation. Today, it is believed that the Farewell Address is a prophetic warning for contemporary politics.

Imagine a world with people that eat nothing, but pure fast food. Fast food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Some people might say that it is their choice, others might blame the fast food industry because of their weight. In the essay called “Don’t Blame the Eater” by David Zinczenko states that people often eat fast food because they have an active life and do not have time for a healthy lifestyle. In my opinion, I agree with Zinczenko essay because it is reliable, supportive, and states facts because of the context he uses, examples, and his personal experiences. In this essay I will express my position on Zinczenko essay and state reasons why I picked this side.

In the publication “The Track Star Economy” known journalist and author for The New Yorker James Surowiecki conveys many things. The basic analogy we are given starts off involving the 2012 Olympics. He starts off by comparing the foreign athletes that come to train over here in the US, only to bring the knowledge and skills they have learned back to other countries. Yet why is this? If America is the land of opportunity why are these immigrants not staying and building lives here in America? The answer is actually quite simple, it’s because most of them are stuck in “immigration limbo” as Surowiecki so carefully puts it. These people are simply not tended to fast enough, therefore they go somewhere else where they can establish themselves and make a life with the education they have earned here in America. This is hurting our country.

Today, approximately 1 of every 3 adults in America suffers from obesity. In a world where people are surrounded by fast food 24/7, it is hard to come up with solutions to the growing obesity problem. In David Zinczenko's article Don’t Blame the Eater, written in 2002, he defends people who began suing fast food companies for their obesity. He justifies their choice to do so by pointing out the insufficient access to healthy food, the lack of choices for people who cannot afford to eat healthily, and the absence of information fast food companies provide about their products. These are used to convince his audience that the people who consume fast food are not to be blamed for their obesity because it is the fast food companies that are at

“When once the forms of civility are violated, there remains little hope of return to kindness or decency”(Johnson csmonitor.com). Samuel Johnson, English writer and essayist, popular in the 19th century, sums up the reality of modern American politics in such a simple sentence. However, the simple warning, unheeded, has surely stymied and gridlocked American government to such an extent, that even the most diehard believers in democracy are finding the current political environment to be permanently toxic and therefore, hopelessly ineffective. When did it all go wrong? One of the best examples of two political rivals that warred fiercely from 9-5, but liked and respected one another after hours, comes in the friendship of President Ronald Reagan and House Speaker Tip O’Neill. Reagan and O’Neill disagreed on nearly everything that a politician can include in a platform. Yet

The target audience is unclear as the topic is so broad that it can apply to basically anyone.
