Rhetorical Analysis Of Science By J. Michael Bishop

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.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a government website that provides information about various diseases, disabilities, disorders, etc.. The CDC provides multiple webpages about Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) that list and provide information about causes, treatments, variations, and signs/symptoms of the disorder. On their informative pages, they use rhetorical devices to better portray their message. The CDC effectively uses the three rhetorical devices, pathos, ethos, and logos, to reach their goal of informing their target audience and providing a clear perspective on Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

The following is a rhetorical analysis of Neil deGrasse Tyson’s testimony to the US Senate Committee on Commerce Science and Transportation. The audience of the speech is the Committee on Commerce Science and Transportation and anyone who comes across the article online. The original form of the testimony was a speech; however we are viewing it as an article. The context is a presentation setting with multiple people. Tyson’s purpose is to persuade the Committee on Commerce Science and Transportation to increase NASA’s Mars science exploration budget.

The purpose of The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is to protect the health of America and to “promote the quality of life through the prevention and control of the disease, injury, and disability (CDC, 2013).” The CDC has a concern about a growing disease that is normally found in children to young adults called Attention- Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, also known as ADHD. This Rhetorical Analysis will be focused on ADHD. The CDC’s Website is trying to inform current or future patients, parents and care givers, and teachers on how to handle this illness.

Dr. Frost’s comments: With his clear explanation, illustrative quotes, and logical organization, the student easily proves his thesis, recapped and affirmed very well in the final paragraph.

Finding an introductory paragraph that hooks the reader can be troublesome, but throughout the course, I have spent considerable time developing that technique. The body of my arguments each exhibit strong support for the thesis. In addition, my conclusions summarize the papers without restating unnecessary information. Overall, my comprehension of the basic format of an argument has proved to be a valuable asset.

Gene Weingarten used multiple rhetorical strategies and devices such as lists, anecdotes, and metaphors in order to appeal to his audience’s sense of credibility, emotion, and logic. The audience he is aiming to reach is people that don’t believe they are capable of killing their child by leaving them in a hot car. He is trying to show that anyone is susceptible to doing this, as well as introducing the possibility that killing your child in that manner, isn’t always a crime. Everyone is at mercy of their brain’s functions and the way their body handles memorization and stress. The way he presents his argument with multiple anecdotes, and various other strategies help Weingarten reach his audience and achieve his purpose.

Krakauer’s argument is, “McCandless wasn’t “stupid, tragic, and inconsiderate,” but instead paints a sympathetic picture of a young man with a profound moral compass seeking a higher truth”. His effective case justifying McCandless’s behavior, which may include potential biases, is effective for most personages. This contretemps is feasible, but there are some personages, like Peter Christian, that see the flip side of Krakauer’s assessment. Peter, who “arrived in Alaska in 1992” with McCandless, said “Alaska is populated with people who are either running away from something or seeking themselves in America’s last frontier” he came to Alaska with the same intentions. In his article he states that he was one of those young man.

“What, if anything, lies beyond our senses?”- Neil deGrasse Tyson. Neil deGrasse Tyson is an Astrophysics and also the author of “Coming To Our Senses”, which was published March 1st, 2001. This is a rhetorical essay arguing that our senses are limited. Neil deGrasse Tyson used allusions, ethos, and logos effectively to deliver an essay about our five senses to a non-scientific audience. One rhetorical device that the author used was allusions.

In Florence Kelley’s speech before the convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia on July 22, 1905, she argues that there are millions of young children working under harsh conditions that is not acceptable in human nature. Kelley promotes an end to child labor by utilizing pathos and repetition in her speech to strengthen her claim. By stating out facts, she compares the conditions of young boys and girls with healthy men in order to emphasize about child abuse and to encourage her audience to stand with her to fight for child labor laws.

“Tonight, HIV marches resolutely toward AIDS in more than a million American homes, littering its pathway with the bodies of the young -- young men, young women, young parents, and young children. One of the families is mine” (Fisher). Mary Fisher, born April 6, 1948 would have never imagined growing up one day to speak those exact words and more. Fisher never expected to be telling her story while pleading for others to become aware of HIV and AIDS, to help those who have these awful diseases. However, on the night of August 19, 1992 she did what she would have never expected to do growing up, she delivered a speech on the importance of helping those with HIV and AIDS and told her story trying to prompt others to figure out a way to stop this epidemic that was happening with HIV and
