Rhetorical Analysis Of The Tamarisk Hunter

The prose of this excerpt distinctively illustrates the speaker’s negative attitude directed at the “gentlefolk” people. The use of metaphors, an ironical satire, and vivid examples of their idleness amongst the gentlefolks assist the reader to identify his disdainful attitude towards the gentlefolks. According to the speaker the only thing that is holding this arrogant type of people back is their idleness, which leads to a number of odd mishaps.

     In chapter seven, the issue of water is seen rehashed yet again for one. Adelita Sandoval, whom Hellman interviews, shares her reasons for escaping to Tijuana, due to “a violent alcoholic husband” (pg.162), and the new life she began there. Her willingness to work in any situation enabled Sandoval to adjust quickly to her new environment. She sought out employment like everyone else, in what is known as a maquilina. “Mostly foreign-owned, these factories were constructed under the special tariff arrangements of the Border Industrialization Program.” (pg. 163) Sandoval paints a vivid picture of the long and monotonous

Rhetorical devices are used to strengthen writing and add dimension. When used properly, they add layers of complexity to any prose as well as further evidence for an argument. No one understood this better than Upton Sinclair. Four strong rhetoric devices are periodicity, the Rule of Three, metaphor and rhetorical questions. Sinclair masterfully demonstrates these in a speech featured in his novel, The Jungle.

“Nature is rich; but everywhere man, the heir of nature, is poor.” Lloyd begins his work by complaining about how the rich remain rich and the poor remain poor; however, as the essay progresses, one can see the accuracy of his views. He references the creation of Adam and Eve, stating that, “Never since time began have all the sons and daughters of men been all warm, and filled, and all shod and roofed.” It’s been true throughout history that because of monopolies that a very small percentage of men control a majority of land and resources. Lloyd states that individuals holding a majority of resources and land believe that that there is a scarcity; that there is not enough. And in order to survive, in order to be happy, in order to be prosperous, they must contain and constrain. Men must hold on to any and everything they can get their hands on. The minority has an opposing viewpoint. It feels that there is an abundance of resources, but because of unequal distribution, there is never enough to go around: “There is too much iron, too much lumber, too much flour―for this or that syndicate. The majority have never been able to buy enough of anything; but this minority have too much of everything to sell.” Lloyd concludes by expressing that we have become a “mutual deglutition.” He states that we have advanced too quickly and implicates that we are beginning to reverse

The 13th amendment of 1865 made people consider the use of slavery as a legal form of punishment for criminals. The amendment raises concerns over if African Americans were ever actually free in the United States. Although it states that the institution of slavery is illegal, it also states that slave labor is legal if in the form of punishment for incarcerated criminals. In 13th, Ava DuVernay employs the use of ethos, logos, and pathos through a variety of ways. Through the use of these techniques, Ava DuVernay connects them with vivid imagery to really drive her point that the 13th amendment did not necessarily end slavery, it just added a loophole that enslavers were able to use.

According to the Bhagavad Gita, a truly wise person should seek to subdue his senses in order to achieve Brahman State. The Bhagavad Gita opens with a scene in which Arjuna, a warrior prince, is speaking to his chariot driver who is really the god Krishna. Arjuna is deeply troubled by the fact that he is fighting his relatives and wishes to abandon the fight. It is here that his dialogue with Krishna begins. Their conversation revolves around many issues and questions that Arjuna has, one of them being about emotion and desire. There seems to be a fairly straightforward answer to his question. Many times in the book, Arjuna is told that he should subdue his emotions. However, there are still more questions to be answered. Why should emotions and desires be supressed? How does one suppress these desires? Finally, what is the cultural effect of this teaching? It is through these first two questions that Arjuna is able to understand the role of his desires, and through the third that the cultural effects of this doctrine can be explored.

A writer for the website shmoop wrote an informative article with bias that advocates the great qualities of the book. This anonymous author has a frank tone, trying to get the gist of the book, but takes time to address their argument. The writer uses logos displaying knowledge you gain from reading the book. He or she explains central themes and some underlining meanings. A huge part of ethos for this shop article is that the fact they add information you can only get reading the book. The author uses pathos within using Palahniuk's ideas that question society a whole. The writer clearly like to advocate for the themes of being lowly and the underdogs of this world. This written back in the 2008's so it is a little 2000 and late, but is claimed

This gives way to the idea of a socially produced scarcity where corporate and private interests for short-term economic growth linked with the rise of corporate power is converting the abundance of a resource into one that is scarce (Shiva, 2002). As such, water private companies should be excluded from water management, and more efforts should be directed towards instilling a "water democracy". She argues that this dichotomy on both sides of the spectrum of the water governance versus privatization debate are a reflecting of equitable versus inequitable distribution. Water scarcity is a reflection of the users that manage it and the systems that are in place to deliver and distribute water from known aquifers. While this may not be true in more drought stressed areas of the world, in a province like Ontario, it certainly is a reflection of governance, not geographic factors. This urges for a decentralized, community-based, democratic water management under which water conservation will be politically, socio-economically, and culturally inspired rather than economically-motivated. A private regime would provide incentives for water conservation through pricing since the perception of scarcity correlates to increased prices. Problems are evident with our current governance system as well as the private sector and P3s are certainly not a

First,’’there are also the endless treks to the laundromat for the family wash and the supermarket for drinking water, not to mention the horror of the nightly dishes’’ (Source 2). Officials say at least 1,300 people have lost their water in and around East Porterville, nearly three hours’ drive north of Los Angeles, making the town’s residents some of the hardest hit victims of the three-year-old drought’’ (Source 2).California adjusts the law that they don’t have enough money and not enough people to build the well.

Richer citizens are capable of getting by with safe water, but poorer settlements have limited access to water and are desperately in need of a privatized water system. In Villa San Miguel, the residents had recently dug a well, increasing their access to water. As Finnegan states, “Clean water was suddenly plentiful and relatively cheap -- households paid the water cooperative between two and five dollars a month to cover the costs of running the pump and maintaining the system.” [4]. Through the foundation of a new, inexpensive water source, this well provided water to 210 families. The expenses are covered by the townspeople, whom collectively can fund cheaper water sources compared with public access. Although this drastically decreases the number of people without water access, this is not a sustainable water source and will soon run out, excentrifying pollution and halting access.

In California, the region of the world having the seventh largest world 's economy,2 billionaires “hoard water in the “water banks” that have been quietly gifted to them by the government.”3 These water-bank-systems allow to accumulate water in the underground reservoirs for water-bank holders ' needs or for purpose of leasing.4 One such system, Kern Water Bank, a thirty square miles of marshland filled with flocks of birds,5, is used to water pomegranate trees, a key ingredient in production of the fruit-drink by POM-Wonderful, a company owned by the billionaires Stewart and Lynda Resnick.6 Ironically, Kern Water Bank Authority, technically a public agency, is subsidized by the Paramount Farming Company, a company with world 's largest pistachio and almond production, which is also owned by the Resnicks.
