Rhetorical Devices Used By Brittany Stinson

He did an exceptional job while he begins his essay explaining about the issues that he was facing to let the readers understand his perspective. He then gathered information and provide the facts and situations about the obstacles he was facing on his college life. He also used the information that he experienced to support his statements. As he made his point, he distinctly provided the reader with the solution to the problems he was facing and he also explained how each of these solution would work out. This made it extremely easy for his readers to follow.

The overall purpose of the essay written by Bartholomae was to inform readers, and as a writer this essay contrived me in a way that was only positive in which influenced me to pull in my audience. This essay had a successful purpose. I sometimes reread a few paragraphs in case I misread something, I try to avoid skimming when I read the first time and use techniques such as Underlining and highlighting words. Some students may excel in an area of writing that another student can’t.

Rhetorical strategies are a great way for an author to get their tone and what they want to share to their reader. In Barbara Jordan’s Becoming Educated she uses rhetorical strategies to do just that. Jordan uses repetition and diction to increase her effectiveness of her message. She does so that the reader can also relate to what she is going through. By using repletion and diction she weaves these rhetorical devices throughout her experience to increase its effectiveness to convey her voice and her personal sense of growth.

Improving undesirable working conditions for women and eliminating child labor was an impassioned issue for female reformers during the time of industrialization in the United States. Florence Kelley, a united states social worker and reformer, opposes the appalling work environment children as young as six would toil through and relays her speech to the National Woman Suffrage Association to propel her audience to demand changes that are necessary to stop countless hours of hard-work the youth struggle to complete. Kelley adopts a fervid tone in order to convince the audience that political action is needed to adjust the laws that allows child labor to continue in many states with her use of pathos and rhetorical questions meant to stir action

Throughout the novel, Janie waits for men to rescue her from her life rather than her taking action to have a better life and claiming her independence. Janie’s reliance on men is shown following Jody's death when she realizes "that she had a host of thoughts she had never expressed to him, and numerous emotions she had never let Jody know about. ”() Due to the fact that Janie allowed Jody's oppression suppress these "thoughts" and "emotions", and the fact that she only accepted them after his passing, Janie's passivity while in her relationship is exemplified. Janie relies upon death to give her the courage to "find" her suppressed emotions. Janie’s reliance on death is shown here because she is only able to find these emotions inside of herself

Mrs. Nelson is writing about the recent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, where many white supremacists are protesting with former KKK member to get their ¨country back.¨ Nelson is writing to the American people who are staying silent. Nelson is telling them to stand up and speak out against open racism. Nelson talks about how her ancestors, slaves, were never treated right. Nelson talks about how many things still did not change. Nelsons tone throughout the article was angry. Nelson seemed very upset about the situation. Nelson herself is African American which makes her a credible person to write this article. The author argues U.S citizens need to stand up against racism, and she supports her argument with her angry tone, implicit claims about privilege, and appeals to pathos.

Throughout the article “Colour”, Leigh Hunt uses rhetorical devices to describe how beautifully colorful the world is, and how rarely the beauty is acknowledged. Some of the most popular rhetorical devices used by Hunt are diction, imagery, pathos, logos, and ethos. By the end of an article, rhetorical devices should make the author’s tone known by the audience.

To add on, O’Brien lacks the knowledge and skill to help others, making him egocentric. It is sensible to state this due to his inability to be selfless and rid his mind of vain thoughts. O’Brien strongly believes that he “was too good for [the] war, he was too smart, too compassionate, too everything” (41). This hyperbole, an exaggeration, exhibits that O’Brien only thinks of himself and does not want to go to war because it does not benefit his future at all. He is unable to understand the nation’s need for his presence in Vietnam due to his uncontrollable anger which blinds him from an opportunity to help those who are hurting and are in need of help from people such as him. Additionally, his anger also resonates from his envious thoughts, which is caused by what he suggests is an unjust government.

Radiolab presented a very compelling story of a lady by the name of Diane became witness to the lives of a young couple in their somewhat private domain. Diane shared her story of her intimate, but very one-sided interaction with her new neighbors across the way, whom never shut their curtains, with one Radiolab’s producers, Briana Breen. During their conversation, Diane breaks down as to what drove her to do the things that she had done and how she felt in the time of this interaction. Like many other listeners to this podcast, as well as the storyteller Diane, I will explain as to why her actions are justifiable.

Obama sings the same old song written by Cal Thomas for the Washington Times is a criticism on President Obama’s approach to welfare. Cal’s main audiences with this writing are readers of the Washington times and Republicans. Cal Thomas disagrees with President Obama’s approach to poverty, he believes that it has already not worked for long enough and we should try a new approach. He uses many rhetorical tools throughout this piece such as: statistics and facts, personal experience, and selective information.

Thomas Carlyle said,“Music is well said to be the speech of angels”("John Bartlett Familiar Quotation."). Music is the speech of angels because music is universal just like the thought of angels. Music speaks to everybody in a different way. Music is a way for people to escape their feelings and know that they are not the only one in this world that feels that way. Music is the universal language of the world and can be interpreted in so many different ways. The theme is the author's message that can be interpreted in many ways. Each song uses different elements to create their theme. The Eli Young Band’s song, “Guinevere”, uses imagery, repetition, vivid diction, and a wistful tone to create the theme of people getting hurt so much that they

I will be analyzing the speech of the U.S. Representative for New York’s 12th congressional district Carolyn Maloney to push for a bill to address the growing problem of sex trafficking in America (Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, 2010). Maloney should have used more dramatic variation of volume when she drew in the American audience by emphasizing that this is a local and national problem.

Jill Bolte Taylor’s speech is an incredible insight into how the brain can work in certain moments and the functions of both hemispheres. She uses a mixture of everyday language and a language that only a certain community can understand, it was a comparison with the computer programming world. Jill uses amazing body language to help get her message across and demonstrate the movements of her life. Most importantly she uses descriptive wording, gives and educational stand point and the reasoning she started her career is compassionate.

The use of rhetorical devices is to give a better idea as to what is being told but also we constantly suing them already to express ourselves. Within the essay I used a metaphor which was, “ I stuck to my belief of honesty and eventually I made it through the thick mud I seemed to be crawling through” which used to emphasize the situation and express a struggle. I expresses the difficult I conquered in a different view. The statement, “Memories are like the seeds left behind from a fruitful moment” is a simile which I used to provide a clearer idea as to the perspective on memories and why they hold value. In the middle of the essay I wrote, “to learn more about the focus of the experiment, to understand the purpose, to focus on the function

¨Bright SIde¨ by Mike Stud is a song about his fame. The theme of this song is, work your hardest and you will succeed¨Cause me and all my guys just look at the bright side, If you're not in the right mind, then it ain't the right time¨(Mike Stud). This quote means that him and his crew work hard and look at the good things, if you don't have the right mindset then don't join them. ¨Better watch your bae like Hasselhoff¨(Mike Stud). This lyric is an example of a simile and it relates to my theme because he worked hard and he can get any girl. ¨Views keep on climbing the more that they play us¨(Mike Stud). This line is an example of personification. This relates to my theme because his group is working hard and it's paying off with more
