Summary Of The Labyrinth By Simon Bolivar

When Chavez states an argument, he then addresses the reader’s emotions to resolve any uplifting self conflict. He states, “Nonviolence has exactly the opposite effect.” Then in the next paragraph he states, “But if we are committed to nonviolence only as a strategy or tactic, then if it fails the only alternative is to turn to violence.” He does this for the people that do not completely agree with his point, to show that he acknowledges both sides, which strengthens his argument. He later uses, “Examine history. Who gets killed in the case of violent revolution?” He does this to make the reader remember the past of violent protest and how many people sacrificed their lives for a cause, which makes the reader more passionate towards supporting his argument.

Multiple times, throughout the text, Chavez uses pathos to appeal emotionally to his audience. Chavez builds a connection and empathy with the readers and persuades them to be people who fight for causes nonviolently. In the sixth paragraph Chaves states that, “men and women who are truly concerned about people are non violent by nature. These people become violent when the deep concern they have for people is frustrated and when they are faced with seemingly insurmountable odds.” Chavez states that everyone who actually cares about people should be nonviolent, that they shouldn’t have to resort to violence because they don’t need it. This quote builds a connection and causes self-reflection for the

For instance, “... human life is a very special possession given by God to man and that no one has the right to take it for any reason or for any cause” (8-10). Through this passage, Chavez helps the reader feel part of the conversation by referring to “God”. By referring to “God”, he opens the door to the audience's emotions allowing his words in. Then, Chavez uses the emotions he created to help explain that nonviolence only works if everyone is on board. If everyone is not on board, a situation will turn violent, leading to a conflict that only brings destruction of human life. This means that human life is more important than any other reason because God gave us the right to live. Chavez also states that “ People suffer...”( 77). Chavez intelligently used the word, suffer to tug at the audience's heart strings. This sentence helps people understand why violence is bad, people suffer. Also, Chavez makes the point that people “ … learned many years ago that the rich may have money but the poor have time” (93-94). The use of the statement above is Chavez closing remark saying that nonviolence may not be a fast alternative but everybody has time no matter what you have time. In all, Chavez's use of pathos that tug at the emotions of the audience allows them to open their hearts and understand that everyone is here for a reason no matter how small, life should not be

revolution? The poor, the workers.” By striking pity and making the reader reflect, Chavez grabs

Chavez uses rhetorical choices such as pathos in his speech to obtain sympathy from his audience. He wants people to understand that supporting violence will lead to the deaths of innocent lives. Chavez uses words like “injury” and “death” to evoke the readers while he explains how violence can end a life. These words are strong terms which provokes the audience’s emotions. For example, “violence will escalate… many injuries and deaths…” (Chavez). Chavez wants the readers to know that violence isn’t the only solution to problems because eventually

This exposure to new ideas played a crucially important role in the independence movement for Latin America, in that Simón used these ideas he was taught to influence the people of his country. Without Simón Bolívar’s avocation of these enlightment ideas to the people of Latin America, independence for these states may not have been possible. Since Simón Bolívar could be seen as responsible of the one advocating how important it is for citizens to fight for their rights and freedoms, and these ideas where the reason that ignited the movement towards independence. During the nineteenth century, many people needed some kind of guidance about how they should act and think in regards to being inferior to Spanish rule that had a hold on their country like Latin America experienced throughout Spanish colonial rule. Simón Bolívar and his enlightment ideas were just what the citizens needed in leading them towards independence, since it seemed like they were lost without his guidance. Perhaps Simón Bolívar was just the right intellectual at the right time, since it seemed that people during this time needed someone to guide or speak for them, and that they ultimately couldn’t think or act for themselves so Simón guided them. It was said that Simón Bolívar was considered an intellectual and that people followed his ideas and visions because his campaigns were so

This project’s purpose is to record a people who have lived through the promises and outcomes of the Bolivarian Revolution, an idea that captured Venezuela’s spirit and spread across 16 Latin America nations as the Pink Tide. The poor and working class will be a fundamental component of this story as I investigate the role the revolution has played in shaping the lives of this perpetually overlooked group of people. Simultaneously, the nature of these issues will create a portal into the world of Venezuelan heritage, traditions, and political and civic culture. What I write will be the reality of the situation; the interpretation will be left up to the reader.

In another case, “however important the struggle is and however much misery, poverty and exploitation exists, we know that it cannot be more important than a human life” which also shows Chavez’ familiarity to the emotions of his audience frequently experience (37-39). He brings up a moral factor as people are starting to consider harmful tactics. He is well aware of how hatred can lead to harmful effects, and he reminds his audience that it would be immoral to potentially take the life of a human being just because they are frustrated with the injustice system. Chavez is only trying to ease his audience because he is familiar that there is a widespread feeling of impatience and anger.

This creates a strong emotion of hopefulness within the reader since Chavez claims that he’s on their side which, helps convince the audience to listen to his argument about the importance of nonviolence more thoroughly. Basically, Chavez here is saying that we shouldn’t resort to violence no matter what hardships we face since it’s more important than relying on our negative emotions to attack others physically.

By depicting a sense of morals, Chavez is able to support the nature of nonviolence over any other possibility. The simplicity put into a single civil movement, allows for millions to participate from all across the country. The American people “yearn for justice,” and it is such yearning that appeals to such large crowds. Chavez also states that nonviolence “provides the opportunity to stay on the offensive.” By doing so, there is an advantage over the opposing side. Once escalated and turned violent, there is a “total demoralization” of the causae. In order to remain as morally good as the cause being fought, Chavez demonstrates how nonviolence would accomplish such.

Chavez uses one of his rhetorical questions in paragraph 13, that states, “Who gets killed in the case of violent revolution?” Then he goes on to make a great point that “poor people” & “Workers” are affected by the violence. This helps him convince the reader by telling how people are being hurt by the violent structures of others making the reader feel like it’s “wrong” to have violent resistance, which is leaning the reader more towards an agreement with the writer.

Starting in line 17, Chavez concludes that “if we resort to violence then” many lives will be lost or workers will be completely “demoralized”. By using if-then statements, Chavez anticipates routes people will choose when nothing seems to be effective and then follows up with the negative outcome bound to follow a senseless act of violence. The if-then statements stop readers in their tracks and immediately turns their perspective before they have a chance to consider violence as an

Violence is a black hole. When you get sucked into violence, it can be a hard thing to get away from. Chavez uses the emotions and logic of people to convince them that the best thing is nonviolence, so that you will not go down the road of violence. He brings up the reasons that nonviolence is the best way to handle things. If he can prove to the audience that nonviolence is the best, then people will not start down the road of violence, and it would not be a struggle to break away from. He appeals to his audience the reasons, both logical and emotional, that you should stick with nonviolence because violence isn’t helpful to you in the long run.

Labyrinths in the Borgesian World. A labyrinth can be defined as a “structure consisting of a number of intercommunicating passages arranged in bewildering complexity, through which it is difficult or impossible to find one’s way without guidance”. The life of Jorge Luis Borges was one filled with labyrinths. At an early age, Borges was haunted by these mysterious things that filled his childhood, with his first encounters coming from his father’s massive library.
