In the book “Decoded,” rapper and businessman Jay-Z describes the emergence of hip hop culture while sharing his childhood memories, life challenges, and passions. Along with Jay-Z’s personal narrative, he provides an explanation for his song lyrics to educate readers about hip hop’s importance, his life, and national issues. Thus, he creates several arguments about hip hop’s purpose in the music industry. Two of Jay-Z’s main arguments consisted of hip hop being a form of art and the story of a hustler. This is especially true when considering how Jay-Z defines hip hop, analyzes supporting evidence, and interprets rap lyrics.

In the short play A Raisin in the sun conflict’s both internal and external occure for in three of the main characters regarding their dreams. When the opportunity came for them to accomplish their dreams through using the insurance money they’ve come across from the loss of a family member, one of the main characters, Walter, wishes to be successful in life; but he needs the insurance money to do so. He wants to use the insurance money to open up a liquor store because he believes this would change his life. A exceptional quote that shows his determination to be successful in life is when he speaks to Ruth “You tired, ain’t you? Tired of everything. Me, the boy. The way we live-this beat up hole-everything”(

To begin with Equality believes his eventual assessment of his sins are wrong. He is too tall and too smart. He feels so absolutely terrible about how he looks. He truly believe he is sinning by looking the way he does. He discovers electricity, he wants to tell the Council of Vocations. He is very scared that he is going to get into a lot of trouble and be banished. Equality wants to be a scholar, but he knows that the Council of Vocations will not allow that. Equality states “we know that we are evil, but there is no will in us and no power to resist it.”(Pg. 18) This statement proves that Equality honestly believes he is evil, terrible, and a horrible sinner.

did not find amazing when he started talking about the Candidates who run for the presidency and their speeches. They never talk about the privilege whites have but still do not talk about the minorities who do not have the privilege when it comes to health insurance. We never hear them talking about the millions of African Americans who died because they did not have health insurance. But we do hear that millions of African Americans have killed someone or that they were killed by the police. We do not hear that they are being treated unjustly because 80% of whites believe Blacks are treated equally. It was eye opening when Wise starts talking about the possibility of those million blacks surviving if they lived in a white neighborhood. It's

The president, Barack Obama gave a speech at Howard University commencement ceremony. Speaking to the graduating class about the need to keep pushing for change he gave the students at the historically black university advise on how to shape your own future and to always strike for better. The president argues that the U.S and the world is becoming a better place than when he was a collage student. However, there is still work to be done when it comes to employment, achievements, and justice for African Americans. The president also mentions to be confident in your heritage and to aim for greatness. Also that empathy should be extended to all people who are struggling to achieve success or a goal. Furthermore, the president advised the grad

When comprising an argument, the use of rhetorical strategies is essential to planning out how one presents both the chosen argument and the evidence for their position. To understand these strategies and how they are used allows for a deeper understanding of the argument and invokes critical thinking. For instance, in Journalist Joanmarie Kalter’s piece “Exposing Media Myths: TV doesn’t affect you as much as you think”. The author attempts to convince the reader that the notion, that TV is the number one source of information used today and therefore holds immense sway over the general public, is false. And because of how the rhetorical strategies are used in the article. She manages to get the reader to second guess the notion that TV holds

Great writers appear in many different ways. Some people are great at creative writing, others are good at essays. Some people even get thousands of likes for making simple posts that others find relatable. A gifted bunch of people can write all well. What do these writers all have in common? They all understand how to use rhetoric, the art or skill of speaking or writing formally and effectively especially as a way to persuade or influence people (site). Below, you may see that I am able to understand rhetorical situation and adapt my posts to the environment it is to be viewed in.

In this paper, the author, Olivia Miller, examines how zombie media texts affect presidential rhetoric through analyzing two of Obama’s foreign policy apologia speeches, one at the National Defense University and one at the Justice Department. She mentioned that the zombie narratives such as the Walking Dead and I Zombie have proliferated across media text and this popularity of Zombie text has caused the past decade’s cultural zeitgeist, “a fascination with the zombies that has been acknowledged by scholars as a response to the theorist attacks of 9/11 and a reflection to public uncertainty” (Olivia, 2016). She found a connection between the post-zombie apocalypse narrative, a differently structured narrative with more potential as a metaphor for the current political landscape and new terrorist threats, and Obama’s political efforts. That is, the post-zombie apocalypse narrative couches on surviving rebuilding society, reinstitution morality, and learning to live withe the threat of zombies while striving to regain normalcy. Obama’s speeches convey the similar thoughts that even

According to Marc Goodman, a global strategist, author and consultant, and Vijay Kumar, Nemirovsky Family Dean of Penn Engineering, today’s technologies have a huge influence on our world, which, in turn, becomes very open, and that has implications both bright and dangerous. Nowadays, technologies are developing so fast and it makes our world easier and more comfortable, on one side, but dangerous and threatful, on the other side.

From a young age, children in a first world country are expected to have the ability to read and write. But if you think about this, more than 100 million youths in the world are illiterate (UNESCO). Growing up in a place where pencils and papers are scarce, being able to read and write is a blessing, yet most kids in America just see it as something they’re forced to do in school. Although most children write just for educational purposes, I see writing as something much more. Writing truly allows for a greater emotional output than other types of communication and in my rhetorical self, it is an incredible way to express myself and my thoughts to others.

The first speaker is Steve Jobs and my moment relates to the portion his speech when he says “sometimes life hits you with a brick. Don’t lose faith… don’t settle.” This quote directly relates to the tragic moment in my life when I found out that I was waitlisted from the University of Michigan Engineering school. That entire day after I found out just went downhill and to top it off, I had a track invitational later that day in Ann Arbor, at the University of Michigan. I probably took this event more seriously than most people because I worked so hard in high school with the goal of going to UMich but in the end it didn’t work out and I felt as though the last four years of my life have been wasted. After taking a few days to digest the news, I decided to move on with my life instead of dwelling on my failures. I committed to Michigan State University and I know for a fact I’ll do really well there and I won’t settle for subpar academic performances.

Mass shootings are a common tragedy in the United States, and they have been for years. With school shootings being rather prominent, several persons in the public eye choose to speak out against such behavior. Barack Obama’s speech titled, “Interfaith Prayer Vigil Address at Newtown High School” was delivered in Newtown, Connecticut on December 16, 2012 and addressed the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. He uses modes of emotional appeals, including ethos, pathos, and logos to attain the trust of American citizens; as well as pacify those affected.

No one wants to read a boring paper. It will make people tired within minutes. Most textbooks have no word or images that captivate their readers. That’s why people avoid reading them because there’s nothing fascinating about it. Writing about a topic that has conflict and visual literacy will keep the audience interested and wanting to read more about it. In a rhetorical situation, there are tones used for different types of audience. Rhetoric is used for different communities. It needs to be a reliable in a specific topic in order to communicate effectively.

The suggestion Aristotle makes is that rhetoric “be defined as the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion” (“Rhetoric,” 181). In other words, inventing or discovering what will work correctly in varying circumstances to exert influence. Still, from Aristotle’s view, a successful orator must encapsulate three modes of proof or persuasion to exhibit control and mastery of rhetoric over an audience. “The first kind depends on the personal character of the speaker, the second on putting the audience into a certain frame of mind; the third on the proof, or apparent proof, provided by the words of the speech itself” (Aristotle, “Rhetoric,” 181). Iago, a master in rhetorical tools by all accounts demonstrates his abilities throughout the play and his plan to manipulate his
