In the story Thank you, M’am by Langston Hughes, After Mrs. Jones brings Rogers in her house, she treats Rogers as if she was related to him. In paragraph 30 the author writes, “Then we’ll eat,” said the woman, “I believe you’re hungry—or been hungry—to try to snatch my pocket book.” This quote supports the claim because Mrs. Jones gave a boy she just met some food for free which a relative would for you. It also supports the claim because if she wouldn’t act like she was here relative, she wouldn’t give him free food. Another piece of evidence is in paragraph 22, the author writes, “When she got to her door, she dragged the boy inside, down a hall, and into a large kitchenette-furnished room at the rear of the house. This quote supports the
I enjoyed Anri Sala’s “Answer Me” at the New Museum. The art Sala created was able to use visual and sound as a way to relate to one another. Based on what I know of the time Sala is showing, many people died and there was change happening. Like Irene. I did find myself looking for wall text or explanation other than on the second floor. Some art pieces were striking, while some left me wondering what was the meaning behind it.

A person’s heart speaks values to intervene to them as

Technology of the past was welcomed with open arms due to the fact that a majority of the time it helped solve problems plaguing us such as providing us with medical cures or developing machines that are able to prepare a warm meal quicker. However, with such problems solved, a lot of technology today is centered around keeping our population with longer life expectancies entertained, especially with one major creation that has shifted the way that we live--the Internet.
Although Clive says that employees at Lifeline can never be sure if their call saves someone, Peter Ho Davies, author of “I Don’t Know, What Do You Think?” implies that Clive has the opportunity to save Mary from killing herself. However, he does not utilize this opportunity, and Mary commits suicide. The author indicates that Clive could have saved Mary's life if he disregarded his detached approach to issues established within him by the death of his child, his wife's discouragement, and the Lifeline procedures. Clive never confronts his feelings about Carol’s death, which suggests that he is incapable of managing grief. When Helen finds Clive crying over Mary’s death, he tells her that he is crying for Carol, and Helen says, “at last,” (Davies
Throughout the article “This Is What I Do,” the author Professor David Chioni Moore explains and evaluates the state of jazz and jazz criticism. Moore argues that although jazz experts use recordings to analyze so-called “works of art,” these recordings are not true representations of the artistic value of jazz music. He then explains that the only way to fully experience jazz in its most artistic form is through live performances.

In my “This I Believe” essay about stress I tried to use a combination of ethos and pathos as a way to appeal to my audience which happens to be college students Regarding ethos I used this rhetoric because anyone with morals will feel some sort of sympathy for someone who feeling is stressed or depressed therefore evoking emotion out of the audience. Not only that but I tried to promote positivity within my essay because only talking about the negative effects of stress would be counterproductive to the essay itself since it isn’t supposed to be preachy or negative so therefore I tried to incorporate some things that my audience could use to overcome stress such as going to counselors,friends,families, and their fraternity or sorority by

In Langston Hughes short story “Thank You Ma’am” he uses different themes throughout the story. There is kindness, love, and trust, which is very ironic considering that young boy Roger did try to steal Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones purse at the beginning of this story. Even though he was trying to steal from her, she never called the police and she never judged him because no one should ever judge a book by its cover.
