The Selection Series: The One

He emphasizes that they are met at “a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live” to show his compassion to those who lost their loved ones as well as to induce empathy among those who did not. He then refers to the men who lost their lives fighting for the belief that all men are created equal and that their sacrifices should not be in vain. President Lincoln then states: “The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.” That sentence expresses compassion to the families of those who died and gives them comfort as the actions of the world will never forget what the brave men did. On the other hand, that statement also conveys the message that actions speak louder than words as the world will not remember what is said, but what is done. The purpose of that message is to inspire the audience to take action in ending the

To begin, he uses emotional appeal to create powerful imagery to persuade the reader that celebrating freedom is wrong when slavery still exists. He announces, “fellow citizens, above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions, whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday, are today rendered more intolerable by the jubilant shouts that reach them” (para. 4). By creating a picture in the audience’s mind of other people’s cries of freedom deriding slaves, they begin to feel ashamed for being so cheerful while African Americans have no liberty.

He mentions that on the table there was “pudding, pyes, and fruit of all kind that was in season…” and “they do not think of locking the doors in this country” to assure his wife of the safety and prosperity of this country. He then goes on to acknowledge, with emotional appeal, that all he “wants now is to see you, and the dear children here, and then I shall be happy, and not before”. This is Downe’s development of pathos for the purpose of persuading and influencing his wife to make her decision much easier about emigrating to America with the children. He hopes to influence her decision by explaining how much better off they would be as a family, together in one country. Although he announces that he will only be happy if his family comes to America to live with him, Downe concludes that he does not “repent of coming” and he “would rather cross the Atlantic ten times than hear my children cry”. By his mentioning that he does not regret one bit coming to America, Downe hopes to display for his wife how great of a country America is. The pathos are purposefully placed there by Downe to show to his wife that although he has left his family, he would do it all over again just to live in the convenient country of America- hoping this will stir some kind of desire in his wife’s mind. Through his emotional words, Downe demonstrates that the travel to America is nothing compared to what this country holds in store for

Coates shows his true emotions and connects with the audience through Pathos. The useage of Pathos is seen throughout the novel regarding the “American Dream” for example when Coates says “ when 8 percent of the world's prisoners are black men, our bodies have refinanced the Dream of being white,”(pg.132) Here Coates is trying to say that because so many black males are in jail, they almost wish they were white

This shows me that it’s really hard to live without someone you’ve loved so much.In the last sentence America realized how much Maxon was hurt because she was

In the extended fourth paragraph, Abigail Adams evokes a sense of care and kind heart ness toward her son in order to remind John Adams about his mission and encourage a sense of nationalism “own your existence among a people who have made a glorious defense” the use of nationalistic emotions drives the last paragraph “... do honor to your country and render your parents supremely happy…” Adams feels a nationalistic duty towards her country and she wants her son to bring honor to the country. Abigail Adams uses an encouragement tone to tell her son that everything happens for a reason so he should try his

One’s individuality and freedom are questioned when it does not conform to society’s ideals. This is often demonstrated in real life, as well as in popular literary pieces.

“America” expresses the speaker 's feelings towards America. The poem 's theme in a broad sense is describing the conflicting feelings of the speaker towards America. Though America is constantly fighting the speaker, he expresses that “I love this cultured hell that tests my youth” (McKay, 928)! This mixture of love, bitterness and hate towards America that is expressed in this line continues to be expressed throughout the poem. According to James Keller the speaker “expresses an admiration that is requited with contempt” (Keller). Though the speaker admits that he

He calls out to the loving, protective parents of America saying that “we can have no joy, knowing that this government is not sufficiently lasting to ensure any thing which we may bequeath to posterity.” (22). He believes that the strife of revolution would bring many years of peace and prosperity for the generations to come and anything otherwise would be “leaving the sword to our children” (26). This use of pathos forced families to be selfless for their children’s sake, to give them a better

Barry Schwartz, the author of “Unnatural Selections,” illustrates with reason, evidence, and a play on emotions how humans are influenced by default choices and the effect they have on an individual’s decision. With the purpose of explaining how influential default choices are, Schwartz validates his opinion with evidence. For example, to demonstrate the difference in organ donation in Europe and America, the author states, “As a 2003 study in the journal Science found, more than 90 percent of the Europeans are organ donors, while only about 25 percent of Americans are - even though most Americans approve of organ donation. ”

The last stanza is where Laviera recognizes this is not where America is currently, “AmeRican, yes, for now, for i love this, my second land, and i dream to take the accent from the altercation, and be proud to call myself american, in the u.s. sense of the word, AmeRícan, America!”. He proclaims that America and it’s people eill to emerge into this great Utopian society. Where he can take the accent of AmeRican and it just me American. “I, Too” also proclaims that one day America will come to except his race and culture. These two texts both hold expectancy and optimism in their cultures future where they will openly love America and American will love them back, “ defining the new america, humane america, admired america, loved america, harmonious america, the world in peace, our energies collectively invested to find other civilizations” (Laviera).
