Tom Clancy's The Division Rhetorical Analysis

In 1944, the United States war effort in Europe was just starting to pick up. Even though the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor occurred just three years prior, the growing power of the Third Reich could not be ignored. During this time, France was already occupied by Nazi Germany and Hitler's war machine was on the path of conquering all of Eurasia. In an attempt to combat this immense threat, the U.S. formulated a plan to engage the German forces through an invasion of Normandy. This bloody offensive would be remembered in infamy as D-Day. Shortly before this violent clash of U.S. and German forces, the inexperienced men of the United States Third Army was given an encouraging and inspiring speech by the four star general George S. Patton.

Have you ever wondered how advertisers come up with trailers or commercials? Or if there is a formula or specific ingredients for which advertisers make their advertisements? I am here to tell you that there is a formula and there are key ingredients to make an effective trailer or commercial. In the world of commerce professional advertisers use rhetorical devices as their ingredients to cook the best trailer that will attract customers to buy many things. The most common forms of rhetorical devices are pathos, ethos, and logos, these devices make a statement more persuasive but what separates a good advertiser from a great one is the way that they use these devices. Advertisers are experts in using these devices in combination; and the only way to know how to combine them is by studying your audience. Video game advertisers have specific ways to persuade their audience to buy a game. Today I will be studying this pattern in a video game trailer of “The Last of us” by Hydrawlik. I will analyze the combination of rhetorical devices that are used in the trailer and evaluate their effectiveness. This video game trailer uses these rhetorical devices effectively to attract the audience’s attention in order to lure customers to buy the product.

Passion is a necessary trait all excellent speakers use to persuade their audiences. A passionate speaker uses pathos to sway his or her audience to the speaker’s side by playing with the audience’s emotions. Before pathos is used to move the audience emotionally, it is smart for the speaker to use ethos to build good credibility. With credibility, the speaker has the ability to make the audience trust him or her. That trust is beneficial to help the audience believe what the speaker is saying. Logos is another trait that a strong speaker must make use of to show intellect. It is the appeal to logic. Logic is needed to show the audience that the speaker knows his or her facts and can effectively back them up. Ethos, pathos, and logos are three vital aspects of a good speech. Elizabeth I uses all three appeals subtly throughout her speech, using pathos the most. The queen also uses rhetorical devices to emphasize her points. Through the use of amplification, asyndeton, and climax, Elizabeth I reassures and inspires her troops with her compelling speech.

Vonnegut is very keen to express his choice of words throughout the novel, Slaughterhouse-Five. The phrase that is mentioned the most is “so it goes”. This phrase is mentioned over a hundred times at full length of the novel. At every time someone dies in the novel or a tragedy happens Vonnegut ends the passage with “so it goes”. Because the main focus of the novel is on the bombing of Dresden, Vonnegut is making a point that the war is awful but inevitable. He uses repetition to promote how common and cruel war and death is, in the big scheme of things. An observation done by Allen says “The plain old death will be there anyways. It leads us to the idea that, given that we all must die anyway, often cruelly or prematurely. The commonness

Chapter 10 is called “The Leech and His Patient.” This title is a perfect symbol for what happens in the chapter. Roger Chillingsworth continues to work on his patient, Dimmesdale, to try to figure out what is wrong with him. At the same time though Chillingsworth, the leech, is growing obsessed with his patient. Chillingworth has connected Dimmesdale's spiritual sickness to his physical sickness. At the end of the chapter, he finds something on Dimmesdale’s chest while he is sleeping, which he is overjoyed by. This mark is a permanent mark, Dimmesdale’s own scarlet letter, except it is part of his skin, not a detachable letter. While leech can be used to represent physicians as physicians commonly used leeches, the idea of the leech

The Haymarket bombing was directly caused by strife between the working class and employers. August Spies was one of the anarchists who called the meeting. In a pamphlet he disseminated around chicago to gather labor advocates, he wrote inflammatory statements such as “Your masters sent out their bloodhounds—the police—they killed six of your brothers at McCormick's this afternoon. They killed the poor wretches, because they, like you, had courage to disobey the supreme will of your bosses.” (Spies) This rhetoric shows how the anarchist movement was in direct response to perceived tyranny on the part of employers and the backlash towards this perceived tyranny was what drove the movement. Furthermore, Spies proclaims in the pamphlet “To arms,

In What It Is Like To Go To War, Karl Marlantes writes about a multitude of issues that war veterans have to deal with after coming back from war and uses the rhetorical appeals of ethos logos and pathos to try and build common ground with the audience. The opening pages to “Loyalty” are not written in the viewpoint of Marlantes being in the Vietnam War, providing where and what Marlantes was loyal to and how he viewed loyalty as, this is ineffective method t build common ground with me because I have never experienced any violent scenario let alone war; Marlantes heartache after leaving Meg behind to show how painful it was for both of these young lovers shows a strong use of pathos because everyone can relate to heartache, romantic or not, to the other rhetorical

I choose the first image as I believe it implies a stream of emotional values between a physically damaged child and a soldier spiritually broken because of the crushing scene. The pathos conveyed in the picture mixes the tragedy of war, the awfulness of tearing families, and the destruction of civilization. The fighter was holding the child as a mother holding her baby, the warrior forgot the mission he was sent to do and found himself a caring human for the innocent people. The man closed his eyes as a sign of misery and sorrow, hugged the child trying to give him/her love, care, warmth, and safety. I suppose that the man was thinking about how this baby could be his son, daughter, family, or himself and how lack of luck, the unfair life
