Using Rhetoric Rather Than A Physical Game

"The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell is a thrilling short story written about two men and their struggle to beat each other in a hunting game. The men appear to be civilized, but the question is whether the men are truly civilized. What evidence could prove if the men are civilized? As the story continues, the characters build up on their known traits and they show their true colors. Are the two men, General Zaroff<Spelling errors> and Sanger<Spelling errors> Rainsford, civilized men?

The final product was an enlarged chess board with each piece representing a character and their status in the play. My group did move the chess pieces to represent the character's actions in the play. We did add some island aspects by adding a boat, a tan blanket to represent sand, and a cave. My group and I did not represent a tree or fire because we ended up believing that was unnecessary to add to our final project.

“Rainsford heard a sound. It came out of the darkness, a high screaming sound, the sound of an animal in an extremity of anguish and terror” (16). In the shocking short story “The Most Dangerous Game” created by Richard Connell, tension and terror is manufactured in the eyes of the reader. In the chilling story of a hunter and a huntee, the author subjects the audience to Rainsford’s grief and agony of the hunt. Combining suspenseful foreshadowing and vivid imagery, the writer produces apprehension and fashions shock in the eyes of the reader.

When determining what I should cover for the annotated bibliography, I knew I wanted to cover rhetoric with the political and public affairs arena. The ability to persuade the masses is truly an art itself. Because the political and public affairs arena is so broad, I narrowed my research down to reading and researching about the president’s rhetoric when campaigning, governing the public, and convincing the other branches of government. The power of rhetoric and the effective usage of it play a vital role in winning the elections, building a level of trust with the public, engaging in good public policies, and delivering on promises. It results from the candidate’s ability to know what to say, how to say it, when to say it, where to say it, and understanding the political environment of the time.

Many authors have found that persuading an audience is sometimes the easiest way to grasp the attention of many and do so by using logos, pathos and ethos techniques. Sometimes misleading and based around personal opinions, understanding the initial reasons for using these strategies can explain why they are used. Based on my research these rhetorical strategies can be found throughout all three videos provided. The first two videos titled “Drunk History - Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks” and “Drunk History - John Adams vs. Thomas Jefferson” showed the least amount of these strategies, while the last video “Breaking News: Some Bullshit Happening Somewhere” provides the best demonstration of the use of rhetoric.

The author uses two intricate rhetorical strategies in this passage such as anecdotes and similes. The author carefully explains how the two sons in the story go to war and then come back with post traumatic stress disorder, abusing drugs and alcohol, explains how they suffered extreme jitters, and how they couldn’t sleep. The author’s purpose was to show the reader how hard it can be to go to war and that the government is not doing enough to put an end to the one million new veterans that may take their own lives.

"You don 't get the chance to make America great by getting rid of everything that made America great,” Stated by Hillary Clinton during her campaign rally in St. Louis, Missouri to attack candidate Donald Trump from his previous diverse rhetoric. Political Rhetoric has been very popular in today’s society. Politics use this as a platform to criticize other candidates about important points that are essential to the United States and its citizens. Not only does others believe that political rhetoric is out of control but it is a negative form of art. During election time, the media and the internet are critical for candidates because it gives them easy access to the younger audience. Although social media is enormous in today’s society, this is the best way for young voters to make their voices heard. Scott Keeter a research analyst and exit poll analyst for NBS News stated that “Young voters have given the Democratic Party a majority of their votes, and for all three cycles they have been the party’s most supportive age group” (Keeter, 1). According to U.S. Census Bureau over the course of time the rate of younger voters “Dropped from 50.9% percent in 1964 to 38.0 percent in 2012” (U.S. Census Bureau, 2).However, the media continue to evolve with modern society. I believe that rhetoric such as visual political rhetoric helps the youth to get more involved with the political arguments while being educated and entertained at the same time.

With the constant changes and developments in the workforce, people need to enhance their career roles. The University of Phoenix uses that fact to persuade people to enroll in classes. They use ads and phrases that make you reevaluate your current situation.

Rhetoric has value and should be taught in schools because students can be prepared for the future by understanding the difference between an argument and a fight and use rhetoric to their advantage to achieve success in life.

Moreover, how you understood my essay was good. The context I wanted to tell is all there. The thing I want to suggest you is that if you write a rhetorical strategy, you have to explain it briefly with your own words. and while reading, what I thought and wanted to suggest you was, if you related your experience with what I have said, it would be a better essay.

As we read this passage it is full of different rhetorical strategies and the reason they were put in there. The writer’s style is the way he uses his language and the rhetorical strategies that he might use to enhance his writing. As I read the passage I came across syntax which is the war he puts his words to send the reader a message, and ad hominem arguing his point against the person instead of the argument. The rhetorical used in the reading is used cleverly enough to prove a point.

The following is a rhetorical evaluation of the Public Relations tactics employed by Paul Frank Industries after the fall out of a media relations event that showcased Native American heritage in a way that was perceived as offensive to the Native American culture. Ethics should be at the heart of all PR programs and should lend itself to foster both trust and loyalty with an organizations stakeholders and publics. Frank Industries reacted calmly, employed best practices, and secured better relations with the Native American publics, however, the following will demonstrate where they missed it and how they can improve programs in the future.

Although you try to make games you need to fix them. The soccer game needs a reset button that actually resets. The concentration game needs to be fixed so every single card matches so there is no cards left out. The dice game shouldn’t have unlimited turns till they make a word, they should just have 2 turns. Add a prefix or suffix that goes with almost everything. The Snake game needs to be a whole lot challenging by adding more “go back # spaces” and one

Rhetoric, depending on the subject being talked about the audience you are reaching, can have a negative and positive affect. I would never give a speech on the effects of drugs to children, as they have no idea what drugs are to the extent that I would talk about. But it could be a very positive speech for parents as to what they need to watch for in the teen’s behaviors. The main awareness of rhetoric is to introduce a point and come to a conclusion.

Thinking back to the game I recall the purpose of the game stated in the beginning as well as how the weather would change and the location would look spot on. I think since I’m not a heavy gamer I paid more attention to the design aspect and layout of the game rather than the quality and story which could’ve gave them a different viewpoint which isn’t always bad. Although my degree isn’t in gaming this made me think about how my future designs need to have memorable aspects as well as good background music since it makes a big difference in the user experience. The game testing got me interested in creating interactive designs since I think it would be a unique experience to see how people react to my
