War Rhetorical Analysis

The advertisement by WWF uses rhetorical strategies such as an establishment of ethos, and an appeal to logos and pathos. WWF establishes ethos by being a world wildlife program who “is at work in more than 40 countries...and collaborating with governments and coastal communities,” which demonstrates their credibility. They appeal to logos by offering statistics such as that “ten million people in sub-Saharan Africa make a living fishing,” and that the “number of fish in their waters has declined by 50 percent.” By offering these concrete numbers and statistics, WWF establishes a logical advertisement. Pathos is appealed by this advertisement by including phrases such as “Protecting the Future of Nature”, “protect marine populations,” and “ensure

The article “The Veterans Are Coming! The Veterans Are Coming!” was posted in September 2008 on insidehighered.com by Edward F. Palm. In this article I can identify a bit of logos, but Palm uses a majority of ethos and pathos. I found a large amount of ethos in the foreword because the information talks about Palm and his experiences, which gives him immense credibility. Palm served with the U.S. Marines in the Vietnam War. He used to be a dean for social sciences and humanities at Olympic College and now he is a full-time online teacher for Strayer University. Palm is reliable to give advice on how to treat veterans on college campuses and help them be successful students because of his own experiences with administration and returning to school as a veteran. Palm even points out that he knows what he is

“Alright pal, you got me,” beamed Finny. Phineas, the only perfect person in the world (hyperbole), just admitted that I had beaten him at something. Once this realization hit me, a moment of pure joy sunk in, until it quickly passed and was followed by an overwhelming sense of disappointment. It wasn’t enough. Without further thought, I quickly flipped Finny, who was caught off guard by his euphoric state, over and pinned him to the ground (parallel structure). To my surprise, after the initial shock left his expression, he began to laugh. Finny had finally been beaten at something athletic, and all he could do was laugh.

C3. A quotation that stands out to me in All Quiet on the Western Front is, “But on the last day astonishing number of English heavies opened up on us with high-explosive drumming ceaselessly on our position, so that we suffered severely and came back only eighty strong” (14). This quote is significant because it suggests that more than half of the Second Company has been killed. Paul Bäumer’s tone suggests that various deaths are something

“Yesterday, December 7th, 1941’” began President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the day following Japan’s fateful attack on Pearl Harbor, resulting in the in the tragic loss of nearly two and a half thousand American lives. A date so famously proclaimed to ‘forever live in infamy,’ and so it has. This inspiring speech to Congress and the American people employed appeals and other techniques in it’s mission to touch America’s heart, both with sympathy and indignation. President Roosevelt’s use of rhetoric is extremely effective in rallying the American people to the cause of entering a war so many were reluctant to support.

In the incredible book, All Quiet on the Western Front written by Erich Maria Remarque, the reader follows Paul Baumer, a young man who enlisted in the war. The reader goes on a journey and watches Paul and his comrades face the sheer brutality of war. In this novel, the author tries to convey the fact that war should not be glorified. Through bombardment, gunfire, and the gruesome images painted by the author, one can really understand what it would have been like to serve on the front lines in the Great War. The sheer brutality of the war can be portrayed through literary devices such as personification, similes, and metaphors.

e majority of the marriages in Afghanistan are still being forced till this day which sorrowful in my opinion. I don't think honor killings should occur in any country. I can’t believe the victim that is raped has to go to jail for something that she doesn't control. I found that very unfair and horrible to imagine. Afghanistan, in general, doesn't view women as actual women because it shows that they can take advantage of any female and the victim will get punished for it. It breaks my heart knowing that women are being treated so bad especially I was raised by women, so I tend to have a lot of emotions when it comes to women's rights which are being violated on a vast scale throughout the book. However, Azita came across and was one of the few women who was very brave of her because, In Afghanistan, a culture ruled almost entirely by men, so it's difficult for women to have a voice for

During both of the World Wars, the United States was short on money and supplies for the soldiers overseas, so they made posters to gain support from the people still at home. The posters showcased government bonds that Americans could buy that were essentially loans to the United States government. In order to get people to spend the small amounts of money they had, the posters used emotions and tone to persuade the American citizens to buy the bonds. The term used for the emotional looking pictures to showcase the author’s message is pathos. Many of the posters used during the wars used pathos to get their message across.

In the article “War Against Boys?”, I noticed two common and reappearing rhetorical appeals, pathos and logos. The reason I chose both of these appeals is because of how Michael Kimmel thinks about how gender inequality affects boys and how this is affecting boys education in lower and higher institutions. Pathos played a huge part in this essay because of the emotional and mental impact on boys through discrimination from the school system. One example of pathos being shown is when feminism was mentioned pathologizing boyhood making boys think what is normal , another way pathos was being shown is when gender stereotyping was stated to be hurting both girls and boys (Michael 522-523). Like pathos, logos was also seen throughout the article as well. The first logos that was shown was when statistician Tom Mortensen stated that “ the graduation line 2068 will be all females”(Michael 522). Another example of logos was the statistics of gender imbalance throughout the higher educational system.

"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?

Paul uses many tactics throughout his imprisonment in order to keep some control over his and Annie's alliance. One effective method he uses is flattery, complimenting Annie in order to keep her happy and her mood stable. His use of this move is demonstrated on page 60 in the novel, when he calls Annie his favorite nurse. He uses it again on page 107, telling Annie that she could not be old enough to remember the chapter plays, hinting at how she looks way younger than she actually is. Paul uses this strategy to lighten Annie's mood and keep her happy, which is vital to him because Annie can become very destructive and impatient when angry, consequently being the main source of Paul's pain throughout the book. In addition to flattery, Paul

Furthermore, Lincoln used appeal to emotion as a way to reach out to his audience and unify the country once again. He stated, “The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether” to support the victory of the Union. This pleased Northerners because it justified the reasons of entering the war and made it that slavery was immoral and against the will of the lord. Anyone with opposing believes was left to deal with lingering doubts in their consciences. Douglass’ tone was also very criticizing and even vulgar at times. In spite of this, his tone worked to his advantage and served as a call to action for the North for help in the pre-Civil War era. Douglass’ tone caused his audience to question their beliefs and consider Douglass’ standpoint

The world is a dangerous place to be but is also the only way to live. With the nuclear bombs being made since 1863 the world is a bomb zone. Does this world feel safe with all the bombs in the world at a fingertip of one person per country? Every bomb is controlled by their own button. In Carl Sagan’s speech about “On Nuclear Disarmament” he explains how the world has not been safer since the first nuclear bomb has been used in 1863.

Rhetoric involves the scrutiny of the way an author, speaker, or artist utilizes language or words to sway the target audience. Rhetorical analysis thereby denotes a criticism or essay that breaks the non-fictional works into subsections, hence elaborating how every section works in association with other parts to introduce certain effects, such as information, entertainment, and persuasion of the intended audience. In common instances, the scrutiny also deliberates on every involved rhetorical situation or circumstance, on the basis of context, purpose, as well as the audience. One can conduct a rhetorical analysis of various literary works including journals, books, plays, cartoons, adverts, or any other oral performance like speech. One of the most popular and interesting play that has been read and used widely in different learning institutions for literature studies is An Enemy of the People. In this piece, the author, Henrik Ibsen, portrays the major character, Doctor Stockmann, as an enemy of everyone. However, despite being branded as the enemy of the people, Doctor Stockmann has been used to expose the rots happening within town municipality in Norway. Indeed, Doctor Stockmann is not an enemy of the people as portrayed in the play, but the ‘savior’ of the Norwegian township.

The article was written by a critical writer published by the Onion. The critic’s purpose through his piece of writing was he denounce the people about not understanding what was happening during the Cola War. And how they lacked the attention of understanding the situations that were around them and just putting their attention to a beverage. The critic’s adapts to evoke pathos and logic to connect with the people that were living during the Cola War to comprehend the situations such as the tension among other countries and connect with the reader about the war taking place. Therefore, the critic uses satire throughout the whole article to indicate his claims with strong opposing vocabulary and poke fun at the situation, but still revealing the main ideas through the article about the Coke and Pepsi dispute.
