What Is The Lethal Weapon Rhetorical Techniques

On page 96 of Just Mercy, Stevenson visits Walter’s family after he had been accused of murder. He talks with Minnie, Walter’s wife, who expresses her anger about the trial. In order to sympathize with her, Stevenson uses repetition, using the word “lies” several times during his response. This repetition demonstrates his outrage at the injustice experienced by Walter. He expresses his emotional support for Walter, gaining the trust of his wife as a result.

Maybe this would open the eyes about the war in Iraq, even if you ask people on the street they usually say that the war was wrong. It really surprised me that he won the next election, at maybe he shouldn't have, and he actually cheated like the movie says he does. A lot of these clips that Michael shows in his movie, had been shown in the news and I recognized some of them, and you have to admit that Bushes behavior has been very weird. Even though some people say that this is propaganda, all lies and is stupid just doesn't want to see the facts. A lot of these things are true, and can anyone actually stand up and tell me why a war where hundreds of thousand people have died? Was it to force democracy down on a middle eastern country, how

Barack Obama’s Osama bin Laden is Dead speech was informative, convincing and justifying. He begins with “…The United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden…” to inform his targeted audience and to establish the purpose of the speech. His appeal to the audience through emotions, authority and rationalism impacted their sentiments to convince them of the necessity of the operation because of how it affected their lives. The American citizens and their families distinctively recall the “black smoke billowing…” and the “… Twin Towers collapsing to the ground…” in which gives them justification to the actions of the government. His repetition of “…our country and our friends and our allies… our citizens…” was deliberately

Throughout the book Just Mercy, there are several unjust circumstances, such as imprisonment due to lack or wealth or mental illnesses, which occur within the judicial system that Mr. Stevenson discusses with the reader. The author uses several devices to display the behaviors that occur within the novel, and these devices genuinely help the reader see through Mr. Stevenson's point of view. Bryan leads his audience through the several predicaments he encounters and displays the true faults of the judicial system itself. He walks us through the struggles of individuals such as Trina Garnett, Walter McMillian, and many more. Bryan Stevenson displays the injustices of the judicial system, such as racial bias and child imprisonment without parole,

“Your greatest self has been waiting your whole life; don’t make it wait any longer.”(Maraboli) When you make that decision in your life that you aren’t content with where you are, it finally clicks that you need to get up and make that change in your life. Giving yourself the power to go in any direction and being able to make the decision on how your attitude will affect your day. Knowing your self worth even at the lowest points in life that when you want to be great, you will be. It may not be easy to climb out of your lowest points because you start to make excuses for yourself on why you could never be happy again. Thinking that it just isn’t meant for you to be successful after the depressing times you have been through. Similar to, “Fight Song,” Rachel Platten wrote this song at her worst times in her life, but used it to remind her not to give up, that she believed in herself and still had fight left. The rhetorical devices used in Rachel Patton’s “Fight Song” are intended to reveal to the listener that to empower yourself, the listener needs to make those changes their life for their own happiness.

The death penalty is a topic that has been argued for and against by many people. Some have no qualms with the punishment while others protest it greatly. As such there are three main arguments that are presented by both sides; is the death penalty immoral, does the death penalty deter crime, and should the death penalty ultimately be allowed in the court of law.

A library can be a repository of knowledge or a squirrel’s worst nightmare. With this in mind an angle of vision is being created. An angle of vision is not simply written, it is carefully and deliberately constructed through the proper use of five rhetorical strategies. Word Choice, Sentence Structure, Overt Statements, Figurative Language, and Selection and Omission of Details are the strategies used by writers to create the angle of vision. To understand these strategies I have written two paragraphs that are similar in description yet carry vastly different angles of vision.

Rhetorical strategies are techniques writers use for a particular effect. In previous classes, you might have been introduced to them as “literary devices” – others will be completely new to you. When thinking of language choices that we make when writing or speaking, think of it like this -- everyone draws from a “toolbox” of rhetorical strategies as they express ideas and evoke responses in their readers. The more “tricks” of language that you know, the more effectively you can say what you want in the most effective way.

"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?

Truman Capote used many rhetorical elements like foreshadowing,flashbacks and inner or internal discourse to effectively keep the readers engaged and reveal the disposition of each character. One way Capote used internal discourse to give readers a perspective and understanding of Dick and Perry, was when the funeral for the Clutters took place. While on the run Perry was reading the Kansas Star Paper and giving his thoughts about the funeral. Perry said, “a thousand people, he wondered how much the funeral had cost” (96). Even Though that was just one small part of what was going through Perry’s mind ,Capote used that piece to make the readers feel like Perry himself told them what was going through his mind at the time. By adding that small insight on Perry’s mindset after the crime, it get’s the readers to think like why is he thinking about the amount of people at the funeral service than what hen did to the Clutters. Therefore that keeps the readers engaged and sets up Capote’s other rhetorical element foreshadowing.

S.L.O.: Determine and use effective approaches and rhetorical strategies for given reading and writing situations.

In the speech "Black Hawk's surrender speech, 1832", it is explained how Black Hawk fought to defend his people. Black Hawk was captured and made prisoner; the white men Black Hawk was captured by used guns instead of Indian fighting. The white men were in advantage by using guns against them. Black Hawk explains his situation by using rhetorical devices such as atmosphere, analogy, and antecedent.

Has it ever occurred to you that this generation tries to search for the next best thing? Is it like a business man try to look for the next best thing that everyone is buying? I mean if other people do it and there perfectly fine doing it we assume that we could do it and we think we will be just fine as well. Take those examples and try to use it with music. Do you think that what we listen to can affect us in any way or not? Maybe and maybe not, but some of us tend to get influenced by what they put into their heads. Not everything that we see or do can import negative thought or feelings, but listening is a part of that category as well. Therefore, what these artists are trying to do is trying to use a rhetorical device to tell us that

Throughout this semester I’ve been able to grow as a writer, I’ve come to understand how rhetorical strategies come into contribution when it comes to expressing yourself as a writer. One thing that has come perfectly clear to me is that there is different forms of writing and each form can express and show different meanings.

The dialogue puts comedy in the mouths of killers and other moral degenerates. The dialogue was also somewhat misleading because it never really revealed the narrative of the movie. For example when the two hitmen drive to their first assignment, they casually talk about McDonalds, they never really mentioned who they are killing and why they are killing them. We see that in so many scenes which makes the movie even more fascinating because it draws your attention to figure out the reasons of why things go that way but we never really get answers.
