Ww2 Rhetorical Analysis

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

Famous philanthropist Stephen Hawking once stated, “We are all different. There is no such thing as a standard or run-of-the-mill human being, but we share the same human spirit.” In the world of George Orwell’s 1984, this shared human spirit is abused, neglected, and utterly destroyed. This is most apparent when O’Brien deconstructs the argument of Winston and, in turn, tears down his human spirit. While Winston clings to a persistent hope of the failure of The Party, O’Brien uses logos and pathos strategies to methodically tear apart this belief. This maniacal argument for The Party, the strong imagery involved in the interrogation, and the mental collapse of Winston produce one of the most thought-provoking, saddening, and terrifying scenes in 1984.

n this excerpt of 1984 written by George Orwell (1948), Orwell describes about the forced indifferent emotions of Winston Smith after he was mentally tortured by the betrayal of Julia. Orwell builds his argument by initially using euphemism, and then describes how Winston festers, in a chronological pattern. He uses superfluous diction to support his main claim- how the argument between Julia and Winston contributed to Winston’s current emotional state. From his choice of diction, he seems to target people who are interested in History and old Literature.

“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.

In the essay An Unwinnable War by Robert K. Brigham, he used a different point of view to analyze the U.S. military and how they lost in Vietnam. He also examines three different strategies that were brought up time and time again that could have possibly won the war. Brigham explains to us how he thinks none of these strategies would have gained a victory for the U.S. because they did not fully understand the structure of South Vietnam and the government itself. The first suggested strategy is the invasion of North Vietnam, just above the demilitarized zone at the 17th parallel. What Brigham is saying is that these leaders who supported a strategy like this were overlooking certain aspects such as the threat of China, who was possibly looking

Week three’s devotional really touched me. Many people think they can do everything on their own, that they do not need God in their life. I feel that we all need God to help us get through the challenges in our lives, so we can grow and learn from those challenges. John 14:26 says, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you” (NASB). John 14:26 supports my feelings when it comes to needing God, as He will teach us.

Former Commander in Chief and President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in his speech, “Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation,” discloses the details of Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt’s purpose is to notify the nation about Japan’s aggressive naval actions and to petition Congress to declare war on Japan. He adopts a somber yet patriotic and confident tone in order to rally the citizens and members of Congress behind his proposal for war.

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.

Imagery: The author uses imagery to describe the Russian prisoners’ lives in the camps. This imagery makes them look pathetic and frail, causing the reader to feel empathetic and sorry for them. Also we see the same idea of imagery within the hospitals and what happens in them. The description of gore and fear emphasizes the theme of death

Often times writings with the general theme of war and battle juxtapose the symbol of nature with brutal events in order to create contrast between. In All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich M. Remarque, the author uses the method of juxtaposition to convey the contrast of beautiful nature to war and potentially emphasizing the brutality of battle. Away from combat, down-time is given to the men fighting, where things are peaceful and no longer chaotic. As they are relaxing, their surroundings are described as a “flowery meadow” with “white butterflies...in the soft warm wind” which symbolizes peace or happiness. (Remarque 9). Although the men are experiencing a time and setting of tranquility, death is also occurring near them, ultimately

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

On November 13, 2015, terror filled the streets of France as ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) carried out a series of attacks on the French capital, Paris. Days later France declared war on ISIS and pleaded for support from its western allies, including the U.S. (United States), for support against fighting ISIS. Almost 14 years earlier, in the year 2002, the U.S. was in the same predicament; a year before 2002, the U.S. was attacked by Al-Qaeda, a terror organization. Later in 2002, the Bush administration had to decide whether to invade Iraq and use military force to displace the murderous dictator, Saddam Hussein. Hussein had known relationships with

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.

Mein Kampf, a book, which in the eyes of many adults, elders and adolescents who I have observed around me, is a novel replete with hate and inhumane ideas. "It spread disrespect and segregation amongst the population, during the Second World War." they claim. "This kind of writing should have been forbidden by law", I have heard many adults say. After the war, in 1945, this book that brought war upon the globe, has retired from being published and sold in stores all across Germany. This practice had been reconsidered, though, in January 2016. According to ‘Mein Kampf,’ Hitler’s Manifesto, Returns to German Shelves, published on January 8th, 2016 in The New York Times, a new annotated version of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf has begun to fill book stores in Germany. Many german intellectuals believe that this event will not affect the perception of the citizen towards the groups targeted in this novel. However, many jewish organizations like the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany are against the release of Adolf Hitler's controversial work.
