In Norman Mailer’s “The Death of Benny Paret”, the author witnesses a first-hand account of the tragic death of the boxer, Paret. Through many rhetorical devices, Mailer is able to have an effect on his audience, allowing them to feel the same horror. Mailer uses diction to mold the events in a

Teaching From A Design Perspective Developing a philosophy of education is more than asserting a love of wisdom in the theory and practice of teaching. It may be heartening to feel, but it lacks backbone. For a philosophy to have weight and merit, it needs truth, logical strength, and soundness. (Hughes 19) My philosophy of education asserts the following premises that if we teach: learning as relational; creativity as skill; and knowledge as design; then, we create an instructional approach that

HsÜn Tzu’s essay explains to readers that “learning is fundamentally moral because it trains us to know the truth and to restrict the kind of behavior that is typical of ignorant people” (552).

In Barbara Jordan’s Becoming Educated she uses rhetorical strategies to do just that. Jordan uses repetition and diction to increase her effectiveness of her message. She does so that the reader can also relate to what she is going through. By using repletion and diction she weaves these rhetorical devices throughout her experience to increase its effectiveness to convey her voice and

Poetry Analysis of Maya Angelou’s “Still I Rise” Maya Angelou’s poem “Still I Rise” was published in 1978 at one of the most productive and successful periods of Angelou’s career. “Still I Rise” tells about bouncing back and rising up past oppression and hate.

helpful in relieving our mind, but it does not ultimately provide us with the course of action that we need in order to get there. If moral philosophy cannot provide an algorithm for life's problems, then we might think that it should be purely descriptive. However, a complete description of every possible moral problem, or its solution, is not possible.
