Rhetorical Analysis: Jim Jones “Death Tape” One of the most significant artifacts from The Peoples Temple is known as the “Death Tape” because it is the last audio recording of Jim Jones, which was recovered after the mass suicide of he and his followers. That day Jim Jones effectively persuaded more than 900 of his followers to commit mass suicide by reestablishing his strong credibility, using persuasive tactics of love and fear, and by convincing them that suicide is the rational way and the

Allie and Noah, played by well-known actors Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling, were two people from different social classes. Allie was from a wealthy, privileged upper-class family while Noah was making around 40 cents an hour at a lumber yard job. While love is not confined to the amount of money that each person has

The Peoples’ Temple religious movement was one of the many going

The air, heavy with the morning fog, parts around the three figures like still water around a hull. Crunching rocks and barnacles under boots disrupt the thick silence of the morning, the sharp sound abrasive against the calm lapping of the waves. The woman crouches down pointing at limpet tucked into a crevice between two barnacle blanketed rocks, wet with morning dew but the children are already enraptured with a different creature. Peacefully undulating in a tide pool, the sea anemone’s bright

The covenant Elie and his father shared throughout this story was something special. Much like God and Abrahams covenant, Elie and his father vowed to keep each other safe even when that meant putting their lives on the line for each other. Elie did everything in his power to keep his father alive as long as he could. Some of the prisoners viewed all this ongoing struggle as a sort of a test. Many kept preaching that this was a test given by God that they had to go through in order to make it to
