    e criticize it because it demeans the "black experience" by making the oppression of slavery, which is too horrible for humor, appear funny.1 However, many critics have said that Miss Pat would be a lot funnier if she didn't appear right after the gruesome slide show portraying the horrors of slavery.2 Specifically, this scene uses the alienation techniques of time jumping and directly addressing the audience as slaves. Besides providing a powerful introduction, the ride on the slave ship takes the audience through a very brief overview of black American history. There is a heavy importance that goes along with this review because while not everyone will understand all of the references, it creates a historical atmosphere with the entertainment…

    Hillary and Trump both had very persuasive speeches, they both used the three appeals very differently, like Hillary used the emotional appeal more and Trump used the logical and the ethical appeal more.

They both made an a point to at least try and use all three rhetorical appeals to be the most persuasive they can be, but in the end, its up to what people in America see fit. Its up to the Americans to go over everything the candidate believes in and what they say in these speeches to decide who would be the better president.

    In the New York Times, “Feminism, Hell and Hilary Clinton”, by Frank Bruni discusses how ridiculous the mentality is that if you are a woman you need to vote for Hilary Clinton. He briefly discusses some statements that were made by some very influential women, Madeline Albright and Gloria Steinem. Bruni seems to almost mock their opinions that “women are more or less damned if they’re not on Hilary Clinton’s team”. Bruni makes it known that he doesn’t disagree with these statements because he doesn’t like Hilary Clinton based on her gender, but more so on her policies. Bruni is able to use some aspects of ethos and logos in this op-ed, and his relaxed tone throughout makes his writing not only easy to read, but easy to agree with; this all…
