Leaders of countries or Princes must make decisions that not many will agree with, but are the best for the populace and he must make them, no matter the cost. Niccolo Machiavelli uses logos, ethos and distinct clear diction to prove the necessity for a ruler to be able to make unpopular decisions, in an excerpt from his book “the Prince” (1532).…

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…

Recognizing that the opponent’s view may be right in certain circumstances is a key thing when arguing under the Rogerian method, as it shows that both sides can be reasoned with. Jane Willy does this when she acknowledges that these nicknames and mascots hold a potential harm. She admits that there is “considerable merit to the argument that some names can be hurtful,” and if came to a consensus of their damage, they should be eliminated just as U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has requested (Willy, 2008). The author states that she believes anyone that feels offended by the names should be listened to. She also believes that foreigners should not decide for them that “they shouldn’t be offended, and that they are too thin-skinned, too eager…

Metaphors are an important ingredient to speech and argument. It is used to show comparison between two things, a way to create new meaning. Niccolò Machiavelli in his book The Prince discuss of social and political along with his creative usage of metaphors. His ideas consist of Medicine, the Fox and the Lion, as well as The Archer. These are the metaphors that I will be discussing as we go in more debt about Machiavelli and James Kastely thoughts of argument. Machiavelli on the other hand may have used these metaphors as arguments. He does not imply it directly, but his twist and turns of his writing may be comparable to Kastely arguments about "rendering the indeterminate determinate" but not quite so with the…
In America, there used to be unfair laws and regulations regarding labor. Children are put to work in harsh conditions, conditions often deemed difficult even for adults, and are forced to work ridiculous hours. Florence Kelley gave a speech at the National American Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia on July 22, 1905. In her speech, Kelley uses repetition, pathos, imagery, logos, and carefully placed diction to express how child labor is morally wrong and inhumane.…
Thank you for your post, it was a crisp and clear read. I felt so many emotions in this film. How did you feel about Albert, "Bertie?" He was almost like this lost little boy. He needed much help and was too stubborn at times to fully receive it. This seeded an emotional, and psychological feeling of unworthiness, especially for a royal. The subplots I agree were countless.…
Jane is viewed as the stereotypical victim to male dominance. Jane’s step-father often used to “run around to goddam house, naked. With Jane around and all” (Salinger 32). The author implies that Jane has been molested by her step-father, causing her to lose her innocence.…
While Jane takes her journey to become an adult she is taught the negatives and positives from two pacific women on how she should behave in this world. Blanche Ingrid, only wanted to marry Mr. Rochester for his wealthy money. She had despised Jane very much. She had taught Jane the negatives of marrying someone wealthy, and not for love. She was a negative person in Janes life that effected Janes education. Jane learned from Blanche that it doesn’t matter if they’re rich or poor as long as you love them and are happy with them, then, that’s all that matters to be with someone that you love and you’ll be happy. Eliza Reed was also another woman in Janes life that teaches Jane positives. Eliza was Janes cousins and taught Jane to do something…
Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) delivers the student address at Harvard Law School’s 2004 graduation ceremony in the movie Legally Blond. In the film Elle is a misguided student who gets accepted into law school upon false pretenses, merely to get back with her ex-boyfriend. He broke up with her because she was not suitable to be a future Senators wife, he claimed she lacked intelligence and only had her looks to depend on. Everyone’s doubt pushed her to stay determined, confident, and come to the conclusion that she does not need a man to justify her life. She also realizes that passion fuels the ability to become successful. This speech is very effective because of the rhetorical appeals of ethos, logos, and pathos used throughout.…
