Jerry Maguire Textualism
Film--Textual Analysis

Jerry Maguire is a mixture of sports film and romantic comedy. This film is produced in 1997 in the United State, directed by Cameron Crowe. The airport scene and few afterwards are about Jerry and Dorothy’s coincidental meet at the airport. However Jerry gets in trouble later in the film and is fired by the company he works at. Because of Dorothy’s admiration, she decides to accompany Jerry and leaves her job with him.

In the airport scene, Dorothy loses her son and somehow Jerry helps to look for her. The director’s intension of putting Dorothy’s son (Ray) in the scene with a middle shot may be creating a connection of the characters. Ray is probably the key who links the two main characters together, and by

    Rhetorical Analysis of Friday Night Lights

    In Friday Night Lights, H.G. Bissinger uses flashbacks in “East Versus West” to develop the change that Odessa has gone through. Bissinger describes how the Panthers have beaten the Bronchos twenty three years in a row. Then Bissinger makes a flashback to 1946, “If you wanted to see real football mania, if you wanted to see a group of people who cared about a team and loved them as if they were their own children, go back to 1946 season when almost half the town was crammed together on the wooden benches of old Fly Field like pencil points.”(157) Bissinger shows that Odessa used to have as much pride as Permian now has. “Go back to the days when people camped out overnight for the tickets with huge smiles on their faces, as if they were performing an important service for their country.”(158) Bissinger then goes on to explain how football started changing in Odessa when in 1959 Permian High School opened.…

    Seabiscuit Rhetorical Analysis

    Hillenbrand plays to the reader’s emotion in Seabiscuit when Red Pollard rides a known wild horse for another owner and is sent crashing into the side of stable. At this point of the novel, the reader had connected with Red as he has gone through over adversities in his life such as his troubled childhood, repeated failures as a jockey, and once they were informed that he was half blind. Because Hillenbrand built up Red for the reader in this way, it caught the reader off guard as they were not expecting Red to lose his ability to ride for the rest of his life. As everyone has received some form of horrific news, the reader emphasizes with Red because he will not be able to ride Seabiscuit when he was required.…

    Rhetorical Analysis of The Truman Show

    What I aim to do with this rhetorical analysis is bring forth to the reader a deeply immersive look at the rhetorical concepts present in the film The Truman Show. It is important for a viewer to fully understand the underlying messages and subtle undertones in between the lines, so to speak. The Truman Show is one man’s life being played out in a closed environment for the entertainment of the outside world. Most important to note, Truman Burbank has no clue that his whole life has been little more than just a television program produced on a grand scale to produce the image of reality in a dome. The Truman Show blends ethos, logos, and pathos together in a symphony of self-discovery and power over an adversary, whether physical or spiritual. It is one man’s journey from unknowing and subconscious subterfuge to self-awareness and vindication.…

    Of Mice and Men - A Comparison Between the Book and Film

    Of Mice and Men - A Comparison Between the Book and Film

    The book starts with Lennie and George travelling towards the ranch, after the incident with Lennie and the girl in the red dress in Weed has already happened, but the movie starts with Lennie and George running away from other guys in Weed, who were chasing them because Lennie has scared the girl in the red dress. I think that the reason they changed the starting is because it doesn't catch the audience at the start of the movie without some action, and it would be a pretty boring start to a movie just having George and Lennie talking about what had happened.…

    Rhetorical Writing

    Learning how to write rhetorically is the key to writing a competent, persuasive essay. The main concept behind rhetoric is effectively predicting how an audience will connect with the main point of an argument. It is vital to approach an essay with the audience’s reaction in mind, because it forms the entire foundation of the work. Rhetorical appeal assists with the basic structure of the paper by allowing writers to assert a distinct voice within their writing. Once a writer has distinguished his or her voice and point of view, rhetorical appeal can be used as a tool in facilitating an opinion in a way that will genuinely resonate with the audience. A writer who knows how to efficiently use rhetorical appeal has a better chance of persuading the intended audience. This is because the appeals provide a method where credibility and value can be established without simply listing things off. It also influences a style within the writing that allows emotion to simmer within the reader. As I review my graduation paper I wrote in high school, I am now aware that I did most of the things someone who understands rhetorical appeal would not do. I am pained by this fact not only because I know my final argument would have been more persuasive, but also because the process could have been simpler and more organized. Understanding rhetorical appeal would have aided me with a specific way of thinking and more importantly made my argument about early child hood education exceptionally persuasive.…
