Luis Chavez Rhetorical Analysis
Letter of Support for Luis Chavez January 10, 2015

To whom it may concern

Luis Chavez is an upstanding young man who was also one of the most inspiring teenagers I had ever met in my life. I had the pleasure of working with Luis while I was employed with City Year Chicago, an AmeriCorps program. Luis had done volunteer service with City Year’s Young Heroes Program for years as a middle school student. In 2008, he joined the City Heroes Program, the high school equivalent of Young Heroes, during my term as a Senior Corps Member and Program Leader for City Heroes. Not only was Luis a consistent participant, he was a leader among his peers. He met with us weekly to plan activities and contribute

    Analyzing Rhetorical Techniques In William Carlos's Speech

    Carlos, I thought did a lot better job to raise your voice so everyone in the room could hear what you were saying. I liked that you had visual aids throughout your presentation and a lot of the slides had some humor to them. However, I thought you should have had a few more slides that had a more serious approach because you are talking about a sad reality in the world. You did incorporate sources throughout the speech backing up the claims you were making. Carlos did use Pathos in his speech when he asked the audience how they would feel if one of their siblings was taken away from them. As for logos, he did have some good facts that helped the audience come to the realization of how serious the problem is. I think when you asked the audience…

    Luis Rodriguez Poem

    From growing up in gangs, to suffering withdrawals from his drug addictions, as well as being in and out of jail, he made it his life’s mission to turn his life around for not only his children, but for himself. “There are choices you have to make not just once, but every time they come up”, as quoted in Always Running. Luis is a depiction of proof that it is possible for anyone to turn their life around, but you cannot just dream of it, you have to have the courage and determination to continually work for it. For the past forty years, Luis has been an influential gang intervention and prevention leader in both Los Angeles and Chicago. Recently, in 2012, he partook on the Transnational Advisory Group in Support of the Peace Process in El Salvador to bravely approach, offer his recommendations to assist a “gang-led peace 2012 gang-led peace truce between MS-13 and 18th Street leaders that had international ramifications” (http://www.luisjrodriguez.com/history). Today, Luis is named the 2014 Los Angeles Poet Laureate and of course, he will leave a legacy as a major figure in contemporary Chicano literature. He has written a total of fifteen books “and was ranked number 63 on the American Library Associations’ "Top 100 Banned/Challenged Books: 2000-2009" list” (http://ballotpedia.org/Luis_Rodriguez). His writings have appeared in the Los Angeles and New York Times, Poets and Writers, and the Huffington Post just to name a few. His best-selling book Always Running has sold approximately half a million copies by 2014 and has benefitted his life in more ways than one; for starters, it helped him turn away from his drinking habits. Although Always Running was written in desperation to direct his son onto the right path, Luis realized that this was the book that eventually saved his own life. The position Luis grew up in and the…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of A Letter To The Spanish Americans

    You're very right about the Americans being just as deceptive as the Spanish. I believe that they are just as bad as the Spanish, just in a nicer manner. Instead of chasing them off of their land like the Spanish, they convinced them to leave. I don't think it was right for them to make the Indians leave their mother country because that should have been their land; not the Americans land. The Indians left their land in such horrible condition; the old people didn't have clothes, some people were sick, and the mothers had to carry their kids on their backs.…

    Richard Rodriguez rhetorical analysis

    All can relate to that one special time of the year, Christmas, when whole families unite and spend hours endlessly sharing stories, making memories, and of course, opening presents! What happens though, when all of the sentimental value of Christmas is replaced solely with physical value, the gifts? What would Christmas be like then? Richard Rodriguez takes the readers through one of his annual Christmases and brings to light, through his thoughts, the disconnect that exists between himself, his siblings, and his parents. Rodriguez’ chronological presentation of events with flashbacks, short, abrupt syntax, light-hearted attention to detail and concerned tone contribute to suggest his worried attitude toward his family.…

    The Hands Of The Restless Poor Rhetorical Analysis

    After reading “As a Weapon in The Hands of The Restless Poor” one can feel motivated to help those in need. Earl Shorris appeals to emotion when he talks about creating a program to start to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate. He starts out the story to say he is writing a book which makes him an author which is an example of ethos because he seems reliable. Shorris then states that the poor have been “Cheated” which is substantially true because the rich were given the opportunity to succeed more as someone who is poor and cannot even afford to feed themselves. In order to help the less fortunate out he has to create a program to help the poor succeed. After a Rhetorical analysis of “As a Weapon in The Hands of The Restless Poor” by Earl Shorris one can conclude that most people take for granted even the little things in life, if one were to open their eyes and see there are many people who do not have a dollar to their name, and we have so much that we tend to lose focus on helping the less fortunate succeed in the world we live in today.…
