My Rhetorical Analysis
Composing my argument of inquiry was a lot more complicated than composing my rhetorical analysis. For my argument of inquiry, I had to the annotate my sources before I could synthesize them into an essay. My essay was organized by the different viewpoints accompanied with the supporting evidence I found. In my rhetorical analysis, I divided my essay into: the appeals Wacquant was making and the overall persuasiveness of the piece. However, I found it really difficult to organize these ideas. There was no synthesis needed in this essay. My writing process usually begin with annotation of my source(s) and/or detailed outline of my essay. I found that pre-writing works for me because I don’t do that my essay usually ends up not being cohesive

    A Rhetorical Analysis Of David Suzuki's Essay '

    This Rhetorical analysis essay was very difficult for me to get started but once I did I made many changes before I came into class with my first draft. I started by making a web trying to get my ideas onto paper so that it would eventually make it easier to organize into a paper. I have a hard time with organization so I thought pulling quotes and basic ideas I wanted to bring up in this essay would make it flow a little better. I started out by using the Faigly book to and looking at the layout for how to write a rhetorical analysis. After that I answered all the questions, which then inevitably got put into the outline to help further get my points across. The thing that helped me the most was only writing a little bit at a time rather…

    In Dinesh D' Souza’s essay, "Two Cheers for Colonialism,” he attempts to convince the audience about several concerns regarding colonialism and Western civilization. He employs various methods to make the audience see his point of view. He uses a lot of emotional appeals, humor, ethos, logos, and anecdotes to argue that the West did not become influential through colonial oppression. He says, "By suggesting that the West became dominant because it is oppressive, they provide an explanation for Western global dominance without encouraging white racial arrogance. They relieve the Third World of blame for its wretchedness,"(1) and "The West did not become rich and powerful through colonial oppression. It makes no sense to claim that the West grew rich and strong by conquering other countries and taking their stuff"(2). He uses rhetorical strategies such as evidence-based arguments like the one above, to make a strong logical appeal to the audience.…

    The Article, Supplements are a Shame by Mike Tanier, argues one big factor that is influenced by many athletes, gym rats, and regular Americans who take supplements on a daily basis. The main argument that this article stresses is how most of the supplements that people take is just a big waste of money. Mike Tanier also argues that there is a lot more we don’t know about supplements than what we actually do know. For instance, even though we do not know how big the supplement industry is, we have a good estimate but do not know how many athletes use them, we do not know who is in charge, we do not know what these products actually do to our body, we don’t know what is contained in the bottles.…

    The purpose of Queen Elizabeth’s speech at the Tilbury was to persuade her troops to believe in her and to be loyal to her. At the beginning of the speech, she addresses her troops as “my loving people”, already showing her credibility as a loving ruler. She then goes on stating that she would never dishonor her troops and that she has always done the best she could for them. In the middle of her speech she states she would “live or die, lay down for my God and for my kingdom and my people”. By using parallelism and the appeal of pathos to make her troops feel love, she shows how loyal she is and she would do absolutely anything and everything for them. Queen Elizabeth also states how mentally strong and capable she is of ruling her kingdom and people by comparing her weakness as a woman to her “heart of a king”. Towards the end of her speech, she talks about how her kingdom is so brave and vigorous, that she dares anyone to invade her “realm”, and for anyone who is idiotic enough to try she herself “will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder”. She again uses the appeal of pathos by calling her troops “noble” and “worthy”, buy saying this she makes them feel important valued. She then assures her troops that they will soon have a victory over their enemies if they obey the general, concord in the camp, and have courage in the field. She ends her speech by saying “we shall have victory if we honor my God, of my kingdom, and of my people”…

    During this semester our class had to write three major essays, which are: Rhetorical Analysis (RA), Discipline Investigation (DI), and Critical Reading Reflection (CRR). The Rhetorical Analysis paper is based on how “to develop your understanding of rhetoric by investigating how a writer constructed a professional document or text in your major field.” It is also “to practice analytical thinking and clear writing. Basically, I had to research a professional document that is in the field that I want to succeed in my future career. I had to analysis what the rhetorical strategies and appeals are and explain it. The Discipline Investigation paper is based on “to investigate a discourse community you hope to join and to learn about the kinds of text that community uses.” Before I started this paper, I researched about the job position I would be interested in the future and set up interviews with general managers from hotels. I asked questions to get more outside knowledge and get to know how the job works personally. The Critical Reading Reflection is based on the book we read which is, The Mind at Work and personal experiences with work. My first best essay is the Discipline Investigation, then the second best is Rhetorical Analysis, then the third best is Critical Reading Reflection.…

    In South Central, Los Angeles, there is a food epidemic taking place among the population. For miles and miles, the only easily attainable food source is fast food; causing the overconsumption of un-nutritious, greasy, and fattening food. This is the problem brought to the public’s attention by speaker Ron Finley in his Ted Talks speech, “A Guerilla Gardener in South Central L.A.” Finley explains how everywhere he looks in his native South Central, all he sees are fast food chains and Dialysis clinics opened due to the lack of nutritious food. Finley views the lack of a healthy food source as a serious problem, and brings up his point; there are miles of vacant lots throughout Los Angeles, all of which could be used for the cultivation of healthy fruits and vegetables to better the urban community’s diet and health.…

Bradbury’s purpose is to promote the idea that a person should have the courage to listen to their own beliefs and thoughts of happiness rather than to blend in with society. He adopts a disoriented and poetic tone in order to appeal to similar feelings and experiences on a non-realistic scale in his young adult readers.…

    In “Bring Back Flogging”, Jeff Jacoby addresses the problems within America 's criminal justice system. He gives many reasons why imprisonment simply does not work, and suggests that corporal punishment should be used as an alternative. Published in the Boston Globe, a newspaper well known for being liberal, Jacoby provides a conservative view and directs his argument towards those who strongly support imprisonment and view corporal punishment to be highly barbaric and inhumane. However, in order to shed light on our current situation, Jacoby discusses the dangers that we face though our criminal justice system a nd shows concern that imprisonment is doing more harm than good. In effect, Jacoby looks to the past for solutions, and despite knowing the liberal views of his audience, refers to the Puritans ' use of flogging to display historical background of corporal punishment in America. Furthermore, Jacoby uses statistical data and refers to experts such as a Princeton criminologist and a former Supreme Court justice in order to further convince his audience. He makes an appeal to emotion by mentioning rape cases within prisons. Through effective rhetorical strategy, Jacoby argues that imprisonment contains too many flaws to be used in the American criminal justice system, and suggests flogging as an alternative.…

    Sometimes life gets tough and gives us obstacles and challenges just to see how we overcome them. It only takes one mistake for someone’s life to be turned upside down. Watching people go through hardships and life challenges helps us get on the right path and succeed.

One living free and being able to experience things and the other living unfortunately behind bars. Wes Moore uses the rhetorical appeals ethos, logos, and pathos to engage the readers attention on how two boys with so many similarities can grow up and live two completely opposite lives.…

    For many years I have been taught that to write an essay I need to make sure I follow a specific set of steps. English class, in high school, had an essay format that consisted of an introduction, a body with at least three paragraphs, and a conclusion. The introduction was the most significant part of the essay because it was at this point where you explained what the argument, the purpose and the main points of it were. Furthermore, it was of utmost importance that in the introduction there was a thesis statement, which stated what you wanted to prove with the paper. However, despite my previous knowledge of writing, as I started college, English class or College Writing had a whole different concept about writing your own essays. I started reading and analyzing essays that did not had a specific conclusion or argument or that had several points of view stated the author which were set forth by giving a series of anecdotes. For the first time professors were teaching me to ponder more than the mere writings of another person. I finally comprehend that writing and reading are both ways of making and discovering knowledge.…
