    Gaby Rodriguez makes use of rhetorical questions throughout her novel to put emphasis on the cliché ideas that people hold about teen moms. One question that Gaby poses to the reader is “Why do we insist on putting limitations on what people are capable of doing?” (Rodriguez & Glatzer 111). This rhetorical question is drawing attention to how Gaby’s classmates put restrictions on her because of her “pregnancy.” They metaphorically place a glass ceiling over Gaby’s head because they believe she is not capable of going any further. Gaby constantly struggles to break through this barrier. Her goal is to show everyone that a teen mom is not doomed to live an unsuccessful life. During her project, she makes it clear that she will still attend college,…

    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.…

    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.…
