He creates a compelling yet passionate tone to convey the idea that races should join through the use of diction and repetition.…
This political cartoon created by Signe Wilkinson was published in the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2019. This cartoon depicts a female and male soccer team opposite each other, with the female team being treated indifferently, by the Soccer Federation in the centre, despite its substantial success. Through this political cartoon, Wilkinson aims to inform U.S rugby enthusiasts about the Soccer Federation’s indifference in U.S women’s soccer compared to U.S men’s soccer despite the U.S women’s soccer success. Wilkinson achieves this through: emphasising the size of the women’s soccer ball, employing statistics within both the U.S men and women’s soccer ball to demonstrate logos, and highlighting the text on the soccer shoes to encourage change to the treatment of U.S women’s soccer.…

While the visual, rhetorical, and literary analysis includes references to asking questions and making observations, certain exercises were mind conditioning to speak and write with practice accordingly as the art of listening and reading critiques a course for the Analytical Research Paper.

Whatever holds interesting about the writings implies how much of the unknown is yet to learn; comparatively, Writing Analytically is not a natural born talent.…

Most people have the common idea that homeless people have a high illiteracy or a lack of education, but Eighner is different from most homeless people. Eighner states that he, “wrote the Merriam-Webster research service to discover what [he] could about the word “Dumpster.” [He] learned from then that “Dumpster is a proprietary word belonging to the Dempster Dumpster company” (Eighner 107). His familiarity with this information establishes ethos. Throughout these five paragraphs it is revealing Eighner’s character as someone who is drawn well to his intellect and it stabilizes his credibility as a character.…
This paper analyzed two articles from different fields of studies, then compared and contrasted them for rhetorical elements. One from the field of criminal justice and the other from the field of psychology.

I actually did the exact same speech as you. I agree that he does use a lot of fillers like um, and yeah, especially when he was coming up with what he was going to say next. I believe he was one of those kids who doesn't do any work in class and ends up winging it when it comes time. You can see that he didn't think through his speech at all. He doesn't have confidence in what he is saying, which leads to him avoiding eye contact with the audience and ends up with terrible body language. I also agree that his topic didn't help him very much, considering that there is not much to say about the subject.…

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”…
I believe that the rhetorical strategy of narration is both seen differently in the article, “Unnatural Killers”, by John Grisham and the article, “The Case Against College Athletic Recruiting” by Ben Adler. Both appeal emotionally to the reader but one is a lot more logical in its approach then the other.…
