    A Rhetorical Analysis Chapter 4

    Chapter 4, we learned the various aspects of an audience, when preparing a written or electrical document. How did I consider my audience needs and interests as I developed the presentation about Great Calls marketing strategy? I put myself in their shoes and considered the expectations that a manager of a large cellular company would expect. I recognized their time is valuable and I would need to be quick and direct. I also thought that I would have to put together a presentation that was professional and eye catching and brought valuable information to helping them direct the company to a new solution to increase customer attention. Who was my audience? The people I am presenting to are five managers of Genuine Cellular, who I assume are…

The author shows his qualification for writing about Chris by making comparisons with his own life and interviewing those close to Chris…

    Rhetorical Analysis

    “The Squint and the Wail” is an essay by Michael Hsu. Hsu, a Taiwanese American author and editor, wrote this essay in order to express his views on the negative connotations that occur with some of the racially charged objects present in society. More specifically, the essay deals with the stereotypical nature of The Chin Family. The Chin Family is the name of Stefano Giovannoni’s tabletop collection, which includes salt and pepper shakers that have the caricaturized facial expressions of Chinese people (Giovanni, 404). In this essay, Hsu talks about the appalling nature of the stereotypical features and how those features pose a derogatory inference to Chinese culture, but then reciprocates his views on the tabletop collection to a more neutral stance. Hsu’s main claim is that it is derogatory to exaggerate on the racial-specific physical features of a race and to present that exaggeration to the public under the guise of an everyday tool. Hsu’s piece shows race from a particular perspective and then compares that perspective to the perspectives of the individuals he associates himself with. Hsu’s persuasive approach can be broken down and interpreted by viewing his stance through ethos, pathos, logos, and mythos.…

    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…

    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.…

    Well-known Sci-fi writer, Ray Bradbury, in his novel, Fahrenheit 451, illustrates that relationships reflect who individuals are and who they want to be. 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.…

    Do traffic signals make a difference when drivers are conducting their vehicles? In U.K. the roads have less signs and are smaller roads than in the United States. The United States has great amounts of traffic signals and symbols all over the road to make the driver more aware. In the U.K. accidents do occur but not that often has in the United States. In the Unites States every second there is huge amounts of accidents going on over the nation. John Staddon in his magazine article “Distracting Miss Daisy” tries to persuade that traffic control is making traffic more dangerous because we do not pay attention to the road, but to the signals.…

    The Apology Analysis

    In the beginning of this section of Apology of Socrates, the jurors find Socrates guilty by a 281 to 220 vote. Socrates begins his next speech by revealing that he is not grieved by this decision, and that he is surprised only by the ratio of guilty to innocent votes, thinking the majority would have been against him. He tells the audience that the proposed penalty is death, yet he does not feel that is fair in his belief that he had never wronged anyone. He believed that what he was doing was a job given to him by God, and that he was instilling, or attempting to instill, the seeking of wisdom and virtue that he thought led a man to righteousness. Socrates then lists all the possible alternatives for penalty, being a fine, imprisonment, or exile. He follows these alternatives with reasons against these, being that he has no money, does not wish to be the slave to magistrates in prison, and will only continue his practices and be exiled at each new place he travels, in that he will not cease his tongue as it would be a disobedience to God. The jurors then vote to condemn Socrates to death, and he retaliates with the stating that he would never act as they wanted him to in order to receive acquittal, and that he would rather be true to himself and die for it. He further explains that he is convinced that death cannot be evil, for the oracle did oppose him from saying any one thing during his trial, as it normally does when something Socrates is about to make an error or slip in any way. Additionally, death can be of two beneficial things, a state of nothingness and unconsciousness compared to a sound sleep, or the migration of the soul to from this world to another, in which Socrates can question and be amongst the heroes of the Greek history. Socrates finishes by asking the jury for one last favor, being that when Socrates sons grow up, he asks for them to be punished if they ever value riches or anything other than virtue, and pretend…
