    In Jasmine Lopez’s persuasive essay video, the speaker was very well-spoken and kept her speech at a steady pace. I also liked how she would enunciate every word she spoke to make sure the audience was engaged and understood. Furthermore, the speaker’s opening line was relatable and provided a nice hook to start her speech. The speaker backed up her statements with factual data, which showed the audience that she was credible and passionate about her topic. As the speaker was saying agricultural terms, she made sure to define those terms.…

    On August 8, 2013, a field of rice, called “Golden Rice”, was completely devastated by a group of angry Filipino protestors. However, this was no ordinary rice. It was genetically modified rice that was designed to alleviate some major problems in the world. One farmer passionately said, “we do not want our people, especially our children, to be used in these experiments.” However, there were several people outraged by this act of vandalism. One of those people, Amy Harmon, decided to bury the notion that Golden Rice is detrimental to human health. She attempted this difficult task in her article, “Golden Rice: Lifesaver?” I will be analyzing how she conveys her message to the readers of the article in this rhetorical analysis essay. I argue…

    Vine Deloria has a very poor opinion of American anthropologists who come to the reservations. His tone in the writing is far beyond annoyance or anger and is somewhat sarcastic. He also used harsh vocabularies and connotations such as saying the Indians are a “chessman” or a “game” for the anthropologists to play with. I was unsure if he is purposely doing it just to get the public's attention. He stated that American anthropologists only came to the reservations, not to learn about the Indians and their culture. They, however, solely come to look for proofs that support what they thought the Indian lives should be like which is why the anthropologists, as mentioned in the article, never have to rely on any instrument to record their observations. Deloria also believed that American anthropologists are responsible for many problems that occur to the Indians because the government and the outsiders only get a chance learn about the Indians through the anthropologists' writing. They are representing “the ultimate truth” to others. He stated that not only…

    “A Modest Proposal” is a strongly written satire by Jonathon Swift. In the essay, Swift applies nearly all of the elements of satire. Some of the most obvious elements are his use of creating a persona and his exaggeration. Beginning by analyzing the title, “A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland from Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and For Making Them Beneficial to The Public”, it is a reasonable topic for the essay. However it is not at all modest. Swift absurdly creates suggestions to make the poor children beneficial. His primary goal in this essay is to shame the English, bring up the issues of poverty and motivate the Irish.…

    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.…

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.…

    Susan B. Anthony was born on February 15th 1820, in Adams, Massachusetts. She taught for 15 years before becoming involved in civil movements. Yet because she was a woman, she wasn’t allowed to speak in rallies. Because of this, she and Elizabeth Cady Stanton created the woman’s rights movement in 1852. In 1853, Anthony began to campaign for women’s property rights in New York State legislatures. This lead to a new law in the New York State in 1853 to create the Married Women’s property Bill, which allowed married women to own property, keep their own wages, and have custody of their children. These changes were not enough though, both Anthony and Stanton continuing to campaign for more liberal divorce laws in NY.…

    Some leaders in history are born and destined to enjoy more fame far beyond the reputation of their contemporaries. Shri Biju Patnaik was one such rare personality; He was the brightest luminary. No assessment can do justice to his courage and remarkable valour. Born into an influential and aristocratic family in the year 1916 at Cuttack, he left his rich and comfortable life of home to satisfy his passion to serve the people. He entered politics with a focus on odisha’s economic development, to give its people a life of dignity and free them from poverty and deprivation. He began his political career as a Congressman under the inspiring leadership of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and enjoyed his love and confidence. He served the state as its Chief Minister first time during the year 1961-63. During that period he developed his strategy to revamp the rural economy of Odisha with emphasis on small and cottage industries. He fought and lost elections but was never shaken and always looked to the future with optimism. Though his party won and ruled the state in 1977-80, but he with an intention to build a richer and stronger Odisha, preferred to be involved in the National politics and helped, run the first non-congress National Govt. at the center. It was Odisha’s good fortune that he became the state’s Chief Minister again in 1990. It was a great and decisive political victory for the people of the state. His greatest gift to the nation was the legislative act to reserve 33% of seats for women, not only in the Panchayati Raj Institutions but also in all government jobs. It is worth recapitulating the history of this magnetic personality. Biju Patnaik was a big man with a great mind and the country is yet to appreciate his thoughts and contributions that have shaped the thinking of generations here in the state and in the…
