Bias Rhetorical Analysis
Fall Final Essay Connotation, Rhetoric and bias take a really big part in this essay. I think that when the author talks he uses a lot of bias. Also when he talks the word choice is very strong the words are strong to use but they have no meaning that fit the topic like the word Tinker it is a very strong word but it does not have a meaning that fits the topic. Also when the author talks and uses Rhetoric he uses mostly logos and a little bit of pathos to show the audience that their kids got suspended from school because they wore this don't let your kid get in the same trouble wearing this so they kinda get emotional. Rhetoric when the author was reaching out to the audience he used a lot of Rhetoric and mostly logos and I think that …show more content…
I get that some people get offended but every single person is entitled to there own right and for them to say that it was wrong is not right. People might get offended and that can happen but when they are supporting a cause like cancer which the author says they were supporting is wrong to get them in trouble for that so that is why I think that the author is biased. “two middle­school girls were wrongly suspended for wearing the bracelets as part of a breast cancer awareness campaign promoted by the Keep A Breast Foundation.” The author uses very little connotation in this essay that he wrote. But the words that I was able to find that had connotation in them, one of the words were said in paragraph 1 sentence 1. Forty Four years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that students in public schools don't "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." I think that the author when he said the word “shed” he was referring to like they don't give their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate. That is what I thought that she'd

    Today in America many people question whether or not college is truly worth the stress, time, and cost it throws on an individual. With these “burdens” comes alienation from the outside world with little fun and fulfilling experiences. Some people even say that many college students have zero creativity, and are proud of it. This idea of self-growth and freedom along with a diverting experience, while going through college, is something that Rick Perlstein himself has had the opportunity to do. Unfortunately, Perlstein experienced this in his days, and has come to realization that, “College as America used to understand it, is coming to an end” (Perlstein). With this article being published in the liberal magazine, New York Times, many people, mostly ones who have gone through college, completely disagreed with his opinion. One of those insulted people being Liz Addison. Addison’s claim argues that college is yes, much different, but in a positive way, especially in the community colleges. All together in her one sided- argument, she includes several rhetorical devices to persuade, inform, and emotionally prove her claim. These devices being ethos, and pathos, gives her a strong foundation and effective argument to the liberal audience she is writing her article to.…

    The writer use logos to appeal to logic throughout the writing. Vonnegut uses logic when he said “If you were to bother to read my books, to behave as educated persons would, you would learn that they are not sexy, and do not argue in favor of wildness of any kind.” This is an appeal to logic because they probably never read his books, but they judged them anyways. How can they say the books convey sexy and wildness if they never read them. The writer convinces the reader to agree because of the fact that the probably didn’t read his book is mentioned several times in the argument in different ways.…

    The speech of Kane campaigning for Governor is full of bias. The bias starts from the opening seconds of the movie clip and continued through the speech. The man in the beginning of the movie clip demonstrated a bias in favor of Kane becoming Governor. These biases are created by labeling Charles Kane as a “friend of the working man” who is an ally of the under paid and under fed. This same Kane campaigner offers up a negative bias towards the opponent Jim Gettys by labeling his time in office as an “evil domination”. These same negative biases are continued by Kane himself, calling Jim Gettys “downright dishonest”. All of these negative claims are being made without any supporting facts.…

    The very beginning of the speech begins with a campaigner who is introducing their new candidate for Governor and who expresses negative bias towards the current Governor, Jim Gettys. It begins by describing the current governing as an “evil domination”. That same campaigner then expresses equal bias but in a positive way, towards Charles Foster Kane, by saying he is the only one who can rid the state of its current politics. The campaigner calls him a fighting liberal and friend of the working man but gives no examples of why he feels that way.…

    The examples of bias are: The working man and the slum child are a gender bias. Kane is only pointing out that men are the only ones working and that all the children are slum. Kane makes a statement about “the decent, ordinary citizens know that I’ll do everything in my power to protect the underprivileged, the underpaid, and the underfed.” I feel this could be a begging the question fallacy; it is as if he is saying that the underprivileged, the underpaid, and the underfed are not the decent, ordinary citizen he is talking about. Kane goes and does an ad hominen fallacy when he starts attacking Boss Jim W. Gettys by calling him dishonest and a downright villainy. I think the campaigner…

    He brings historical context into the essay, and attacks the argument for schools by introducing the reader to the man who engineered the American public school system. Gatto introduces James Bryant Conant with his various titles, which include “WWI poison-gas specialist, WWII executive on the bomb project, high commissioner of the American zone after Germany.” By including these details, Gatto shows that our school system was fabricated by someone heavily involved in war, and was also responsible for some of the most atrocious acts of violence in human history. Because of the effect that Conant’s earlier products had on people, this truncated resume suggests that students are just another subject of Conant’s evils. The theme of alluding towards systematic oppression is furthered through diction by asserting that students are “warehoused,” creating the effect of making students seem like some kind of merchandise instead of people. In the same paragraph, Columbine High School is mentioned, to further provoke images of unrest that had been introduced by Conant. The language presented in the latter half of the essay allude to some kind of dystopian society, where people mindlessly follow everything the government tells them. For…

    The topic I chose to examine was the “1992 Republican National Convention Address: A Whisper of AIDS” by Mary Fisher (1992). I was impressed with how even keeled she presented her speech. If there was any bias, then I had trouble detecting it with one exception; that she implied that if you are ignorant and believe the hype that only minorities, gays, and drug users can contract aids. (Fisher, 1992). I feel that it was a rhetorical analogy that she used with fear to get her point across when she used an example of scare tactics in the quote:…

    One example of logos is in regards of Gerald. Gerald Boyd was a poet that awarded a prize for his work, which caused the people of the area to lash out at him, “This is the end of the country-not the delta, not those vile little settlements in that hellish swamp Gerald is so crazy about, even though some bastards who live there nearly killed him……It’s what those savages in the bayou did to him. He won a prize for his poetry, a big sophisticated city prize, and of course the local newspaper wrote him up. Those bayou creatures got wind of it, word of mouth, I suppose, since I don’t believe for a second that they can read! Those poems were about them. About their lives. Beautiful poems. And they took offense. What right did he have to write poems about them? They grabbed him one night. They held him on the ground and stuck a hoe into his poor bottom and blew air up him…He had a heart attack after that, because of what they did to him. His country folk friends. He wouldn’t tell the police who did it to him. Howard says he still sees him,” (Fox, page 72). Here we see the beginning of trying to establish reason and logic for what happened to Gerald. By using logos, we are entering the minds of the people that hurt Gerald and try to justify their actions. Again we see this further in the book, “He made their lives his subject. He marked them out and made them seem…

    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.…

    Beverly Gross’s "Bitch" first appeared in the Salmagundi, a humanities and social sciences-based magazine in 1994. In this essay Gross mainly discussed about the meaning of the word “Bitch” changed across time. She analyzed the word in different perceptive, its offensive meaning, its contemptuous meaning and its literal meaning. As the meaning of the word “Bitch” is changing over time, it actually represents the women’s roles in the society is changing as well. Gross illustrates the word “Bitch” as a demeaning word, she claimed, “A word used by men who are threatened by women”. (Beverly Gross, P.628) It shows that men are willing to be the dominant of the society, and the word “bitch” is an ultimate weapon men have to humiliate women. Anecdotes, contrast and comparison are techniques Gross used to create a strong, powerful and persuasive essay.…
