Bp's Rhetorical Appeal Of BP
I believe the author's main rhetorical appeal was the usage of logos. For instance, the author makes a statement of how a company going green can easily be seen as a "flexible exploration strategy," (page 113). He continues on with a solid example of BP choosing to develop a sustainable coffee subsidiary in order to gain a more positive name in this aspect. Then, the author goes on to logically and sensibly present how such actions have garnered the question of the vague interpretation of environmental protection this subsidiary has bought. Then, another example of the author utilizing logos would be explaining the logical reasoning behind why changing the overall narrative of oil is quite difficult. The author clearly rationalized this through

    There are seven common mistakes people make when preforming job-searches. The first mistake people make is to tell a potential employer you left your last position of employment due to personal differences with you and your boss.

    Out of the variety of rhetorical devices Sitting Bull could have used, two were mostly present. The rhetorical devices that were most presently used in his speech was a mixture of both Logos and Pathos. This is due to the fact that he talks about the white settlers in conjunction to how he feels about them and how he feels about what they do to his people and the Earth herself. "Yet hear me, friends! we have now to deal with another people, small and feeble when our forefathers first met with them, but now great and overbearing” shows not only how he thinks of the white settlers, but also how their strength has evolved over time compared to when they first arrived. As Sitting Bull states “They compel her to produce out of season, and when sterile…

    In his satirical essay "A Modest Proposal," Johnathan Swift examines treatment of the poor in Ireland during the eighteenth century: “I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London; that a young healthy child, well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food; whether stewed, roasted, baked or boiled, and I make no doubt, that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or ragout.” (Swift 763) In his essay, Swift describes a repulsive suggestion for dealing with the children of the poor in Ireland. Swift describes in detail how poor children should be raised and sold to the wealthy at age one. He details how the children should be and how they should be prepared for the wealthy to consume. Swift's abhorrent proposal for the poor children not only points out the awful treatment of the poor in Ireland during the eighteenth century, but also Ireland's inability to devise a more desirable plan for the poor. His use of statistics and graphical depiction of the poor children's lives adds to the credibility of his essay.…

    If you do not realize that this proposal is satirical, you have no sense of humor or irony. It is impossible to imagine a serious proposal for eating children.

    (Swift, 1729) He goes so far as to suggest different ways of preparing the children as meals. (Swift, 1729) He claims that this is the only answer for all the children born into poverty. (Swift, 1729) He claims that under their present day conditions, it is impossible to solve the problem by any other means. (Swift, 1729) The poor cannot be employed in handicraft or agriculture, or build houses and cultivate land. (Swift, 1729) Children can’t make a living as thieves until around six years of age so that isn’t an option. Nope, all that can be done with them is to eat them. (Swift,…

    Rhetoric is a combination of presentation and situations. A message about agriculture will be more important in a place like Texas as opposed to New York city, where there are less crops. This is why politicians say different things in different cities, and different states. Each of the rhetorical elements are important, and can be mixed and matched to fit the situation. No one part should be ignored, as they are equally important.…
