In this essay, John M. Barry uses antithesis to display a contrast in his thoughts and the assuming thoughts of the readers. In doing this, the author is not only able to show the readers the different sides of how scientists are perceived by people, but as well as how they actually are in the world of scientific research. The author collates certainty and uncertainty as an example for the readers to view that scientists of the world are just like them.

Well, this is blunt to say the least! Writing as being communication and not self-expression is all in a matter of one’s opinion. I detect, that Richard Peck my not like to waste his time on reading others feelings, thoughts, or ideas. In my assessment, this appears to be absolutely hypocritical of him. I myself appreciate reading about different people's self-expressions besides just my own. Therefore, by my observation of Richard Peck statement; it is just a mere feeling, thought or ideas he is projecting. So how ironic is his statement? In my conclusion, it’s bona fide irony.…
The essay that Ben Franklin writes is rather compelling. He actually takes his time to observe the Native Americans rather than judging them harshly. He makes very clear and wise observations on their lifestyle. However, which isn’t so different from there’s. He does notice that they council each other differently from the European society. He sees that they give each other respect by taking time to understand what one another is saying, and collectively correcting each other. When you Franklin compares his council and how they all talk over one another voicing their opinions. Moreover, what Franklin means by savages is that by his examination that simply both the Europeans and Natives consider both their cultures to be civil. Franklin writes,…
What cinque says to John Quincy Adams is that they won't be alone and by this he doesn't mean the law and justice will be with them, but his ancestors. He says that he will go to the past, the beginning of time and beg his ancestors to come and their judgement.

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.…
In this passage from 1984 by George Orwell, Winston is admiring the prole woman below hanging diapers because she loves her family and will even ignore the care of her own body to be helpful towards her family. He is showing that he admires the caring and maternal aspects of this woman and how simple her life is. This passage allows the reader to understand his respect towards the prole life and his desire for a caring figure and simplicity in his own life. Orwell uses a couple different tones here such as a nostalgic one as well as a happy one to prove to you that it is an important quality in Winston’s eyes. He also contrasts the behavior of the woman to that of Julia, who is not respectful of the woman because she does not admire the…
“The Carnivore’s Dilemma”, an essay by Nicolette Hanh Niman, incorporates rhetorical elements, such as logos, ethos, and rhetorical questions, in an attempt to convince the audience that meat itself is not the root of global warming. Written from a rancher’s point of view, the essay relies on studies and logic to prove itself. Niman starts out with a short acknowledgement that the meat industry has a hand in the increasingly noticeable global climate change. She then quickly changes gears, stating that the studies that show the meat industry is a major player in global warming only take the prevailing methods of producing meat into account and spews facts that show the flip side of the food industry.…
