Emotional Appeal Of An Ottoman's Letter
Overall, the writer provides emotional appeal throughout the letter; specifically the part where he uses the metaphor of the killing of the men as cattle. This evidence gives the reader an overwhelming feeling and drives the reader to want to take an action by ending this horrific event. In addition, the writer uses the technique of name calling to sabotage his opponents. At the end of the second phrase, the Ottomans are in brackets. Here, the writer wants the reader to support him. He wants the reader to have negative view on the Ottomans and implements the ideology that all the ottomans are evil people.
Additionally, the writer uses the testimonial technique. At the end of the letter, he states, “he has lately assaulted the chief city of

    The rhetorical style uses persuasive ideals in the use of language. For example, in the first sentence of the second paragraph, the parallel structure and repetition of the word "that" enable the writers to articulate with excessive clarity their fundamental beliefs. The second paragraph is similar to the concluding paragraph because it also relies on parallel structure and repetition of "that" when declaring the colonies free and independent states. Also,the repetition of "He is,"which is the only phrase other than "He has" in the list of "complaints" shows present tense. In this case present tense leads to urgency to the need for a revolution. Which tells the audience that the only other option is, desolation, and tyranny. There is also negative diction about the actions of the British king(George III) that carry to the emotional appeal. Finally,the prime of the last line effectively portrays the signers as heroes. Which back then where men who would risk everything to support the rights in man that was established by God.…

    “The overseers wore dazzling white shirts and broad shadowy hats. The oiled barrels of their shotguns flashed in the sunlight. Their faces in memory are utterly blank.” Black and White men are the symbol of ethnic abhorrence. “The prisoners wore dingy gray-and-black zebra suits, heavy as canvas, sodden with sweat. Hatless, stooped, they chopped weeds in the fierce heat, row after row, breathing the acrid dust of boll-weevil poison.” The narrator expresses the unforgiving situations the slaves worked in; they didn’t even have a choice which is the saddest part. Yet the slave masters lived a different elegant life.…

    Roedel shows mercy by only killing men for good reason. He demonstrates this mercy when he “gave no warning but the cocking of [his] Navy Colt and booked the boy passage with his father” because “Pups make hounds…And there are hounds enough” (8). Roedel kills a boy to spare him from further torment and fighting. He performs this act out of mercy and necessity. At one point, the Bushwhackers torment a captive Federal soldier by reading him letters from his wife, and Roedel shoots him “where he lay and put a period to the letter” (62). Roedel recognizes the cruelty and ends the man’s misery quickly. He shows his ethics by ending pointless torment. These acts of mercy contrast the cruel and meaningless slaughter other soldiers perform. During the raid on Lawrence, Bushwhackers murder countless citizens despite that fact that “there was no army in sight” and that “the citizens never even fired a shot to defend themselves” (174). This slaughter has no justice or reason behind it. The soldiers perform it out of rage, in dark contrast to Roedel’s mercy. This slaughter shows how the war and fighting degrades the soldier’s…

    From 1520 to 1566 in eastern Anatolia when he died Suleiman I the Magnificent had changed the Empire immensely. The sons of Suleiman, who ruled the Ottoman Empire who once were able to call each other brothers, now call each other traitors because each son was consumed by greed and an obsession for power now that their father is out of throne and only one may rise up to the hierarchy. They each had plans to skyrocket the empire in their own very different ways. And so no matter who became the next Sultan, despite making enemies every time the Ottomans had expanded, the Ottomans kept their empire well unified because they had a very robust army, and the Golden Age aided in legitimacy and loyalty towards Suleiman I.…

    Of Mice and Men was well written by Steinbeck and portrayed the lives of two men trying to create themselves a perfect life. It was a bit confusing as the story started out because one did not know as much about the characters and the background they came from and after reading the book one still does not know completely know the characters as well unlike Farewell to Arms or other books which give a good description of the characters before the main setting of the book and tell the readers where they’ve come from. What I found unusual about the book was Lennie following every command of George. Lennie’s tremendous size over George should have made him control over George. Yet he obeyed every command of George including the part where George told Lennie to go jump in the water which nearly drowned him. Another peculiar topic about the Book that I had encountered was Lennie’s low self-control. He has no control over his actions and preventing him from doing major harm was George who was not with him when Lennie played around with the woman in the red dress that resulted in their banishment and the death of Curley’s wife. The Use of Steinbeck’s language made the story entertaining because it was simple and kept the reader focused in on the story. I felt hatred for George controlling Lennie like a mind-puppet yet pity for Lennie because without George he would have done far more worse things.…
