    AIDS is not a disease that simply affects certain kinds of people. “It does not ask whether you are black or white, male or female, gay or straight, young or old.” It isn’t something to be stereotyped to specific people it is a disease that see’s nothing but a host to infect and ruin. The infectious rate is at a constant increase which is fueled by our prejudiced silence. In her speech Mary Fisher begs of her Party to take a compassionate public stand. She asks of them to not only speak but to act on their words and she motivates these actions by invoking fear into her audience. Through her words she’s opened the eyes of many and opened their hearts through fear for their own safety, their families and their loved ones safety as…

    She believes that the children whom were on the street were expected to make a living the best way they could. Not only did reformers see children as victims of a corrupt environment, but also as the ones adding to the problem. The children of this population spent majority of their time outside of the home, mainly in the streets. The reformers did not see this as an improvement; they were more so disturbed by them being in the public environment unsupervised. The streets gave children freedom and independence with no boundaries. The middle class thought just as the woman’s domain was in the home, the children should be there too. Middle class reformers saw these children whom were left in the streets as a form of…

    In the speech Mary fisher uses pathos, logos, and ethos to appeal to her audience. In paragraph 14 “If it is true that HIV inevitably turns to AIDS, then my children inevitably turn to orphans”. This statement is pathos because she fills the audience with fear, “ children inevitably turn to orphans”. This is effective because it does not only affect her but, everyone who has HIV; they or an individual will lose someone they dear. She’s basically giving a warning of consequences of what is to be the outcome. In paragraph 5 “Aids is the third leading killer of young adult Americans. But it won't be for long, because unlike other diseases, this one travels”, this is logos because it’s giving a fact that it’ll rise higher than its current position. This is effective because yet again she’s presenting the fact that it travels from area to the next, another sign of warning. This gives the audience a piece of mind to worry about HIV spreading. Another appeal is ethos “ If you believe you are safe, you are in danger. . . I was not at risk”, stated in paragraph 9. She’s stating that she has attained HIV, yet she did nothing risky This is one of the few statements that qualifies her to have the credibility to advocate others on the issue. This is effective because it allows the audience to know what she saying is actually true. With her use of utilization of appeals it gives the listeners a warning of what is to come, a…

    When she tells the audience her grandmother was born just three years after women won the right to vote and that she herself was born only because Roe v. Wade was not yet decided (para. 2), she reminds readers that women have only recently earned the right to equality and the ability to make choices regarding their own bodies. Several times she suggests that a female president is what all generations of women have dreamed of and it is the next step to “laying dynamite on centuries of white patriarchy” (para. 8). By bringing up feminist ideas such as these, she evokes emotion in the audience and makes it seem as if a woman is the only hope to continue making change. From there she builds on the feeling of American pride and patriotism to give the idea that it would be great not just for women but America in…

    Fisher begins by speaking of the non-existent impacts of movements that have attempted to raise awareness about AIDS. She utilizes the word “despite” in consecutive phrases to show that “despite science and research” and “good intentions”, nothing significant has occurred because “the epidemic is [still] winning”. Through her usage of repetition, it is inferable that society has ignored these efforts due to the way of thinking that was scorched by de Cleyre. This ignorance from the public reveals how deeply rooted this “self-ism” is in our society. And to extend her point even further, she says that the “White House” has attempted to try to raise awareness about AIDS. Her reference to the government further exposes the stubbornness of society to change their selfish way of life. She tries to say that even with the government pushing for this cause, the public still refuses to take action. But even the government isn’t doing much. Fisher mentions the “campaign slogans” and “hopeful promises” that were made by the government with a sarcastic tone. This implies that the speaker believes that even our federal government has a mindset of selfishness. But this is only the beginning of her attack on society.…

    Next, Truth puts the rhetorical appeal logos into action. She now tries to appeal to the audience in a logical manner. She starts of by asking, “Then they talk about this thing in the head, what’s this they call it? [Intellect someone whispers.] That’s it honey. What’s that go to do with women’s rights or negro’s rights?” When Truth puts things into plain perspective like that it makes sense to everyone. She also makes sure the audience is involved by making points but asking them as rhetorical questions. It keeps…

    Gilliam uses a variety of film techniques in order to create a fantastical effect within scenes, specifically Parry’s hallucinations as well as Jack’s drunken induced stupors. The use of design in the smoke effect of bright red and white lights illuminate the horse as it strides down the alleyways and through central park. This use of a reoccurring motif allows the director to portray Parry as a man haunted by a past he is unwilling to confront. Hence his uncontrolled, self-generated, delusions of the grail and knighthood. By creating such a powerful and intimidating visual representation ‘such as a fire breathe horse, which a red knight rides, allows us to understand the depths of pain Parry is experiencing, or has experienced.…

    Mrs Fisher opens with a metaphor of a shroud of silence draped over the public’s eyes, a beautiful and poetic representation of the ignorance about AIDS that clouds society. She clearly states her purpose: to bring the silence—the fear—to an end. Her goals are further emphasized with the use of antithesis “I want you attention, not your applause”, stressing the solemnity of the issue and her own selfless dedication to the cause.…
