Investing In Hostess Cakes
The overall tone of the article is humorous because the middle of the article talks about how Trump’s presidency will cause him to gain weight. “Like people say, what do you invest in during the Trump era? I feel like, Hostess Cakes. Most of us are just scared and eating ice cream.” This quote shows his humorous tone because he thinks investing in Hostess Cakes is going to be a strong investment because of the fear of the people for Trump. He may be talking in this humorous tone because this is a way to mourn a tragic event in at least half the nation’s eyes. He transitions to a more serious tone at the end of the article, “The comic muses: “I’m trying to transition from making comments on social media to choosing one or two organizations

    Rhetorical Analysis Of How To Fight Presidents 'By O' Brien

    When O’Brien was being detained by the secret service for an article he wrote entitled “How to Fight Presidents”. He pondered on the implications of satire and how they also related to being a comedian. To ponder a statement like this O’Brien decided that it was best to use pathos to rhetorically appeal to an emotion in order to connect his words together. Logically, he knew that because he was talking to a secret service member the seemingly egotistical statement did not make it out of his mouth. Rather thought this statement as result of the joy he felt at the moment where he thought he might have got away easy. “Ah, the life of a joke smith, I mused internally, the burden and joy of making the world a more magical place, one laugh at a time.…

    What Does Obama Hope To Accomplish Before Leaving The White House

    The article takes many accomplishments of Barack Obama during his presidency and uses it in a humorous context. This draws on the audience's pathos and leaves them laughing. A prime example would be, "Make sure “killed Osama bin Laden” displayed prominently on résumé", this takes one of Obama's most popular accomplishments and puts it in the context of someone who is unemployed and is applying for…

    Trump's Entire Economic Narrative Analysis

    She wanted to inform the readers as well as state her opinion on the matter. Her writing was very straightforward. You could not be confused as to where her argument was going. She explicitly addresses in the last paragraph of her article that “it is hard to square economic reality or self-interest with support for Trump.” The only time she used humor was when she stated that Trump most likely made “white Christians feel they can once again be in the cultural driver’s seat.” That statement weakened her credibility. It was a statement that generalized white Christians and put them all in one tight group. The majority of her article was unbiased whereas that certain sentence reflexed how she thought Trump supporters were like even if one could argue for or against her generalization. Overall, it was a very solid article with clear logic reasoning to support her stance that the statement of economic downfall being one of the main reasons that citizens are voting for Trump is inaccurate. If she didn’t write her feelings about Trump supporters at the end then this would have been a great…

    Botton's Arguments

    Humorists are people who are skillful in using humor for writing, talking, or acting. Their works bring laughter and elation to people. In Botton’s book, Status Anxiety, he believes that humorists not only entertain audience, but also convey important messages that cannot be said directly. Thus, he argues that humorists play a vital role in the society. In most cases, Botton’s claim is justified in that since the early nineteenth century, humorists express their thoughts about the society through humor. Some of these humorists do play important roles in the society by revealing crisis or events happening during that time period to bring awareness from the society.…

    The Cheesecake Factory: A Recipe For Health Care?

    Gawande makes an interesting argument suggesting that the U.S. health care system can improve the quality, efficiency, and cost of care by adopting The Cheesecake Factory’s standardized and quality control approach to food delivery and management. According to this approach, Gawande suggests that a standardized health care conglomerate will foster consistent care that reduces medical mistakes and wasteful use of resources, as well as increase the use of best practices across the organization. However, the idea of standardization of care may be commonly rejected by doctors. Unlike food management, the practice of medicine often requires customization. For example, medicine must be prescribed based upon a patient’s medical history, such as allergies, pre-existing and at-risk conditions, and existing drug regime. In addition, standardization often describes a consistent way of repeatedly doing something. Because of this glass ceiling effect, doctors may be inclined to reject standardization as it degrades their self-worth and autonomy. Undoubtedly, there will be cases that require doctors to provide customized care, but the assembly line approach to medicine as connoted by Gawande lacks fluidity and may not resonate with leaders in the field, especially by doctors who are the backbone of the U.S. health care delivery system.…

    Humor In Argument Essays

    Steven Colbert argues that higher education is ultimately dangerous and pointless and gives many examples why. “Just exactly what makes college so dangerous? It’s the fact that their classrooms and lecture halls are filled with poison known as New Ideas(Colbert 120).” Even from this quote explaining his point, Colbert’s informal language comes off as comical, by the way he calls the classroom and lecture halls “Poison.” Just by reading this one sentence in the beginning of the essay, I was immediately engaged because it I knew that the rest of the essay was going to be amusing. The only problem that humor presents in this situation, is that it’s hard to take the argument seriously. Yes the essay grabbed my attention, but at times it got to a point where it seemed more of a joke rather than an actual argumentative essay. From this specific essay, I can infer that humor in an argumentative is beneficial for grabbing a reader’s attention, but too much can hurt your argument as a whole.…

    The Role of Humorists in Society

    As an illustration to how humorists play a vital role in society is in the article “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift, who creates a plan for eating Irish babies. Swift, is criticizing the English for their abuses against the Irish. Swift thought that eating the Irish babies would solve the “Irish problem”. However, the plan is ridiculous because it is used to describe how the Irish is being treated. The meaning that's being read in the article is that English don't value the Irish life. Instead of Swift saying so, he uses the comparison of eating babies and the abusing of Irish people. For this purpose, criticisms are being made and people don't realize them but they send a strong message.…

    Effectiveness of Diction, Ethos, and Arrangement in “Don’t Blame the Eater”

    The essay opens with a joke, claiming that Jay Leno could use portly kids suing McDonald’s in an upcoming monologue. This hooks the reader’s attention because most people have at least heard of Jay Leno, and may have watched his late night show before. The next sentence is funny as well, comparing kids suing McDonald’s to “middle-aged men suing Porsche for making them get speeding tickets” (Zinczenko 153). It probably wasn’t the objective of the simile, but I could only think about my mother getting mad at my father for buying a sports car to drive fast, so it causes a chuckle. The rest of page 153 discusses rather heavy childhood sorrows, but uses different words to almost make fun of his past. Then on page 154, the tone changes and he gets serious with statistics. “Before 1994…only about 5 percent of childhood cases were obesity-related… Today… Type 2 diabetes accounts for at least 30 percent of all new childhood cases…” (Zinczenko 154). That sounds like it came from another writer, it’s grim. The transition from joking to serious makes the serious part stand out more than if it were just another drab article in the Times. He goes on to describe the $100 billion in annual health care costs, making the reader think about where their tax dollars are being used…
