Isaac's Argument Analysis
The most interesting interpretive difference between the Jews and Christians was Isaac’s age. The age of Isaac alters Isaac’s emotional appeal in Genesis 22. For Christians, Isaac is seen as a young boy who has not fully reached adulthood (Kessler, 88). This gives Isaac the air of innocence. In my mind I picture him as a helpless, little lamb who cannot control his destiny of being a sacrifice to God. However, the Jews portray Isaac as a grown man between 26 to 37 years of age (Kessler, 88). This completely changes the sentiment I originally had for Isaac because he does not have his innocence anymore. I can no longer picture a little boy being forced to carry heavy wood that would be used for his sacrifice. I see a grown man in his prime years

    Pozdnyshev's Argument Analysis

    Two separate arguments take place: the old vs the present, and then the present vs the new. The old is denounced with statements such as “those times have passed” (Tolstoy & Katz 137) and “What barbarous views of women and marriage!” (Tolstoy & Katz 139). Then Pozdnyshev jumps into the aftermath of this first argument and shakes them all up with his statement about how love is always temporary: “this preference for one [person] may last for years…more often for months, or perhaps for weeks, days, or hours” (Tolstoy & Katz 140). Pozdnyshev is portrayed as winning this argument, as he is given the last…

    “In 2018, we will bring real change to a new generation of women who will carry with them constant reminders that they are not only Canada’s future, but a celebrated part of our history.” (Morneau, 2016). Finance Minister Bill Morneau and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have announced that a Canadian woman will be honoured and represented on our Banknotes. A list of women has been released and the public was asked to vote on which woman they believe should be represented on the banknote.…

    Winston's Argument Analysis

    Winston’s argument is that the Party would fail with the power the possess. He states that the older generations would use the previous Newspeak than the new generation and they might be influenced to use the previous language. People can rebel against the Party like how he and Julia did. Even if the proles become cautious of what’s happening then they can overthrow the Party. As long as people remember, you can’t control them at all. A civilization based on hate and fear would never endure. For example, the German Nazi’s had so much power and influence during World War II. Eventually, their power fell and the Allies won the War. No matter what happens, so much power would fall…

    Mr. Carnegie's Argument Analysis

    Carnegie has inspired women and men to use their funds to their communities. Although he advised other wealthy to use their money to benefit the communities and help in the preservation of the political system and America economy. I believe Mr. Carnegie’s argument is persuasive and is still relevant today. The wealthy, as well as small business owners, are the job creators in our society today. Their vision and leadership help to support the lower class in earning a decent living while allowing them to realize their own potential. The lower class today has more opportunities that were not available to them generations ago. While government is there to provide a safety net for those less fortunate, it is the wealthy and job creators that…

    Mickey Hess's Argument Analysis

    Mickey Hess looks at the use of multiple identities by rap musicians to obscure the conflicting contradictions between authenticity and marketability. Hip hop, having budded from a culture of oppression against African-Americans, grew as a medium of resistance. Hess cites Tricia Rose’s words, stating that hip hop, in the context of resistance, wages an “ideological warfare with institutions and groups that symbolically, ideologically, and materially oppress African Americans” (pp.298). Therefore, the experience of oppression and life in the projects is central to most rappers’ identities as hip hop artists.…

    Lincoln's Argument Analysis

    Lincoln starts his argument about the 13th amendment with the story of Melissa Goings being said that she murdered her husband. In Lincoln’s statement he says that the court decided she had enough justice done. After this story, he makes the argument I decided that the constitution gives me many powers. Using the argument allows him to show the cabinet members how much power he has during the war. While also saying that is why he decided he needed the powers to exist to uphold my oath to protect the constitution. This argument shows Lincoln’s decisions are based on the oath he took when taking office and doing his duties while there. Also, that he needs to protect the people’s constitutional rights. Because he knew the men would use the facts…

    Lindsay Argument Analysis

    As you mentioned in your post, all adults should be treated with respect. Even if older adults possess cognitive declines or deficits, nurses should still always treat this patients with respect and dignity. Older adults may experience declines in the swift ability to remember recent events, but remote memories are still highly preserved. Furthermore, although ageing does affect the speed in which cognitive and motor processes are preformed, the older adult still can successfully complete these activities, it may just take them longer (Tabloski, 2014). Nurses should never resort to hushing, rushing, or downgrading older adults who may have difficulties completing tasks that younger persons take for granted. As a busy floor nurse,…

    Susan Bordo's Argument Analysis

    In recent discussions of Susan Bordos reading about women’s pressures in society, one controversial issue discusses how women have expectations in society that they think they have to follow. These expectations consist of being able to cook and work in the kitchen, look beautiful, and dress certain ways to gain attention. In contrast, other arguments are; men do not have to worry about their weight, they should be strong and maintain a fit body, and not needed to cook or help out in the kitchen. Proponents of this position, emphasize that women in this world have to follow what society portrays of them, otherwise by not doing it, they will not receive the same attention as they would if they listened to society. Overall, the issue presented…

    Maddison Argumentative Analysis

    This argument analysis examines the article Recognise What? Problems with the campaign for constitutional recognition (Maddison, 2017). Published in the May/June issue of the Indigenous Law Bulletin, Maddison describes the process to recognise Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders as the first people of Australia in the constitution. The article explains this process through several accounts, resistance to the campaign and the role of the ‘Recognise’ campaign. Throughout the article, Maddison argues that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders should be recognised as the first people of Australia while acknowledging the problems with the campaign. The analysis will identify the main claims, evidence used to support these claims and the assumptions made by the author. Maddison uses several forms of evidence to support her 3 main claims and the underlying assumptions.…

    Kimball Argument Analysis

    I really enjoyed this article. It has been one of my favorites thus far. Kimball had many quality arguments and opinions on what needs to change within the church. His main point of this article is stated on page 86, "I believe true emerging churches must go deep within, and form the inside out, rethink. reshape, and revalue how we are about everything as culture changes. We must rethink leadership, church structure, the role of a pastor, spiritual formation, how community is lived out, how evangelism is done, how we express our worship, etc. It is not about what we do in the worship service, but about everything". I agree with Kimball that the Church still has a lot of growing to do, and trough that growing there must be some changes made along the way. Over the years we have lost our way, and need help guiding us back on the right path.…

    Bartholomae Argument Analysis

    At first read of this article, I realize how important this essay is for understanding the complexities of how many students must negotiate when writing for the first time. Not only in an academic community in general – but also in the different departments of the academic community such as; English, Philosophy, Biology, Psychology, etc.. After my second read of this article, I realize that Bartholomae’s audience is for teachers, in that, Bartholomae raises awareness for a need among composition and writing scholars to be very specific in the demands they make on students. However, even though many students are very much aware of the demands of the academic community, many are still lacking the power to live up to the expectation and engage,…
