Maz Jobrani's Analysis
Maz Jobrani, the outstanding entertainer and performing artist, has been endeavoring to channel his own experience loathing and challenging Trump into his work. Walking at LAX against the travel boycott ends up plainly one piece. Contending with his mom about her truism she enjoys that Trump talks his brain turns into another. Be that as it may, it's difficult to be entertaining when you have an inclination that your nation is going to heck, and everything begins to sound more ear-splitting than

    Will goes on to ask what would happen if a president delivered a speech like that today. The audience would quickly become confused, bored and restless. He concludes the path of distinguished communication through speech and writing has declined since 1789. He explains there were no televisions for world to watch the address but simply an audience in the room who had no difficulty following his words. This is because they learned complex structures and well formed sentences from very different reading materials than us today. They grew up on material such as King James Version of the Bible and Thomas Cranmer’s book of Common Prayer and John Bunyan’s “Pilgrims Progress”. There mentality, as he suggests unlike ours, “Has not gone flaccid from a steady diet of advertising, situation-comedy repartee and “see Spot run” journalese.”…

    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…

    The 9/11 terrorist attack left many american citizens in a psychological trauma. During President Bush’s speech, he portrayed pathos to convey the effects of this horrifying experience that impacted each and every one of us. In the 9/11 Address to the Nation speech Bush mentioned, “The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge -- huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger,” that revealed a mental image of this horrific…

    In the opening paragraph of Bush’s address he uses pathos the most and he does very effectively. A great example is when he put together the words “victims”,”moms and dads”, and “friends and neighbors”. He also uses the phrases “mass murders” and ‘attack” to make you feel scared. His creative usage of “our” as a pathos and ethos saying it 5 times makes us think that he is apart of the people and he lost apart of him too that day like…

    A perception of belonging is a process that develops over time, and can be established when we feel a sense of affiliation towards an environment; whether it is social, or physical. This notion is extensively explored in Peter Skrzynecki’s poem ‘Feliks Skrzynecki’ from the anthology ‘Immigrant Chronicle’ and in Tim Winton’s – ‘Neighbours.’ Both texts explore the ways individuals achieve a sense of belonging, through finding comfort in a social and/or physical environment.…

    Speaker’s use diction, syntax, and imagery to reflect their tone. In her final argument, Clinton says “After the world watched with horror as the twin towers fell, he called in to a New York TV station, and even on that horrible day when thousands of people lost their lives, he couldn’t stop himself from pointing out that now, because the towers had fallen, a building he owned was the tallest in Lower Manhattan.” Hillary Clinton's use of words like “horror” and “horrible” sets an apathetic tone. By setting this tone Clinton hopes to show voters how self-centered Donald Trump is. While Clinton strives to prove that Donald Trump was self-centered, Trump ventured to show that Hillary Clinton was crooked. Donald Trump first called Hillary Clinton…

    It is even more challenging for the President of the United States, Barack Obama, to give a speech which is like carrying a heavy weight on his shoulders. In the video, “President Obama at the 2015 White House Correspondent's Dinner” speech on youtube.com, it was an evening of April 25th , 2015, when various people, such as politicians, journalists, and celebrities were invited to join the annual roast in Washington, DC. During Barack Obama's speech, he appears to be quite relaxed as he is speaking to the fellow politicians as he humorously shares the highlights of his presidency and the goals of the remainder of his term as his presidency nears its end. His tone and grammar in this speech seem like he is addressing people he is familiar and comfortable with. Plus the setting is light hearted and fun, like a party. His words and effect are more humorous and comfortable, but I personally feel like it would be a different story if he was addressing a tragedy that had just occurred. Instead of Barack Obama being humorous, he would be somber, and instead of being comfortable, his tone would be more respectful and serious. His overall speech was filled with quite a few jokes at the presidential address at the White House Correspondents…

    In his speech, President Trump made promises such as, “America will start winning again, winning like never before,” and, “I will fight for you with every breath in my body and I will never ever let you down.” These quotes accurately demonstrate the use of pathos, since they are quite passionate and are precisely aimed at getting an emotional response from the audience. Following these statements, President Trump again used pathos when he declared “When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.” President Trump uses this proclamation to drive home the motive behind his address, to not only electrify the audience about his presidency but America as a nation. Although Trump used pathos correctly in his speech, his excessive use of this literary device creates an insipid and redundant inaugural address, due to his lack of content. Several educational state, “Many texts from the modern press or politicians are heavily dependent on pathos appeals. Appeals to pathos touch an emotional nerve and compel people to not only listen, but to also take the next step and act in the world” (“Understanding Modes of Rhetorical Appeal: Ethos, Pathos, and Logos”). Pathos is needed for a compelling rhetoric, however when one solely relies on this device, it can have the opposite of the desired impact, and showcase an inadequate speech…

    For instance, when President Donald Trump mentioned his rival Hillary Clinton at a rally, his supporters yelled “’Put her in jail! Waterboard Hillary!’” (Dana Milbank) and later, those same supporters called for security just because John, an ordinary civilian attending the rally “’got into a political argument with some Trump fans” (Dana Milbank). Since many people consider politics a significant issue, those involved with politics naturally stand their ground for their ideas. Under those circumstances, however, with their energy and activities intensifying with larger numbers, Trump supporters end up causing much more conflict with Hillary supporters than necessary. Furthermore, while John did not physically harm anyone, Trump supporters let their rage overwhelm them to the point where security forcefully removed John from the rally to prevent further conflict. On the other hand, in Lord of the Flies, when Jack’s tribe conducted a war dance, “Now out of the terror rose another desire, thick, urgent, blind” (Golding 152), and once Simon entered the party “there were no words, and no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws” (Golding 153). While everyone on the island started out civilized, the lack of adult pressure plus Jack’s ardent struggle for power led to him taking drastic measures to obtain power on the island. However, unlike John’s situation at…

    Khizr Khan starts of with saying that he is a “...devoted, patriotic American, and a Muslim.” After stating what loss him and his wife had gone through, he publicly called out Donald Trump. One of Trump’s major goal is to block off immigrants, especially muslims, from entering the United States. Trump fails to recognize that immigrants greatly contribute to the society of America and the United States as a whole. Khan continues to ask a very controversial question to Donald Trump. Khan says, “Let me ask you, have you even read the United States Constitution?” as he pulls out a copy of the document from his jacket pocket. He then followed up the question by saying, “I will gladly lend you my copy...look for the words liberty, and equal protection of law.” By saying this, he opens people's eyes to make them aware of the image that Donald Trump is attacking muslims, more clear. Khan blatantly reminds viewers that patriots who risk their entire lives and would die for America “...come in all genders, faiths, and…

    "Terrorist, He's Watching" by Wislawa Szymborska explores the anticipation of a real life terrorist bombing. The poem is narrated from a third person omnipresent point of view, in a very matter-of-fact tone. The scene described shows various customers entering and exiting the bar in the minutes leading up to the bombs detonation. A few of them that are close to death get away, and one man even escapes and the re-enters the bar, seconds before it turns into a fiery explosion.…
