Thank you for your feed back, I would check again for grammar and editing, I believe there have been some erros. Regarding to share my paper with your educators, I really do not know; what would you suggest Dr. Privitera. This is a topic that I have considered for my Capstone project. I am somehow affraid that someone else copy the study if there is good potential on it. However, I would strongly consider Dr. Privitera's advise.…
In summary, the paper by the unknown author and by Brandon Jorritsma seems similar. But, the use of sources throughout the writing and their effects is what makes the two writings different. The use of sources adds evidence and support to writing while not using sources concludes that the information present is not reliable. Reliable sources are applied by quoting and paraphrasing. Furthermore, sources have the power to enhance writing by making it more persuasive in contrast to sources not enhancing writing by making it less…
In this particular political cartoon (pictured at right), the artist is making an argument about President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. The cartoon was created with the intention of revealing that the Democratic Party is trying to get rid of Vice President Joe Biden because they believe he is no longer qualified for the job. The artist appeals to many senses through the use of color, drawings, and text.…
The article “Tarmageddon”, written by Andrew Nikiforuk, elaborates about the negative effects of the tar sands on Canada. In his essay, Nikiforuk mainly makes use of the logos appeal repeatedly to get his point across to the reader. The author also makes use of the other two rhetorical appeals to get to the reader. While the author uses logos in the essay to appeal to the audience, he missuses it as he uses it to appeal to the reader’s emotions rather than using it to make a logical argument. This is shown through his word choices and name calling through the essay.…
This paper analyzed two articles from different fields of studies, then compared and contrasted them for rhetorical elements. One from the field of criminal justice and the other from the field of psychology. The criminal justice article, “DA Vance: Tyrone Howard Convicted of Murdering NYPD Detective Randolph Holder” was produced by The New York District Attorney’s office (2017). In this article the authors mentions a press release about a man murdering a NYPD detective and how the man lead up to that murder. The other article from psychology, “Personality and Social Psychology: Crossing Boundaries and Integrating Perspectives” was created by two psychologists, Snyder and Deaux (2007). These article mentions the differences and similarities…
In Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream (1963)” speech, he addresses the idea that in order to fulfill the premise that “all men were created equal,” the people of the nation must work together to move past the injustices inflicted on African Americans in order to ultimately grant them their civil rights. King’s claim is supported by first repeatedly alluding to historically renowned milestones in the fight against oppression and illustrating numerous metaphors to create an emotional connection with his audience. King’s “dream” that he frequently mentions is the nationwide unification to work toward a common goal in order to bring integration of all races and coexist without oppression. By establishing his goal, he creates an earnest tone for the people of America working toward cutting the “manacles of segregation and chains of discrimination.”…
Rhetoric is the aim of persuading the audience by using reading, writing and speaking through communication. It gives us a better understand how and why we respond to certain messages. Also how we are persuaded to believe what we believe, and how we can persuade others to share our beliefs. Rhetoric involves how to make arguments and what kind of writing will make you argument most convince your audience or reader. Andrea Lunsford, professor of English at Sanford University said that getting your message across in a way that ethically persuades your audience. It also means protecting yourself from harmful massages and this requires critically evaluating the rhetoric we encounter through the myriad mediums of communication that surround us…
The electoral cartoon that I chose was the one about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. It show’s the two presidential candidates running at the moment playing twister. It’s my belief that the artist of the comic wanted to portray the pair as being malicious while also being childish about the election. I believe this because many people consider that the both of them have been handing the election unjustly and with aimless disputes. The cartoon depicts the two of them playing a game of twister with pungent expressions on their faces. The game of twister ultimately represents how they’re debating recently, similar to how children would in a kids game. Their sour faces illustrate how they argue about many topics and views, usually unprofessionally…
In today’s political climate, comical discourse criticizing political candidates is not uncommon. On the cover of The New Yorker’s October 10th, 2016 issue, is a comical political cartoon criticizing the current Republican candidate, Donald J. Trump. In this picture, it displays Trump as an overweight model walking down a runway with many onlookers gazing upon him. Trump is drawn the attire of a beauty pageant contestant, which includes: a dress, high heels, earrings, crown, and sash. Trump is also holding a bouquet of flowers in his right arm, while in his left arm, Trump is holding up his crown. In the cartoon, Trump also appears to have a sad facial expression. Trump has his eyes closed, while tears create makeup streaks that flow down his…
After a year of focused work in English 250, I feel that I have developed the skill to articulate what I want to convey to the reader in multiple ways. My strengths as a reader have also definitely improved after reading the material we had this semester. We discussed several different aspects of the English language and spent a good amount of time this semester perfecting our ability to write rhetorical analyses. Doing so allowed us to focus a lot of our time on the WOVE method of communication and become better communicators.…
In the United States, about, “45.3 million” people live in poverty (Current). A man by the name of Matthew O’Brien wrote an article called Poverty Is Literally Making People Sick Because They Can’t Afford Food, published in 2014 in the Atlantic. He argues that the poor people are becoming sick due to their inability to pay for their necessities. Necessities such as food. O’Brien starts out with his article connecting himself to his readers, then he uses reputable sources, citing statistics, and talking about possible solutions in helping poor Americans. O’Brien uses rhetorical situation, audience, and genre, pathos, logos, and ethos in order to make an strong article about what poor Americans are facing because they can’t afford to buy food. One of his solutions is to have an increase in government resources for the poor.…
“The Carnivore’s Dilemma”, an essay by Nicolette Hanh Niman, incorporates rhetorical elements, such as logos, ethos, and rhetorical questions, in an attempt to convince the audience that meat itself is not the root of global warming. Written from a rancher’s point of view, the essay relies on studies and logic to prove itself. Niman starts out with a short acknowledgement that the meat industry has a hand in the increasingly noticeable global climate change. She then quickly changes gears, stating that the studies that show the meat industry is a major player in global warming only take the prevailing methods of producing meat into account and spews facts that show the flip side of the food industry.…
Composing my argument of inquiry was a lot more complicated than composing my rhetorical analysis. For my argument of inquiry, I had to the annotate my sources before I could synthesize them into an essay. My essay was organized by the different viewpoints accompanied with the supporting evidence I found. In my rhetorical analysis, I divided my essay into: the appeals Wacquant was making and the overall persuasiveness of the piece. However, I found it really difficult to organize these ideas. There was no synthesis needed in this essay. My writing process usually begin with annotation of my source(s) and/or detailed outline of my essay. I found that pre-writing works for me because I don’t do that my essay usually ends up not being cohesive…
Well-known Sci-fi writer, Ray Bradbury, in his novel, Fahrenheit 451, illustrates that relationships reflect who individuals are and who they want to be. Bradbury’s purpose is to promote the idea that a person should have the courage to listen to their own beliefs and thoughts of happiness rather than to blend in with society. He adopts a disoriented and poetic tone in order to appeal to similar feelings and experiences on a non-realistic scale in his young adult readers.…
According to the 100A assignment sheet for the rhetorical analysis, a rhetorical analysis (R.A.) is a type of writing which analyzes a professional document, text, etc. of a writer. In this assignment, students have opportunities to improve their writing skills and develop their abilities in identifying the rhetorical strategies a writer uses to achieve his or her purposes in a professional document. My audiences for this analysis are my classmates, my instructor, and other faculty members on the 100A portfolio committee.…
