9th Grade Rhetorical Analysis
Hello Mrs. Soliman,

Brandon's dad was glad he got to chat with you during Back to School Night again this year. We know Brandon has spoken with you a few times concerning his tests and quizzes. His dad and I are very concern with Brandon's latest quiz results and how his grade has been plummeting. We see his work, and see that he does fine, when it comes to understanding his AP Calculus homework. We also see him putting in numerous hours studying for the AP Calculus class tests and quizzes, but yet he is doing very poorly on them. We are surprised considering he maintained an A or A- in all his high school math courses, including Algebra 2 with you. We did not think he would do worse in AP Calculus.

We are reaching out to you for your professional

    The purpose of this assignment is to pick a particular rhetorical message (that is, a message that attempts to persuade you to do or to believe something) and analyze the content of that message to determine the purpose, intended audience, argument, persuasive strategies, and modes of appeal that the message employs. In order to do this, I will assign you an image/video (I call it an artifact) from science/engineering – students in Jordan’s tutorials will have to analyse this image:…

    Chapter 4, we learned the various aspects of an audience, when preparing a written or electrical document. How did I consider my audience needs and interests as I developed the presentation about Great Calls marketing strategy? I put myself in their shoes and considered the expectations that a manager of a large cellular company would expect. I recognized their time is valuable and I would need to be quick and direct. I also thought that I would have to put together a presentation that was professional and eye catching and brought valuable information to helping them direct the company to a new solution to increase customer attention. Who was my audience? The people I am presenting to are five managers of Genuine Cellular, who I assume are…

    Secondly, the guileless tone of the book soon turned out to be extremely annoying and played to why the book was as unconvincing as I found it to be. In all honesty, I could not believe that a nine-year-old boy from a German family has never heard about the Jews, or wasn’t even the slightest bit aware of what was thought of them. Even if his parents tried to guard him from the war, which was definitely shown by Bruno's parents, he needed to at least understand the situation a little more for this book to be the least bit believable. Bruno's complete ignorance of the Führer and the fact that Germany is at war is hard to…

    I appreciate the time that you took in emailing me to inform me you were my son Shay's principal. I left a voice message and sent an email to you on 5/16/2016, also I did try contacting again on 5/17/2016. Do to not being able to make contact with you yet I decided sending an email explaining the importance of needing to speak with you. Shay has been recommended for retention which I disagree with the recommendation. Therefore, speaking with I believe we will be able to find the best solution for this matter. Holding Shay back is not helping him but apunishment. Shay is entitled to a free appropriate public education, therefore if Shay is that far behind I would believe his IEP is not working and it's time to update and amend it.…

    After a quick read of the passage from 3.540-587, one may assume that Satan is only concerned with viewing the beauty of the newly created earth. However, after a closer analysis and look into the language actually used in the passage, it is revealed that the sun is a more prominent figure in the passage than the earth. Therefore, Milton use of words and images throughout this passage convey the message of the stark contrast between the good the sun does for the earth and the earth’s future inhabitants, albeit being an inanimate object versus the evil Satan will do to the earth, even though he is a living, breathing creature. Since the sun is an inanimate object, the use of it in this passage is actually just a metaphor for God and His goodness and the love He has for His creation of earth.…

    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.”…

    I am sitting by the fireplace and just thinking about life in general when memories from elementary school come flooding back. I am writing this letter to you, because I feel very guilty when thoughts of your son cross my mind. To this day I wish I knew better and stood up for your son when I needed to, because I could have saved an innocent life. Not trying to make excuses, but when I was in elementary school I knew nothing better, except the fact that, you go with the flow or else you become an outcast. I could still clearly remember the first day Matthew started going to my elementary school, and just because he looked different all of us decided he did not belong. He would come to the kids and ask them in such a nice and polite way if they wanted to play with him, and in response kids would say something nasty, no elementary kid should ever say. I remember boys throwing rocks at him during recess, and a bunch of girls standing by and laughing. Yes, I also did stand by and watched, but I never encouraged the boys on or laughed, because I was thought better by my parents. My parents tell me all the time no matter how the person you come in contact with acts, you show your best side to them, because at the end of the day were all the same and no one person is better than another. One day in particular, I remember Matthew needed to go to the bathroom during recess, and the immature boys decided to take advantage of this situation. They ran to the bathroom, and blocked him from going in. He begged so much, I can still hear his voice so clearly in my head to let him go. Not being able to hold it in any longer he did it his pants, and the situation became even worse. There…

    I am quite excited to further pursue DOCC's goal of open dialogue once on campus. Nurturing a viewpoint-tolerant environment gives me hope for the future, wherein I hope that both mine and my fellow peers' viewpoints are questioned. While many college students are left-leaning, I firmly believe that all students should feel free to share their opinions.…

    Dave Chappelle returns to his hometown of Washington D.C. in the year 2000, during his tour around the country, to perform for the people of D.C. During his show “Killin’ Him Softly” Chappelle effectively uses rhetorical strategies by engaging his audience, understanding the culture he is addressing, as well as exemplifying the problem with racial stereotypes and the disparity of police brutality between the African American community and the white community.…

    “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.…

    I believe that the rhetorical strategy of narration is both seen differently in the article, “Unnatural Killers”, by John Grisham and the article, “The Case Against College Athletic Recruiting” by Ben Adler. Both appeal emotionally to the reader but one is a lot more logical in its approach then the other.…

    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.…

    In this lengthy article “Guns Don’t Kill People, the Mentally Ill Do,” that was published in the Townhall Daily, the author, Ann Coulter, argues about a major prevailing issue today, gun control. She believes the problem isn’t the guns themselves, but the mentally disturbed people. Coulter credits the declining mental health system as the main setback. She supports her argument by providing tragic examples from mass shootings that took place in the past. One example was the 2011 shooting that took place in Tucson, Arizona where the shopping mall shooter, Jared Loughner was so obviously disturbed that he stated “If I stay long enough to make the yearbook, I will be voted the Most Likely to Commit Murder.” She also explains the most recent shooting that happened at Sandy Hook Elementary. The shooter, Adam Lanza, first shot his mother on the morning of December 14, 2012 because she supposedly was trying to have him committed to a mental institution, which is what triggered his rage. After he cold-bloodedly killed his mother, Lanza progressed on to Sandy Hook Elementary and proceeded to murder twenty children and six administrators.…
