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:…

The principle that was conveyed in Chapter 4 of Part 2 is to be a good listener and encourage others to talk about themselves. In order to express this principle, Carnegie uses an example between a young child and his mother; the boy stated, “...I really know you love me because whenever I want to talk to you about something you stop whatever you are doing and listen to me (83).” While reading this, I felt a connection to it in many ways; a time where I was not properly listening to somebody or giving them my full attention caused them to completely stop mid-sentence and refuse to continue the story. I refuse to let this happen again and from what Carnegie has showed me it is extremely important to show people that you care---one major way…
Hello Thinh! After reading your rhetorical essay, I agree what you said "media embrace the gender inequality and the idealism of a female body." People always see that the photos woman always appeared in movies, TV, magazines, who are in good shape, attractive and charming. It lowers the value of the women because people just appreciate their body and not appreciate their intellectuals. According to what you said "showing researched evidence (ethos), personal interview (pathos) and statistic (logos)", I can understand the purpose of the director that the film is more credibility and persuaded to the audience by using logos, pathos, and ethos. Overall, your essay is well organized, and it provides different sources as well as analyze what you…
When developing a presentation the audience becomes an extremely important factor to take into consideration. For starters, the audience will need to be classified and analyzed by the presenter. Take for example a meeting situation consisting of presenting quarterly sales information. The audience would most likely be identified as the managers, salespeople, and customers – varying audience. When presenting sales information to a varying audience, the presenter has to transform the material according to the different members of the audience. Therefore, the presenter will need to know the material well and must select the words carefully so as not to confuse, annoy, or alienate anyone in the audience. Following this further, the presenter should evaluate the demographics of this very diverse audience. Characteristics such as ethnicity, age, culture, and gender should be considered. Apart from these particular characteristics, the level of education and knowledge of quarterly sales information should also be appraised. Similarly, the presenter must consider which communication channels are appropriate for each group (Locker &…
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.…
Logos is displayed when the author says “I calculate there may be about 200,000 couple whose wives are breeders; from which number I subtract 30,000 couple who are able to maintain their own children . . . there remain 170,00 breeders. I again subtract 50,000 for those women who miscarry.” By using numbers in calculating the number of children on the streets, he shows logic. He also shows logos when he says, “a child just dropped from its dam may be supported by [their mother's] milk for a solar year, with little other nourishment.” He is straightforward and explains that a mother can support their child naturally for a year. He uses pathos when saying, “three, four, or six children, all in rags and importuning every passenger for an alms.” He paints a heartbreaking picture of children struggling. Also, when he says, “it will prevent those voluntary abortions, and that horrid practice of women murdering their . . . children”. This evokes an emotional response from those who are against abortion, and says, “Hey, my idea saves kids from this”. He uses ethos when he says, “[it] would deserve so well of the public as to have his statute set up for a preserver of the nation”. This makes it seem as though he is just a civil servant, trying to make things the best he can for the nation. He seems to be saying, “You can trust me”. Finally, when he says, “I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection”. He comes across stately and subdued, like someone you could…
Ronald Reagan 's Farewell Address was an amazing example of conveying the fundamentals for freedom through an emotional and visual lesson. It is no wonder that the president known as the "great communicator" was successful in painting for us a picture of who we were, past and present, and the improvements in the areas of strength, security, and stability that this great nation, or as Reagan referred to in his speech of John Winthrop 's vision of it as a "city upon a hill", had achieved over the past eight years. This amazing example has even been considered one of the greatest speeches given by an American president. Tom Nugent, Executive Vice President and CIO of Victoria Capital Management, said in a recent article regarding Reagan 's Farewell Address, " I recommend that you access his address on the Internet where you can observe the greatest speech of any president during our lifetimes."1…
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.…
