    Take a look again at high school stereotypes through the short lived television series from the late 90’s, Freaks and Geeks. Based on the pilot episode of Freaks and Geeks, media techniques are used effectively to depict the different stereotypes in high school. The camera shots & movements are used adequately to show the power of the bullies and the weakness of the victims. For example, when Sam Weir is approached by Alan (the bully), at lunch, the camera is pointed upwards towards Alan’s face to make him seem bigger and scarier while the camera would be pointed down on Sam’s face making him seem smaller and inferior to Alan (Kasdan 1999). This example…

    One of the main focuses of this class was rhetorical situation and analysis and I feel that this was the main area of growth for me throughout the semester. Walking into college and English-103, I only had a very vague idea of what a rhetorical situation even was, now I not only know how to identify it in various works, but also incorporate elements of it into my own essays and papers. In my video critique of the animated film The Ductators, I spend the vast majority of the paper summarizing the film but when I reach the second to last paragraph, I begin to rhetorically analyse the propaganda cartoon. At this point in the year I had already become comfortable with these topics and give examples such as “Apart from a few quick political references,…

    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…

    “The Squint and the Wail” is an essay by Michael Hsu. Hsu, a Taiwanese American author and editor, wrote this essay in order to express his views on the negative connotations that occur with some of the racially charged objects present in society. More specifically, the essay deals with the stereotypical nature of The Chin Family. The Chin Family is the name of Stefano Giovannoni’s tabletop collection, which includes salt and pepper shakers that have the caricaturized facial expressions of Chinese people (Giovanni, 404). In this essay, Hsu talks about the appalling nature of the stereotypical features and how those features pose a derogatory inference to Chinese culture, but then reciprocates his views on the tabletop collection to a more neutral stance. Hsu’s main claim is that it is derogatory to exaggerate on the racial-specific physical features of a race and to present that exaggeration to the public under the guise of an everyday tool. Hsu’s piece shows race from a particular perspective and then compares that perspective to the perspectives of the individuals he associates himself with. Hsu’s persuasive approach can be broken down and interpreted by viewing his stance through ethos, pathos, logos, and mythos.…

    She uses references to their neighborhoods, drugs, and shock factors to get their attention and make it stay on what she’s teaching. For example, on her second day of teaching, she changes her whole method. Rather than wearing formal teacher attire, she wears a leather jacket and matching boots. She starts off the class by asking about karate. Although it had no relation to what she was supposed to be teaching, she was able to get the students to open to her.…

    In Dinesh D' Souza’s essay, "Two Cheers for Colonialism,” he attempts to convince the audience about several concerns regarding colonialism and Western civilization. He employs various methods to make the audience see his point of view. He uses a lot of emotional appeals, humor, ethos, logos, and anecdotes to argue that the West did not become influential through colonial oppression. He says, "By suggesting that the West became dominant because it is oppressive, they provide an explanation for Western global dominance without encouraging white racial arrogance. They relieve the Third World of blame for its wretchedness,"(1) and "The West did not become rich and powerful through colonial oppression. It makes no sense to claim that the West grew rich and strong by conquering other countries and taking their stuff"(2). He uses rhetorical strategies such as evidence-based arguments like the one above, to make a strong logical appeal to the audience.…

    Sand between my toes and enjoying some sun while gathered around with a group of friends is what I call, a definition of a great time. The ad Tampax Pearl from Seventeen magazines sells the product through the use of rhetorical fallacies logos, ethos, and pathos. There are six fallacies, and throughout the magazine they are represented by the text, the women in the white bikini, and the beach: false cause, hasty generalization, non sequitur, and appeal to ignorance, false authority, and bandwagon. In the background are the sounds of waves clashing against one another, the sun beginning to lower, and the scent of a bonfire. The game of limbo used as an entertainment to influence laughter, and competition spread to one another.…

    Modern society has advanced into the age of technology, in which people rely on cell phones, music players, and even communicate through social networking. Facebook is the leading social networking site, and is the basis for Hal Niedzviecki's essay "Facebook in a Crowd". Two rhetorical devices do support the argument that is presented later in the essay, and they are humor and pathos appeal. Niedzviecki also uses a narrative form of writing to tell a story about a man with a near seven-hundred online friends on Facebook, but he does not know any of them. Facebook has become an issue for some people, and that becomes a personal issue for the narrator, that develops the argument being expressed throughout the essay.…
