    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…

    Robert Ebert, columnist for the Chicago Sun, argues the lack of a real plotline in the movie, “Paranormal Activity 2,” makes the movie terrible. What makes people continue to go watch the paranormal activity series is the scare they receive when watching it. Ebert uses the repetition of the word “gotcha” instead of the word scare to lower the reputation of the movie so that you view the movie as childish. Also, Ebert comments on the unnecessary use of stating the time and day. He shows that he did not understand why the directors would state that there was a certain amount of “days before the death of Micah Sloat.” Ebert criticizes the fact by stating “What are we supposed to do…

    On this rhetorical critique, I will be talking about the driving community of the state of Florida. As we all know, Florida is infamous for it's terrible accidents. John Couwels and Vivian Kuo, journalists for CNN, prepared an article about the multi-car crash that occurred on January 29th,2012, where 11 people were killed and 46 others were injured. I chose this article because car accidents are a daily event in the state of Florida. However, the roads are spacious and for the most part, well designed. Florida drivers are being held accountable for the wreck due to their lack of safety precautions used while driving through a high fog/smoke area, caused by a nearby forest fire. This article is…

    In his novel Washington Square, Henry James uses a number of rhetorical and literary devices to employ, develop, and fully elaborate on the characters introduced throughout his novel. Each character is introduced after an interaction with the Sloper family, the activities of which are the main focus of the novel. After devoting two chapters to the establishment of the story background, James begins to introduce characters, usually opening their entrances into the story by giving a physical description or a background of that character. It is only after a character has entered into the story that James begins to develop that character and simultaneously the plot overall. The level at which James characterizes the individuals in the story paves the way for their interactions and…

    The analysis I made was based on Douglas McGray’s article “Lost in America”. You did a great job mentioning where the article can be found and giving a brief summary of the article at the beginning. It helps the reader understand the main points of the article. However, you started your introduction with “Douglas McGray, in Lost in America”, which is a very common attention-grabber. Unfortunately, because of its frequent usage, it becomes boring or less interesting to readers. You should try to start in a more creative way like a statement meant to surprise or amuse readers. The strategies you used to address the thesis statement was not very effective since your paper lack’s a purpose and you did not specify the audience. Also, it would be…

    Throughout the tragic novel Into the Wild, author Jon Krakauer provides an in depth analysis of the life and lonely death of Christopher McCandless. McCandless was a young man straight out of college, looking to find himself while hitchhiking alone in the bush of Alaska. Unfortunately for Chris his well anticipated venture turned fatal after a hundred some days alone in the wilderness. Jon Krakauer uses rhetorical methods for the duration of the book, which allows him to speak of Chris’s life with a sense of certainty. The reader thus trusts Krakauer’s narrative and somewhat understands why a man like Chris could head into unknown territory without a second thought. The author shows his qualification for writing about Chris by making comparisons with his own life and interviewing those close to Chris…

    Make America Great Again, Hillary for America, and A Future to Believe In, but what do these campaign slogans mean? Are they supposed to have a fixed meaning at all? Over the years as the political process has evolved politics have also become a key platform for narrative creation. Consequently, that creation of narratives may also be problematic because these campaign slogans and or sound bites, which will be discussed further into this series. The truthis that a text does not have a fixed meaning, as much as rhetorical critics would attempt to argue ideology is no longer a set of ideas and beliefs of a group or political party as the Merriam Webster dictionary suggest. Additionally, that definition has changed quite dramatically to mean the interpretation of ideals and beliefs of a group or political party key word there being ‘Interpretation.’And campaign managers know that and use that to their advantage. “Make America Great Again,” it purposely is open ended so that ideological narrative creation can take place. What does it mean? That’s just it, it could mean any amount of things to Trumps supporters, and however, the problem is that the rhetorical significance of these monikers is much less important than the idea of a great America. Politicians use these types of persuasive tactics by using an authority figures ethos or popularity and ability to speak.…

    Robert MacNeil’s article, "Do You Speak American?", was first published in USA Today Magazine, which is popular within the general public. I did notice that he limits the use of terminology that only very well educated individuals would understand. Therefore, it is safe to assume that his intended audience would be the people within the general public, who have a basic understanding of the English language. Throughout the article, he uses language that is usually used to educate, rather than argue, even though at times it does seem like he agrees with one side more than the other. Robert MacNeil's purpose is to deepen this audience’s understanding of the diversity of their language, and then he starts to persuade the audience into believing that the American language is becoming less…

    Stephen Colbert is an American political satirist writer/television host. On Aug 15 the author made a sarcastic video titled “People Destroying America” about losing traditional moral values in the United States. The Colbert’s Report’s sarcastic parody is not factual for religious people because it goes against their original morals and values. Yet this caricature parody is effective for people with different sexual orientation because gay Mayor Johnny Cummings helps Vicco, KY to become the smallest U.S. town to pass LGBT fairness ordinance, that allows gays to have equal rights.…

    After reading “As a Weapon in The Hands of The Restless Poor” one can feel motivated to help those in need. Earl Shorris appeals to emotion when he talks about creating a program to start to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate. He starts out the story to say he is writing a book which makes him an author which is an example of ethos because he seems reliable. Shorris then states that the poor have been “Cheated” which is substantially true because the rich were given the opportunity to succeed more as someone who is poor and cannot even afford to feed themselves. In order to help the less fortunate out he has to create a program to help the poor succeed. After a Rhetorical analysis of “As a Weapon in The Hands of The Restless Poor” by Earl Shorris one can conclude that most people take for granted even the little things in life, if one were to open their eyes and see there are many people who do not have a dollar to their name, and we have so much that we tend to lose focus on helping the less fortunate succeed in the world we live in today.…

    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…

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.…

    Do traffic signals make a difference when drivers are conducting their vehicles? In U.K. the roads have less signs and are smaller roads than in the United States. The United States has great amounts of traffic signals and symbols all over the road to make the driver more aware. In the U.K. accidents do occur but not that often has in the United States. In the Unites States every second there is huge amounts of accidents going on over the nation. John Staddon in his magazine article “Distracting Miss Daisy” tries to persuade that traffic control is making traffic more dangerous because we do not pay attention to the road, but to the signals.…
