    The author did a magnificent job to persuade my thinking toward health care system in the United States that health care should be considered as a fundamental right to all U.S. citizens. The author’s essay was easy to follow, well constructed, and straight-forward to his topic sentence. Writer had a strong introduction, supportive points, and a conclusion. The author provided enough facts to support his /her argument regarding health insurance should be accepted as basic right for all the U.S. citizens just like education. Health care converges are very expensive that a normal person cannot effort. I like the fact he presented in his/ her writing that even citizens with health insurance will still end up paying out of their pocket. Insurance companies more concerns about their profits than providing health coverage. There is always a waiting list or have to wait in line to see a doctor even if you are covered by insurance. The entire U.S citizens have to stand up and fight for their rights. I also realized that the author did not use any I statements, which means the author is not bias. That is true that having health care system to the U.S. citizens will save many lives and courage the health of all Americans.…

    Persuasion In Everyman

    • 1719 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Van Laan also states in his analysis of Everyman that in between all the episodes of asking his figures for help and company, that he is alone on stage. Van Laan refers to this act as, “a visual representation of increasing loneliness.” This can be seen as a direct example of performance theory. Everyman was alone and in solitary in between having conversations with the allegorical figures, especially Fellowship, Cousin and Kindred, Goods and Good Deeds. In the play, Everyman is alone to show that he is slowly accepting the fact that he may have to face this journey alone. None of the figures wish to accompany him on this terrifying pilgrimage. Everyman’s holds his reactions to each denial of company in complete soliloquy. One may interpret…

    What is Rhetoric? If you ask a college age adult that question the chances are that they will not know the definition of the word. Some of them might recognize it in as one of their freshmen classes but most do not know. The internet and social media has taught us to believe that rhetoric is for “old people” and nobody uses it any more. How then is a single video of police violence, taken from a specific perspective, used to influence the entire world and incite them into rage? If Rhetoric is such an old school concept why is it that most facts found online are false (LaFrance, Adrienne)? Society need to acknowledge the influence of rhetoric and begin to question any information given to them in this world of knowledge.…

    Our everyday routine falls victim to persuasion whether we choose to allow it or not. Our conscious is seduced somehow during the day and many times the persuasion is out of our control. But in situations where you can be in control of the persuasion, wouldn’t you aspire to be? An argument is a dispute you have with someone who disagrees with you about something, but you have the opportunity to change their mind. An argument is where you can have the higher ground with persuasion, if you know how. Rhetoric is the art of persuasion using semi-deceptive literary techniques. The practice of rhetoric could put you at an advantage over others during an argument because it is not an art that is valuable to many people anymore, but it is astonishingly beneficial.…

    First Person Persuasion

    • 130 Words

    Throughout the speeches both presidents get their audience’s attention by using first person singular, first person plural, and second person point of view. Jefferson uses first person singular in all the paragraphs, except 3 and 4 when he talks about the 13 principles the government should follow. He uses words like “I”, “me”, and “myself” to lay out his vision of America and the government. Kennedy on the other hand, uses first person singular to allude to his experience in combat. Jefferson doesn’t really use second person point of view, but he did at the end of paragraph 5 when he says, “your indulgence”, “your support”, and “your suffrage”. Kennedy is similar because he only uses second person once in the beginning and a lot in the last…

    Sitting around thinking about writing a paper or speech can be very nerve-racking, especially around deadlines. How do the first people learn to write in the world? What guidelines did they have to follow that we must now follow in our own? One can look upon the works of Aristotle when it came to writing, as he studied rhetoric. Rhetoric is the study of speaking, and almost an art (Using Ethos, N.D.). Aristotle is famously known for the writing of Aristotle’s Rhetoric, a book that broke down speaking and elegant writing into several key components, of them being pathos, logos, and ethos. My first class at college was called Rhetoric, and while it was an English class, I had no idea what pathos, logos, and ethos were until that class. It was the first thing we studied in the class, and since then, I have been able to write more efficiently and effectively. Can these three ideas and concepts really improve someone’s writing? I believe they can, and I would like to demonstrate to you how each of the three are used today. Aristotle studied rhetoric on the basis of three key terms – ethos, pathos, and logos – and they are crucial to the art of writing and speaking.…
