    Analysis: Why Is Our National Government A Federal Democratic Republic?

    Why is our national government a Federal Democratic Republic? Well my most simple answer for this is. We are a Federal Democratic Republic because the citizens are the ones that have the power, and the government itself is ran through elected officials. Or at least that's what we like to tell ourselves. The politics of this country work in a peculiar way, since usually the person who has the most funded campaign, is the one who wins, and the ones who tend fund a politicians campaign usually happen to be big corporations so they can call in favors later. So to some extent our elections are bought. Whoever has the most money can travel to more places, make more billboards, bumper stickers, commercials, etc. they have more resources to tell…

    Why Do We Believe Texas Rightfully Belongs To Mexico

    We believe Texas rightfully belongs to Mexico for many reasons, some of those reasons being Spanish colonization, Mexican Independence, and annexation of Texas. Texas was originally inhabited by indigenous people long before European colonization. In the 16th century, Spanish explorers arrived and claimed the land for Spain, establishing settlements and missions. However, it wasn’t until Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821 that Texas became part of the newly formed nation. For a time, Texas thrived under Mexican rule, with a diverse population and a flourishing economy.…

    Linda Arndt Speech

    On September 17, 1999 Linda Arndt interview with ABC news Tunnel on what exactly December 26, 1999, the day Jonbenet body was found. During her interview she uses a great amount of Kairos describing the timeline on that day. She uses a timeline from when she arrived at the Ramsey’s house from when Jonbenet was found. Another rhetorical appeal she used in her ethos is logos, because she talks about who she believes killed Jonbenet Ramsey and want to convince the world who she believes killed Jonbenet Ramsey and wants justice to be served.

    When Ruth Handler first watched her daughter play with paper dolls, she noticed her making the young dolls act as adult or teenagers. In 1956, Rush visited Europe and discovered Bild Lilli. The German doll, Bild Lilli, was an adult-figured doll based off of a character in a comic strip, by Reinhard Beuthin, for the newspaper Bild.Lilli was described as a, “blonde bombshell.” She was 11.5 inches, with heavy make-up and full-figured with high heels as feet. She was to represent a working girl who knew what she wanted, and was not against using men to get it. She was first sold to adults in 1955, but soon children began purchasing the doll to dress her up in outfits that they could purchase separately. With Elliot’s connections to Mattel, Ruth found this as a doll making opportunity. The Barbie was a very difficult toy to make. It was very expensive to create, and it was a very explicit doll for young girls. As Ruth fought for this doll, Mattel secured the patent rights and the first Barbie doll made her debut at the American Toy Fair in New York…

    Commedia Del'Arte. Character Analysis and Traits of Columbina, Isabella, Arlecchino and Lelio.

    She walks as if she is skipping on air with a little flick of the foot at the end of each step. All her posses are usually seductive and accentuate her cleavage. Her movement continues during speaking, shifting balance from one foot to the other and moving her head sharply as if searching for someone other than the person being addressed. She's fast and nimble in order to escape unwanted attentions or to butt in, and can escape from a situation. She is happy and carefree, yet when assigned a task moves with speed and efficiency. This is one of her strongest traits in being a good servant. Her speech is sharp and gossipy with frequent variations of pitch.…
