    Rhetorical Analysis Of I Am Not The Wise Old Fish

    Wallace applies many rhetorical devices of persuasion to make his points sound convincing and his past experiences allows him to appeal to ethos, which highlights the speaker’s credibility. In the beginning of paragraph 2, Wallace tells his audience that “if you're worried that I plan to present myself here as the wise, older fish explaining what water is to you younger fish, please don't be. I am not the wise old fish.” By admitting that he is “not the wise old fish”, Wallace establishes his credibility in two distinct ways. First, he demonstrates that he knows what he is talking about and secondly, Wallace moderates his audience by not pretending to be someone that he is not. Another way how Wallace uses ethos effectively is stating that…

The narrator doesn’t want to come right out and say he is intelligent, but expresses it in the way his superintendent spoke of him “Gentlemen, you see that I did not overpraise this boy” (286). The narrator says “I delivered an oration in which I showed that humility was the secret, indeed, the very essence of progress. Everyone praised me and I was invited to give the speech at a gathering of the town’s leading white men” (278). He was very well spoken and presented himself as such.…

    Booker T. Washington In Invisible Man

    Invisible Man, by Ralph Ellison, is filled with symbols and representations of the history of African-Americans. One of the most important and prevalent of these symbols is Ellison's representation of Booker T. Washington and the Tuskegee Institute. Throughout the book Ellison provides his personal views and experiences with these subjects through the college that TIM attends, the college Founder, and Dr. Bledsoe, the president of the college. Ellison uses these characters and other images and scenes related to Washington to show his disagreement with his backward ideals and to convey his theory that, "In order to deal with this problem [of emancipated blacks] the North"¦built Booker T. Washington into a national spokesman of Negroes with Tuskegee Institute as his seat of power"¦" (O'Meally 23).…

    Rudeness in America

    After every conversation, my head is continuously nodding up and down attracting the intention of my English professor. It’s almost one hour of the class and I am trying my best to be safe, since I haven’t done finishing the reading the last chapter of the book "The other Wes Moore". The discussion in the class had made me more excited to finish the last conclusion of the two people with same name but different lifestyle. However, once I finished reading it is easily understandable that if someone focuses on studies and their future leaving crime world, they can be successful and can fulfill their entire requirement. The book "The other Wes Moore", tells "the story of two boys living in Baltimore" who shares a similar life history within the "same black community", in addition to having identical names. Written by Wes Moore, it recounts the real life stories of the two "Wes Moores", the different journeys and destinies of their life. One Wes Moore ends up as a "phi beta kappa graduate of the John Hopkins University", a "white house fellow", an "army officer" and as the co-author of the book. The "other Wes Moore" ends up as a thief, drug dealer and "a convicted killer"; a sharp difference in comparison to the life of the Wes Moore. As can be seen in the book, it is not luck that determines their different fates in life, but rather a number of factors that could also ensure other African Americans succeed as opposed to failing in life. Moreover, the choice of factors and the way of utilizing them of the author Wes Moore were different compared to the other Wes Moore.…
