Daddy By Stelling Rhetorical Analysis
He placed himself in a vulnerable position, like a sea lion sitting on a measly rock in an open sea with a great white shark surrounding him. The instructor had the right to correct the misunderstanding of Richard, on the other hand, her choice of words and tone of voice were unforgivable. The overwhelming emotion to buy himself a daddy by quintupling his original amount caused him a grave mistake followed by a lesson he did not expect to learn at that moment. Her patience came to a halt when he offered a donation from his “daddy”. She then proceeded by slapping him with the cold truth by saying, “We are collecting this money for you and your kind, Richard Gregory. If your daddy can give fifteen dollars you have no business being on relief”,

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.

    In their movie The Secret, the filmmakers attempt to inform their viewers of a powerful concept in which they refer to as The Secret, or the Law of Attraction, and how to use it. They aim to convince everyone who watches the movie that the secret is real. They show many examples of people who have effectively used it. Throughout the movie, the rhetorical strategies ethos, pathos, and logos are used. First, they use the appeal to authority, which is ethos, to make their audience trust them. In the movie, Bob Proctor and Rev. Michael Beckwith have captions under them while they are talking that say what their profession is. As do all of the other people who speak in the movie, whether they are a philosopher or financial strategist. All of the…

    David Zinczenko is the editor-in-chief of Men’s Health magazine and the author of numerous best-selling books. Zinczenko is a man known for his work; his work and credibility shines bright because he has contributed op-ed essays to the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and USA Today. He has also appeared on Oprah, Ellen, 20/20, and Good Morning America. The fact that he is so accomplished in the area of eating healthy shows just how credible he is when it comes to discussing fast food vs. the eater. Zinczenko believes that the fast food industry is partly at fault for the growing rate of obesity. Although Zinczenko’s background and accomplishments gives us the evidence we need to know in order to trust his judgments, his emotional way of getting his points across make a difference as well. In the beginning of the essay, Zinczenko tells us about himself and how he grew up with troubled parents who weren’t together, and with very little options of what to eat for lunch and dinner every day. He explains that his options were mainly fast food, which caused him to be an overweight teenager. In other words, he uses his story of himself as a teenager growing up with family problems to draw people in and get them to sympathize with the overweight teenagers and get them to see that it is not all their fault and that it is, in fact, partly the fast food industry’s fault. One of his final arguments is that without warning labels on fast food industry products, we will see more sick, obese children and more angry parents.…

    John Steinbeck’s purpose of the excerpt with Alice and Cathy subsists on Cathy that finds a place to get away from her enemies, being lonely and hated by the world. In order to make his purpose expedient he writes, “Alice was her friend, always waiting to welcome her to tininess. All this so good-so good that it was almost worthwhile to be miserable. But good as it was, there was one more thing always held in reserve. It was her threat and her safety. She had only to drink the whole bottle and she would dwindle and disappear and cease to exist. And better than all, when she stopped being, she never would have been. This was her darling safety.” He claims by saying this that, Cathy intended to succeed through imagination and escapement, where she became small and would enter another dimension to befriend Alice from Alice in Wonderland. John’s intended audience signifies people interested in the novel Alice in Wonderland, or a suggestion would be someone who has a compassionate imagination in becoming lost, to escape such problems, such as Cathy. John Steinbeck, author of East of Eden, published in 1953, in the excerpt of Cathy and Alice in Wonderland, asserts that Cathy has a way to escape.…

    This essay argues that the Globe and Mail (G&M) article, ‘Don’t Teach Until You See the Whites of Their Eyes’ (18 August 2012), is persuasive with its primary target audience of G&M readers. Clifford Orwin, the author of this article, is a professor of political science at the University of Toronto. Furthermore, the main focus of this article deals with the fact that: “Real education requires real teachers and students, not disembodied electronic wraiths.” Through the rhetorical analysis of this editorial, this paper will demonstrate that its persuasiveness can be attributed to four key aspects: through an emphasis on the use of deliberative stasis; its use of ethos and logos; and through its effective use of rhetorical imagery. Before the case can be made for understanding how and why this article is persuasive, we need to begin with setting the context of the issue or exigence to which the article was responding and whether that response was timely and appropriate.…

    In South Central, Los Angeles, there is a food epidemic taking place among the population. For miles and miles, the only easily attainable food source is fast food; causing the overconsumption of un-nutritious, greasy, and fattening food. This is the problem brought to the public’s attention by speaker Ron Finley in his Ted Talks speech, “A Guerilla Gardener in South Central L.A.” Finley explains how everywhere he looks in his native South Central, all he sees are fast food chains and Dialysis clinics opened due to the lack of nutritious food. Finley views the lack of a healthy food source as a serious problem, and brings up his point; there are miles of vacant lots throughout Los Angeles, all of which could be used for the cultivation of healthy fruits and vegetables to better the urban community’s diet and health.…
