Elephants Helping Trunk
The information from the different texts is presented to the reader through a variety of ways. First, in the article “Elephants Can Lend a Helping Trunk" by Virginia Morell has a picture of elephants to help the reader have a better understanding of what is happening. The picture helps the reader understand by clarifying how the objects in the experiment were set up. Second, in the passage ¨Elephants Know When They Need a Helping Trunk in a Cooperative Task" Joshua M. Plotnik has a visual of a graph to assist the reader in the understanding of the passage. The graph provides more information about the length of time between the release of the first and second elephant. By showing this graph the reader has a better understanding of what the

    Visual Rhetorical Analysis: WWF

    When I first learned of the visual rhetorical analysis and began to read the accompanying instructions, not going to lie, I was a little worried. My first thought was “how am I supposed to talk, let alone, care enough about an image to write, at a minimum, 1250 words about it.” I mean they do say a picture speaks a 1000 words, but they don’t say anything about 1250. (This was all before we received the updated instructions, which by coincidence or not, changed the word count to 1000.) The next step in my process came when I initially saw the four images which we were presented with as options, and from the first glance I knew exactly the one I was going to write about. I chose the WWF’s representation of lungs and the environment because,…

    Killer Whales Rhetorical Analysis

    This is where pathos comes into play. Throughout the post, pictures have been placed. These pictures help appeal to the audience to get them to sympathize with the writer, and turn against those that support the idea of cetacean captivity. One example of these pictures, placed after the third paragraph, depicts a whale spouting blood out of its blowhole. This specific picture is used to shock the student and create a feeling of sympathy towards the mortally wounded creature.…

    The Borneo Pygmy Elephants Revealed In Walt Disney's Dumbo

    As Martin Buber once said, “an animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language”. As the years go by, numerous animals are becoming extinct by man’s lack of compassion. They used to roam freely, without fear, in the wild, although; with rising population, the wilderness is no longer their home. Therefore, the animals are forced to share their land with uncompassionate humans. One example is the Borneo Pygmy Elephant found in Southeast Asia. Their thriving population has diminished to less than 1,500 in the past years. An analysis of the endangered Borneo Pygmy Elephant shows their characteristics and habitat, what is threatening them, and how they can be saved.…

    Comparing Egos, Ethos, Pathos And Logos

    I haven't read something with many pictures for so long. It is hard to concentrate on the readings. I feel that by showing pictures in the reading help me understand what it is trying to say a lot better. Combining both pictures and words can let the people reading it more of a feel of what is actually going on. In this they have many pictures and good explanations of each. When we do rhetoric writing, we mostly want the reader to be interest in our writing and continue reading it. We have to persuade the reader to know what our points are and get the message we are trying to say. This reading talks about Ethos, Pathos and Logos. Each word were described in some sort of pictures. Ethos is about the credibility of what the author is trying to…

    Water for Elephants

    I chose the book Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I chose this book because I had watched the movie a long time ago and everyone says the book is always better than the movie. I knew I was going to like it because I love animals and I have always wanted to be a veterinarian just like Jacob in this book. I thought it was very inspiring how even after Jacob learns that his parents have been killed in the car crash and their home has been mortgaged to pay for his tuition and the house is not to become his home, he leaves his college right before he has nearly graduated. He jumps on a train, not knowing it is a circus train belonging to the Benzini Brothers. Jacob is nearly kicked off of the train but when the owner of the circus, Uncle Al finds out about Jacob’s training as a vet, he hires Jacob to take care of his circus animals. I believe it is was a miracle. Jacob is hardworking and does whatever he can to protect what and who he loves. Unlike some people Jacob was aware that August was a mean man that abuses the animals and the people around him, but comes off as a charming man, he felt he had to develop a guarded relationship to protect Rosie and Marlena. Jacob was an all around caring person, he helped people as much as possible like when he helped Camel who became paralyzed and the circus had no need for him anymore, Jacob knew August would kick him off the train so he took care of Camel until the circus got to the providence, which is where Camel’s son was located. I think that the message in this book is that when there is no hope left in you that you need to just keep moving because whether you believe it or not things will get better. That is what happened to Jacob numerous times in this book, he had a lot of tough times but he got through them eventually. I like that you can imagine what is happening in your head the whole time you are reading this book, but for example “Rosie stretches out her trunk, reaching for…

    Essay On Tim O 'Brien's The Things They Carried'

    Using imagery is a smart way to engage an audience and keep someone on their seat to keep reading. Tim O'Brien uses imagery to connect and entertain his audience in an effective way. “..not love letters, but Lieutenant Cross was hoping, so he kept them folded in plastic... after a day's march, he would dig his foxhole, wash his hands under a canteen, unwrap the letters, hold them with the tips of his fingers, and spend the last hour of light pretending.. He wanted Martha to love him as he loved her” (1). This quote gives the reader evidence that imagery can create a new picture and really help you understand a story in a deeper level. This is more suitable than using facts because using facts can not create a vivid, lasting picture in the reader’s mind.…

    Water For Elephants Research Paper

    Translating a novel into a film is not as easy as one may have thought. Due to time constraints, characters and/or scenes may be eliminated and therefore may not have the same impact as a novel, but this is not always the case. The Help written by Kathryn Stockett and published in 2009. The film version was released on August 10, 2011 by DreamWorks and directed by Tate Taylor. The cast includes Emma Scott (Skeeter Phelan), Viola Davis (Aibileen Clark), Bryce Dallas Howard (Hilly Holbrook), and Octavia Spencer (Minny Jackson). The Help in both forms is riveting and heartbreaking, as well as a racial awakening for some.…

    Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen is about an old man recounting his experiences in the circus. As an old man, Jacob Jankowski makes a decision to leave his nursing home and join the circus that has come to his town. After Jacob’s parents’ death during Jacob’s college exams, Jacob decides to leave college and hop on a train. He hops on a train that happens to be the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. He makes many friends in the circus and marries his love, Marlena. They start a family in the Ringling Brothers circus after the Benzini Brothers circus collapses. In the circus he gains family, friends, and tons of stories. When Jacob is in the Nursing home, his son, Simon, forgets to take Jacob to the circus. Jacob then decides to walk there himself from the nursing home. Jacob anticipates a joyful circus day and his forgetful son is not going to stop Jacob from enjoying that day. All Jacob wants to do is relive his adventurous past for a day, and when an opportunity to relive that adventure for the rest of his life is offered to him, Jacob takes it. The manager of the circus offers Jacob the opportunity to join the circus. Anyone would give up boring nursing home living for the circus.
