I Deserve An Explanation: A Textual Analysis
I was not able to get my audience. Everybody that I know, including friends, they are at least 200 miles away from where I actually live. And I could not get a stranger either to come to my home and be my audience. A few years ago this would have been very easy, but now everybody is busy with life, old and far away, including myself indeed. However, I do not mean to bore you to tears, but it deserves an explanation as it concerns my

    A Rhetorical Analysis Chapter 4

    Chapter 4, we learned the various aspects of an audience, when preparing a written or electrical document. How did I consider my audience needs and interests as I developed the presentation about Great Calls marketing strategy? I put myself in their shoes and considered the expectations that a manager of a large cellular company would expect. I recognized their time is valuable and I would need to be quick and direct. I also thought that I would have to put together a presentation that was professional and eye catching and brought valuable information to helping them direct the company to a new solution to increase customer attention. Who was my audience? The people I am presenting to are five managers of Genuine Cellular, who I assume are…

    In Defense of Darkness Rhetorical Analysis

    In Holly Wren Spaulding’s essay, “In Defense of Darkness,” her main claim is that we have fallen away from darkness and immersed ourselves in a society of lightness. Furthermore, she claims this has lead humans to lose touch with basic human emotion as well as the sensual and spiritual experience true darkness has to offer. Spaulding makes this claim evident through exceptional use of personal testimony and copious appeals to value.…

    Bcom 275 Knowing Your Audience Research Paper

    Knowing your audience is a critical component of public speaking. Understanding the group of people who are receiving the message is second in importance only to the message itself. A poor understanding of your audience can lead to a poor delivery of the information that you need to get across. In regards to the Chilean Copper Mine Collapse, there are many factors to take into consideration when releasing the information to the public. Speaking from the perspective of the announcing the incident, one must note the different roles and people in the audience. The families of the miners and the employees of the company must receive the…

    Story Of An Hour Rhetorical Analysis

    Kate Chopin's story, "The Story of an Hour" is an ironic short story of a wife in the late 1800's. The story is only a few pages long and in doing so Chopin writes a story filled with kernel's (events that have important causal chronological coherence) with very few satellite's (events not logically essential to the narrative action). There were no satellites that I could find while reading the text; I found every word written essential to the narrative, the progression and the conclusion of the story.…

    Story Of An Hour Rhetorical Analysis Essay

    Published in 1894, “The Story of an Hour,” has endured longer than the title would indicate and is a declaration of the support of independence for women from its author Kate Chopin. Having read this story before in other courses, and having spoken at length about how Chopin was in support of the idea of woman’s suffrage even before the suffrage movement caught hold, this story leaves a lasting impression and resonates deeper with me every time I read it. Chopin uses her work to illuminate the joy of independence and the oppression that marriage can bring. Whether intentional or unintentional, her message is not only meant for women but, extends to men as well. It is a timeless theme that anyone can learn from in every age. By her use of various literary elements such as, structure, and style, and the use of rhetorical devises such as pathos Chopin creates a work that provokes deeper though and asks a reader to delve into the emotional struggle of her character Mrs. Louise…

    How To Be Patient And Wait Rhetorical Analysis

    Lewis further argues that he will not wait and be patient like his forefathers before him and all the brothers that he stands with at the moment, he wants to be free, and he wants his people to be free now, a saying that does not go unheard by all the audience that is listening to him. Lewis illustrates to the audience once more, “We are tired. We are tired of being beaten by policemen. We are tired of seeing our people locked up in jail over and over again.”(para 7) In summary, Lewis is saying that he is worked up as well as all the African Americans of being treated as second-class citizens, that they are treated as animals, caged up so the world won’t see their malcontent. Lewis is again repeating his rhetorical technique of anaphora, in which he puts to good use as he repeats being tired time and time again of seeing people of color locked up and in jail for no particularly good reason, even if they didn’t commit a…

    The Meaning Of This Hour Rhetorical Analysis

    I chose three essays from The Signet Book of American Essays based on the sections that appealed to my interests. In “The Meaning of This Hour,” Abraham Joshua Heschel claims that the world is a world living inhumanely because there is a lack of God’s presence and glory. George Plimpton’s “Desperately Seeking Humor” describes the great lengths a group of comedians and writers went through to put a humor section in an edition of a magazine, as they all believed that comedy was an important part of society. Erma Bombeck argues in “Warning: Families May Be Dangerous to Your Health” that while it is believed the American family is at its downfall, she feels there are actually many traits that give the American family potential, such as education and the pride of parents.…

    As a young child i learned early on how info can be corrupted and distorted through a classroom game i use to play called telephone. In the game you would start off with a message and try to make it around the room with the same message, surprisingly we barely ever got through without messing up at least something. And if you think about it that game represents society and how it can corrupt your message. I think that information can easily be corrupted and that it happens in our everyday life.…

    My Rhetorical Analysis

    Composing my argument of inquiry was a lot more complicated than composing my rhetorical analysis. For my argument of inquiry, I had to the annotate my sources before I could synthesize them into an essay. My essay was organized by the different viewpoints accompanied with the supporting evidence I found. In my rhetorical analysis, I divided my essay into: the appeals Wacquant was making and the overall persuasiveness of the piece. However, I found it really difficult to organize these ideas. There was no synthesis needed in this essay. My writing process usually begin with annotation of my source(s) and/or detailed outline of my essay. I found that pre-writing works for me because I don’t do that my essay usually ends up not being cohesive…

    David McCullough Jr., the son of a Pulitzer Prize winning historian, was a teacher at Wellesley High School. In June of 2012, he made a speech at the commencement ceremony for the graduating class of Wellesley High School. On this day, he gave these teenagers a very unexpected reality check. The argument of this speech is that each and every one of them students is pretty much just another statistic in our harsh real world. Throughout this speech, he gives statistics of the depressing realities of life. He also tells them repeatedly that they are “not special”.…

    I sit down in my comfy red seat at Academy of Theatre Arts in Williamsville, NY. I look around and see that the house is full. Not one seat was empty. In those seats I see people of all ages with happy, excited expressions on their faces. This got me very excited for the show that was about to be presented for me. I am very anxious for the show to start and suddenly the lights dim, the overture music begins and the curtain opens……

    The Crucible Argumentative Essay

    People have different perspectives of the importance of life. Some believe there are some things worth dying for in life such as faith, legacy, friends, and family. Some believe that life is too precious to sacrifice. John Proctor believed that his life was worth sacrificing and he chose to die in The Crucible. Though the character of Proctor is often praised for his integrity, is he helping his family by dying? His wife, sons, and unborn child will have to make it in the world without him. This is not an instance that would ultimately be worth dying for. What has John accomplished by dying? It seems as if the Salem witch trials have gotten the better of him and he has given up. Although he may have forgiven himself and been forgiven by his wife, there was not enough at stake for John to sacrifice his life. John even says, “I want my life” (Miller 127). There are some things that are worth dying for, however, in John Proctor’s case, life was not worth sacrificing.…
