While the visual, rhetorical, and literary analysis includes references to asking questions and making observations, certain exercises were mind conditioning to speak and write with practice accordingly as the art of listening and reading critiques a course for the Analytical Research Paper. The visual analysis is most impressive considering many times are in quiet togetherness. Since discovering the techniques during Writing Analytically, life can be ISRS according to Dr. Ainsworth, which is highly unusual and further complicates the dissection because PTSD is intensely theatrical. Whatever holds interesting about the writings implies how much of the unknown is yet to learn; comparatively, Writing Analytically is not a natural born talent.…
The Three Rhetorical Appeals are the three main points by which people are influenced, and it allows you to effectively evaluate different texts and arguments for their oratorical strategies. The first, Logos, is the method of reason, logic, or facts. Any type of argument which appeals to someone’s rational side is appealing to logos. Second, Ethos, an approach of credibility, authority, or character, appeals to demonstrate the author’s expertise, trustworthiness, and honesty and tries to put the author in a more positive position to the audience. Lastly, Pathos, this is a strategy of affect and emotions. Pathos appeals to an audience’s emotions of anger, excitement, or sorrow. These three points are important to the audience to analyze the…

Facebook in Mache’s eyes was never at the top of its game. It was a spiral downwards towards the impending loneliness of society. Technology has never run as rampant, and for so long, such as Facebook has. It is a cancer of society, and instead of making us closer together it is making us much farther apart. Mache starts off his essay very strong with an enduring story that catches the readers eye. Mache makes it a goal to play on people’s emotions and uses examples that do just this in his essay. It is effective in catching the reader’s attention but also is a great way to convey a sense of emotion and connect directly with the reader. Statistics are also used frequently throughout Mache’s essay, they serve to enrich the paper and really help…
After reading “As a Weapon in The Hands of The Restless Poor” one can feel motivated to help those in need. Earl Shorris appeals to emotion when he talks about creating a program to start to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate. He starts out the story to say he is writing a book which makes him an author which is an example of ethos because he seems reliable. Shorris then states that the poor have been “Cheated” which is substantially true because the rich were given the opportunity to succeed more as someone who is poor and cannot even afford to feed themselves. In order to help the less fortunate out he has to create a program to help the poor succeed. After a Rhetorical analysis of “As a Weapon in The Hands of The Restless Poor” by Earl Shorris one can conclude that most people take for granted even the little things in life, if one were to open their eyes and see there are many people who do not have a dollar to their name, and we have so much that we tend to lose focus on helping the less fortunate succeed in the world we live in today.…
Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, is an act of desperation and fear to criticize the defamation of early Salem, his generation, and future generations to come. Miller argues how his play is to show everyone how fear bends one’s morals; “Much of my desperation branched...from a typical Depression...the blow struck on the mind by the rise of power European Fascism and the brutal anti-semitism it had brought to power” (Miller). He provides examples of “the hunts for Reds in America”, referring to hunts for communist, and the extermination of Jews in Germany. The hunt for witches was an act of fear and greed, in the early 1600s in Salem-to deflect accusations on others, gain land, or revenge on a neighbor. Miller also goes into depth with his…
Reflection of rhetorical trategies Asyndeton: I used Asyndeton because I wanted to describe the word change with words that are equally important and emphasized that way. When reading this sentence I wanted the reader to understand that change is all of those words that describe it, no word is more important than the other. One of the successes I had using this strategy is that it beautifully addressed my point, that change is a scary thing. My challenge using this strategy was that because I do not use it often it felt awkward to me, at first.…
Iago also uses the rhetorical strategy of logic to poison the thoughts of those around him. This method is especially used in conversations with Othello in order to manipulate and deceive him greatly. The way in which Iago uses logic is through fact-based arguments. He uses past occurrences to make predictions on present events – an approach that is likely to be believed since it is rooted in rationality. An example of this tactic being demonstrated is when Iago says to Othello: “She did deceive her father, marrying you” (3.3.206). Iago is implying that since Desdemona deceived her father, someone whom she loves and respects far more than anyone else, she could very well be deceiving Othello. This statement by Iago gives rise to feelings of…
