Matt Mcgorry: Rhetorical Analysis
Matt McGorry who is known for his role in ABC’s “How to Get Away with Murder” and Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black” is campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Like most A-list celebrity and headliners Beyonce, Katy Perry, Anne Hathaway, Miley Cyrus and more, McGorry canvasses in State College to explain why he is supporting Clinton as the next United States President.

Last week, Matt McGorry proceeds to State College in the Penn State community. McGorry stands firm in his decision. He believes that Clinton has the power to make change. The actor stresses that if there is anyway he can help to swing votes, he will do it. And he chooses the college town that holds over 105,000 residents to make his point. Although Pennsylvania is already leading with Clinton’s name, he chooses State College because he found more Trump voters there than in other places.

He tells his experience about yelling out of cars to find out who people are voting for. According to Collegian, McGorry found a lot of Trump voters. Which is why he is making his stand about choosing Clinton.

    Some examples of fallacies in this speech came about immediately in the beginning. Candidate Kane said “With one purpose only, to point out and make public the dishonesty, the downright villainy of Jim W Getty’s political machine.” Using this kind of fallacy put negativity in the audience’s mind about Getty. When the announcer welcomes Kane onto the stage he uses bias by announcing Kane as the next Governor of the state even before he was elected or won. Kane uses a rhetorical device when he says that he made no campaign promises so he has a chance at winning and he now can make them. He then proceeds to argue how Getty has less than a chance and he supports this by stating that every vote and independent poll shows that he will be elected. Kane’s argument was valid because it had everything to do with the upcoming election and it made a valid point. His argument is also strong because he used facts and the result of actual poll’s to support his conclusion.…

    Throughout the tragic novel Into the Wild, author Jon Krakauer provides an in depth analysis of the life and lonely death of Christopher McCandless. McCandless was a young man straight out of college, looking to find himself while hitchhiking alone in the bush of Alaska.

    Rousey endorsement of Sanders prior to her biggest match ever is indication that she should have focused and trained harder instead of weighing in on presidential politics. Now Rousey is not an undefeated UFC fighter, Bernie is happy with the endorsement but might now win the nomination and everyone is still confused to why Rousey would endorse such a person. Hey if Sanders needs to go on the offense and get rough to beat Hillary, he might as well call Rousey. Maybe she can K-O Hillary in 14 seconds or lose in the second round like she did with Holm.

    Sand between my toes and enjoying some sun while gathered around with a group of friends is what I call, a definition of a great time. The ad Tampax Pearl from Seventeen magazines sells the product through the use of rhetorical fallacies logos, ethos, and pathos. There are six fallacies, and throughout the magazine they are represented by the text, the women in the white bikini, and the beach: false cause, hasty generalization, non sequitur, and appeal to ignorance, false authority, and bandwagon. In the background are the sounds of waves clashing against one another, the sun beginning to lower, and the scent of a bonfire. The game of limbo used as an entertainment to influence laughter, and competition spread to one another.…

He adopts a disoriented and poetic tone in order to appeal to similar feelings and experiences on a non-realistic scale in his young adult readers.…
