Migrant People Rhetorical Analysis
The message of the story, CONFORM PEOPLE, CONFORM! Get used to living with nothing because that's all you're going to get. We're the wealthiest nation in the world but that wealth is only for some people, not you huddled masses, working stiffs. $30K a year breaks down to about $15 an hour and change, pathetically something like 47% of our working population in the U.S.A. earns less than that. In some parts of the country $30K would be an okay income, but in any of the major cities and that is a joke, unless like here, you have plenty of helpful perks. People giving or leaving you money when they die (which is a sad way to get it). Or you're living like a poor migrant worker, six people to a room, sharing one bathroom, living on crackers and …show more content…
Sadly, it's like most people don't, or didn't pay attention to the very brief opening that pretty much explains what the Constitution is all about. Then you'll hear idiots saying the only thing our government and President is supposed to do is protect us. No that's not the only thing they're supposed to do. That's propaganda, spin doctor crap. In case you didn't see it or pay attention to it, here is what that brief introduction to the Constitution says. Pay attention to the parts about INSURE DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY, and PROMOTING THE GENERAL WELFARE. When those parts are ignored we have what we're experiencing now, a few people obscenely wealthy, while millions of our citizens are poor, or working poor and our country is crumbling. We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect UNION, establish justice, INSURE DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY, provide for the common defense, PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE, and secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America. An economy that allows all working people to earn a decent livable wage would be living up to our …show more content…
Yet, if the economy takes a dump, even though that money is theirs, unless they're 59.5 years old or older, to withdraw any of THEIR OWN money for necessary expenses, they'll have to pay a 10% penalty. Why is that? If you listen to the Wall Street propaganda it's to deter people from taking out their own money for wasteful purposes, they're concerned about peoples retirement. Yet they're not the least bit worried about those same people losing their jobs if it's boosting some companies stock value and profit margin to benefit the markets. Real reason for the 10% penalty, they have your money and they're going to do all they can to keep it, and their lobbyist were able to easily get that penalty put in place.. Personal responsibility is of course a number one priority, but when the real economy is shrinking to benefit the few in the crooked scam of the stock market economy, that alone doesn't cut it. We should be striving to make the world a better place for everyone, not just the few that are screwing over everyone

    In The New York Times article, “Deportation Nation,” writer Daniel Kanstroom reveals the unfair side to President Obama’s Dream Act. Most Americans find it humane to allow people who were brought to the U.S. as minors to obtain residency, but are unaware of the unethical deportation of those who have committed minor crimes. His purpose is to help readers become aware that thousands of people have unfairly been deported back to dangerous countries without hope of returning to the only place they know of as home. By establishing a credible character appeal and providing emotional artistic and inartistic data, Kanstroom succeeds at creating sympathy for the immigrants that are being expulsed for nonviolent crimes they committed in the past.…

    The analysis I made was based on Douglas McGray’s article “Lost in America”. You did a great job mentioning where the article can be found and giving a brief summary of the article at the beginning. It helps the reader understand the main points of the article. However, you started your introduction with “Douglas McGray, in Lost in America”, which is a very common attention-grabber. Unfortunately, because of its frequent usage, it becomes boring or less interesting to readers. You should try to start in a more creative way like a statement meant to surprise or amuse readers. The strategies you used to address the thesis statement was not very effective since your paper lack’s a purpose and you did not specify the audience. Also, it would be…

    Ethos: Victor Rios immediately establishes his credibility by describing how he was one of the very troubled teens he is speaking about. By doing this, he shows us that he understands the topic he is discussing and has a unique perspective and ability to see the issue. Moreover, because he was one of them, he is unlikely to give us false information about the issue. He also shows that has the best interests of this group at heart because he was part of this group. Indeed, he has a vested interest in the wellbeing of these teens and has no reason to lie to us about them. Rios has a lifetime of knowledge at his disposal, and he makes this clear. In addition, he speaks with confidence and no notes which establishes that he has…

    Until the 20th century it has been understood that the framers of the constitution were “for the people”. Revisionists of the 20th century are painting an entirely different picture. They “argued that the Constitutional Convention was dominated by an elite and that the Constitution itself is an instrument written to protect elite interests.” (Fisk 2014)…

    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.…

    Well-known Sci-fi writer, Ray Bradbury, in his novel, Fahrenheit 451, illustrates that relationships reflect who individuals are and who they want to be. Bradbury’s purpose is to promote the idea that a person should have the courage to listen to their own beliefs and thoughts of happiness rather than to blend in with society. 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.…

    The American people have been known from the start for a strong Constitution created to protect the rights of their citizens. As culture evolved, our interpretation of the document has shifted with it, but the document itself and its fundamental concepts have not. The Constitution has protected the basic rights of all citizens, and has granted us certain privileges that allow us to uphold the democracy and the government that serves the people. Some of these include the right to vote and the ability of citizens to maintain their status.…

    Influenced by the King of England, the Founding Fathers specifically constructed the Constitution to prevent a government from establishing a system of injustice or oppression. This primarily included excessive, illegitimate taxation; which is now the current scenario. American Society was content with the new country that had been formed, and motivated to maintain the values it was built upon, throughout generations. Eventually, time had rightfully eroded the original motivation to preserve America, and citizens were no longer content with only the country in itself; considering the age and times at peace. In modern day America, wealth is the primary motivation for all, including the government and politicians all the same. It has now come to a point at which nearly any connection to the values upheld in early America is foreign and depleted. The Constitution is viewed as a mandatory, dreaded rule book, limiting possible profits. It has become a nuisance for politicians, cooperatively and slowly finding and creating loopholes. This demonstrates the natural tendency to revert to greed without constant prodding, and the methods extended for self-fulfillment.…
