Mr. Peters: Quote Analysis
I chose this quote because after Mr. Peters said this to me I began noticing it all the time. Every time a student was called on, or Mr. Peters showed them his answers on the board several students would erase their own answers and copy what the other student or Mr. Peters had said. This really opened my eyes to how these students have such low confidence in themselves. I’m 99% sure that most of those students had correct answers, but they didn’t think so because it wasn’t what they were told.

    Ta-Nehisi Coates Quote Analysis

    Ta-Nehisi Coates poses an inquisition about how Whites haven't made the past right. Coates states simply that Whites never truely made it up to the Blacks for slavery. The Whites had just said, "we meant well" and moved on. Coates brings this up by comparing the Whites "good intentions" to a sleeping pill. The idea of "good intention" is seen throughout history, not just American but worldwide. But how could one apologize for the past and make it right with those wronged? It's near impossible question to answer. Because how does one apologize for something that is like slavery?…

    Bryan Stevenson Rhetorical Analysis

    In all honesty the first draft needed a lot of work, the first thing I revised on my paper was the thesis. I did not read the assignment instructions properly the first time, causing my entire easy to be focused on a completely different topic than what was asked. Then I took Professor Astocio’s e-mail comments into consideration and included in my essay why people should care about this argument. My peers suggested Bryan Stevenson should be mentioned in the first paragraph instead of the second, their advice was useful. Altering my first paragraph allowed me to focus my attention on the ways Stevenson used rhetoric, rather than on him personally and a summary of the things mentioned in his Ted Talk. Finally, the last things I revised included…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Mr. Fox

    We are able to see pathos, logos, and ethos throughout Mr. Fox’s entire testimony. He begins by using pathos, establishing that he is well known and reflects on the first time he admitted that he suffers from Parkinson’s; he states, “When I first spoke publicly about my eight years of experience as a person with Parkinson’s many were surprised, in part because of my age […]” (Page 1 Paragraph 3) and right away he uses ethos to explain why “many were surprised”. We continuously see logos in the first couple of paragraphs. Mr. Fox addresses the “profound and progressive” changes in his life and makes clear why he kept them secret from the public. He felt that he had a task, as a public figure, to “soldier on” (Page 1 Paragraph 4). When he was…

    Elie Wiesel Quote Analysis

    The times of the Holocaust may have been the most unjust decade known to the world. Elie Wiesel was a talented American Jewish writer and Holocaust survivor. He had the heartbreaking experience of facing discrimination against different races, including his. He said, “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” I think that the beginning of this quote suggests that there will be scenarios in which groups of people will be helpless to stop injustice. While, the rest of the quote means we can not give up without trying. An example would be a shooting an innocent man because of race. The family may be helpless to voice their opinion, but others will peacefully protest.…

    Florence Kelley Speech Rhetorical Analysis

    In America, there used to be unfair laws and regulations regarding labor. Children are put to work in harsh conditions, conditions often deemed difficult even for adults, and are forced to work ridiculous hours. Florence Kelley gave a speech at the National American Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia on July 22, 1905. In her speech, Kelley uses repetition, pathos, imagery, logos, and carefully placed diction to express how child labor is morally wrong and inhumane.…

    Kindergarten: A Quote Analysis

    A famous basketball player once stated, "In order to become better, you must push yourself to do the things you could not do yesterday." This quote supports many different aspects of life. Once one thing is mastered, you must keep going in order to grow and improve. In order to grow in intelligence, talent, and in life in general, you must go out of your comfort zone. For example, Kindergarten is the first big step a student takes to learning. In this grade, I began learning the alphabet and small numbers. Just six years later, I started putting letters and numbers together in basic algebra. If I had stopped learning after completing the alphabet, I would not have made in very far. Instead, I went beyond the what now seems like…

    The Crucible Quote Analysis

    In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the couple, John and Elizabeth Proctor, undergoes a series of complications that only continues to aggravate the already thinly veiled relationship they have. Their strife begins with John Proctor, a stern farmer of good faith, who is only concerned with any matters that either benefit or potentially scar his reputation. John, however, is of good faith only in the faces of the public. He conceals one dark secret to the public; he had an affair with Abigail, who used to be John Proctor’s servant, but was fired seven months ago when John’s wife exhumed the truth. John’s affair had caused great turbulence in his marital relationship with Elizabeth ever since. The couple now has a very unstable relationship because Elizabeth is very skeptical of John, as he has been seeing Abigail lately in Salem, and John is trying to reconcile for his actions. John feels that he is being “judged for lies” by his wife every time he comes back from a trip to Salem, although John is desperately trying to accommodate for his actions such as his endeavors to “please [his wife]” (Miller 52). Elizabeth on the other hand feels that since her husband had already cheated on her once, he could be inclined to do it again. Therefore, Elizabeth can no longer love John the way she used to, and she speaks in a cold and dispassionate manner towards him, making innuendos of John’s sinful act with Abigail. For instance, as John converses with Elizabeth after returning home from Salem, he “gets up, goes to her, [and] kisses her,” but Elizabeth “receives it with a certain disappointment,” which evinces that she is still distraught from the incident seven months ago (Miller 48). As both John and Elizabeth continue to struggle in their fragile relationship, tensions may become worse as Abigail becomes more and more desperate to be with John; she believes that John still has feelings for her and will do whatever it takes to be with him.…

    1. Inadequacy: As Biff goes through life, he never actually commits to anything. He never shows his full potential. Biff has had insufficient jobs such as a shipping clerk, a salesman, and a businessman only to discover that life is only a “manner of existence.” He is also an insufficient worker. When Biff worked for Bob Harrison, he would whistle in the elevator like a comedian. A big businessman cannot raise a young man to do a responsible job when he acts that way.…

    A Brave New World Quote Analysis

    Everyone wants to feel as if they are in control of something. The idea of not knowing what may happen next can drive someone insane. There is a certain satisfaction that comes along with having control, one which everyone craves.

Soma is supplied to society to induce a state of relaxation before sexual intercourse and dying. Sexual intercourse amongst many people is encouraged to avoid emotional attachment.
