Ode To My Sharpner Rhetorical Analysis
Ode to My Sharpener

Oh, Sharpener, so blue and fair,
How well you sharpen.
You make everyone glare
With your metal and your plastic,
Oh, so clear and shiny.
You are so fantastic.

The orange and grey enemy,
You will take on in battle,
To make it sharp and pointy,
To make it gleam.
Oh, Sharpener, how cool you are.
With envy, you make others scream.

    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…

    I don’t really want to write an essay this is more like an accumulation. However, if I were to have a thesis it would be something like: In chapter seven of The Awakening, Kate Chopin uses several subtextual techniques such as parallels, callbacks, and symbolism, to covertly convey an aspect of Edna’s sexuality that is, as the writer understands it, homosexual. By using these literary techniques in tandem with the strongly written friendship between Edna and Adele, Edna’s homosexuality can be unearthed from the subtext. (or something like that)…

    The effect of Eighner’s attention to language in the first five paragraphs shows the audience how knowledgeable he is. Most people have the common idea that homeless people have a high illiteracy or a lack of education, but Eighner is different from most homeless people. Eighner states that he, “wrote the Merriam-Webster research service to discover what [he] could about the word “Dumpster.” [He] learned from then that “Dumpster is a proprietary word belonging to the Dempster Dumpster company” (Eighner 107). His familiarity with this information establishes ethos. Throughout these five paragraphs it is revealing Eighner’s character as someone who is drawn well to his intellect and it stabilizes his credibility as a character.…

    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. Unfortunately for Chris his well anticipated venture turned fatal after a hundred some days alone in the wilderness. Jon Krakauer uses rhetorical methods for the duration of the book, which allows him to speak of Chris’s life with a sense of certainty. The reader thus trusts Krakauer’s narrative and somewhat understands why a man like Chris could head into unknown territory without a second thought. The author shows his qualification for writing about Chris by making comparisons with his own life and interviewing those close to Chris…

    Hello Thinh! After reading your rhetorical essay, I agree what you said "media embrace the gender inequality and the idealism of a female body." People always see that the photos woman always appeared in movies, TV, magazines, who are in good shape, attractive and charming. It lowers the value of the women because people just appreciate their body and not appreciate their intellectuals. According to what you said "showing researched evidence (ethos), personal interview (pathos) and statistic (logos)", I can understand the purpose of the director that the film is more credibility and persuaded to the audience by using logos, pathos, and ethos. Overall, your essay is well organized, and it provides different sources as well as analyze what you…

    “The Squint and the Wail” is an essay by Michael Hsu. Hsu, a Taiwanese American author and editor, wrote this essay in order to express his views on the negative connotations that occur with some of the racially charged objects present in society. More specifically, the essay deals with the stereotypical nature of The Chin Family. The Chin Family is the name of Stefano Giovannoni’s tabletop collection, which includes salt and pepper shakers that have the caricaturized facial expressions of Chinese people (Giovanni, 404). In this essay, Hsu talks about the appalling nature of the stereotypical features and how those features pose a derogatory inference to Chinese culture, but then reciprocates his views on the tabletop collection to a more neutral stance. Hsu’s main claim is that it is derogatory to exaggerate on the racial-specific physical features of a race and to present that exaggeration to the public under the guise of an everyday tool. Hsu’s piece shows race from a particular perspective and then compares that perspective to the perspectives of the individuals he associates himself with. Hsu’s persuasive approach can be broken down and interpreted by viewing his stance through ethos, pathos, logos, and mythos.…

    Reading the whole article, the biggest things that stood out to me was on page 63; “It usually takes a lobster between thirty-five and forty-five seconds to die in boiling water.” I took some time to think and at first I came up with putting a lobster into a boiling pot of water. But I couldn’t find the metaphor in that because that was the main idea I wanted people to see. So I decided to draw a healthy tree falling into a wood chipper and how when it goes through a wood chipper, the time it takes to actually shred the wood into pieces of bark has its own time process just like when putting a lobster into a boiling pot of water.…
