In Jasmine Lopez’s persuasive essay video, the speaker was very well-spoken and kept her speech at a steady pace. I also liked how she would enunciate every word she spoke to make sure the audience was engaged and understood. Furthermore, the speaker’s opening line was relatable and provided a nice hook to start her speech. The speaker backed up her statements with factual data, which showed the audience that she was credible and passionate about her topic. As the speaker was saying agricultural terms, she made sure to define those terms.…
In this section, Hawthorne sets the mind-set for the "story of sorrow" that is to take after. His first passage acquaints the peruser with what some might need to consider an (or the) significant character of the work: the Puritan culture. The Puritan culture is symbolized in the main part by the plot of weeds developing so plentifully in front of the jail. By the by, nature additionally incorporates wonderful things, spoke to by the wild rosebush. The rosebush is a solid picture created by Hawthorne which, to the modern peruser, may aggregate up the entire work. In the first place it is wild; that is, it is of nature, inherent, or springing from the "footsteps of the sainted Anne Hutchinson." , using allusion. Second, as per the author, it…
This week, the two men who finished first and second in New Hampshire offered the tale of two Republican parties. John Kasich's speech that night offered the starkest contrast to Donald Trump's triumphant ugliness, scapegoating and division. "We're going to solve the problems in America not by being extreme," he said, but by "reminding…
Pastor Dave Galbraith talked with a loud volume with his booming voice, which could easily be heard by all members of the audience, especially with the use of a microphone. To show excitement, promote emphasis, and keep interest, his volume modulated at important points. His voice was clear and easy to understand, and used proper articulation or enunciation. I did not notice many, if any, mispronounced words. A couple of times, he did say, “uh” and “um” when he spoke, but they were very infrequent. Since he spoke at an average rate that wasn’t too fast or too slow, with adequate pauses, he was very easy to follow along with. His pitch was reasonable, and not too high or too low. His vocal quality was rich, full, and pleasant, rather than breathy or nasally. (C11)…
Well, this is blunt to say the least! Writing as being communication and not self-expression is all in a matter of one’s opinion. I detect, that Richard Peck my not like to waste his time on reading others feelings, thoughts, or ideas. In my assessment, this appears to be absolutely hypocritical of him. I myself appreciate reading about different people's self-expressions besides just my own. Therefore, by my observation of Richard Peck statement; it is just a mere feeling, thought or ideas he is projecting. So how ironic is his statement? In my conclusion, it’s bona fide irony.…
As a guest editor I was asked to review and analyze Dee Dee Myers article “What class warfare really looks like”, and either recommend it or not for publishing in The Shorthorn. After considering all rhetorical appeal in Myers’ writing, I concluded that it should not be read at large by the UTA community. Therefore I must recommend that it should not be published in The Shorthorn, due to the fact that Myers states the gap between the super-rich and everyone else has steadily grown. The rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer. I am sure everyone knows the strength of money. Myers raises a question here- are super wealthy people much smarter and productive than the rest of us? Everybody knows the answer…
Leaders of countries or Princes must make decisions that not many will agree with, but are the best for the populace and he must make them, no matter the cost. Niccolo Machiavelli uses logos, ethos and distinct clear diction to prove the necessity for a ruler to be able to make unpopular decisions, in an excerpt from his book “the Prince” (1532).…
Advertising companies constantly struggle with ways in which to differentiate themselves. “The more messages they create the more they have to create to reach us; it has led us to a vicious circle of clutter”. Companies strive to “break through the clutter”, which in turn just creates more of a mess. Companies use tactics such as guerilla marketing, an alternative plan to grab consumer’s attention. This method takes an “in your face” approach, something out of the ordinary. In “The Persuaders”, Frontline discusses such techniques and companies’ approach to influence consumers.…
It is a reoccurring problem that whenever an individual sets forth to do something they solely think in the present, rather than the future. This becomes a conundrum because in the end other people, or things, might be negatively affected. Rachel Carson, noted biologist, published "Silent Spring", a book that pertained to the environment and was written to change American'a attitude toward the environment around us. In "Silent Spring" Carson targets the hostile actions committed towards birds which result in other animals also being negatively impacted. Carson uses an array of rhetorical strategies, ranging from creating a serious and justified tone, to exaggerating the situation, and lastly by using rep it ion to get her point across. To begin with, the start of…
The rhetorical technique of the devil, who met young Goodman Brown in the forest used pathos. The devil convinced Goodman Brown by talking with him and also mentioned that he knew Goodman Brown’s grandfather and his father and even helped them for doing wicked things as well. Those of things betrayed the god. In that period, the puritans believed that all of humanity existed in depravity, but the god has destined some to unconditional election through unmentioned grace. For example, “his grandfather lashed the Quaker woman so smartly through the streets of Salem.” The devil persuaded Goodman Brown that people, even his grandfather, were evil. And the devil also persuaded Goodman Brown betrayed the…

I chose this word because the tone of the first chapter seems rather dark. We hear stories of the hopes with which the Puritans arrived in the new world; however, these hopes quickly turned dark because the Puritans found that the first buildings they needed to create were a prison, which alludes to the sins they committed; and a cemetery, which contradicts the new life they hoped to create for themselves.…
