In his speech, John Kasich talks about how is father was a mailman and how he carried mail on his back. His father knew everybody on his mail route and how he would celebrate with everybody from birthdays to funerals. His grandfather worked in the coal mines and the government would rip him off from the paychecks. His grandfather had no control and the government could take advantage of him. John says the town he grew up in, people found they were out of work. People don’t have a decent wage increase in a long time and all their bills are going up. After he finishes his story, he tells the crowd how he will fix this and his views.…
In the early spring of 1986, The Challenger was scheduled to launch in the morning from the Kennedy Space Center. The Challenger had seven passengers. One of these passengers was a Christa McAuliffe, a social studies teacher from New Hampshire. She was the first ordinary citizen to be going to space. The social studies teacher had won the opportunity through NASA’s Teachers in space program. The spacecraft was in the air only seventy-three seconds before it exploded and broke apart into the ocean. Everyone was in shock. All the passengers were killed tragically. This put a horrible mark on NASA’s reputation. Some even wanted to close the exploration to space. American was in mourning and everyone felt the blow of the tragedy. However, President Ronald Reagan saw it fit to continue space exploration. He gave an argument and a tribute to America and the families of the lost passengers. His tribute swayed American to see the silver lining in the tragedy and understand why we must continue the journey to explore space.…
In order for Kasich to move up in the polls, he needs to present himself in the most desirable way possible. By sticking to mostly acclaims, Kasich highlights all his positive attributes while the other candidates display…
My first impression from watching the film was the relationship between the study’s prisoners and guards seemed friendly at first. Though they’re encouraged by Zimbardo and his associates to take the experiment seriously and to invest themselves fully in their roles, the subjects initially still understand that they’re not really in a prison but then, the experiment takes a turn when a guard named Christopher Archer begins to embrace a meaner personality one, in which I suspect from watching the experiment, is not his normal demeanor but, rather, a more boosted version of himself of which he perceives to be his role. Archer introduces an element of meanness to the proceedings, altering the prisoners’ mindset the prisoners start to feel dehumanization…
This paper analyzed two articles from different fields of studies, then compared and contrasted them for rhetorical elements. One from the field of criminal justice and the other from the field of psychology. The criminal justice article, “DA Vance: Tyrone Howard Convicted of Murdering NYPD Detective Randolph Holder” was produced by The New York District Attorney’s office (2017). In this article the authors mentions a press release about a man murdering a NYPD detective and how the man lead up to that murder. The other article from psychology, “Personality and Social Psychology: Crossing Boundaries and Integrating Perspectives” was created by two psychologists, Snyder and Deaux (2007). These article mentions the differences and similarities…
Emanuel Jal not only tells his stor, but he makes his audience feel as if they are there in the villages with him. Jal gives a brief peek into his story at the beginning of the book. He used this to catch the readers attention and make them want to know every detail of what he went through. Jal says, “In the peaceful village we once knew, rockets blow apart houses with families inside, women are raped, and children are murdered.”(2). Jal’s description of what the war is causing around him pull the reader to read more. As this passage is read the mind begins to imagine everything listed. The mind feels the heat of the explosion, sees shame filled eyes of rape victims, and smells the dead bodies of hundreds. This passage shows a time lapse from…
One of the most important things that some candidates don’t have is experience. It takes great experience to become an exceptional leader and this is perhaps one of Kasich’s biggest assets. One example is his experience as a member of The House of Representatives for 18 years from 1983 to 2001, while there he was a member of the Armed Services Committee and chairman of the House Budget Committee. During his time there he helped support the Balanced Budget Act in 1997. Another example of his experience is that he has been elected governor of Ohio twice. In 2010 John Kasich was elected governor of Ohio, during his time there he helped balance budgets and bring uninsured rates down.…
It occurs every four years, the United States is in an election cycle. During this campaign season, however, has been unlike any election ever taken place in modern history. Beginning with a large pool of candidates, the primary elections, primarily among the Republican party took an extremely negative unexpected turn. Many voters feel that the remaining candidates for both Democratic and Republican party are very disappointing. The two parts appear to be strongly divided and in deep turmoil. Who has inspired me as a voter, and who has put up the best, and most honest fight to be in office is Bernie Sanders…
Authors Becky Herz, and Kim Phuc wrote essays that not only touched hearts, but also made people take a different look at life and those around them. “The Long Road to Forgiveness” and “My Husband Will Call Me Tomorrow” are two essays that use literary devices such as pathos, imagery, ethos, and repetition to effectively tell their stories. By using different rhetorical and literary devices in their writing they were able to make an impact with their words. Words are very powerful weapons in the battle of making a point and trying to make sure that people actually understand that same point. In Herz’s “My Husband Will Call Tomorrow” she was able to use repetition as well as visual devices to effectively tell her story. Her use of these devices allows the reader to be able to connect and see things from her level. Phuc’s essay on the other hand, was able to evoke gut-wrenching emotion, just using devices such as imagery and details about to make her story credible.…
Dave Chappelle returns to his hometown of Washington D.C. in the year 2000, during his tour around the country, to perform for the people of D.C. During his show “Killin’ Him Softly” Chappelle effectively uses rhetorical strategies by engaging his audience, understanding the culture he is addressing, as well as exemplifying the problem with racial stereotypes and the disparity of police brutality between the African American community and the white community.…
My mother has told me since I was a child, “Conversation before confrontation. You must use your words to solve differences before violence.” That saying has always stuck with me since the first time I heard it. In keeping it close to my heart, I have grown to live by those words. Before any source of conflict can arise, I take the pacifist route to try and solve differences instead of letting hate overcome a more peaceful direction.…
I believe that the rhetorical strategy of narration is both seen differently in the article, “Unnatural Killers”, by John Grisham and the article, “The Case Against College Athletic Recruiting” by Ben Adler. Both appeal emotionally to the reader but one is a lot more logical in its approach then the other.…
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 republicans are Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, and John Kasich and the democrats are Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders (2016). Each candidate has their own slogan, which they use to represent their entire campaign. Ted Cruz’s slogan is Reigniting the Promise for America, Donald Trump’s is “Make America Great Again”, John Kasich’s is “K for US”, Hillary Clinton is “Hillary For America”, Bernie Sanders is “A Political Revolution Is Coming” (InsideGov 2015). Each motto is different because each candidate is different, yet each of them whole-heartedly believe that they are change America need for our next…
“Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real…. They will not be met easily…”(Whitehouse archives) I stood in awe while others cheered. “The minority had a voice at last.”(Paula). I finally saw more good in those that surrounded me. I saw suddenly, election night. The numbers pouring in, and the news. “The news was careful about their predictions this time, actually were slow about it.”(Paula). And words i didn't think i would hear brought me back to the world of an amazing man.…
