Rhetorical Analysis Comparison: Jefferson and Stanton
Jefferson begins by stating that when one decides that it is time to break political connections with another body that they should declare what compels them to the separation (Jefferson 1). Stanton begins almost identically by using Jefferson’s model and declaring that when women feel that they are not being given their god given position on earth, they are compelled to state why they feel that way (Stanton 1). The target audience that Jefferson was aiming for were residents of the colonial states in the mid-18th century, this is apparent by Jefferson calling the King of Great Britain a tyrant (Jefferson 1). He then begins

    Claiborne F. Jackson, the Governor elect of Missouri, who supported the candidacy of Douglas in the State canvass, made a very remarkable speech in the Breckinridge Convention recently held in Jefferson City. The meaning of his language on that occasion is a question in dispute between the two Democratic factions. This much, however, is certain, that the assembled delegates were delighted with the speech, and cheered it; that a brief report of it, which has appeared in the Bulletin, the Breckinridge organ in this city, indicates that it was hostile to Douglas; that the Republican has not dared to publish the full report furnished by that journal’s own reporters; and that the speaker invoked one of the factions to the support of his administration…

    Context: Thomas C. Foster addresses to the audience that the actual act of sharing a meal means so much more than what it seems to represent. He goes into different stories in literature when there’s a meal going on or a get-together if you will. Without even having a conversation, through the descriptive phrases used by distinct authors, one can utterly unfold what the author is trying to discreetly tell. It’s one of those tools that in order for the reader to comprehend what’s being indirectly portrayed, he/she must be able to “catch the little detail”.…

    Booth begins his paper by defining rhetoric as “every conceivable resource, good or bad, for producing any effect on others”. In other words, he argues that rhetoric is present in any action one takes to influence how others perceive a situation or issue. He then goes on to explain that rhetoric is often considered successful if the speaker manages to garner support for the issue he is arguing, regardless of technical mistakes that may have been made. Attaining this support in times of war has traditionally been relatively easy, as the speaker’s primary task is to invoke a sense of patriotism in his audience. The ease of this task used to be provided by fact that speeches were aimed at a localized audience, eliminating the need to make an attempt…

    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.…

    In my rhetorical analysis I analyzed Banneker’s comparison of pre-revolutionary war to slavery, religious references, and tone. I selected Banneker’s descriptive use of imagery to compare the pre-revolution to slavery, because this comparison struck me as a crucial aspect to his argument. Banneker needed Jefferson, a privileged man who never experienced the life of a slave, to feel a personal connection to the situation. By creating a comparison to something that Jefferson had a crucial role in, Banneker attempts to do just that. I fould this comparison an especially powerful way to start of a letter, because it almost forced Jefferson to continue reading, as it brought his life into the equation. Next, I choose to analyse Banneker’s use of religious references because I felt that these references strengthened Jefferson’s connection with his argument against slavery. I especially focused on the quote from Job because I think it made Banneker’s argument more clear and comparable. Jefferson could read Job’s quote and make a connection the the situation of slavery, and thus understand slavery better. Finally, I choose to analyze Banneker’s tone because his tone…
