The claim that the farmer is using in this video is that "Fatter , Bigger, and Cheaper" livestock isn't better than grass-fed livestock. The rhetorical appeal they used in this video is Logos due to the everything they talk about that is a system for farmer markets and farms. Some evidence that shows he used logos, is when he talked about the way they grow their livestock is in disagreement with the USDA when they have been successful by paying attention to the ecological problems. The USDA kept using the performance of how sanitary they are even thought they had an average CFU of 130. They also grow animals that are mainly grass fed which is way better than corn-fed cows along with taking care of the heavier harvest, transport of cows, food,…

In an article titled "Stay-at-home-dads" Glenn Stacks addressed the topic from a different view. Sterotypes for gender roles could be harmful to the relationship a couple has. Starting off the stereotype of men being the provider of the family causes them to focus on their career to ensure the safety of his family. This cause the other partner to focus on raising the children. Who is to say that the male and female want those roles, maybe the women would be happier if she was working and the male happier if he was at home with the kids. As Glenn states with his own family, both partners are happier taking on the role of the other gender. Glenn's wife had a career that she was very interested in and Glenn didn't want to miss all the first his…

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…
“The Children’s Era” was delivered in 1925 and was written to promote the use of birth control. Sanger says, “When we point out the one immediate practical way toward order and beauty in society, the only way to lay the foundations of a society composed of happy children, happy women, and happy men, they call this idea indecent and immoral.” Sanger tries to make her audience understand that too many children are born to parents who are ill prepared for them and/ or don’t want them, thus setting these children up for failure from the beginning. Sanger points out that many of these children will end up in “the ever- growing institutions for the unfit” or “behind the bars of jails and prisons” because they will be raised by parents who don’t care enough about them to give them a proper upbringing or cannot afford to give them a proper upbringing.…
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’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…
The Three Rhetorical Appeals are the three main points by which people are influenced, and it allows you to effectively evaluate different texts and arguments for their oratorical strategies. The first, Logos, is the method of reason, logic, or facts. Any type of argument which appeals to someone’s rational side is appealing to logos. Second, Ethos, an approach of credibility, authority, or character, appeals to demonstrate the author’s expertise, trustworthiness, and honesty and tries to put the author in a more positive position to the audience. Lastly, Pathos, this is a strategy of affect and emotions. Pathos appeals to an audience’s emotions of anger, excitement, or sorrow. These three points are important to the audience to analyze the…

Singer’s article criticizes factory farms for industrializing their farming practices and sacrificing good animal husbandry practices for increases in production. Singer indicates the ridiculous amount of animals affected by factory farm mistreatment by stating “[t]he use and abuse of animals raised for food far exceeds, in sheer numbers of animals affected, any other kind of mistreatment” (“Down on” 19). Singer evaluates the reasoning behind factory farmer’s unethical practices, and concludes that “farming is competitive and the methods adopted are those that cut costs and increase production” (“Down on” 20). By cutting costs and increasing production rates factory farming industry workers accumulate more wealth, and consumers are able consume more meat then physically necessary. One can evaluate this luxury the “Principle of Disproportionality” which states that “[a]ctions that meet nonbasic or luxury needs of humans are prohibited when they aggress against the basic needs of animals” (Sterba…
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.…
In modern day America, our culture has begun to revolve around traveling and moving from place to place. Never staying in one place long enough to get to know the land. It is because of this new trend that Wallace Stegner wrote his essay "The Sense of Place." In this essay, Stegner informs us that the only way for us to feel a sense of place is for us to submit ourselves to the land; he does this using many techniques such as: figurative language, use of a personal anecdote, and the use of second person.…
