Fred Vogelstein’s essay, “And Then Steve Said, “Let There Be An Iphone,” was surprisingly pleasing for me to read. Although the story seemed to be a more eye opening account of how the iPhone came to be, there was a sense in realization from me the reader. I’ve had heard that Steve Jobs was a stern working man that did not like to take no for an answer. The iPhone would be the golden standard of smartphones if they could present it without any glitches. Unfortunately, during rehearsal there were many errors while practicing to present the product. These men that worked on the phone to watch the practice realized that their jobs could be on the line. To their relief, the demo of the iPhone was a success. After reading this excerpt, I’d decided…
While the visual, rhetorical, and literary analysis includes references to asking questions and making observations, certain exercises were mind conditioning to speak and write with practice accordingly as the art of listening and reading critiques a course for the Analytical Research Paper. The visual analysis is most impressive considering many times are in quiet togetherness. Since discovering the techniques during Writing Analytically, life can be ISRS according to Dr. Ainsworth, which is highly unusual and further complicates the dissection because PTSD is intensely theatrical. Whatever holds interesting about the writings implies how much of the unknown is yet to learn; comparatively, Writing Analytically is not a natural born talent.…

We’re fascinated by the terrible things character's face and for years now, authors have evaluated and ridiculed the “perfect” society to share their concerns about humanity. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley presents a dystopian, emotionless and controlled world where all individuality is masked by their false understanding of “happiness”. Soma, is their armament against the effects of conflict and the only way to indulge in their inescapable life. True happiness is only possible through the perception and feeling of emotions, soma simply provides a distraction from the truth of a world gone wrong. In fact, it appears the plot, tone and characters from the novel all display examples of soma and the belief that happiness is achieved within.…
David Zinczenko is the editor-in-chief of Men’s Health magazine and the author of numerous best-selling books. Zinczenko is a man known for his work; his work and credibility shines bright because he has contributed op-ed essays to the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and USA Today. He has also appeared on Oprah, Ellen, 20/20, and Good Morning America. The fact that he is so accomplished in the area of eating healthy shows just how credible he is when it comes to discussing fast food vs. the eater. Zinczenko believes that the fast food industry is partly at fault for the growing rate of obesity. Although Zinczenko’s background and accomplishments gives us the evidence we need to know in order to trust his judgments, his emotional way of getting his points across make a difference as well. In the beginning of the essay, Zinczenko tells us about himself and how he grew up with troubled parents who weren’t together, and with very little options of what to eat for lunch and dinner every day. He explains that his options were mainly fast food, which caused him to be an overweight teenager. In other words, he uses his story of himself as a teenager growing up with family problems to draw people in and get them to sympathize with the overweight teenagers and get them to see that it is not all their fault and that it is, in fact, partly the fast food industry’s fault. One of his final arguments is that without warning labels on fast food industry products, we will see more sick, obese children and more angry parents.…

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.…

Nike, Inc. is known traditionally to be a brand suited for competitive athletes, with its origins rooted in selling athletic shoes, but over the course of recent years, the merchandise has expanded to include clothing and other gear to athletes and non-athletes alike. Nike has adapted its advertising campaigns to reach its eclectic audience by sponsoring globally renowned athletes such as Lance Armstrong. Though cyclists are in the minority of the athletic world and it’s fans, the campaigns involving Armstrong have been particularly persuasive because the overall message of the advert is focused on Armstrong’s battle and victory over stage three testicular cancer. The 2009 print appeared in Time magazine, proving to be emotionally powerful and broadly inclusive of its audience by elevating Armstrong to a status comparable to a hero.…
