The author of Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer, appeals to pathos by including how Chris’s death affected his family members. Throughout Chris’s adventure in the Southwest and eventually to Alaska, he rarely mentions his family, showing his selfishlessness side. The audience themselves only have a vague grasp of Chris’s family. However, in chapter 13, the author includes an interview of his family members about Chris’s death - especially emphasizing Carine’s point of view. After receiving the news about her older brother's death, “she found that her appetite vanished, and she lost ten pounds” (131). As her health was declining, it shows an emotional reaction to the audience by showing how devastatingly Carine’s everyday life changed. Her loss of…
Alan Kwasman, a Board Certified Pediatric doctor, claims that to become a doctor, one needs people skills, the ability to listen, and thoroughness. Dr. Kwasman supports his claim with reasoning on why doctors need certain qualities, examples of hard-to-distinguish diseases, and stories about his work, including one about a teenager who he diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease, much to the astonishment of his family. The purpose of Kwasman’s speech is to take a stand in persuading the audience to the fact that doctors are needed and should not always be blamed for accidents, as (mostly) they always try their best. The pediatrician spoke in an understanding and calm voice, with his speech made for the general public.…
In the world of politics where everything has an opposing viewpoint, the use of proper persuasive techniques is essential. In the article, Fitzpatrick and Fenwick’s plea to pass the 2013 farm bill strategically uses exemplification as well as cause-and-effect to assert the rationality and impact of their point. From introducing the issue, to showing achievements, to showing urgency; these rhetorical techniques further the message of the authors. The use of exemplifications is apparent in the author's’ introduction to the issue as well as their reasoning as to its importance.…
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…
The words in paragraphs ten through twelve showed a lot of emotion. The overall tone of the passage is very pragmatic and frank. The author used many robust words that really set the tone of those paragraphs. For instance, for an example of pragmatic, paragraph twelve states, “He was outraged by the innkeeper's greed and deception.” The word outraged shows how disgusted and livid he was with the innkeeper’s actions. Another example is in paragraph twelve, “The farmer thanked the lawyer for his cleverness and happily returned home.” The word “happily” reveals that the farmer was very pleased with the conclusion of the case in the courtroom. Animated would be a good tone to describe this sentence. Frank tone in the passage is shown in paragraph…
"Facebook encourages narcissistic blabbering, video and Powerpoint have replaced carefully crafted essays" Clive Thompson, author of this excerpt, shows how social media as well as technology is disintegrating our level of knowledge. He states that the Z generation is the age of technology and children are not as aware of their surroundings as other generations. They do not read, their IQ scores have dropped, and the way they carry themselves shows that this is the dumbest generation.…

I believe the author is simply joking when the author call scorpions “pleasant, unassuming creatures with, on the whole, the most charming habits.” The tone of the sentence seem to be taken as a humorous statement, and not to be taken serious.…
Who would ever imagine that the begging of aerospace and the landing on the moon was going to be forty-three years before that the Apollo landed on the moon. What is even more surprising that this was going too occurred in a simple farm. Robert Goddard was a pioneer in Aerospace who was often ridiculed by many editorial and most American scientists. Most off them did not believe on his theories and nobody never took the initiative to do a bigger research in rockets with liquid-propellants. Robert was not ready to stop and this article is an excerpt of what it seems to be part of his journal.…
After reading Phillip Jenkins’ article from Nerve.com, I am appalled that there are sick people in this world who actually enjoy “kiddie porn.” I have heard some horrible stories, but nothing quite like what Jenkins has mentioned in his article. Jenkins states, “if sexual fantasies, however grotesque, however unhealthy, can be made illegal, none of us are safe.” Jenkins cites specific examples such as videos of “kindergarten girls masturbating and giving blowjobs to adult men” along with many other examples to help support his thesis.…
I believe Greene reiterates the quote to give us show just how important the understanding of the concept he's trying to come forth to us is. He gives us a scenario to be able to get a more thorough understanding of the entire thing. The metaphor Burke uses is stating that no matter what the argument is, there will be two sides for/against that claim. There will be people who agree with you and there will definitely be people who will go against you. Entirely, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and they will stick to it. They will bring up past arguments to dispute the one you're in right now and even when you're done putting your perspective in it, the argument will continue. The way it presents writing is that many people have written…
“Caleb Meyer,” a compelling bluegrass song written by Gillian Welch, tells of the narrator’s struggle while a drunken man rapes as she fights for her life. The dramatic crescendo throughout the song creates a narrative that forces the audience to the edge of their seats as they anticipate anxiously what will happen next. Welch uses persuasive narrative rhetoric throughout the song to create her message, one that any moral person will find difficult to sympathize with. Throughout this essay I will identify “Caleb Meyer” as a rhetorical narrative, criticize its form and function, and evaluate its effectiveness.…
Deemed the new modern day Romeo and Juliet, Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight reintroduces the idea of “forbidden love”. However, Meyer’s Edward Cullen and Bella Swan are not simply rewritten versions of Romeo and Juliet. Instead, when comparing these two stories together, the reader can recognize more than the “forbidden love” that occurs between two opposing sides in both books, but they can also use the comparison to understand each character as individuals more thoroughly.…
In the end, the authors randomised 339 of 555 eligible patients, and studied 293, well under 60% of the study population. This raises the serious possibility of bias (discussed below).…
