Rhetorical Analysis Of Timber
Timber is very much a timeless document in that similar struggles still occur today in Oregon. After this Summer of fire, I’ve heard a lot of anti-environmentalist rhetoric coming from people I know in Central and Eastern Oregon. Released just before an important vote in congress, the magazine appeals to both logic and emotion by reminding the reader of their own livelihood. It furthers its purpose by supporting citizen activism and encouraging political participation. Overall, the magazine represents the feelings and concerns of many Oregonians pertaining to the Environmental Species Act. There’s still restaurants, off the I-5 corridor, serving spotted owl burgers and selling chainsaw art.

    Franklin Roosevelt once said, “No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.” America’s history with labor and workers is not so illustrious. Children were forced to work for little to no money in dangerous situations, workers were exposed to dangerous chemicals, temperatures, and weather, and work days and weeks were interminable. However, these appalling and fiendish condition in which America’s lower and middle class workers drudged through came to an end because of a certain type of person. Yes, as president, Franklin D. Roosevelt enacted federal laws that enforced protection for the workers of America. However, how did Mr. Roosevelt…

    In her book Legacy of Luna, Julia Butterfly Hill narrates the two years she spent living at the canopy of a thousand year old redwood named Luna in Stafford, a rustic town on the North of California, to save it from being cut by Pacific Lumber-Maxxam Corporation.

The book ends with a pledge based on Hill’s belief; trees must be protected because they are vital for survival of earth’s ecosystem.

    Sand between my toes and enjoying some sun while gathered around with a group of friends is what I call, a definition of a great time. The ad Tampax Pearl from Seventeen magazines sells the product through the use of rhetorical fallacies logos, ethos, and pathos. There are six fallacies, and throughout the magazine they are represented by the text, the women in the white bikini, and the beach: false cause, hasty generalization, non sequitur, and appeal to ignorance, false authority, and bandwagon. In the background are the sounds of waves clashing against one another, the sun beginning to lower, and the scent of a bonfire. The game of limbo used as an entertainment to influence laughter, and competition spread to one another.…

It brought forth other industries such as paper, leather, and furniture; it even brought hundreds of thousands of people to the state in search of occupation and opportunities. The development of this industry can be largely contributed to the geography and resources that Wisconsin has to offer. From the idea of honest work along with the location and sizes of it’s cities, Wisconsin has become the way it is because of the history of the logging industry.…
