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…

e criticize it because it demeans the "black experience" by making the oppression of slavery, which is too horrible for humor, appear funny.1 However, many critics have said that Miss Pat would be a lot funnier if she didn't appear right after the gruesome slide show portraying the horrors of slavery.2 Specifically, this scene uses the alienation techniques of time jumping and directly addressing the audience as slaves. Besides providing a powerful introduction, the ride on the slave ship takes the audience through a very brief overview of black American history. There is a heavy importance that goes along with this review because while not everyone will understand all of the references, it creates a historical atmosphere with the entertainment…
“We’re all amateur psychologists who run private experiments on how best to live” (Gallagher, 1). Thinking deeply about this quote, creates the realization that it is true and that nearly everyone does this subconsciously. Winifred Gallagher, the author of Rapt, believes that the real problem is that we do not perceive our individual ability to utilize our attention to focus and create a better future for ourselves. As a supporter, one would feel that Gallagher presents her argument in a very effective way by utilizing the three main rhetorical analysis tools: ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos creates a balance between the three—it is all about credibility or how likeable someone is. Pathos is the passion or emotion expressed throughout an argument. If done correctly, pathos is the glue that binds it all together (Shadesbreath, 5). Lastly, logos is about the logic and facts behind the…

I chose this word because the tone of the first chapter seems rather dark. We hear stories of the hopes with which the Puritans arrived in the new world; however, these hopes quickly turned dark because the Puritans found that the first buildings they needed to create were a prison, which alludes to the sins they committed; and a cemetery, which contradicts the new life they hoped to create for themselves.…

Because giving advice about parenting can often be taken offensively, Lady Montagu used a delicate balance of rhetorical strategies in order to be effective. These devices include contrasting, personal reference, and allusions.…
Furthermore, Gloucester redeems himself for all the mistakes he has made in the past. He prepares to commit suicide, “This world I do renounce, and in your sights shake patiently my great affliction off” (4.6.37-38). Gloucester tells us he did not feel the need to kill himself, however this hateful life of his would still wear out. Furthermore, the redemption between Lear and Cordelia states, “When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down and ask of thee forgiveness” (5.3.11-12) rather than “I am a man more sinned against than sinning” (3.2.59-60). It shows that Lear believes he can be happy in prison without his love Cordelia. He suggest all the prisoners to sing, and to support each other in this hard time. Looking at each other past…
For this week forum 6; I had selected The Struggle for Human Rights by Eleanor Roosevelt, and the purpose for this article or speech is to try to persuade the Member States of the United Nations in the General Assembly to adopt the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), and due to the introduction to the Rogerian method of argumentation that can be useful for solving issues which do not have clear right or wrong sides. This method shows an openness and respect to the other side, shows a lack of bias towards this other side, but still attempts to persuade this other side to believe a specific, albeit less absolute, claim. She develops the central claim using these supporting claims: “this…
