The warden, James Parchman, used conjugal visits as a strategy to control black inmates and ensure they worked harder in the cotton fields. Since inmates did not receive monetary compensation for their labor at that time, conjugal visits were a positive reinforcement used by the correctional administration (Hopper, 1969). There was a concern with the conjugal visits. There was a theory that by providing the blacks with the visits, they were given human strength and were unable to control their sexual urges. This then led the blacks to being promiscuous and out of control (Hopper, 1969). Today, inmates who wish to participate in the conjugal visitation program must meet certain requirements. In addition to being classified into either a minimum or medium unit, inmates must present legal proof of marriage and have a record of good behavior (Hensley et al., 2000; Hensley et al., in press). Today, conjugal visits it comes to conjugal visitation, some may think that while one is in the prison system serving time, it must be a punishment for the crime committed and not be rewarded of this privilege. Some people think if they have a partner male or female, they are allowed to have sexual relations while completing their sentence. This is not the case. At the Mississippi Department of Corrections, conjugal visitation is provided to inmates under their care and supervision of MDOC. There are strenuous guidelines and procedures for this to happen. Inmates that qualify for conjugal visits are those who are in A or B custody (minimum custody levels) and must have an acceptable disciplinary level. They are only allowed to eligible legally married inmates. Married meaning as if in union of a man or woman, the spouse of the inmate must provide proof of the marriage. (Common Law marriage is not considered so therefore will not be considered for conjugal

    After a quick read of the passage from 3.540-587, one may assume that Satan is only concerned with viewing the beauty of the newly created earth. However, after a closer analysis and look into the language actually used in the passage, it is revealed that the sun is a more prominent figure in the passage than the earth. Therefore, Milton use of words and images throughout this passage convey the message of the stark contrast between the good the sun does for the earth and the earth’s future inhabitants, albeit being an inanimate object versus the evil Satan will do to the earth, even though he is a living, breathing creature. Since the sun is an inanimate object, the use of it in this passage is actually just a metaphor for God and His goodness and the love He has for His creation of earth.…

    This paper analyzed two articles from different fields of studies, then compared and contrasted them for rhetorical elements. One from the field of criminal justice and the other from the field of psychology.

    After completing both my Investigative Field Essay, and Annotated Bibliopgaphy + Lit Review, I definitely felt more confident when it came to researching for reliable and credible sources for my rhetorical analysis paper but I was still confronted with obstacles. Although I now acquired this skill, this assignment shifted my work into analyzing information in a different medium. For example, for this assignment we had to pick two artifacts, and one of them had to be in the form of a video or image, something I had never worked with before in an essay.…

    “The Carnivore’s Dilemma”, an essay by Nicolette Hanh Niman, incorporates rhetorical elements, such as logos, ethos, and rhetorical questions, in an attempt to convince the audience that meat itself is not the root of global warming. Written from a rancher’s point of view, the essay relies on studies and logic to prove itself. Niman starts out with a short acknowledgement that the meat industry has a hand in the increasingly noticeable global climate change. She then quickly changes gears, stating that the studies that show the meat industry is a major player in global warming only take the prevailing methods of producing meat into account and spews facts that show the flip side of the food industry.…

    The RA was a challenging task for me because I felt the instructions were unclear, I did not really understand the task. I felt the purpose was really loose and there were no specifications or key points to follow. When I started this projected I started a week ahead in hopes to end early or use the additional time to solidify my essay. However, I found myself struggle to finish barely on time because I kept starting over and over, it was not until the third time I rewrote it that I was satisfied with where I was going. I would say that the lack of clarity made my rhetorical analysis essay one of my weakest performance this quarter. Nevertheless, I used my mistakes in my rhetorical analysis essay as a guideline, I made sure I that I would repeat…

    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.…

    “Give me liberty or give me death!” Patrick Henry once shouted these words with a passion that fueled a nation into revolution. Burning with intensity in the very depths of his soul for the singular belief that a man should be, free. One hundred and eighty eight years later, the stand continued in a different form. “I have a dream,”, “Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last!” Martin Luther King Jr. Stood before millions with these sayings and confronted the oppressors of his generation, just as Patrick Henry rose up one hundred and eighty eight years ago. Patrick Henry and Martin Luther King Jr. are rebels who stood against tyranny with not armies, but through words. Using the rhetorical devices; pathos, metaphors, and repetition, these two heroes of the word proved that the pen is truly mightier than the sword.…

    The Britannica Dictionary defines the word strangers as “people with whom one has had no personal acquaintance, outsiders, or newcomers in a place or locality.” Toni Morrison, however, describes a different definition of the word through her 1998 essay, “Strangers,” written to introduce the book A Kind of Rapture by Robert Bergman. Through proper use of repetition, rhetorical questions, and imagery, Morrison establishes that there is no such thing as simple strangers, only reflections of us in each other. She also defines humanity and argues that there is a bit of each of us in everybody else, therefore there is no reason to be fearful of the strangers around us. Her argument is only emphasized when she effectively creates an eased, narrative pace and successfully persuades her audience that we should not develop an unjust opinion of the one we may be sitting next to today: a stranger.…

    Conjugal visits are already high in risk, it's also a very expensive program. In fact the cost of the visits leads some to believe that the cost of the program outweigh the benefits. The state has to provide adequate space for these private visits. So does this mean the state is paying for mini motels inside the prison walls? This sounds like big business to me which leads to more money being taken away for taxpayer. In my view, the taxpayer shouldn't have to spend their hard earned money on this dangerous and expensive program. Why do inmates deserve conjugal visitation rights? Well, rather we like it or not it's apart of a prisons basic rights which falls under the heading visitation rights. It is believed by some that conjugal visits serves as a method of calming a…
