Rhetorical Essay On Beer Pong
The game of beer pong in front of me heated up as I stared into the white lining of my plastic cup. I was never that big into drinking. Perhaps when I was older, I thought, I would like it better. But no matter what I tried, it just made me sick. I didn’t know how the frat guys could chug all the beer on the table and not puke (well most of them, anyway). I was talking with my friend Amber, if you could really call it a conversation. She interrupted me most times I spoke with rhetorical questions about how hot her college boyfriend was, and how well he was doing in the beer pong game. He was losing, by the way. I eventually learned to just ask her questions which would keep her talking for a while so I could try and zone out. The time I spent retreating back into my head was …show more content…

Why didn’t’ you bring one?” he clutched the ocean blue and white jacket tight in his arms. “I was going to, but Amber was rushing me to get here so she could see Allen.” “Allen?” Sam said with a confused look. “I thought her boyfriend’s name was Paul?” “Nope, it’s Allen. Or else she would have been calling him by the wrong name all

    On April 20th, 1999, a school shooting took place in the Columbine High School. Two students, fully armed with a variety of firearms, murdered numerous students. This catastrophe resulted in numerous disputes over the issues with gun control laws in relation to the Second Amendment of the US Bill of Rights, which gave US residents the right to bear arms.

    Working your hardest, trying it your best, and meeting the needs of thirty freshman is more than the work itself. It’s torture. The Beverage Wars is the torture of exalting yourself into a whirlwind of not only your own ideas, but four other perspectives that may or may not be close to freshman thinking. Phew! The freshman class must have “exploded into seniority” by sipping on Volcanic Jungle, because they most certainly do not let age stop them from voicing their opinions. Freshmen that were seen as fearful, tiny, and cute, are now spurious demons that slaughter each and every project in some way. It is utterly important to make note that not one soda received a perfect rating. So, my fellow classmates of AP Composition, we can’t be offended by rejection. After receiving entirely mixed results and feedback, I have concluded that our efforts of rhetoric will always ultimately fail in the eyes of freshmen. Even though we received just one vote, we did not fail in the sense that we captivated the attention of the freshmen. In the long run, to have been able to win this competition, our Soda needed to rank first in multiple categories.

What makes a writer successful is the connection they establish with the reader. To do so, they have a great quantity of tools, but the preponderance is rhetorical appeals. In the videos, “Drunk History – Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks”, “Drunk History – John Adams vs. Thomas Jefferson”, and “Breaking News: Some Bullshit Happening Somewhere”, the usage of logos, pathos and ethos varies, resulting in each video having a different impact.…

    A few seconds of silence passed. The next thing she said came out as almost a whisper, so quiet that I almost didn’t hear it. “She probably doesn’t even want to see me again,” she quietly scoffed, rolling her eyes. I just stayed where I was, silently protesting her stubbornness. She slumped, and sat back down in the plastic chair behind her.…
