I would ask Rudy Giuliani why he chose to be a leader. A lot of people tend to be a follower and are very complacent with their lifestyle. Why be different?…
The article “Tarmageddon”, written by Andrew Nikiforuk, elaborates about the negative effects of the tar sands on Canada. In his essay, Nikiforuk mainly makes use of the logos appeal repeatedly to get his point across to the reader. The author also makes use of the other two rhetorical appeals to get to the reader. While the author uses logos in the essay to appeal to the audience, he missuses it as he uses it to appeal to the reader’s emotions rather than using it to make a logical argument. This is shown through his word choices and name calling through the essay.…
A logo identifies your company in the marketplace. In a quick, visually symbolic way, a logo represents your company to the outside world. Often your logo is the first thing a potential customer sees. It's your first impression, and we all know how important that can be.…
“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.…
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.…
Throughout this week I have experienced many mixed emotions. On Tuesday I came to class extremely exhausted so I took a 5 minute power nap: I woke up confused and overwhelmed. Luckily Prof. Aran took a short break, but I still struggled to catch up on what I missed. On Wednesday I got up early to begin my rhetorical analysis and study the math problems I did not understand. It was a great feeling to come to class and know exactly what was going on. After class I joined a math study group which made me feel even more confident about my math exam approaching quickly. On Thursday I finished my first assignment with 10 hours to spare. My Rhetorical Analysis paper was very challenging to write, but I dedicated 2 hours a night and finished the…
With today’s scientific knowledge, scientists concluded that “…an estimated 443,000 people die prematurely from smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke, and another 8.6 million live with a serious illness caused by smoking. Despite these risks, approximately 46.6 million U.S. adults smoke cigarettes” (Ung). These deaths were all caused either by lung, mouth, larynx, pharynx, esophageal, and/or bladder cancer (Tobacco Use). You might ask yourself, why do people still smoke even though they know that they can get cancer from it? Well, before the discovery of cigarettes being harmful to your body, people thought that cigarettes were actually beneficial to your body. This created an influx of demand for cigarettes from the consumers. Because of this influx, cigarette companies wanted to find a way of luring the consumers into buying their cigarettes. They found that by using rhetoric in their advertisements, they were able to develop multiple ways of persuading consumers into thinking that their cigarettes turned them into a celebrity and that even doctors smoke cigarettes. With this being said, I will compare and contrast a Capri Super Slim and a Lucky Strike cigarette advertisement and show how cigarette companies back then used rhetoric to convince buyers into purchasing these two products.…
I struggle with Rhetorical Analysis essays, but this particular paper seemed to puzzle me more than the other rhetorical analysis essays that I have come across this year. The score I received was an 8, and I was honestly quite surprised to see that. I knew I had written a paper to pass, but to show that I had sufficiently written the paper shocked me. This essay was tough in particular because the rhetorical strategies were very difficult to locate. I noticed that Richard Rodriguez wrote using a lot of compare and contrast, so I based my essay off of that. With that idea, I elaborated the technique in great detail, and that may have accounted for the high score that I received. The paper was very well structured, but it was very one-sided in my opinion. The main reason I was unsure about a high score was due to a lack of inclusion of other rhetorical strategies. I knew that the paper was well written, but I was not necessarily sure how well I was going to do. While reading sample essays released from Collegeboard , I did notice that they were looking for something to do with compare and contrast, and I believe that is why I scored to high on the paper. I did not know that compare and contrast was a rhetorical technique, but it is good to take your idea, and let your thoughts flow. That is how you create very strong writing.…
The first symbol I chose to put on my mandala was the symbol for an Athletic trainer. The symbol represents my goal of becoming an athletic trainer. Becoming an athletic trainer has been my dream. I always strive to become the best I can become, so I can meet my goal of becoming an athletic trainer. I want to become an athletic trainer because it deals with sports. Since I will not become an athlete, this is the closest to sports.…
I will focus my paper toward the Analyzing portion of the learning outcomes as it pertains to my Rhetorical Analysis Essay, “Everybody has an Opinion.” I was assigned to choose an article and analyze it exactly how the author explains it to the audience. I could not be bias; I could only judge and explain it off of how the author used rhetorical appeals to describe that specific topic. I choose to focus on this assignment because I never even knew what ethos, pathos, or logos were until I read the rhetorical appeals handout. During this semester, I grew more as a writer than any other unit during my lifespan. It also helped me to analyze the world itself, daily activities, or even basic conversations beyond just the surface of it. Learning…
The first part of our logo - "Simply" with a line through it - expresses that we are not just trying to promote our brand but that, more importantly, we are promoting the individual who wears it (symbolized by the line through the word). The second part of our logo is a traditional Chinese character that translates to "Great" in English. It is not only unique, but shows that our message and movement is universal and is one that we hope to spread around the…
My high school’s logo is a crest with four quadrants, each with a unique symbol, including a Trojan helmet, a book and quill, a harp, and a maple leaf.…
A logo is a symbolic and identifying mark that stands for origin identity or ownership of company, product or business. The main role of logo is to create a memorable impression the mind of a potential client, so it is crucial for corporate identity. Basically, there are three types of logo and one of the most important principles is to keep it simple. Those three types of logo are symbols and icons, word-marks, and combination mark. The designers and brand consultants of Utusan Malaysia did a great job by choosing the combination mark as a logo (image 1) because they…
