In the 1700s letters were the prime way of communicating with peers. Within these letters was excellent rhetorical analysis strategies. These strategies can be clearly seen in the letter written by Abigale Adams, wife of former U.S. President John Adams, to her son John Quincy Adams in support of his traveling abroad.…
In this paper we have to analysis one of Ansel Adams photographs in order to identify the visual argument that Ansel Adams is trying to portray through his photograph. We are trying to pull out key details in the photograph to truly understand what Adams wants us to really know about this historical event and why this photograph was shot the way it was. The photograph that I choose to take a deeper look at was "Line Crew at Work in Manzanar". I choose this photograph because I felt that it had the most details that I could pull out to come up with my final thesis statement.…

Demonstrating her good judgement establishes Adams’ credibility as a speaker.…
The first night of the power outage hints at the deteriorating relationship of Shukumar and Shoba, which results from the lack of communication. Shukumar creates a mental comparison his life, how it “weren’t like this,” stating the drastic difference between the lives that they had prior to the miscarriage, and after the death of their child. His tone has a lingering doubt, a feeling that he has had in the back of his mind, that he has been ignoring, as he “struggles” to talk to Shoba with interest and admiration. His lack of communication during this meal has precedence, when he eventually “gave up trying to amuse her,” as if the bemusement of Shoba would save their dying marriage. While Shukumar gives up his attempts, he accepts their disjointed…
While the theories on the artist intent are of plenty, there is no mistaking that this piece provokes deeper contemplation on the depiction of beauty and the power of “ugly” imagery in this painting. One can argue that over vast time periods and amongst culture the defined interpretation of beauty has seen many profound depictions and interpretations displayed in infinite works of “beautiful” art. We must ask ourselves, can only works of “beauty” be aesthetically pleasing to the eye or can we find it in a variety of work through…
Abigail Adams wants John Adams to grow and become a good politician, as she states in her letter. Adams starts by wishing they had a good voyage, and quickly turns to addressing her son’s naivete, and obtuseness. Abigail says that she wouldn't have sent John away if his reluctance was backed by thought, and even goes as far as to say he wasn’t “capable of judging what was most for [his] good.”…
The speaker, Regina Glover, gave an informative Speech about the history, significance, and aesthetics of AfriCobra. The content of her speech was well developed, in how she choose to organize it. It was clever for her to give a brief history first so that the audience could have a glimpse of how AfriCobra began. To present the significance of AfriCobra second was also smart, because the audience would have wanted to know the overall purpose of the art, which made Regina’s speech and the art itself more meaningful. When she presented the aesthetics of AfriCobra last, it allowed the audience to learn the style of the art, therefore adding interest to her topic.…
Nordau gives the example of a painting by the artist Valdez. The subject is barbaric and vulgar, and yet, with a fresh perspective, Nordau argues that it is a truly beautiful art piece. Sensual beauty is not what art is always about. If you have an open mind, you can experience the intellectual beauty in almost every art piece. Nordau explains that you can feel the raw emotion of the painting, and maybe that is exquisite enough, all on its…

Authors use many different types of rhetoric and rhetorical devices to develop their arguments and as a means of convincing others. In the letter written to her son, John Quincy Adams, Abigail Adams uses two rhetorical devices in an attempt to ensure that her son is not displeased with her after she encourages him to travel abroad with his father. Abigail uses logos to appeal to his sense of logic as well as pathos to appeal to his emotions.…
Abigail Adams, in this letter to her son, uses a loving and motherly tone to appeal to him.…
But if he is an alderman, how does he know so precisely what took place in the druggist's shop or in Judge Stevens's office? The narrator may be any one of these people, but he cannot be all of them. He knows so much (if indeed he hasn't fabricated everything) because the details of Emily Grierson's life have been passed to him along a sloppy bucket-brigade of gossip, making him all the more unreliable and all the more suspect as he passes along to us the observations and suspicions of his fellow townspeople. Homer's visit occurred forty years before the narrator writes. Surely memory and imagination have helped to embellish the stories swept forward by curiosity and "affection." Because everything this narrator says is suspect, we are denied the luxury of knowing that Homer Barron is or was anything.…

Aesthetics is broader in scope than the philosophy of art, which comprises one of its branches. It deals not only with the nature and value of the arts but also with those responses to natural objects that find expression in the language of the beautiful and the ugly. A problem is encountered at the outset, however, for terms such as beautiful and ugly seem too vague in their application and too subjective in their meaning to divide the world successfully into those things that do, and those that do not, exemplify them. Almost anything might be…
