Young ,beautiful, unique, talented, artsy, dughtifull, goal-drivin´. All those words are adjectives that a person could possibe use for discribing Shanaz.

Shanaz is a muslim and in order of reaching her goal, an art degree, did she make an compromise. She agreed to an arranged marriage. She agreed to marry a complete stranger.
For a person brought up in a western country, used to having barely boundaries, this will seem quit strange.

We all want to find the perfect match for ourselves, for sharing our life with someone, for having someone to share our problems with. If our parents would choose our partner we probably wouldn´t feel the pressure. We wouldn´t have problems with the acceptance of the new parents in-law. Everybody, in both families, would try to make it as comfortable as possible. This would make the life easier because the familyacceptance is for most persons really important. Not for no reason is the saying "Blood is thicker than water" popular in nearly every language.
Humans often choose a person as a soulmate, who is having a similar backround. They can understand the other person somehow better and they probably have learned the same values during their childhood. A shared backround is also one of the most important standards for the parents while searching a future husband/wife for their

They are thinking that they are capable of counquering all problems together and couldn´t imagine a life without the other person. In an arranged marriage it is different though. The elders believe that the love will grow with time between the match. But how likely is it, to find your soulmade in somebody you´ve never met before? It it more likely that there won´t ever be attraction. You could say the spark would be missing. This could lead to a boring but at the same time safe marriage. If you never trouly loved your partner you can´t get hurt as much

    “The Squint and the Wail” is an essay by Michael Hsu. Hsu, a Taiwanese American author and editor, wrote this essay in order to express his views on the negative connotations that occur with some of the racially charged objects present in society. More specifically, the essay deals with the stereotypical nature of The Chin Family. The Chin Family is the name of Stefano Giovannoni’s tabletop collection, which includes salt and pepper shakers that have the caricaturized facial expressions of Chinese people (Giovanni, 404). In this essay, Hsu talks about the appalling nature of the stereotypical features and how those features pose a derogatory inference to Chinese culture, but then reciprocates his views on the tabletop collection to a more neutral stance. Hsu’s main claim is that it is derogatory to exaggerate on the racial-specific physical features of a race and to present that exaggeration to the public under the guise of an everyday tool. Hsu’s piece shows race from a particular perspective and then compares that perspective to the perspectives of the individuals he associates himself with. Hsu’s persuasive approach can be broken down and interpreted by viewing his stance through ethos, pathos, logos, and mythos.…

Many were accused and prosecuted for “un-American activities” throughout the states. The FBI had no grounds or evidence to stand on when accusing these people. The Salem witch trials in The Crucible were very similar to these situations. Witten by Arthur Miller The Crucible was Miller’s way of protesting and speaking out against these trials while trying not to draw any attention to him. He uses many rhetorical devices to help better his message as it if brought forth to the reader. Irony, repetition, imagery, and metaphors are examples of some of the devices Miller uses to capture the reader and keep the story on track with the protest of McCarthyism.…

    Sand between my toes and enjoying some sun while gathered around with a group of friends is what I call, a definition of a great time. The ad Tampax Pearl from Seventeen magazines sells the product through the use of rhetorical fallacies logos, ethos, and pathos. There are six fallacies, and throughout the magazine they are represented by the text, the women in the white bikini, and the beach: false cause, hasty generalization, non sequitur, and appeal to ignorance, false authority, and bandwagon. In the background are the sounds of waves clashing against one another, the sun beginning to lower, and the scent of a bonfire. The game of limbo used as an entertainment to influence laughter, and competition spread to one another.…
