'So What? Who Cares?'?
The Chapter, “So What? Who Cares?”, deliberates on why the reader should care or why what you say is important. In order for the reader to understand the topic, the author should ask “so what? Who cares?” when writing, and try to answer the question. There were different templates mentioned in the chapter to help us use the concept correctly. “So what” question can be difficult to answer, but it is important to make it sound persuasive so the reader feel excitement when reading the piece. In the other hand, “who cares” question is easy to answer because you only need to identify a person or a group, and discuss some details about their opinions. Regardless, if you are writing to an audience or not that is aware of the subject, it is still

    Citizens United Rhetorical Analysis

    In January 2008, appellant Citizens United, a nonprofit corporation, released a documentary (hereinafter Hillary) critical of then- Senator Hillary Clinton, a candidate for her party’s Presidential nomination. Anticipating that it would make Hillary available on cable television through video-on-demand within 30 days of primary elections, Citizens United produced television ads to run on broadcast and cable television. Concerned about possible civil and criminal penalties for violating §441b, it sought declaratory and injunctive re- lief, arguing that (1) §441b is unconstitutional as applied to Hillary; and (2) BCRA’s disclaimer, disclosure, and reporting requirements, BCRA §§201 and 311, were unconstitutional as applied to Hillary and the ads. The District Court denied Citizens United a prelimi- nary injunction and granted appellee Federal Election Commission (FEC) summary judgment.…

    A Rhetorical Analysis Of 'The New Literacy' By Clive Thompson

    The Clive Thompson article is aimed at showing the development of new literacy where students are learning how to write for a specific audience and making a good essay. The new literacy, according to Thompson, has been facilitated by the internet-enabled social networking such as Facebook and Twitter as they have increased the number of writings modern-day students make. Also, these kinds of writings have enabled the students to understand how writings should be made: with a specific audience in mind. To pass the message of the development of a new literacy, Thompson uses the three types of rhetorical appeals: ethos, logos and pathos to persuade his audience into supporting his assertions.…

    BIO 420 Methods

    There are many methods people can use to reduce plastic pollution. They can reduce, reuse, and recycle. This is the oldest method that is effective if done correctly. They can buy recyclable products with little or no packaging. Buying these products will reduce the use of plastic and will reduce recycling needs which will lead to a cleaner Earth. They can also use biodegradable plastics so we don’t have to worry so much about plastic pollution. Keeping storm drains clean and never littering will also help reduce the plastic that end up in the oceans. Everyone can join the banning of plastic bags which will reduce a significant amount of plastic pollution. Refusing to use disposables and choose to use reusable or Tupperware products. This can reduce plastic pollution because instead of just throwing the container away after using it, it can be washed and reused. People can also help to clean up your local beaches. This will help to reduce the amount of litter and plastic pollution that will eventually end up in the ocean. If one cannot help clean up the beaches, they can make donations to help the clean-up. There are a number of organizations people can donate to such as the Natural Resources Defense Council or NRDC. NRDC is one of the nation’s most effective action groups. They work to safeguard the earth — its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends.…

    Your Inner Fish

    Your Inner Fish: A Review of Chapter 4 In Your Inner Fish, a book about the study of evolution in mammals, chapter four is dedicated to the study of teeth. Neil Shubin is explicit in his insistence that teeth are extremely important when studying evolution of the human body. He uses three main points to explain this to the reader. First, through the function of teeth. Then by revealing the anatomy of teeth. And finally by discussing tooth-to-tooth occlusion. Teeth are used to manipulate larger objects so that they may fit into a smaller mouth. Shubin writes ”Mouths are only so big, and teeth enable creatures to eat things that are bigger than their mouths” (Shubin 60). Without teeth creatures would have a smaller variety of options when it came to food choices. Bigger fish could only eat smaller fish and so on. As explained by Shubin “… teeth can be the great equalizer: smaller fish can munch on bigger fish if they have good teeth” (Shubin 60). So we derive from this that teeth can play an important role in the food chain and thus in evolution. However, teeth play a more important part than this. By studying the anatomy of teeth many secrets can be revealed about ancient reptiles and mammals. For instance, Shubin relates that “The bumps, pits and ridges on teeth often reflect the diet” (Shubin 60). By knowing the diet of an ancient creature, it is reasonable to see how a paleontologist and evolutionist can follow the emergence of the omnivore over the carnivore and herbivore. And the hardness of teeth make it the “best-preserved animal we find in the fossil record for many time periods” (Shubin 61). This clue to these ancient animal’s diets can “give us a good window on how different ways of feeding came about” (Shubin 61). So, the shape of the teeth and the general mineral make-up both contribute to the usefulness of teeth to the scientist.…

    For me personally, selecting an audience can be somewhat a confusing and daunting task. While writing, I find that there can be purpose for a variety of readers. Trimming it down to a select few (my audience) is sometimes hard to do. I really have to sit back and examine the message I am trying to get across, and determine who really needs to read what I have to present, and who will benefit the most from it. This also works its way into including logos, ethos and…
