Textual Analysis Of Joel Robby
Joel Kirby, a name that most of the students at Central know to be a class clown, could not fit the personality of him any better. Joel constantly cracks jokes about anything and everything. He does not appear to care what anyone thinks of him because sometimes he can make a huge fool of himself. For example, at the powder puff game, Joel was sporting a pair of jorts (jean shorts), a referee shirt, a floppy hat and whistle around his neck. Most students would not show up to anything wearing an outfit as crazy as that. His outrageousness at times prevents younger students from talking to him, simply out of cluelessness as to what he would do. Joel does not appear to exhibit any kind of a filter. He will speak about what is on his mind at any

    Stuart Rojstaczer's Rhetorical Analysis

    Stuart Rojstaczer states his own opinion that students that walk into a class knowing they can go “through the motions” and get a passing grade begin to put in less effort. He goes on to say that many students study less than 10 hours, which is less than half of what they were putting in 40 years ago. He also quotes a “recent” survey, saying that 30,000 of first year students showed that nearly half of them were spending more hours drinking than they were studying. He deduces that if we continue along this path, well end up with a generation of poorly educated college graduates who have used their four years to become alcoholics.…

    Richard A Rhetorical Analysis Of 'Young Killers' By Richard Serrano

    Teens are not always aware of the consequences to their actions and they take risks. The general argument made by Richard A. Serrano in his work, Young killers serving life without parole may get chance at freedom, is that juveniles who commit heinous crimes are not fully aware of their actions. More specifically, Serrano argues that juveniles are not fully matured and juveniles should not be charged as adults. The author asserts, “Adolescents, because of their immaturity, should not be deemed as culpable as adults…”(Serrano). In this passage, Serrano is suggesting that immaturity leads teens to act inappropriate for their age because they have not yet become adults. Serrano also states, “But they also are not innocent children whose crimes…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Jonathan Edward

    Jonathan Edwards uses an effective method called the “fire and brimstone” approach, which basically used scare tactics to keep people from straying away from the church. Jonathan Edwards was a master at using literary devices, which horrified but intrigued his audience. He (Edwards) wrote in second person to make each individual feel responsible for their own sins, this strategy allowed Edwards to speak to large groups. Edwards also used extended metaphors to help his audience realize the full extent of their sins. An example of this imagery is, “ The wrath of God is like great waters that are dammed for the present; they increase more and more, and rise higher and higher till an outlet is given; and the longer the stream is stopped, the more rapid and mighty the course, when once it is let loose.” (Sinners 1). This metaphor shows the extent that Edwards goes to show parishioners of what God is capable of doing to the Human race if they do not seek salvation.…

    Richard Rodriguez rhetorical analysis

    All can relate to that one special time of the year, Christmas, when whole families unite and spend hours endlessly sharing stories, making memories, and of course, opening presents! What happens though, when all of the sentimental value of Christmas is replaced solely with physical value, the gifts? What would Christmas be like then? Richard Rodriguez takes the readers through one of his annual Christmases and brings to light, through his thoughts, the disconnect that exists between himself, his siblings, and his parents. Rodriguez’ chronological presentation of events with flashbacks, short, abrupt syntax, light-hearted attention to detail and concerned tone contribute to suggest his worried attitude toward his family.…

    Tim O Brien Literary Analysis

    There are instances when imaginary stories are more powerful than those that actually happened. The fictional reality present in O'Brien's The Things They Carried adds more realism to his writing than any amount of actual details every could. Even though the stories recounted in the book didn't physically happen, they still hold as true as any actual war story. Furthermore, many of the characters and experiences found in these stories have been created from composites of real people and places. Essentially, the stories are first-hand accounts of things that never happened. Tim O'Brien uses this fictional world to negate death, to emphasize meaningful events and character traits, and to enrich the stories with feelings as oppose to factual details.…

He was trying to be funny and did a weird pencil thing to be funny. People in his class did not laugh they just looked at him strangely.…
