Chapter 4, we learned the various aspects of an audience, when preparing a written or electrical document. How did I consider my audience needs and interests as I developed the presentation about Great Calls marketing strategy? I put myself in their shoes and considered the expectations that a manager of a large cellular company would expect. I recognized their time is valuable and I would need to be quick and direct. I also thought that I would have to put together a presentation that was professional and eye catching and brought valuable information to helping them direct the company to a new solution to increase customer attention. Who was my audience? The people I am presenting to are five managers of Genuine Cellular, who I assume are…
In this section, Hawthorne sets the mind-set for the "story of sorrow" that is to take after. His first passage acquaints the peruser with what some might need to consider an (or the) significant character of the work: the Puritan culture. The Puritan culture is symbolized in the main part by the plot of weeds developing so plentifully in front of the jail. By the by, nature additionally incorporates wonderful things, spoke to by the wild rosebush. The rosebush is a solid picture created by Hawthorne which, to the modern peruser, may aggregate up the entire work. In the first place it is wild; that is, it is of nature, inherent, or springing from the "footsteps of the sainted Anne Hutchinson." , using allusion. Second, as per the author, it…

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?…
There are seven common mistakes people make when preforming job-searches. The first mistake people make is to tell a potential employer you left your last position of employment due to personal differences with you and your boss. The next mistake someone makes is not bragging about what you can do and why this company needs you as an employee. Another common mistake is focusing on your personal needs rather than the needs of your potential employer. Yet another mistake job-searchers make is speaking too fast when leaving a voicemail. The next mistake is not making sure that you and your potential employer are compatible. Another important mistake is to make…
World War 1 was centered in Europe and began in 1914 and ended in 1918. This war had over 17 million casualties ranking it one of the deadliest conflicts in human history. Remarque is a veteran of War who has been injured five times, the last time quite seriously. Veterans are known to cope with being back from war in many different ways. Writing a book that shows the reality of war is Remarques way of coping. Remarque,using repetition on the emphasis of youth, omissing the real way Kemmerich died when he told Kemmerich’s mother, having Paul die on a regular and quiet day and using pathos to make one feel sympathy, wrote All Quiet on the Western Front as an anti-war novel.…

Hitler was an undoubtedly deranged man with the desire to concur a nation, who used inhumane methods to achieve his goal of a ‘perfect’ society. The proud words of Assef about him were, “Now, there was a leader. A great leader. A man with a vision.” (39-40) In the novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Assef is characterized as a cruel sociopath; his character is created through Hosseini’s use of figurative language and connotative diction.…
My first impression from watching the film was the relationship between the study’s prisoners and guards seemed friendly at first. Though they’re encouraged by Zimbardo and his associates to take the experiment seriously and to invest themselves fully in their roles, the subjects initially still understand that they’re not really in a prison but then, the experiment takes a turn when a guard named Christopher Archer begins to embrace a meaner personality one, in which I suspect from watching the experiment, is not his normal demeanor but, rather, a more boosted version of himself of which he perceives to be his role. Archer introduces an element of meanness to the proceedings, altering the prisoners’ mindset the prisoners start to feel dehumanization…
I chose this word because the tone of the first chapter seems rather dark. We hear stories of the hopes with which the Puritans arrived in the new world; however, these hopes quickly turned dark because the Puritans found that the first buildings they needed to create were a prison, which alludes to the sins they committed; and a cemetery, which contradicts the new life they hoped to create for themselves.…

“The Dark Knight,” a movie directed and produced by Christopher Nolan, depicts the way a system of justice deals with terrorism. If an archetype is defined as a symbol that exists instinctively in the collective consciousness of the human race, the terrorism in Batman The Dark Knight represents an archetype through the violence, murder of the innocent, mayhem and mass destruction. Governments often lay down laws and procedures for a country to function, and to avoid anarchy. The laws promote wellness, equality, and justice, but sometimes even these entities of justice are forced to break the law for a greater good. In contemporary U.S. history, President Barack Obama, the head of one of the most powerful countries in the world, decided to introduce a select team of individuals into Pakistan, in an illegal manner, in order to kill Osama bin Laden, the head of an international Islamic terrorist group known as al-Qaeda. In the movie these two sides of justice are represented by two “knights.” On one side, Batman, who is constantly referred to as the dark knight and on the other Harvey Dent, who is referred to as the white knight. The words “white” and “dark” have two specific connotations, one which brings to mind the concept of light, an archetype that symbolizes purity, justice, hope, and clarity. The other invokes into mind the concept of darkness, an archetype which embodies fear, ignorance, despair, and the unknown. The use of this archetypical antithesis throughout the whole movie is an allusion to the two sides of justice: the “white side” and the “dark side.” Terrorism is represented by the criminal mastermind known as “The Joker,” a cynical clown that is very similar to Islamic terrorists, an archetype of the devil figure. The most prevalent real life terrorist in current world news is Osama bin Laden, the head of al Qaeda. He plans and orders attacks onto specific targets through suicide bombings, representing the notion…

I believe that the rhetorical strategy of narration is both seen differently in the article, “Unnatural Killers”, by John Grisham and the article, “The Case Against College Athletic Recruiting” by Ben Adler. Both appeal emotionally to the reader but one is a lot more logical in its approach then the other.…
