    The analysis I made was based on Douglas McGray’s article “Lost in America”. You did a great job mentioning where the article can be found and giving a brief summary of the article at the beginning. It helps the reader understand the main points of the article. However, you started your introduction with “Douglas McGray, in Lost in America”, which is a very common attention-grabber. Unfortunately, because of its frequent usage, it becomes boring or less interesting to readers. You should try to start in a more creative way like a statement meant to surprise or amuse readers. The strategies you used to address the thesis statement was not very effective since your paper lack’s a purpose and you did not specify the audience. Also, it would be…

McCandless was a young man straight out of college, looking to find himself while hitchhiking alone in the bush of Alaska. Unfortunately for Chris his well anticipated venture turned fatal after a hundred some days alone in the wilderness. Jon Krakauer uses rhetorical methods for the duration of the book, which allows him to speak of Chris’s life with a sense of certainty. The reader thus trusts Krakauer’s narrative and somewhat understands why a man like Chris could head into unknown territory without a second thought. The author shows his qualification for writing about Chris by making comparisons with his own life and interviewing those close to Chris…

    The Three Rhetorical Appeals are the three main points by which people are influenced, and it allows you to effectively evaluate different texts and arguments for their oratorical strategies. The first, Logos, is the method of reason, logic, or facts. Any type of argument which appeals to someone’s rational side is appealing to logos. Second, Ethos, an approach of credibility, authority, or character, appeals to demonstrate the author’s expertise, trustworthiness, and honesty and tries to put the author in a more positive position to the audience. Lastly, Pathos, this is a strategy of affect and emotions. Pathos appeals to an audience’s emotions of anger, excitement, or sorrow. These three points are important to the audience to analyze the…

    After I read the first paragraph, To me the tone of the opening paragraph as very optimistic for what America has in store for this mother’s future along with her daughter, Jing-mei. The tone of the primary section set the tone of the second passage as the mother being extremely cheerful for her little girl, and needs her to be fruitful in whatever she takes a stab at in life, or if nothing else that is the means by which I translated it. The third section proposes that America is the mother's last place of hope. When she cleared out China she exited an existence loaded with hopelessness. She doesn't have anything and nobody. In the wake of moving to America she chose not to try and consider her past. Moving to America she must be certain on…

    Robert MacNeil’s article, "Do You Speak American?", was first published in USA Today Magazine, which is popular within the general public. I did notice that he limits the use of terminology that only very well educated individuals would understand. Therefore, it is safe to assume that his intended audience would be the people within the general public, who have a basic understanding of the English language. Throughout the article, he uses language that is usually used to educate, rather than argue, even though at times it does seem like he agrees with one side more than the other. Robert MacNeil's purpose is to deepen this audience’s understanding of the diversity of their language, and then he starts to persuade the audience into believing that the American language is becoming less…

    How can some people live in endless misery and not have any hope for the future and the good things to come? In America, Claud McKay describes America as a woman who is treacherous and someone who continually puts him down. America does many terrible things to the narrator, but he still loves her and the goodness she can bring. America is his home no matter what she does. By showing how the narrator perseveres through all the awful things that America throws at him, I can infer that the message the narrator is trying to put out is that if we fight for the good things in life, we can achieve anything. America is personified as someone who treats the narrator as if he is nothing, expendable, and only worth the punishment she gives him. She makes everything harder for the narrator and constantly gives him reasons to give up, but he still fights on and keeps hoping to receive the reward of the American Dream. If no one ever looked on the bright side of things and persevered through the bad, no one would ever achieve the American Dream. Because the narrator is still persistent, and keeps hoping, he will soon be rewarded with the beautiful things about America and not…

    Hello Thinh! After reading your rhetorical essay, I agree what you said "media embrace the gender inequality and the idealism of a female body." People always see that the photos woman always appeared in movies, TV, magazines, who are in good shape, attractive and charming. It lowers the value of the women because people just appreciate their body and not appreciate their intellectuals. According to what you said "showing researched evidence (ethos), personal interview (pathos) and statistic (logos)", I can understand the purpose of the director that the film is more credibility and persuaded to the audience by using logos, pathos, and ethos. Overall, your essay is well organized, and it provides different sources as well as analyze what you…

    We’re fascinated by the terrible things character's face and for years now, authors have evaluated and ridiculed the “perfect” society to share their concerns about humanity. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley presents a dystopian, emotionless and controlled world where all individuality is masked by their false understanding of “happiness”. Soma, is their armament against the effects of conflict and the only way to indulge in their inescapable life. True happiness is only possible through the perception and feeling of emotions, soma simply provides a distraction from the truth of a world gone wrong. In fact, it appears the plot, tone and characters from the novel all display examples of soma and the belief that happiness is achieved within.…

    In the late 1940’s through the late 1950’s McCarthyism was a wide spread epidemic here in America. The government had a very intense suspicion that there were influences of communism on our soil. 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.…

    Well-known Sci-fi writer, Ray Bradbury, in his novel, Fahrenheit 451, illustrates that relationships reflect who individuals are and who they want to be. Bradbury’s purpose is to promote the idea that a person should have the courage to listen to their own beliefs and thoughts of happiness rather than to blend in with society. He adopts a disoriented and poetic tone in order to appeal to similar feelings and experiences on a non-realistic scale in his young adult readers.…
