After reading an excerpt from The Narrative of Fredrick Douglass‚ I learned why Fredrick Douglass hated slavery so passionately. The reason he hates slavery so much is because when his master auld’s wife taught him to read‚ he learned of all the immorality and cruelty associated with slavery.

The story is presented in a way that people can understand it very well. There are a whole bunch of flashbacks‚ contrasts and many references are used‚ sort of making something to easily believe that it’s true. What I liked about the story about

Douglass shows different forms of suffering for the slaves by talking about the struggles that they went through. At the beginning of his narrative Douglass explains how he didn’t know his birthday because that information was kept from slaves and that he also didn’t know his father.

Douglass also goes on to

In what follows‚ I will explicate the classic speeches of Shakespeare’s Brutus and Mark Antony (Julius Caesar) in an attempt to demonstrate both the sophistic and argumentative reasoning styles of persuasion.

In Nine Greek Lives: The Rise and Fall of Athens‚ Plutarch presents the life of Alcibiades as a contrast between inspired military excellence and disappointing moral failure. Although he was a brilliant and accomplished military strategist‚ Alcibiades’ lack of moral fortitude‚ and his provocation of the Athenians into reckless action led to his downfall‚ and that of Athens.

used to further ones own agenda by misleading and deceiving. I would often associate rhetoric with one of my mission companions who would teach in a style to investigators that I felt was misleading and deceiving. While he was a skilled and powerful orator that was persuasive in many ways his teaching style would come off as threatening and torturous and I felt that at times that he was trying to make individuals make decisions based off of fear. I learned in chapter 1 that this isn’t true rhetoric
