Ww1 Week 1 Rhetorical Analysis

Maybe this would open the eyes about the war in Iraq, even if you ask people on the street they usually say that the war was wrong. It really surprised me that he won the next election, at maybe he shouldn't have, and he actually cheated like the movie says he does. A lot of these clips that Michael shows in his movie, had been shown in the news and I recognized some of them, and you have to admit that Bushes behavior has been very weird. Even though some people say that this is propaganda, all lies and is stupid just doesn't want to see the facts. A lot of these things are true, and can anyone actually stand up and tell me why a war where hundreds of thousand people have died? Was it to force democracy down on a middle eastern country, how

Passion is a necessary trait all excellent speakers use to persuade their audiences. A passionate speaker uses pathos to sway his or her audience to the speaker’s side by playing with the audience’s emotions. Before pathos is used to move the audience emotionally, it is smart for the speaker to use ethos to build good credibility. With credibility, the speaker has the ability to make the audience trust him or her. That trust is beneficial to help the audience believe what the speaker is saying. Logos is another trait that a strong speaker must make use of to show intellect. It is the appeal to logic. Logic is needed to show the audience that the speaker knows his or her facts and can effectively back them up. Ethos, pathos, and logos are three vital aspects of a good speech. Elizabeth I uses all three appeals subtly throughout her speech, using pathos the most. The queen also uses rhetorical devices to emphasize her points. Through the use of amplification, asyndeton, and climax, Elizabeth I reassures and inspires her troops with her compelling speech.

“Yesterday, December 7th, 1941’” began President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the day following Japan’s fateful attack on Pearl Harbor, resulting in the in the tragic loss of nearly two and a half thousand American lives. A date so famously proclaimed to ‘forever live in infamy,’ and so it has. This inspiring speech to Congress and the American people employed appeals and other techniques in it’s mission to touch America’s heart, both with sympathy and indignation. President Roosevelt’s use of rhetoric is extremely effective in rallying the American people to the cause of entering a war so many were reluctant to support.

“A date that shall live in infamy” (Line 2). This is a quote that many Americans have heard before. This infamous quote comes from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR), in his Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation. FDR gave this speech in response to the Pearl Harbor Attack on December 7th, 1941. The point of this speech was to persuade Congress into declaring war on the Axis Powers. This speech went on to fuel a nation into four years of war. As you know, the US joined the Allied Powers in WWII. This is because FDR was able to effectively use Pathos and Ethos to convince Congress to join WWII.

Living in a country that provides access to great health care, one would expect the United States to have a sufficient supply of medical professionals such as doctors. After all, the country has a booming population and is home to many respected institutions with driven and compassionate medical students. However, in the March 3, 2015 edition of The Washington Post, Lenny Bernstein addresses a relatively new problem in healthcare. In the article, “U.S. Faces 90,000 Doctor Shortage by 2025, Medical School Association Warns”, Bernstein successfully creates a real sense of this crisis through his use of logos and diction to address the expected shortage of medical doctors.

In the essay An Unwinnable War by Robert K. Brigham, he used a different point of view to analyze the U.S. military and how they lost in Vietnam. He also examines three different strategies that were brought up time and time again that could have possibly won the war. Brigham explains to us how he thinks none of these strategies would have gained a victory for the U.S. because they did not fully understand the structure of South Vietnam and the government itself. The first suggested strategy is the invasion of North Vietnam, just above the demilitarized zone at the 17th parallel. What Brigham is saying is that these leaders who supported a strategy like this were overlooking certain aspects such as the threat of China, who was possibly looking

Week three’s devotional really touched me. Many people think they can do everything on their own, that they do not need God in their life. I feel that we all need God to help us get through the challenges in our lives, so we can grow and learn from those challenges. John 14:26 says, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you” (NASB). John 14:26 supports my feelings when it comes to needing God, as He will teach us.

Advertising is everywhere, sometimes it is subtle, other times it is overt. Propaganda posters are a form of advertising; they were used extensively by many countries in the 1940’s during World War II. By attempting to reach the public directly with a powerful and emotional message, they became an effective means to deliver that message. Similar techniques are used in modern advertising. A 2015

Imagery: The author uses imagery to describe the Russian prisoners’ lives in the camps. This imagery makes them look pathetic and frail, causing the reader to feel empathetic and sorry for them. Also we see the same idea of imagery within the hospitals and what happens in them. The description of gore and fear emphasizes the theme of death

All Quiet on the Western Front is a story about the horrors of World War I from the perspective of a German soldier named Paul. Throughout Paul’s service he sees and does horrible things, becoming disillusioned with the ideals of the German high command and of world leaders in general. This book makes it clear not only that the generation of boys and men that were sent out to fight feel betrayed by the previous generation and by their government, but also that there was a huge gap between the soldiers and everyone else around them.

Often times writings with the general theme of war and battle juxtapose the symbol of nature with brutal events in order to create contrast between. In All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich M. Remarque, the author uses the method of juxtaposition to convey the contrast of beautiful nature to war and potentially emphasizing the brutality of battle. Away from combat, down-time is given to the men fighting, where things are peaceful and no longer chaotic. As they are relaxing, their surroundings are described as a “flowery meadow” with “white butterflies...in the soft warm wind” which symbolizes peace or happiness. (Remarque 9). Although the men are experiencing a time and setting of tranquility, death is also occurring near them, ultimately

In Black Hawk's Surrender Speech in 1832, Black Hawk portrays many forms of being a courageous Indian who faced many obstacles, but was always true to his nation. He portrays this by utilizing rhetorical devices and associating to the reader through pathos.

In the book, Summer of My German Soldier, by Bette Greene, a young girl named Patty has to face the challenges of living during World War II. Patty is a teenager who lives in Jenkinsville, Arkansas. Patty decides to help a German POW. He also helps her by teaching her that she is a person of value. She has to face the FBI, she is not confident in herself, and she is abused at home.

In Marjane Satrapi's word-specific panel about refugees fleeing north on page 89, she indicates the perilous situation of the war through taxis escaping flaming iconography. The bombing of border towns in the Iran-Iraq war forces residents to abandon their homes and belongings in the hope of finding refuge in the northern cities. The foreboding, chaotic scene underscores a period of turmoil in Iranian history. The words of the panel state, “After Abadan, every border town was targeted by bombers. Most of the people living in those areas had to flee northward, far away from the Iraqi missiles.” Satrapi sets the backdrop of warfare with intense, slightly militaristic words such as “targeted,” “flee,” and “far away”. This being a word-specific panel, the graphic

Rhetoric involves the scrutiny of the way an author, speaker, or artist utilizes language or words to sway the target audience. Rhetorical analysis thereby denotes a criticism or essay that breaks the non-fictional works into subsections, hence elaborating how every section works in association with other parts to introduce certain effects, such as information, entertainment, and persuasion of the intended audience. In common instances, the scrutiny also deliberates on every involved rhetorical situation or circumstance, on the basis of context, purpose, as well as the audience. One can conduct a rhetorical analysis of various literary works including journals, books, plays, cartoons, adverts, or any other oral performance like speech. One of the most popular and interesting play that has been read and used widely in different learning institutions for literature studies is An Enemy of the People. In this piece, the author, Henrik Ibsen, portrays the major character, Doctor Stockmann, as an enemy of everyone. However, despite being branded as the enemy of the people, Doctor Stockmann has been used to expose the rots happening within town municipality in Norway. Indeed, Doctor Stockmann is not an enemy of the people as portrayed in the play, but the ‘savior’ of the Norwegian township.
