I am happy to join with you today, as the Senator of the Hoosier state that is Indiana, in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for patriotism in the history of our nation. It is as if that a mere third of a century ago, we were not a nation, we were not united, we ran by tyranny, the British fed on our fear. Not today, now we have a nation, one day we will have a country from sea to sea. And that can be complete if we Americans do one thing. Fight the Mexicans for that land.

Magnasoles: Rhetorical Analysis

587 Words | 3 Pages

The Onion uses satirical humor to poke fun at modern advertisements and the gullibility of Americans have by mocking the techniques used to sell consumer goods; it does this through its mocking publication of a product called MagnaSoles. This article uses quotes from customers that have bought MagnaSoles, subtle jokes and puns, and the over exaggeration of the sciences implemented by Magnasoles. The article is rampant with subtle hints, jokes, and puns that key the reader in that this article is a joke. With the use of "pseudoscientists" and "pseudoscience" used throughout the article, as well as the "scientific-sounding literature", this is an indicator that this is not real science talking. It also makes fun of the use of making a paper seem more credible through its constant

Rhetorical Analysis Of Joyas Voladoras

585 Words | 3 Pages

At first glance, Joyas Voladoras begins as little more than a somewhat interestingly-written document on the biology of a hummingbird, and ends as little more than a somewhat uninteresting take on emotions, love, and sympathy. The author seemingly attempts to create a tone of direct confrontation, especially towards the end of the passage when he illustrates concepts that are probably meant to make the reader look deep inside themselves and realize they can’t help but eventually succumb to the simple truths of life. I wasn’t particularly moved by this piece, as one could probably tell. The choices to directly address the audience, and eventually speak for them, were both very bold; clearly, the intention was to grab the reader’s attention and make them consider their own role as a human being that experiences feeling, but towards the end of the piece, when this tone

Despite her specific word choice, it is challenging for readers to truly understand her main purpose only through literary terms and devices used throughout the book. Therefore, to help increase the readers ability to understand the main purpose of a certain specific passage, Satrapi uses an extensive amount of precise graphic elements. For example, in the passage “Kim Wilde”, Satrapi is able to express her main purpose that when governments tend to restrict the people too much, and become oppressive, the people tend to resist their law and rebel against the law by using the graphic elements of shading and facial expressions to express her purposes in and easier and clearer visual way.
