Atticus 20: 13 Rhetorical Analysis

910 Words4 Pages

I don’t have a problem with you!! Though it’s becoming really clear how you feel about me. Your comment is just dripping with contempt, and the condescending “just saying” at the end is the cherry on that sundae. I’m not trying to start drama or have some some futile Facebook comment war. I just have every right to defend myself.
Don’t worry — I have heard Leviticus 20:13. I’ve had it hatefully thrown at me more times than i can even count. But not once has it actually convinced me because- a quote isn’t an argument!
Again, I did state at the end that this wasn’t completely true and that I posted it because of the point it raises, that this isn’t some black and white issue- that the answer, “God said so” just isn’t an acceptable answer anymore.
Leviticus 20:13 is the Trump …show more content…

It is not a choice. WHY would someone CHOOSE a life that would be so hard!? The fact that people are born with their sexuality pre-determined is literally just a proven fact. I mean, I would link to all the science and studies into this, but what good would that do. Proof rarely changes peoples minds.
I’m not trying to fight, but it’s not something I can just ignore. You could never in a million years even imagine what it feels like when this comes up. It’s so indescribably hurtful in such a deep way, because It’s not my lifestyle being condemned, it’s an innate part of who I am. I go entire days without doing “gay” things. It has nothing to do with the WAY I live my life. I can choose to live my life however I want- but I’ll always be gay and I always have been. Virtually all of Leviticus get ignored, while my very EXISTENCE is an abomination. Not only that but you essentially just said that I should be put to death, because if you agree with the bible 100% then you’re saying you agree with that verse.
Someone who asserts that they have love for me, and yet at the same time is incapable of accepting me, has no love for

Abraham Lincoln wrote “The Gettysburg Address” to remind the audience that they’re fighting the war to unite the nation and give equality to everyone. He uses rhetorical appeals to develop and support his purpose. Throughout his speech, he uses ethos by alluding to the Declaration of Independence, an example being in the first paragraph when he states, “all men are created equal”. By using ethos, he establishes that he is credible by referencing a trusted document that supports his purpose of equality. Another way he develops his purpose is by using logos when he claims that it’s “fitting and proper” that they should dedicate part of the battlefield to the people who died fighting (2).

Atticus starts off the speech saying “gentlemen,” “I shall be brief, but I would like to use my remaining time to remind you that this is not a difficult one.” Atticus's tone sheds a few layers, too, becoming conversational rather than businesslike. He uses figurative language when he says “This case is as simple as black and white.” Basically, he points out that there's no evidence and that the prosecution is banking on the stereotype that all African-Americans are immoral liars who rape white women whenever they get the chance. He goes on to say that Tom is not guilty but someone in the room is.

Controversial topics are and have been a big part of our society all throughout history. One of the most controversial topics in history is the Bible. And inside it there are many hard things to understand that many people have one opinion while others may think in another way. One of this issues encountered in the Bible being if Christians are suppose to follow the Mosaic Law or the law that God gave to the Jews through Moses which consists of many rules and laws that the Jews should obey back at that time. In my opinion I strongly believe Christians are no longer under and not required to follow the Mosaic Law because it is impossible for humans to fulfill the Law without Jesus, also we now are saved through Jesus grace and our faith not
