1611 Words7 Pages

This is a comparative Rhetorical Analysis over two articles that I have selected over elementary school homework and if the students should be given homework. I have selected this topic because it is very controversial and even though each article is different they each use some of the same techniques to get their point across to their intended audience. My first article is by Time written by Katie Reilly and it talks about everything, the good and the bad about the issue of homework and my second article by News & Observer written by Harris Cooper says yes students should receive homework and goes to explain what the benefits are from students being required to do it. Both articles present their opposing views on Elementary Homework with similar and different Rhetorical …show more content…

Reilly has a section in her article which is started with The Research which uses the source Harris cooper and talks about his article and what he has researched about the topic of Homework, being a professor of psychology and neuroscience he would be a credible source. Now as we know the second article is written by Harris Cooper himself and in the paper he only has one source which is another paper he wrote concerning Homework. The second article for most people would seem to be a good paper to read if they were looking for information on the subject and pretty persuasive and more credible since the article was written by an expert in the subject where the first paper is using credible sources but its second hand sources. Reilly uses credible sources like Cathy Vatterott an education professor but she does use more than one which gives the paper more than one point of view and take on homework where the article by cooper is a primary source and not the first paper he has written on the subject would lead readers to be more open to the information that is within

Rhetorical Analysis Draft Three “The Privileges of The Parents” is written by Margaret A. Miller, a Curry School of Education professor at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. This woman was a project director for the Pew-sponsored National Forum on college level learning from 2002-2004. This forum assessed the skills and knowledge of college educated students in five states by a way that allowed the test givers to make state-by-state comparisons. Miller believes that “[a] college education has benefits that ripple down through the generations” and this has enabled her to work and speak on topics such as: college level learning and how to evaluate it, change in higher education, the public responsibilities of higher education, campus

“Education is the key to success” is a common phrase said by many of our millennial cohorts. The idea that education is a critical component of acquiring an eminent lifestyle has dated back since premodern times. Individuals are now constantly enrolling in postsecondary institutions in hopes of attaining endless opportunities along with the implied benefits that results from a college degree. Nevertheless, a college education is, unfortunately, not accessible to all people. In “The Diploma Divide,” Kassie Bracken explores the major disparity among low income students and their affluent counterparts on obtaining a postsecondary degree in the U.S. With the employment of an alluring appeal to one’s emotions, a use of despondent word choices to establish a dispirited ambience, and a distinguished platform to elucidate the author’s thoughts, Kassie effectively promoted her argument on how a college education is not attainable for all individuals.

As United States citizens, we lack the motivation for preparedness and choose to wait until something happens in order to find a solution. Representative Rush Holt speaks out on the issues The United States has as a whole in the article, Why Foreign Language Matters, by using the three rhetorical devices, ethos, pathos, and logos. Holt can be given credibility because he directly quotes the words of one of our Presidents, Barack Obama, trying to persuade us on what we should be doing to become bilingual. The author uses pathos to grab the readers by the heart and toggle their emotions when he refers to the attack of 9/11. By stating factual evidence, the author uses logos when he discloses the amount of money raised for the National Security Education Program.

If the argument of rhetorical analysis is that observations and inferences are how one gathers information quickly and accurately, it points out serious flaws in the presentation of the tool. The author of the article is never listed. Why does the article assume that one blindly trusts information on the internet? Also, there are no sources for the information given in the article (How to Defend Yourself). Critically thinking, this author could be anyone, and most likely is not an expert in self defense.

Kathryn Stockett successfully uses rhetorical devices to get the reader to feel and understand the perspectives of the protagonists. Stockett uses pathos, ethos, and logos in her book, since the book about social injustice. The topics in the book range from inequality of the sexes to social classes and racism, Stockett is successful in getting the reader to reflect while reading the book and the themes of the book have a clear presence. We see Stockett use ethos and pathos in the very first chapters when we learn that Hilly doesn't like Minny and Minny doesn't want to say why at first, but the incident with Ms. Holbrook was affecting her chances of getting a job because of the influence Hilly has over this suburban society.

For this rhetorical analysis essay I decided to reflect upon the somewhat recent documentary titled “The Social Dilemma”. From gen-zians to baby boomers, this film was dedicated to educating people on the impact of social media on today’s society as we have entered a tech-frenzy world. Just like many other people, I wanted to see what the craze was about when this film was produced back in 2020. From interviews with former tech company employees to societal examples, Jeff Orlowski used various rhetorical strategies to convey an important message within his world-famous film. Growing up during a time where social media was just developing and kids weren’t glued to their iPad’s, I have very clearly noticed the effects social media has had on,
