I’m fairly confident that I at the very least passed the test with a 3, maybe even a 4. I think that I did as well as I usually do on multiple choice, which hopefully means that I got more than half of them right, but there were more than a few questions that I had trouble with and I ended up not being very confident with my answers for them, however on the whole I think I did alright. For the essays, I spent WAY too much time on the DBQ (I went into the rhetorical analysis time in order to finish it) and I didn’t do a very good time synthesising and using the sources. I’m fairly certain that I answered the prompt thoroughly, but I relied too much on outside information and didn’t use many quotes from the sources. For the rhetorical analysis,
Those who were responsible for crafting essa ESSA sought to shift the focus from federal accountability and oversight to more local and state-based control; under President Obama’s waiver program, CCSSI and RTT initiatives, the direction of education policy was one on increased federal control over education. An oft-quoted Wall Street Journal editorial claimed that ESSA would represented, “the largest devolution of federal control to the states in a quarter-century.” Chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee John Kline further billed ESSA as a rejection of the “Washington-knows-best approach to education” and touted ESSA as “the kind of responsible education reforms the American people want and deserve.” While the rhetoric
Speeches are used to commemorate points of history, and inform the general public of the product of their history but what makes a speech so impacting on it’s audience? Rhetorical devices give speeches and works of literature a way that can convey feelings or ideas to a viewer. When addressing during times of war or chaos, people such as Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln, and Winston Churchill used these terms to better connect with their audience. Without these tools of the english language, dialogue and literature would be all the more dull and unappealing. However, with these useful instruments, writers and speakers can better communicate through some of the many rhetorical devices.
In her hit song “Hrs and Hrs,” Muni Long sings about finding a lover she wholly connects with. The song also engages the audience by adopting a personal storyline, focusing on her past and present romantic relationships. Long (2021) embraces actual vulnerability and expresses her feelings through honest lyrics that make the audience feel the song’s mood. Long also uses rhetorical appeals, such as ethos, logos, and pathos, to engage the audience. Logos is the basic logic that the audience gains from the song.
Past leaders such as Andrew Jackson, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Marc Antony are evidence that society does not reward morality and good character in leadership. Society is drawn to leaders that have good rhetoric, propaganda, and charismatic personalities, and society supports them despite their immorality. Society is concerned about stability more than the morality of their leaders and will support immoral leaders in times of crisis to provide stability. In history there have been multiple leaders that have used rhetoric, propaganda and charismatic personalities to gain power, despite their morals.
A major theme in A&P is personal freedom. Throughout the story Updike uses metaphor for all elements in the story to implies the theme. At the beginning of the story, Sammy uses sarcastic tone to describe the customers as “sheep” and “houseslaves” which implies he is different from them in mindset. The way how Sammy talks about others shows his intellectual mind. He is not same as Stokesie who wants to be a manager one day.
Henna Jenson has an advantage to making the best impression possible because she has worked for the company several years. She know two of her interviewers on a more casual basis helping her to know what both individual is like and what they expect. For Henna first interview at 9:00 with Rodney Custer, personnel manager, she should dress to impress while still staying in the corporate appeal. Rodney is known for his meticulousness in dressing meaning Henna could gain extra points from him with her dressing nice. He is also known to be a sexist towards women in high position so Henna needs to tilt her head (interested), expand her chest (confidence), shake his hand (Powerful), speak with confidence and give him direct eye contact showing that she can compete with anyone including men for this promotion.
• The Rhetorical Tool that I choose on page 229 on my textbook is “Appeal to Value”; however, “Appeal to Need” would work to on my persuasive essay too. The results is that “Appeal to Value” I can express with my own support with sympathy, mercy, etc… in another words I can have the power or the ability to attract, interest, amuse, or stimulate the mind or emotions or the readers, because my persuasive essay will talk about precise meanings or important topics that the reader will like to know what is going on; in the other hand, I understand that we need to choose one rhetorical tool, but I think that “Appeal to Need” is another way to persuasive the readers on the need and the urgent of this matter; for example, the urgent and the obligation
James Baldwin's speech "A Talk to Teachers" addresses how the paradox of education is when one begins to examine and become aware of the society in which he is becoming educated in. The purpose of education is to merely teach a person how to look at the world for himself - to create an identity for one's self. When he starts to question the universe and then learn to live with that of which he questioned, an identity is then created. Baldwin uses diction, repetition, and parallelism to argue that Negro students are being taught myths and lies about their ancestral history leading to the alteration of their dehumanized identity.
Abstract In the contemporary capitalist society, the marketing of higher education adopts a highly capitalist-focused rhetoric, with commercials promoting students’ choices in favour of specific educational establishments for financial and not intellectual reasons. Educational institutions use various methods and techniques of persuasion to frame the audience’s beliefs and values in favour of certain educational choices. In connection with pervasive presence of propaganda techniques in marketing, this paper presents a visual and rhetorical analysis of higher education print advertisements’ analysis. This analytical study is intended to show how marketers of higher education reinforce problematic representations that can be read as discriminatory
Rhetorically Analyzing A Talk to Teachers A talk to teachers, written by James Baldwin, criticises the education system in the mid-1900s by directly sending a message to teachers about the flaws in the system. He argues that race should not hinder equality or the quality of education a child receives. Baldwin uses tone and diction that highlights the importance of his message. In addition, he uses several persuasion tactics to convince his audience of his ideas.
In the interview, the tone they had with one another contributed to the positive effect of the interview. In an interview it is imperative for the interviewer and interviewee to have a positive tone with each other. This is important to an interview because if the interviewee or the interviewer has a dismissive tone it may determine the interviewer get credible information. At the start of the interview, both Moche and the interviewee has an enthusiastic tone with one another (2:12). The tone heard in the interview refutes what Grele stated because it shows that if both the interviewer and interviewee gives off a positive tone, the interviewee would give correct information.
A way to overcome this bias would be to go in as open-minded as I can. Yes, first impression is important, but I need to give him a chance to communicate with me and show what he has to offer. The last bias, I am going to have going into this interview is the nonverbal bias. His body language and facial expressions could accidently send me wrong signals and lead me to invalid conclusions about what he is saying. The only way for one to overcome this bias is to continually smile and act friendly throughout the whole

Having the chance to experience this Mock Job Interview open my eyes up to a lot of things. Being a Roanoke Valley Early College these are some of the great opportunities that you will receive.
