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.
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.
Most commercials that advertise products often throw them in the viewer’s face. They of course believe their product is the best and that people should buy it because of many of their different reasons. Commercials normally tell important information about the product, maybe how much it costs, and how someone can get their hands on it. This one is different. The Chevrolet commercial “Maddie” very effectively uses the pathos method of appeal through genre, context, and style to promote their product.
The Presidential election of 1968 caused a major shift in American foreign policy, with the issue of ending the Vietnam War being a main point of debate. The contenders for the presidency were Richard M. Nixon and Hubert Humphrey, with Nixon winning the presidency. Although both candidates ran similar campaigns they approached the topic of Vietnam differently. A major difference between their campaigns was the rhetoric used, with Nixon promising to get America out of the war quickly. The rhetoric of the 1968 election and the year following set in motion Richard Nixon’s rise to power which led to the end of the Vietnam War, this was accomplished effectively and within the first four years of his presidency through the promises made and his ability to accomplish them.
Near the end of the Allstate commercial, Dean Winters sneaks in that if one encounters an accident with “Their cut-rate insurance,” they would have to pay for it out of their own pocket. By sneaking this in the commercial, this helps imply to the audience that Allstate offers better plans than other car insurance companies. Dean Winters also states that if one switches to Allstate, one could “Save money and be better protected for mayhem” (“Blind Spot Commercial | Allstate Mayhem” Internet). By doing so, people are more likely to consider Allstate when looking to change car insurance companies. State Farm demonstrates logos through cause and effect.
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.

Mark Twain, an 18th century humorist, was known for his critical and satirical writing. In one of his most famous essays, “ Fenimore Coopers Literary Offenses” Twain addresses Coopers inability to realistically develop a “situation” and his failure to effectively back up his stories in order for them to be more plausible. To dramatically convey his unimpressed and sarcastic attitude, he applies biting diction, metaphors and hypophora throughout this work . By continuously using biting diction, Twain develops a mocking tone towards Fenimore Cooper’s incapability to create even the simplest of storylines. In the title of the work a sarcastic tone is evident; the word choice is utilized to reinforce the argument stating how Coopers work is an offense to the world of literature.
When arguing for racial equality, James Farmer Jr. quotes St.Augustine, “An unjust law is no law at all.” He claims that just laws are meant to protect all citizens; whereas, unjust laws that discriminate Negroes are not laws to be followed, thus raising awareness of racial discrimination by using emotional and logical appeals. In The Great Debaters, Henry Lowe appeals to the audience’s emotions during a debate about Negro integration into state universities. To challenge his opponent’s claim that the South isn 't ready to integrate Negroes into universities, he affirms that if change wasn’t forcefully brought upon the South, Negroes would “still be in chains,” which is an allusion to slavery. With this point, he is able to raise awareness of

Taylor Scuorzo d Rhetorical Analysis 3/20/23 Rhetorical Analysis Doing benevolent and selfless things for others can occasionally lead to adverse results. In his enlightening and illuminating commencement address given at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on May 19, 2018, Jason Reynolds emotionally persuades and informs the graduates at the college through the use of anecdotes and metaphors to show that ignoring the significant problems of the world will not help us fix them.

In this passage, Charlotte Perkins Gilman highlights the theme that women must use their intellect or go mad through the use of literary qualities and writing styles. Gilman also uses the use of capital letters to portray the decline in the narrators’ sanity. This shows the decline in the sanity of a person because the words in all-caps is shown as abrupt, loud remarks. Gilman uses this method multiple times in her short story and this method was used twice in this passage. When the narrator wrote, “LOOKING AT THE PAPER!”, the major decline in her mental health was shown.
While these off roading shots are being shown, the voice overlay continuous with the narrator who posed a rhetorical question about his parents. Asking is his mother has given him “too much freedom” or if his father has given him “too much adventure.” He gives half a reply to this by saying “my scars and bruises tell their own story.” Then wrapped up the commercial by giving a tribute to his mother and father, “so here 's to you mom and dad,” as shots of a single Jeep makes its way around “freedom and adventure.” The next shot is all all black screen with only the Jeep logo on it.
