On my honor, I have not given or received any unauthorized aid on this work. When famed writer, F. Scott Fitzgerald, responds to a short story sent by a family friend named Frances Turnbull, Fitzgerald states that he does not believe the story is saleable and that Turnbull is not putting enough work into the writing. In the excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Life in Letters, Fitzgerald attempts to argue his views on the essence of writing by providing logical reasoning and by using a wise and eloquent
Each quote that I mentioned in this paragraph shows the envy Catharine has and with that being said the second quote “I was meant to pick it up. That was what maids were meant to do---pick up their master 's and mistress 's things and put them back in their place (215). This quote is placed immediately after Catharina tries to destroy the painting of Griet by stabbing it with a knife. When Jan Vermeer prevents her from doing this, the knife falls on the floor. Griet knows that she is expected to pick it up.
Work is required to earn the money to provide the necessities of life, but this duty should never be given to children. In her speech, Florence Kelley uses logos, pathos, and a shift to voting rights to build her argument of why child labor laws need to be enforced nationwide. The first way the author builds her argument is through logos, a logical appeal. Kelley utilizes an assailment of facts and statistics to lead her assertion. This is effective because of the shockingly large number of children working absurd and miserable hours.
Such dreary diction stirs up emotion of desolation and misery as Hawthorne’s word choice connects and reminds his audience of dark thoughts. By opening his novel with such a grim subject, Hawthorne creates a contemptuous tone as he indirectly scorns the austere Puritans for their unforgiving and harsh manners. With the demonstrated disdain, Hawthorne criticizes puritan society and prepares his audience for further
In Florence Kelley’s speech to the National American Woman Suffrage Association, she brings to light the issue of child labour in a serious and somber tone. Using pathos and persuasive rhetoric, Kelley skillfully manipulates her fellow women to become motivated to gain the right to vote in order to take action against the evils of child labour. Kelley’s speech is filled with pathos, attempting to persuade her audience to realize the magnitude of the issue of child employment to pull the heartstrings of women. She introduces the problem as “two million children under the age of sixteen years old who are earning their bread,” showing the large number of young people currently working to earn money to make a living.
Compared to now, the early 1900s can be seen as an assault to the basic rights we are familiar with in the United States. From the horrid meat standards, to women’s disenfranchisement and child labor, it would take the Progressive Era to end these practices, bringing the United States closer to the one known today. In 1905, more than a decade before women were granted the right to vote, Florence Kelley spoke before the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Speaking on behalf of child and female workers, she passionately opposes the exploitation of children. Using various rhetorical strategies, Kelley crafts an argument on her insight on child labor and her true goal of women’s suffrage.
Florence Kelley is a reformer who fights for child labor laws and better working conditions for women. At the National Assembly Women Suffrage Association in Philadelphia on July 22,1905, Kelly recites a speech talking about the issues of child labor laws. When talking to her audience, she uses rhetorical strategies such as repetition of the many negative aspects of child labor through specific examples, criticism of states regarding their policies, and emotional appeal. By using a combination of factual evidence and emotional appeal, Kelley hopes to get her point across by convincing her audience of the problems with child labor.
On July 22, 1905, children’s rights activist, Florence Kelley, addressed the issue of child labor in her speech at the National American Suffrage Association in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Throughout the speech, Kelley calls attention to the harsh working conditions and long hours that the working children, especially the young girls, endure in factories and mills. Kelley adopts a passionate tone to emphasize her dedication to the child labor movement and to persuade others to contribute to the movement in order to prevent the oppression that the working children face. Kelley employs repetition to emphasize the long hours that the children work, oxymoron to contrast the opportunities of the children to the conditions of working in mills, and rhetorical questions to point out the actions not being taken by legislatures and voting men. The first rhetorical device Kelley utilizes is the repetition of the phrase “tonight while we sleep” to emphasize the importance of what the rest of society does while the children work (18).
Fredrick Douglass started off his speech as a humble individual. He let the audience know he was nervous and didn’t prepare a punctual speech to present, he was going with the flow. Although Fredrick wasn’t a slave anymore he still expressed the great distance between that plantation and the hall in which he was being granted the honor to speak. He made his audience aware by noting that the United States at seventy-six years of age. Telling his audience that the U.S is still a young nation in the “impressible” stage of its existence, and suggests a hope that this means it’s can still be changed.
We’re human beings, and we deserve to be treated as such.” Another example of a literary element on page 66 is repetition which states, “We, like our husbands, should be allowed to own property. We, like our husbands, should have a say over the money we earn. We, like our husbands, should have a determining voice in the guardianship of our children. And we, like our husbands, should have the right to vote!”

The vampire in lore is typically an older man, corrupted by the world, who takes the innocence of a younger woman whom he leaves withered and aged.
