In her speech, Mary Fisher uses specific diction choice to bring awareness to the AIDS epidemic as well as words that are meant to heighten the fear much of the public had about AIDS at that time. Fisher addresses her primary audience to be the general public of America as well as those who have AIDS. Her purpose seems to be to make the audience more aware by scaring them into believing what she says. When she states, "It does not care where you are Democrat or Republican; it does not ask whether you are black or white, male or female, gay or straight, young or old," Mary shows that she is talking to everyone. She is successful in making her audience more aware of inflicting fear and saying that AIDS can affect anyone.

In school, there are always those who do not understand the content in class, but get by with passing grades. In Mary Sherry’s essay, “In Praise of the F Word”, she writes about how in the American school system students get passed along without any consideration for their pace or skill level (Sherry, 564-566). Sherry also discusses how unprepared the American public is after high school and college (Sherry, 564). In, “In Praise of the F word”, Sherry also discusses her own son and one of his experiences in his high school (Sherry, 565). The content of “In Praise of the F word” was very persuasive, as Sherry effectively utilizes the aristotelian appeals.

3. The audience for the essay, “Laws Concerning Food and Drink; Household Principles; Lamentations of the Father” from the Atlantic by Ian Frazier is for parents.

After reading “In Praise of the ‘F’ Word” written by Mary Sherry I can tell you first hand that she did an exceptional job using rhetoric to make the readers believe what she believes. Although she used all three,ethos,logos,and pathos, she mainly used ethos and pathos to not only get her point across but to also persuade the audience. To begin, Mary Sherry used very little logos, but when she did she used it in a very powerful and effective way. In the very first sentence of the speech she says a shocking statistic, “Tens of thousands of eighteen year olds will graduate this year and be handed meaningless diplomas.”
Her relationship and love of Christ makes her the perfect spiritual mother for Christians, a role she began to fulfill after Jesus was buried and she was no longer the Mother of the Physical Body of Christ. As the Mother of Christ, the woman who said yes to carry God’s son in her womb; Mary proves to be the new Eve, possessing a direct opposite of Eve’s disobedience to God, and become the compliment to Christ as the new Adam on the cross. At the foot of the cross, the new Eve watched her son die for the sins of the world. As depicted in Michelangelo's Pietà, Mary holds her son just as she did in the manger, but “between Bethlehem and Calvary our sins had intervened” (Zia 90). Yet Mary accepted her role as the Mother of God even in his death, and always remained the person who loved Christ the most and the person Christ loved the most, making Mary worthy of the greatest veneration and the woman whose intercession will lead us the closest to
