This passage really stood out to me because it is a fond and genuine moment between two characters that often come across as lost and are exploited incessantly by Russell. The story that Suzanne retells is humorous and preposterous, revealing the personality and the carefree attitude that any ordinary teen should possess. You can see a real warmth and friendship between the two girls, as an episode of something close to normality briefly suspends itself in their portfolio of otherwise offbeat experiences.

Archer opens her essay with the description of the “grinning man” to describe the appearance of the homeless man and how he carries himself. This also is a good attention grabber from the beginning and keeps the reader's attention. Also this can lead the reader to having an idea of the character. She mention "baggy trousers", "one missing sleeve", and "buttonless shirt." The first running from 1 through 6 Ascher was very descriptive with what was happening and kept it in third person perspective.

Rhetorical Précis 1: In his essay, “ Love and Death in The Catcher in the Rye” (1991), Peter Shaw claimed that Holden behavior and way of thinking is due to common abnormal behavior in a certain time for teenagers (par. 10).

After reviewing Leslie Steiner ted talk: ‘Crazy Love’, I found it to be an eye opener as well as a life long lesson. As I was evaluating her speech, I thought she did a good job overall, although some areas could have used some minor adjustments and/or improvements. Starting with her Topic selection; I thought it was a great topic considered it appealed to the audience who looked like they were between the ages of 20-45, just around the age she had mentioned for domestic violence victims. I thought her introduction were missing a few elements that could have made it that much better. I felt her introduction could have been more confident and including an audience adaptation could have made her introduction that much stronger.

“Ordinary Girl” is a song that doesn't just talk about her emotions but also about how other people see her. This song is shown by using figurative language, Imagery, and personification. figurative language is writing or speech meant to be understood imaginatively instead of literally. In the song “Ordinary Girl” the best example that I could find was “I choke on my own words” because it means that she messes up what she says sometimes but doesn't actually choke. Imagery is the use of language to create specific images in the audience's mind.

The “What Girls Are Made Of” Nike advertisement is inspired by a popular Russian song titled, “What Girls Are Made Of.” Judging by the title, the commercial is clearly geared towards girls, more specifically girls who are interesting in athletic activities and sports. While Nike’s objective is to sell its sports wear, it also sells an empowering message that defies stereotypes through the effective use of rhetoric. To begin, the advertisement begins in the setting of a stage and a large audience listening in agreement as a little girl in yellow charms, “Girls are made up of flowers, and rings and gossip and marmalade.” These are just few of many belittling stereotypical descriptives for a girl.
