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.

As American citizens, we have long been subject to the back and forth between the Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill. Since the very beginning, both parties have struggled with each other over power and policy, with us, the citizens, in the middle. With every reelection, a new president along with a political group attempts to establish a new regime of executive, legislative, and judicial power in D.C. Recently, however, with the term of President Obama, Congress has favored a more republican ideology, creating an impassive lawmaking system that is incapable of authorizing effective pieces of legislature. As a result of this inability, the president has made several authoritative decisions, completely bypassing congressional review, to establish a trust between the American people and

Main Idea: I resolutely believe that the message that the author of “Sleeping Ugly” was trying to convey was, real beauty comes from the inside. This is evident in several instances that took place. Right from the beginning, it is stated “Princess Miserella was a beautiful princess if you counted her eyes… but inside… she was the meanest”. This definitely means that, although Miserella looked good to the eyes, her personality was absolutely terrible.

Beauty and ugliness is often used to justify the reaction of others in the novel, Frankenstein; in which the relation between external appearance and internal desires are shown to be related. The theme of how appearance affects judgement is often demonstrated through the characters response to the monster’s physical being. Shelley depicts this situation through Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the Delacey family, and through the monster himself. The use of appearance to determine judgement is shown to be a negative habit. By automatically associating ugliness with evil, and beauty with innocence, society unintentionally develops a negative being in those considered ugly, while at the same creating an illusion of innocence over beautiful individuals.

For this rhetorical analysis essay I decided to reflect upon the somewhat recent documentary titled “The Social Dilemma”. From gen-zians to baby boomers, this film was dedicated to educating people on the impact of social media on today’s society as we have entered a tech-frenzy world. Just like many other people, I wanted to see what the craze was about when this film was produced back in 2020. From interviews with former tech company employees to societal examples, Jeff Orlowski used various rhetorical strategies to convey an important message within his world-famous film. Growing up during a time where social media was just developing and kids weren’t glued to their iPad’s, I have very clearly noticed the effects social media has had on,

But when it encounters the ugly it shrinks back and rejects it and turns away from it and is out of tune and alienated from it.” (Plotinus 2) Yes, this completely makes sense! If I were to meet someone in a friendly manner at first, they may possess certain qualities that are eye-grabbing and that I deem “attractive” or “captivating” and I may feel some sort of connection almost immediately, whether it be friendly or something more, because of the two souls opening themselves up and welcoming themselves to one another and seeing “something akin to it or a trace of its kindred reality, is delighted and thrilled and returns to itself and remembers itself and its own possessions.” (Plotinus
