Even though his efforts are impressive, he does not demonstrate enough credibility in this article and was not persuasive enough to get his point across
At the end of the article he suggests that people find a job that actually matters and can make a
In the article, Birds and Bees, No Let’s Talk about Dollars and Cents, by Ben Stein, who was a former White House speechwriter, he informs his point successfully to his son that he needs self discipline to create human and financial capital to have a more stable life. The young boy has been living large his whole life and his father wants to help him keep it going by having self-discipline to make smart decisions so he doesn’t live in fear and insecurity. Ben Stein uses many anecdotes to get the point across to his son and the readers of the New York Times that people are capable of coming from nothing and turning into something with the willpower to make smart choices. With the use of anecdotes and repetition all throughout the letter, it
Rushkoff hits the climax of his manifesto, at this point he give suggestions to the CEO’s reading his essay. Rushkoff uses soda companies as an example of presentism. “Less like Coke with its connection to legacy and advertising, more like Pepsi with its focus on social media and the now” (Rushkoff 118). Businesses in the digital age need to realize that money is a resource that promotes your enterprise.
Mr. Young is passionate about his belief that teaching US Standard English as an anchor is a threat to people who he refers to as “multiculturals” (Young 111). It is interesting to observe that he uses his first vernacular to express himself, but uses the rules of US Standard English to write it with. This use of his preferred language made the article difficult to read, and understand unless the reader was very familiar with that dialect. His dedication to his opinion came across to this reader as extremely aggressive in tone.
In the article titled “I Won’t Hire People Who Use Poor Grammar. Here’s Why,” published by Harvard Business Review on July 20, 2012, Kyle Weins claims as a business owner of two companies largely reliant on writing that good writers are more intelligent, are better at doing things completely unrelated to writing, and pay more attention to detail. Wein’s overall goal of the article is to show the connection between employees with good grammar and good work ethic. Wein’s is backing up his zero tolerance approach to bad grammar by showing these correlations. Potential employees may have prompted him to write the article because they felt his grammar test was unfair.
In the article “Why We Undervalue a Liberal Arts Education” by Adam Chapnick, the author points to reasons why the liberal arts degree is undervalued. While his article lacks direction, it is effective because he talks about the topics he promised and he backs up his claims efficiently through the use of ethos,pathos and logos. Overall his argument is legitimate and the article is well written. To my understanding, the article is analyzing the way the world looks at liberal arts degrees and how they should be teaching the students to appreciate them. Chapnick clearly thinks that the liberal arts degree is unappreciated by today’s society as you can see in this quote, “The message coming from the policy world is clear: if you want
“No, I Do Not Want to Pet Your Dog” Comprehension: When Manjoo says dogs achieved dominion over urban America, he is not being completely serious but also not sarcastic. He is exaggerating to get his point across, and what he says hold truth in some circumstances. He disapproves that dogs always feel welcome to disturb you and how owners do nothing about it. Manjoo specifically has this problem with dogs because this problem is more typically expressed with them, but he also explains that it happens with children.

Such an voice creates a strong connection with the readers, making them feel empathetic, thus strongly agreeing with (or disagreeing with) the author’s opinions. The article’s title, “We Are All Confident Idiots”, is provocative enough. The two seemly contradictive words, “confident” and “idiots” is eye catching, making people curious to find out how idiots can be confident, and why the author asserts so. In the following example in Kimmel’s show, Dunning used “absolutely” in response in contrast to “dazed” face when describing the interviewees, in this way, he vividly illustrates a immediate response for hiding one’s cluelessness, and for readers, such a “dazed” fan is clearly a potrait of “a confident
I would like to learn more about word usage because I tend to have difficulties determining where certain words should be used and not be used. I think a lesson on word usage can be beneficial to much of the class, since we were given a piece of paper with a list of what not to use. The comments Professor Denton leaves are extremely helpful for revisions; however, it takes a bit of effort to decipher what some of the suggestions say. If possible, it might be more convenient if they were written a bit more clearly. Additionally, the flexibility in Professor Denton’s schedule is very opportunistic since it gives everyone the ability to have a full discussion and not just a three-minute session.
I have learned so much through research, my peers, my class, and through my own personal experience how grammar can be best taught in the classroom. Every student needs to be given a positive learning experience on grammar. Grammar will carry into every aspect of their lives. It is important to me as a teacher to build my students foundation to have a good knowledge of grammar. I hope that I can be the teacher that my students look back on and remember how fun it was to learn in my classroom.
