Sky Krauthamer Jan. 14, 2016 Homework 1 ### Rhetorical Analysis -------------- ###### Preface & Intro -------------- Over Christmas break this year my family took a short trip to Argentina, a place none of us had ever been. We didn’t know what to expect and after taking a few short tours and exploring Buenos Aires, we got a glimpse of its beautiful thriving culture. The document I chose to analyze is the Argentinian 10 peso note. It is a solid beige strip of slightly glossy cotton paper, slightly wider and shorter than US notes. On the front there is a portrait of Manuel Belgrano, who created the Argentinian flag and was an Economist / military leader during the Argentinian Wars of Independence. On the back is a tribute to Pedro Ríos, …show more content…

As per usual, the design conveys the numberical value through **mixed modes**. On either corner there are images with the number 10 making it easy for the user to quickly **filter** by denomination. On both the front and back "DIEZ PESOS" reinforces identity of the bill. The green coloration throughout the bill is oddly reminiscent of US notes. The bill folds nicely into a wallet. As I began to **assimilate** into the Argentinan lifestyle, I realized how little 10 Pesos can actually buy. In my head I had been associating the green 10 in the corner with that of the US 10 dollar bill, and with it my prior understanding of its value. That was the **paradox** that actually lead me not to spend it: > my bias lead me to believe it was worth more than it was. #### What is The Point ------------------------------------------- The equivilent of roughly 0.18 trillion USD is spent around the world on an average day. Almost everyone in the world will, at some point in their life, experience handling cash. Given that paper is a relatively cheap commodoty, a logical question people ask themselves …show more content…

There is quite a bit of negative space on the note, leaving room for a watermarked image of Manuel Belgrano. In the space that occupies around two thirds of the note, there are mixed potentially unrelated images ? that vaguely contain security features, primarily what appears to be micro-print and moire patterning. The back stacks an image of the Bandera monument and a green drum on top of strange looking set of lines that is supposed to look like a common Argentinian weaving pattern. Although the woven pattern appears to be a great security feature, it wouldn’t be identifiable to an ordinary observer. The light lamination does very little to keep the bill from tearing, compared to the Mexican peso or the Euro notes which have thicker plastic

In How to Tame a Wild Tongue, Gloria Anzaldua uses rhetoric and personal anecdotes to convey and persuade her argument that Latin Americans are forced to relinquish their cultural heritage, and to conform to white society. The evidence she provides comes in a variety of platforms, both literal and rhetorical. Rhetorical, being through emotional, logical, and credible appeals through her text. Literal being explicitly stated, without any further analysis necessary. When she utilises the modes of appeals, they are subtle within the texts, which leads the reader to analyse as they read.

Chicana/o was positioned between indigenism and indigeneity because it emerged from various forms of creativity and political face during the Chicano movement.

So why do we still have it? The penny is outdated and unnecessary. The penny costs an irrational amount of money compared to what it's worth.

That means that annually, the United States loses 60 million dollars in pennies every year!
