Rhetorical Analysis Of Blindness

In Jorge Luis Borgers essay, “ Blindness” The author writes to reflect on blindness is not anything you can’t live with or as a negative situation of your life. Though his primary audience is everybody who can see but are not appreciating their ability to see, or also anybody who is scared of blindness. The author's purpose is to make the reader value that they can see, and to make the encourage the reader to not be afraid of blindness. The author does this through using his own story about being blind, then he goes back to what he is trying to persuade and also he talks about different blind people whom have been successful in the way they don’t fall back for being blind. Through an inspiring yet sometimes insulated tone, Borges encourages

Borges is talking about how he was learning another language. He states on his writing, “ You must remember we knew nothing of the language; each We found two words. And with those two words we became almost drunk”. This shows us how he uses ethos to persuade other in his experience that when we don’t know something but we have the taste of that wisdom we enjoy it so much. When blindness gets to anyone, they want to becoming crazy because the were adapted to looking at avery color and when they loose that they think that the world ends but once you are into it you just have to accept it.

It should be seen as a way of life: one of the styles of living.” Borges makes us see how after he lost his visuality he didn't let it intimidate him, instead he kept walking forward with it, he made blindness to be afraid of him. The author didn’t let blindness to stop him from succeed. Borges knows that he has no other option than that accept the fact that he is blind and he has two options keep going or stay in the darkness of his blindness. The author expresses that, “ I owe darkness some gifts… the joy of so many lines of poetry, of so many poems, and having written another book entitled, with a certain falsehood, with a certain arrogance, In Paris of Darkness.” As he had said before he didn’t allowed blindness to intimidate him, and that make him succeed like if he had never lost his ability to see. The author encourages the reader in general to not let anything intimidate you because that makes you feel small and keeps you away from your
