For the most part I agree with the writer idea. I like what the writer said how the justice was served by the court. Kinkl murdered 4 people and attempted 26 murder case, so he deserve 112 years to be in prison. Even though Kinkl has a mental disorder problem, he was a danger to the community and needed to be watched by the government for the public safety. The audience can clearly see what happened on the Kiniakl cause from the court report that is presented.

Landon Bolotte In”Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury uses the literacy of irony to shape the theme that books are controversial and are an important part of our society and our lives. First, the "concept that books are controversial and are a very important part of our culture and our lives' ' relates to the people in the novel and their interactions with society. According to the text it states“You know, I’m not afraid of you at all ... So many people are. Afraid of firemen, I mean.
Before delving into Azari’s conclusions on mandate rhetoric, her methodology is interesting. She analyzes a dataset of news conferences, television and radio addresses, minor addresses made during travel and at meetings of groups such as the Chamber of Commerce, messages to Congress, and various remarks and memoranda addressed to members of the executive branch, totaling 1,467 communications from 1933 to 2009. The important thing to note is that she confines her dataset to the first 70 days of each term of a president. She argues this controls for “exogenous events and facilitates comparison across presidential administrations.” The problem with this small size is that it limits the dataset to roughly 5 percent of a single presidential term.
Kozol’s audience seems to be toward the liberate American during the 1980’s. At the beginning of his essay he mentioned about one of the Founding Father and the president during those times and other things that were happening at that time. Making most of the modern reader like I am feel a little left out since we are not from that time period and understand less of the political references that he seem to be making throughout his writing. Also, the fact that he is trying to inform his audience it seem like the audience that he is aiming toward to is people that did not know about the illiteracy issues. In fact, it will explain his reason of using quotes and stories from the illiterate people as his only evidence of his essay to evoke the reader’s

In “What We Are to Advertisers” and “Men’s Men and Women’s Women” both Twitchell and Craig reveal how advertisers utilize stereotypes to manipulate and persuade consumers into purchasing their products. Companies label their audience and advertise to them accordingly. Using reliable sources such as Stanford Research Institute, companies are able to use the data to their advantage to help market their products to a specific demographic. Craig and Twitchell give examples of this ploy in action by revealing how companies use “positioning” to advertise the same product to two demographics to earn more profit. Craig delves more into the advertisers ' plan by exposing the science behind commercials.

After reading Shapiro’s definition of neurosis, I found myself agreeing with him and seeing how his definition can be applied to everyday problems and some mental illness. Shapiro describes neurosis as a reaction against one’s personality in which the person is cut off from oneself. That the person might not understand why he or she is behavioring in a certain way, and also why the person might not know why he or she wants to do something and why he or she has to do something (Shapiro, 1999), but that the person has to do it. For example, a client who is seeing a therapist because he has an obsession with wash his hands the client might not fully understand why he wants to wash his hands a certain amount of times but it is something that he
Elie Wiesel strives for peace in a tormented world and atonement for human dignity as he implores Ronald Reagan to reconsider his decision to visit a Bitburg cemetery, a site where graves of Hitler's Waffen SS were found. Wiesel, Jewish political activist and Holocaust witness, begins his address to President Reagan by setting his medal as a symbol inclusive of “all those who remember what SS killers have done”. Using an anecdote of his own personal experience, and a rhetorical question, Wiesel uses humour and an understatement to claim he learned “small things” over the last forty years; however, “the perils of language and those of silence” are anything but. This emphasizes the magnitude of their importance. His deliberate diction is evident
Mark Twain, an 18th century humorist, was known for his critical and satirical writing. In one of his most famous essays, “ Fenimore Coopers Literary Offenses” Twain addresses Coopers inability to realistically develop a “situation” and his failure to effectively back up his stories in order for them to be more plausible. To dramatically convey his unimpressed and sarcastic attitude, he applies biting diction, metaphors and hypophora throughout this work . By continuously using biting diction, Twain develops a mocking tone towards Fenimore Cooper’s incapability to create even the simplest of storylines. In the title of the work a sarcastic tone is evident; the word choice is utilized to reinforce the argument stating how Coopers work is an offense to the world of literature.
Theodor Herzl, “A Solution to the Jewish Question” (1896). In his essay Herzl makes an appeal to not only the great powers, but fellow Jews for a Jewish homeland. He argues that the Jewish people have long been persecuted in foreign lands solely due to antisemitism, and that as long as the Jewish people remain a people without a land they will meet with unfair persecution no matter where they go. To solve this problem Herzl advises against the continuous displacement of the Jewish people, but for the establishment of a Jewish state.
Discussion of Rhetorical Techniques Before doing this Iowa Narrative Project, I have never heard about the Black Angel before. It was come up by one of my teammates in class after the professor had announced the project. When I first heard the name of “The Black Angel”, I thought it was just a legend instead of a public space. After understanding some brief information about “the Black Angel” from my teammates and searching the stories behind the statue through the Internet, I found it was actually a very interesting topic with lots of murky myths around it waiting for us to examine. We then quickly came to an agreement on the “Black Angel” topic and started to divide the work.
Taylor Scuorzo d Rhetorical Analysis 3/20/23 Rhetorical Analysis Doing benevolent and selfless things for others can occasionally lead to adverse results. In his enlightening and illuminating commencement address given at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on May 19, 2018, Jason Reynolds emotionally persuades and informs the graduates at the college through the use of anecdotes and metaphors to show that ignoring the significant problems of the world will not help us fix them. To strengthen his speech, Reynolds uses past personal experiences and the comparison of objects to others to help prove the theme portrayed throughout the speech.
The United States is made up of some of the most diverse and interesting cultures in the world. Jamila Lyiscott proves this by showing her different dialects and how they are all equally important. Lyiscott believes that the way she speaks towards her parents, towards her friends, and towards her colleagues are all one in the same. Throughout the entirety of her speech, Lyiscott changes up her vocal patterns and dialects so that the audience can understand first hand what each of these dialects are. When she talks about her father, Lyiscott uses her native tongue, when she talks to her fellow neighbors and close friends she switches it up to a more urbanized dialect, and when she is in school she masks the other two dialects with a professional sounding language.
