She uses a myriad of inclusive language to connect herself with her audience, and create an emotional bond between her and the reader. In her editorial, she uses the word “we” numerous times to identify her and the reader as one. One statement she makes says, “ We beg to add, that none of the papers published by our people, in the States, answer our purpose.” By using the pronoun “we”, she creates a secure atmosphere for the reader to feel the emotion and passion MAry Cary is writing with. In the first sentence of her editorial, she begins it with the word “we” to emphasize that she includes everyone in her audience, excluding none.
In this case, the main point in the book is the development of racial identity as well as the challenges that one may face when attempting to hold a meaningful conversation regarding race. The author wants to engage the audience in an excellent conversation about race and she does this by allowing the time for the communication with the self. The examples deployed in this context are from her experiences as a professor at the college and as a parent. The author has an uncanny ability to highlight conversations with which she has

I am Lauriel James, and I am here today to prosecute Adam Armstrong for the death of his brother William Armstrong also known by his nickname Doodle. I want to thank the judge and the jury today for their time and attention to this tragic case.

As we all know on August 29th, 1918 the defendant and his brother William Armstrong affectionately known as Doodle were headed to Horsehead landing so that the defendant could give Doodle a swimming lesson.
The author does so by stating, “Whatever divided them—race, religion, language—was not as strong as the patriotism that united them. This broadening of our experience breaks down walls and builds tolerance.” The author uses emotions and logic by explaining how citizens are divided by their looks, beliefs, and language, but having military service required, it creates a strong community that allows people of any race, belief, and language to connect. That patriotism is stronger and much more well-connected then to having citizens divided into their tiny communities. It is clear, therefore, that the author is using emotions to make the reader acknowledge our rights and how it’s our duty to work together to make our nation better and
At the beginning of the text it states the quote, ”Governor George Wallace stopped two black men from a doorway trying to enter.” This is showing the theme of acceptance because policeman were not accepting others for being who they are and taking them as a normal citizen. Another thing that shows the theme of acceptance is the next quote, ”The police still don’t know who set off the bomb killing four.” This is showing acceptance because whoever is doing the bombings really doesn’t want to accept blacks and whites together and is going to do whatever to not let it happen. The last example of how the theme is acceptance is because at the end of the text it states, ”Black and whites worked together risking their lives to push for a change.”

According to Google, the definition of suffering is the state of undergoing pain distress or hardship. When others are suffering and we look away, we automatically take the side of the tormentor.

In Kimberly Jones’ speech “How can we win?” , she uses an abhorring tone to highlight the injustice done to black communities especially in america. She uses the pathos way of speaking, analogies, juxtapositions and repetition on the road to finishing her speech. First Jones uses the Monopoly analogy.

In 1986 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Elie Wiesel, makes two strong statements in his acceptance speech. Wiesel was 15 years old when he entered the camp in Auschuitz.

Although many affirmative action programs include the members of other racial and ethnic groups”. Rankine is able to pull together the underlying implications of affirmative action on page 13 (Section 1) where the narrator is describing an interaction between (presumably) two women who attended the same college. The other woman (who is white) states that “she, her father, her grandfather, and you, all attended the same college”, here we as readers are given an immediate understanding of the reason for this conversation (Rankine 13). The white woman set a trap, disguising the lunch meeting as a friendly conversation whose form and perspective immediately change with the introduction of college admissions into the conversation. The narrator then goes on to explain that “She wanted her son to go there as well, but because of affirmative action or minority something–she is not sure what they are calling it these days … her son wasn’t accepted” (Rankine 13).
