In the text, the author Justin C. Lake discussed the two essential concepts, history and plausibility, which were extensively used by medieval historiography. History had a serious definition during medieval age. Like what Isidore said, historical truth is credible if there is testimony follows. It was difficult for medieval historian to locate and confirm every history. Therefore, the rhetorical invention was used to fill in the gap. Rhetorical invention was based on the plausibility, rather than truth. After introduction, Lake discussed the relationship between plausibility and real history by analyzing the understandings from three authors. Richer of Saint-Remi was the first author who was mentioned in Lake’s text. Richer was defined as
My favorite place to be would be the city and are of McGregor Minnesota. About eight miles north of the small town is Big Sandy Lake, which is where my cabin is located. This is truly my favorite place to be, especially during the warm summer months.

The largest hops drying yard in the county was in Sacramento, and breweries in San Francisco were producing new types of ales that showcased the California hop.

Not all is known and the facts passed down may not reveal the whole truth. History is biased and can easily be manipulated by those with more power, and it is a modern historian’s job to weed through the commonly accepted information, and try to find the truth. If the truth is not found, then they present alternative theories to broaden the world’s knowledge on the possible course of events in the
The short story, Once More to the Lake, is about a father who takes his son on a camping trip to a lake in Maine. The father sees that the camp is exactly how he remembers it as he goes through time of reminiscence. As he goes back to nostalgic memories, he sees, through his son, that the camp is the same as when he was a child; however, his time at the camp reveals the true meaning of what time is. Time is a continuing process of the past, present, and future.
Throughout time, there will continue to be a considerable divorce between academic and popular historians. As Margaret Conrad argues, popular historians have established the tension, by recreating “historical films without the involvement of trained historians”. This underscores the troubling gulf that sometimes separates public academics approaches to the past. Academic historians have been “too long focused” on professionalism, and discarded “generating” a “dialogue” (Conrad) with their contextual audiences. The substantial dissolution between academic and popular historians is evident in a range of sources, essentially from Michelle Arrows to Herodotus and Thucydides to Bury.
As a historian, or anyone studying to be one, one must understand who is responsible for the historical text we study every day. Lucretius did not just survive time because it was passed down, but because one single man never gave up his search. Historians praise Poggio and his correspondents for the finding, restoring, and distribution of these important texts. To understand past historians, we are to understand the correspondence between these past historians. Examining these four letters and the text by Stephen Greenblatt, “The Swerve,” will help me understand what History is. What one piece of historic information conveyed clearly by these sources most deeply qualifies, limits, undermines or eve negates what you believe to be Greenblatt’s fundamental argument
What is remembered now might not be the same as what is remembered in 10 or 20 years, since memories are bound to change and even slip away as time continues. The poem “Forgetfulness” by Billy Collins and the essay “Once More to the Lake” by E.B. White both use diction and devices in order to help present how memories change and get lost as time moves on. The poem “Forgetfulness” explains how memories will slip away as one ages, and the sadness of not knowing simple facts and skills anymore. The text “Once More to the Lake” by E.B. White explains the story of a father taking his son to the lake for a week, wanting to relive and share his childhood memories. As their vacation continues throughout the week, the father is pulled between
The history of rhetorical Invention is a long one that has been looked at in different dimensions and forms. Thus, with this vast history “invention” managed to claim different views from different rhetoricians on how it’s implemented and understood. To go further in describing my point of view I need to backtrack some of the views and notions that took invention to different venues in the history of rhetoric. Therefore, this paper will work to identify the arguments that plunged invention into “Current Traditional Rhetoric” and the “ New Rhetoric”. These, fields will only work to help recognize how invention has taken shape in the margins of “Second language Writing”. Thus, I being my search by introducing how the term “Invention” have delivered
“Once More to the Lake” by E. B. White is about a man who decides to take his son on the family vacation to the lake he took with his father when he was a child. During the essay, the author reminisces on his trips to the lake during his youth and tells the reader about how things have changed. The author uses wonderful detail and at some points in the essay feels as if he is a boy again standing in his son’s place with his father next to him. The author shows the readers he is a man who enjoys time with his family and cherishes his memories at the lake by expressing how he values the way things were in the past, and the joy that he experiences at this lake with his family.
During the beginning of Bruce Olson’s life he grew up in a Lutheran church. Bruce began questioning who God was in his life, he understood God as frightening, who cast out judgment upon His creation. To help him better understand he began studying the Bible with Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Later he learns that Jesus saves His children from their own sin after this He accepts Christ to be his Lord and Savior that he cannot keep to himself. Afterward, his friend Kent shares with Bruce that he accepted Christ as his Savior. As a result, Kent invites him to his Interdenominational church where Bruce stays until he learns that God has called him into the mission field.
E.B White, author of “Once More to the Lake” explores the dynamic relationship between father and son to convey the power of memory and the inevitable chill of mortality. The symbol of the dragonfly and the lake creates a sense of duality while introducing subtle changes throughout the essay.
Historians use literary techniques and even poetic devices to craft historiographies that are compelling for readers. For example, a historian may construct a plot or narrative based on a series of events or on biographical data. A fiction author likewise relies on historical events and biographical data to construct plots: a process White calls "emplotment," (1714). Emplotment is basically the "encodation of facts," (White 1714). The storyteller is a historian, for no fiction is created out of thin air. Likewise, the historian is a storyteller, for readers of history require a
Dr. Esch English 111-07 October 8th, 2017 Ruff Life In the Rhetorical Situation, Lloyd F. Bitzer argues that what makes a situation rhetorical is similar to that which constitutes a moral action as he writes that, “an act is moral because it is an act performed in a situation of a certain kind; similarly, a work is rhetorical because it is a response to a situation of a certain kind”. (3) “By defining the rhetorical situation in this way, Bitzer further contends that rhetoric is a means to altering reality”. (4) “It is through the use of discourse that one is capable of changing reality through thought and action”. (4) “While Bitzer notes that there are more parameters for a situation to qualify as being rhetorical, he
