Reflective Cover Letter

I choose this quote that Mr. Trump said as a Hasty Generalization because one thing is not related with the other in this specific subject. Securing the border is an immigration problem that has nothing to do with the very unfortunate event that happened like in Orlando and he is using very weak evidence and no real facts related to the matter to say something like that.

After listening to the panel of professors speak at the SCAD Keynote Event, "Explaining the Trump Phenomenon: Interdisciplinary Perspectives", I learned a variety of perspectives on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. These perspectives were on different topics, including how he gained his supporters, his economic policies and other policies, what could happen if he becomes president, and much more. First, Trump’s popularity was definitely a surprise to a lot of people. Many of the panelists believe that he gained his supporters by shining light on some of our nation and government’s hidden problems. So he ultimately used fear to gain voters. One professor showed a poll showing that an overwhelming majority of people voting for Trump

Wanda, I am sending this E-mail following our conversation about having Jo come to the CLC to provide an in-service to the staff about "Prosthetic Eye."

Presidential candidate Donald Trump, has used rhetorical fallacious tactics, to persuade his audience into voting for him. Fallacies may exploit emotional triggers in the listener, or take advantage of social relationships between people.

President Trump’s charisma is a key reason for why he has been so effective in capturing the focus of Millions in the United States and even Billions worldwide. President Trump is always changing. Just when people think they’ve begun to understand him (i.e. what he might say or do), he often does something to prove their assumption wrong. During the election, whenever the media attention would start to deviate from Donald Trump, some sort of a new controversy would suddenly arise, (e.g. like with his plan for a temporary travel ban from countries that were predominantly Muslim, dubbed the “Muslim Ban”), which directed the media right back onto himself. Whether intentional or not, President Trump’s controversies essentially drowned out his competition during the election, detracting all the attention from his more experienced political

Trump began posting extreme messages to stand out from other candidates during the election and still posts intense content to create more attraction in his presidency. As a matter of fact, the article “How Marketing Helped Donald Trump Win the 2016 Election.” agrees when it states that “Trump created and communicated an offering “value” of delivering change in exchange for the risk and time “price” voters paid to consider voting for him. Trump’s communication plan used the campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” to resonate with groups or target markets of people he wanted to reach…”. Essentially, Trump would post messages that would promote such as building a wall and creating a travel ban to prevent illegal immigration. He made more risks to achieve his goal of winning more people over by targeting

How did Donald Trump appeal to the public? First, Trump emphasized on Clinton’s weaknesses such as her e-mail scandal. The result of the scandal resulted in a loss of trust for Clinton, by voters (Cristina Silva, para. 3). Second, Trump stayed confident during the race and never let his guard down. Trump got the attention of voters by being bold and demanding change (Cristina Silva, para. 4). Third, Trump had learned how to communicate with the public through his career on television. He could use what he learned from being on television to get publicity during debates and on other news networks. (Cristina Silva, para. 5). Fourth, Trump was well known before the election. The people who were well aware of Trump before the election tended to vote for him (Cristina Silva, para. 6). Fifth, Trump had enough money to self run his campaign and the extra donations helped in developing a new standard for campaigning (Cristina Silva, para. 7). Sixth, Trump appealed to voters with his plans on immigration and stopping Muslims from coming into the country. He taught civilians on how immigration is disruptive in our communities (Cristina Silva, para. 8,10). Seventh, Trump’s success as a businessman gave voters the impression that he will be a successful president (Cristina Silva, para. 11). Eighth, Trump gets points across with ease because he doesn’t use complicated words, making his plans easy to understand (Cristina Silva, para. 14). Ninth, Trump tells things how they are and is honest about what he thinks. Voters see him as a trustworthy candidate (Cristina Silva, para. 15). Tenth, Trump reached out to voters. During his campaign he went far and wide to spread what he had to say out to voters. He would also go off script in order to make his speeches more meaningful and from the heart (Cristina Silva, para. 19-20). Eleventh, Trump fought for swing states by visiting the mixed

Donald Trump recently gave a speech discussing rising Radical Islamic Terrorism, immigration from the Middle East, and a need for a rise in national security while Manchester, New Hampshire on June 13th 2016. He centers his whole speech around discussing how bad a President his opponent, Hillary Clinton, would be in difficult times. Trump graduated from the Wharton School of Finance in 1968 with a bachelor 's degree in economics, and has become a very successful businessman. He’s the Republican nominee for this upcoming presidential election, and is a very controversial candidate and person. He has come under fire for many of his views that he discusses in his June 13th speech. While Trump does make some agreeably points, he renders his speech ineffective because of his heavy reliance on Clinton’s opinion to form his own. If Trump were to become President, his stance on important issues would need to be reached with careful consideration, and not just based on doing the opposite of his opponents.

I am writing to express my interest in the Student Research Assistant position for Southampton Hoteliers Association. I apply for the job following a job posting listed on the association's website on January 1 this year.

To clarify, why don’t we start a small introduction about this guy and his speeches about immigration. First of all, Trump is a candidate for president of the United States, which is in a high position to speak up for things that may be causing many problems in the USA. As a candidate, Trump must say what he is willing or going to do after becoming a president of the United Sates. Moreover, he says many things and there is a thing that we want to point it out as a main point of our research. Trump says,” We need to stop giving legal immigrant visas to people bent on causing us harm. From the 9/11 hijackers, to the Boston Bombers, and many others, our immigration system is being used to attack us”(Trump’s website). This quotation shows us how Trump feels about immigrants and their intention about coming to the USA. Which makes us think about the consequences later on. More importantly, trump’s ideas about immigration are unrealistic; this paints a negative image or reputation of all other immigration groups.

Another very effective rhetorical strategy used in this speech is allusion. The first allusion Trump makes is about The Marshall Plan. He mentions the pillars of The Marshall Plan: Peace, sovereignty, security and prosperity. He also states that “The Marshall Plan was built on the noble idea that the whole world is safer when nations are strong, independent, and free.” The reason he alludes to The Marshall Plan is

Celine Lau wrote, “Trump has continually broken any and all unspoken rules about public speaking, denouncing ‘political correctness,’ which many of his supporters find to be a refreshing change” (2016). By not adhering to the traditional political rhetoric styles in his speeches, Donald Trump has caught the attention of many Americans. Also, much like Bernie Sanders, Trump has made statements against the political establishment, as seen in his commercial, “Donald Trump’s Argument For America.” The repetition and constant downgrading of the political establishment appeals to United States citizens who are also dissatisfied with the current political system, and it was these appeals that helped Donald Trump win the

In the Article, “Forecasting Congressional Elections Using Facebook Data” by Matthew C. MacWilliams, he uses references extensively throughout the entire article. He has over 100 references he uses to prove that Facebook could possibly predict winners. He likes to use information taken by others people to gather the information he needed to create the article he collaborated. He uses, in most of the paragraphs, data and quotes from other people. For example, he likes to show a statement made by other people to make the paragraph stronger, in his concluding paragraph he uses the saying “Election forecasting is a worthy pursuit that has tested the mettle of many voting-behavior theories (Sides 2014). MacWilliams, the author of the article, likes to do that to make his claim by using others. The author uses political poll numbers, research from political scientists and people who write about politics as well. Anyone that is interested in politics, more if you work in politics, they will go out and find things to read up on if they want to write an article, using other peoples work to make your work better is a great way to show your readers how inspired and involved in finding new things means to the author. The author uses direct quotes, paraphrases and makes his own judgment. He likes to use studies that help him prove information with numbers, and other people’s theoretical work to make his argument about Facebook stronger. With his work, he tends to make the sentences complex to the point where a reader can get lost at times with all the information being thrown at the reader at one time, but he wraps it all up to make the people interested in politics, the ones who get the most out of

Drafting my cover letter, I first read the instructions over and over until I understood what is expected. Then I began to search up examples of cover letters online, to not only see the format, but to imagine myself as the reader looking at hundreds of cover letters seeing which one is best. After I got the feel of what a good cover letter should look like, I began to reflect back at my academic life, asking several questions to myself such as what have I learned throughout my English classes in high school, has writing become easier over the years, and what do I need to work on? I then jolted down any idea I had in my head onto paper and began constructing my outline. My outline consisted of my personal goals for this course, my qualifications, what I learned in my past English classes, and my strengths/weakness. Once I finished my outline, writing the rough draft was a little complicated, since it was hard for me to form my ideas into sentences and have everything flow smoothly throughout my letter. I had things I wanted to say, but couldn’t do so because of the constraint of the 3 pages limit. So I decided leave out details that would not be as powerful as the other ones. I wanted to make sure the reader understood what my main qualities as a writer were and convince her that I am qualified for

In this course, I’ve learned the appropriate audience, purpose, structure, and voice for a cover letter. A cover letter accompanies a resume and is written formally. It is used to convince the company that you are fit to be hired, and to introduce yourself to them. The audience of a cover letter is the manager of a business or company. The purpose is to introduce yourself to a potential employer and to highlight any relevant skills you possess. The structure of a cover letter includes your address, the date, the recipient’s address, and a salutation. The opening paragraph states why you’re writing, establishes a point of contact, and gives a brief introduction of yourself. The body paragraphs highlight some of the more important points from your resume. The closing paragraph should politely request an interview at the employer’s convenience. Identify what supplementary material’s being sent, such as a writing sample or a portfolio. The reader should be thanked for their consideration and you should indicate that you’re looking forward to hearing from them. There should be a complimentary closing followed by your name and signature. The voice of a cover letter should be polite, formal, and concise.
