While some may say that the Upper Midwest has various discouraging characteristics, Debra describes her passion and endless love for the upper Midwest plains, although some may not see her perspective of the Upper Midwest as she sees it. Debra persuades her audience by using juxtapose by describing how the upper Midwest has much more resources that can’t be found anywhere else. As well she uses analogy and tone to show how other people think of her land as a wasteful plain where no even agriculture could be grown because of how horrible it is. She describes both positions so the reader can listen to both the good reviews of the land and as well the bad ones.

GRANT HACKETT OR GRANT SMACKIT, why are we spending so much time recording his melt downs?

I have chosen to focus on the columnist Steve Chapman who writes for the Chicago Tribune under the opinion column on the Chicago Tribune website. He most commonly writes editorials showing both sides, but puts an emphasis on his opinion almost to persuade the reader towards his side. I believe he would be a good person to analyze because he keeps current with the pieces he writes, and they are all focused on controversial topics that arise such as the recent Las Vegas shooting, or the legalization of marijuana in the state of Illinois. Additionally, his topics can also broaden out to writing about international affairs in an attempt to keep his readers informed on the world around them. He has been a part of the editorial board for the Chicago

In the CNN article titled Sacramento “Police Shot Man Holding Cellphone in his Grandmother's Yard”, the authors target was an audience from a broad spectrum of political ideologies to inform them about the current police shooting of Stephon Clark. The rhetoric pathos was effectively utilized with various media and even the title to evoke certain emotions from the readers. Logos along with ethos supported information and gave the article added credibility like body camera, audio, and direct quotes from the officers on scene. However, the authors’ view on the issue was not clearly stated rather highlights the different perspectives.

The Confederacy gained support after shots rang at Ft. Sumter on xxx 1861. Before that event, Arkansas preferred to remain neutral and hoped for a peaceful outcome to the divided country. President Lincoln’s decision to issue a call for troops signified an attempt to use violence to preserve the union, and triggered a vote that would change Arkansas forever. The elected leaders of Arkansas by a margin of 69 to 1 passed a disunion ordinance and chose to stand with the Confederate States to oppose Northern aggression, unfortunately there loyalty went underappreciated as Arkansas’ geographical and political significance went overlooked by confederate leaders and their war strategy. This strategic error resulted in limited government support

Andrew Johnston English 101 Wendy Rider October 10, 2015 Rhetorical Analysis of “The Rules about the Rules” In the article “The Rules about the Rules,” Stephen L. Carter uses the rhetorical strategy of pathos to speak about integrity. A topic that is heard by Americans, but no one knows what the true definition is. Carter writes "The Rules about the Rules" using stories and examples that people can relate too, to persuade the audience that we say a lot of things we don’t mean. As Carter goes from one main point to another, he makes his points clear.

The Vietnam war; a war that brought out the worse from the best people. This happened because of the situations that the war brought to these soldiers. Not knowing the bad guys from the good guys, being alert all the time, thinking about your loves, killing people that you don't know anything about, destroying villages, and many other actions. These

D. Watkins is a writer whose work has become famous across the world. He’s published in several big magazines and has had several interviews on TV. He writes his stories to try and bring more awareness about uneducated low income African Americans. He is a professor at Coppin State University and teaches English. His goal is to help educate his students as well as others through reading. In his article (my neighborhood revolution, one letter at a time) he stated “I am going to do everything in my power to make reading cool and destroy that Dub mentality, which is so common in Baltimore and many other low-income areas across America”

Journalists are infamous for their motivation to produce hard hitting editorials, twisting the truth for their own selfish benefit. Steve Chapman strays away from this stereotype by ensuring integrity in every article. Continuously, Chapman strives to present the public with his analytical opinions. Douglas Adams describes the drive of Steve Chapman; “To give real service, you must add something which cannot be bought of measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity”. Steven Chapman, who writes weekly op-eds for the Chicago Tribune, delivers insight into national headlines using suggestive rhetoric appeals to address the reader’s fears of uncertainty followed by accredited reasoning, a condescending tone targeted at the written subject, calling the reader for reformation within society, and dashes to separate general statements from definitive fact, shifting from a mission-based point of view to thought-provoking opinionated writing in order to spark motivation within his readers using his opinions so that they can take action to better their communities in hopes of improving future national development.

I found Dave Barry’s article to be very funny, but true. Throughout this article Dave Barry states his bias opinion on the way he views college. He is basically making fun of the education system. Dave Barry uses his humor in a way of arguing the concept of how we are learning things that we will never use in life. I think this article is similar to the other articles we have read, but uses a different tone to express it.

Daniel Pink, starts of his presentation immediately with a attention grabbing phrase, “I need to make a confession”, this is very effective as most speeches do not start with such an open and mystic phrase. Therefore, the attention of his audience has been grabbed and this is exactly what every presenter wants to achieve. In addition, Daniel Pink creates an amusing atmosphere with that introduction to his presentation where he says, “I made a huge mistake…. I went to Law school”. With this he achieves an instant connection with his audience as him and his audience understand that going to law school takes a lot of time, effort, money and intelligence. Hereby, Daniel Pink has the courage and confidence to make fun of himself, knowing that what he is using

Keating forces him to create a poem on the spot in front of the class, although he is well-aware of Todd’s resistance to speak in front of others, after he write a poem on his own as requested. Mr. Keating questions Todd and installs him with a sense of confidence in his own abilities, “Mr. Anderson thinks that everything inside of him is worthless and embarrassing. Isn't that right, Todd? Isn't that your worst fear? Well, I think you're wrong. I think you have something inside of you that is worth a great deal”. Mr. Keating teaches Todd to think freely for himself and that these thoughts and opinions he has are valued. In the end, Todd becomes self-reliant, confident in himself and his ideas and beliefs. He does not conform to society and distinguishes himself amongst the rest, maintaining his own voice, and he overcomes his previous shy and isolated self, becoming a leader, when introduced to these ideas of individualism and

Todd was the character that was the most affected by Mr. Keating’s poetic teachings; the viewers could even say “poetry makes a man” based on Todd’s improvements. At the beginning of the movie, Todd has a moment, when we understand and may even pity Todd because he says that no one would listen to him and he was not the leading type. The poem of O Me! O Life! greatly resembled Todd’s situation. In the poem the audience hears of a narrator who is suffering through life and the audience feels despair, but then the audience hears there is an answer! The answer being that we are here and contribute a verse, showed that there is hope after all and that Todd can be more than just a person who is suffering through life with no confidence. This poem initiated the confidence and the Carpe diem also helped Todd to not only have confidence, but to be a leader that the viewers can admire. Also showing that Todd had changed was the fact that in the beginning of the movie, Todd was the last one to stand on the desk, and see things from a different perspective, and address Mr. Keating as O Captain! My Captain! , which is also a poem. In the middle of the movie the
