Rhetorical Analysis Of War Against Boys

In the article “Turkeys in the Kitchen” Dave Barry provides plentiful amounts of ethos and pathos by implying that feminism aids men more than women. The author only indulges his own experiences, the readers only see through his point of view which is that feminism contributes to men more than women. However, these examples he provides are from his personal life, and he doesn’t ponder feminism outside of his household and his own opinion. Even though he has an abundance quantity of ethos and pathos examples, there is a deficiency of logos. Lack of logical assertions in his writing generates weak debating

In his article “Why Our Kids Are Killers,” Jack Watts accuses the progressive ideals many millenials uphold are the real reason why school shootings occur and suggests that the education system focus on teaching Judeo-Christian ideals again to counter them. To support his argument, Watts attacks what he dubs the “Progressives” and compares past generations of students to the current generation before stacking them as a fear tactic to persuade the reader to agree with his article.

In the incredible book, All Quiet on the Western Front written by Erich Maria Remarque, the reader follows Paul Baumer, a young man who enlisted in the war. The reader goes on a journey and watches Paul and his comrades face the sheer brutality of war. In this novel, the author tries to convey the fact that war should not be glorified. Through bombardment, gunfire, and the gruesome images painted by the author, one can really understand what it would have been like to serve on the front lines in the Great War. The sheer brutality of the war can be portrayed through literary devices such as personification, similes, and metaphors.

“Guys vs. Men” presents the idea that the term Man gives more bad qualities in males, unlike the term “Guy”, which, lets guys be free to indulge in stereotypical characteristic. A man is more mature responsible, and a sense of control, who knows when to be serious and show respect. A guy may have less responsibilities, more fun loving, a bit insensitive and is more relaxed. The distinguishing "guy characteristics” that Barry introduces to us is guys like neat stuff, guys like a really pointless challenge, and guys do not have a rigid and well defined moral code. Barry uses these characteristic to organize his entire essay by giving his audience examples of what the topic means and he doesn’t go off track about the topic. in the end I thought

Logos being an appeal to logic, ethos an appeal to ethics, and pathos an appeal to emotion. The political cartoon appealed to logos because it describes Japanese Americans living on the West Coast as guilty of having helped sabotage the United States even though it wasn't true.

While ethos and pathos can be found throughout the text, logos is the rhetorical device that stands out the most. Logos is used often to back up Fallows’ research and claims. Whether Fallows writes about the Clintons taking the field in 1994 or O. J. Simpson’s court case, he makes sure to include evidence. When detailing the theory that males and females are built differently, Fallows is

The last strategy Jill Lepore uses in her essay is Pathos. She intentionally tries to connect with her audience not just with reasoning but with emotion, the emotion that drives us to want to change something that we feel is wrong and that should be changed. In the rest of her essay she used pathos and logos at the same time but we will analyze Pathos. While quoting another source, “Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis” by

Founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, in her speech at the 1925 birth control conference, The Children’s Era, explains the downfalls in American society when it comes to raising children. Through this speech, Sanger is trying to further promote her nonprofit organization and display the benefits of birth control. She appears to show compassionate characteristics towards children, more specifically the future American children, as she adopts an urgent tone to encompass her listeners into her ultimate goal, widespread, effective birth control methods.

After the Vietnam War, O’Brien wrote The Things They Carried. He does so to connect his audience to the events that happened during the war. Also, he wants people, who did not experience the effects of the war, understand how the war affects soldiers, their humanity, and what they left behind. In “How to Tell a True War Story” O’Brien’s message is to point out the events of the war, and that war stories are not always true because people have different views of how the war affected them. The whole book consisted of a plethora of metaphors, but without these other rhetorical devices O’Brien would not have been as effective in getting his point across thousands of people who read his book. Therefore, O’Brien used polysyndeton to further explain what war is, antithesis to explain why war stories are true and untrue, and repetition to ensure that his audience understand what he is trying to say.

According to Victor, since the 1960s the challenges of feminism made men feel uneasy and confused about their power and identity. Women insisted that men had also to be more emotionally involved in relationship and take greater responsibility for domestic work and childcare. There have been many compromises in renegotiating more equal gender contracts. However men had great difficulties in accepting the loss of power and status that has gone

Tony Porter gave his TED talk, "A Call to Men", during TEDWomen 2010. He has told four stories from his life to taught him how to act like a man. And how to treat women. In the beginning of the TED talk, Tony Porter's stories refer to a " man box" that the way men are suppose to act or think.

Due to primary socialisation, the children in the family would then be socialised into their gender roles so then when their time comes to marry and have children, this family structure will continue: the male has the instrumental role and the woman has the expressive role. To contradict with this view from Parsons’, the feminist theory would challenge this view when considering the inequality which comes of this. One argument made by feminists is to do with the oppression which women have dealt with for many years due to their somewhat, ascribed role of being inferior to men, up until around the 1960’s.

Joey Franklin makes masterful use of rhetoric in his essay “Working at Wendy’s” to construct an entertaining and compelling argument in favor of recognizing that the workers of the service industry are more than just undistinguished drones, but rather complicated people, each with their own desires and stories. To this end, the author utilizes the effective rhetoric device of pathos, logos, and ethos. Franklin demonstrates an excellent use of imagery that serves as a conduit for empathy, which is vital for the use of pathos, the emotional appeal. In reference to logos, the appeal to logic, he paints the picture of a hard-working father that needs to provide for his family. This is a clear representation of common logic and ties into ethos, which is the rhetorical appeal to authority and ethics, in the sense that many people can relate to caring about and working to support family. For ethos, he establishes himself as your everyday working man — part of the working class. This shows that he’s clearly apt for speaking of the position he’s in, and allows the audience to relate to him through pathos.

Student achievement is one of the most significant goals that every education policy is intended to make better. Recent developments in information and communication technology (ICTs) and pedagogical improvisations create better platforms for positive student achievement. However, many aspects are associated with the overall achievement including physical, biological, and psychological aspects. All the three parts are associated with the gender. Many studies have shown that gender affects the achievement of students in schools and in most of the cases boys perform poorly as compared to girl students. This paper is intended to establish a diagnostic framework of reasons behind the underachievement of boys by critically analysing Rickard Jonsson’s research ‘Boys’ Anti-School Culture? Narratives and School Practices’.

As noted on the introductory page of this essay, images can incite emotions. Protests centered on protecting children can touch on an emotional basis of pathos. As humans, our natural instinct draws us in; prioritizing the protection of children. While pathos is certainly the highlight in the image containing the phrase, “protect our children”, logos is certainly included.
