The Crisis No. 1 As we read this passage it is full of different rhetorical strategies and the reason they were put in there. The writer’s style is the way he uses his language and the rhetorical strategies that he might use to enhance his writing. As I read the passage I came across syntax which is the war he puts his words to send the reader a message, and ad hominem arguing his point against the person instead of the argument. The rhetorical used in the reading is used cleverly enough to prove a point. One of the first rhetorical strategies he uses is syntax and the definition is the way an author chooses to join words into phrases and sentences. The words he uses for his syntax are

It matters not where you live…the evil or the blessing will reach you.” The reason why he uses you repeatedly and often is to address them or you so you can feel personally committed to the words he is saying. When he uses you instead of the colonist or people it is much stronger to use you there is a personal connection with the speaker and the listener. The use of you is to feel personally committed because in times like this people only worry about themselves and that’s the nature of humans. The nature of humans is always to care for themselves especially in hard situations when you are being addressed personally you have that sensation that you must help yourself. The person speaking knew that and addressed them personally as you in order to get his message through the people. It helped get the message through the people and soon got what he wanted. In conclusion the passage is full of rhetorical strategies like the ones I have used to describe the feelings of the man trying to send out his message to the colonist and the syntax used as well as the pathos to show how he feels about the king and the wrong choices he has been doing he is trying to get the colonist to go against him and things would improve without his ruling. He used them well to prove a point and send his message; those are good uses of rhetorical

"Spin" chapter rhetorical devices The chapter "Spin" is really cool to read because Tim O'Brien uses flashbacks in the chaptg and goes from one arecdote to the present to amther anecdote, and the stuies don't seem to connect, but he follows his modem train of thought and tells stories wherever the train takes him. O'Brien also uses ethos as a former soldier, and creates pathos through his stories. The most prominent and interesting rhetorical device he uses is verisimilitude. Verisimilitude is when fiction seems realistic, as if the events had actually happened.

The author uses rhetorical devices such as as strong word choice to express his opinion. For example, in the text he says, “Integration of smartphones into daily life appeals to cause a brain drain.” This example has strong vocabulary and helps communicate his opinion.
My assignment three for English 250 is about rhetorical analyzing a text from the Culture book.
Advertising is all around us. Companies of all sorts rely heavily on internet, television, print, and various other types of media outlets as means to reach their audience. Advertising aims to bring in more customers and thereby, more profit. All of this is complicated by the fact that, out of the vast number of products and services available, companies want to prove that theirs are the best. From this is born the tricky and unique language of advertising. In their respective articles, With These Words, I Can Sell You Anything and The Language of Advertising, both William Lutz and Charles A. O’Neill discuss popular ploys used by marketing advertisers to rope in the most customers. Lutz takes a
This passage can be divided into three distinct sections. The first section is where he uses rhetorical strategies to get his point across.

King incorporates a myriad of stylistic devices that shape and develop the theme of the passage in the book. Through the periodic use of rhetorical questions such as,
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a government website that provides information about various diseases, disabilities, disorders, etc.. The CDC provides multiple webpages about Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) that list and provide information about causes, treatments, variations, and signs/symptoms of the disorder. On their informative pages, they use rhetorical devices to better portray their message. The CDC effectively uses the three rhetorical devices, pathos, ethos, and logos, to reach their goal of informing their target audience and providing a clear perspective on Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
As the new age of philosophy arises, the syntax that is used will advance as well. Neo-classic writers, use many rhetorical devices along with diction to enhance the meaning of their writing. They use an elevated form of diction that many people of the 17th and 18th century did not use. Yet all their diction had been in the appraisal to god and his glorious works here on this earth. Anne
Our teacher, Mrs. Hetrick, provided the answer to our question: “These essays could have easily been generated by a computer program. They tell me nothing about yourselves; why in the world you are telling me all of this? You need to make me care about the message you are conveying, otherwise, your writing is useless.” She then told us that while we were all communicating in the proper format, we had failed to take into consideration whom our audience was. In order to truly persuade and influence our audience, we had to do more than place complicated ideas into a grammatically immaculate sentences; we need to show the audience why they should care about our writing; otherwise, they will just lose interest. I realize now that this experience provided a stable foundation for what I consider to be an example of passionate rhetorical ability, which helps me reflect on what authors Wallace deems as “good” through their rhetorical strategies.
In his article “If Technology Is Making Us Stupid, It’s Not Technology’s Fault,” David Theo Goldberg effectively informs the reader about the effects that computers in the home and school environment could have on the future education of the coming generations. Goldberg achieves this by executing defined organization and adding unique comparisons about the potentially crippling effects technology can have on a society when put into the wrong hands.

The book is divided into five sections, each one being subdivided into different strategies on how to use rhetoric to your advantage, in any given situation.
Logos: It is an appeal to the mind with the use of logic, rationality and critical reasoning to persuade the audience. The author uses logos in his article to make a logical connection with the topic. For example, the author uses the explanation of ideas in the article and employs lots of diagrams in each parts of the topic to show the visualization to support his evidence which is very informative because the visuals give lots of information about what the article is about and that to get attention of the audience.
