Towards a better and cleaner textile industry [Textual Analysis] Written Assignment 4 This assignment is through an analysis of appeal forms, speech acts, move structures, text functions, text types and relevant rhetorical strategies going to determine the genre and purpose of the text ‘Towards a better and cleaner textile industry’, which was posted on Novozymes website on March 30, 2011. Appeal Forms The text consists of a number of logical arguments that promote the use of enzymes in the textile industry, which means the dominating appeal form is logos. This is supported by the use of numbers (l. 1-3), scientific terms as polycarboxylates, enzymes and molecule and the reference to the special trial method; LCA (l. 18-23). This …show more content…
17-38) and at last the peroration (l. 40-45). This is supported by the common known subject i.e. that Novozymes produces enzymes and the use of both logos and ethos appeal. In addition, the move structure more specifically follows the news-report move structure as it uses the inverted pyramid, where the most important information is in the beginning. The moves are: Event (l. 1-3), then interpretation (l.4-8) followed by background (l. 10-15), details of the event (l. 17-23), background (25-42) and at last comments from people involved (l. 42-43). As the text comes from Novozymes, it would though be characterized as a press release which often bears resemblance to the news-report move structure. Though as mentioned in the paragraph about appeal forms, the use of ethos indicates that the text is not only made for an informative purpose. Text Functions At first sight, the function of the text is the informative text function, as it seeks to express something about the referent. This is supported by the dominant use of logos appeal, representative speech acts and the move structure being press release. Though, as the commissive speech act and indirect directive speech acts are also present, there is evidence that the text also has an indirect directive text function as it tries to affect the receiver to use enzymes. In combination with the use of ethos, this indicates that the text has a character of argumentation. Text Types As stated above
The rhetorical style uses persuasive ideals in the use of language. For example, in the first sentence of the second paragraph, the parallel structure and
The one technique I am not understanding is the using simple coloring to help solve sudoku puzzles. From my understanding, one does not even use colors; rather, the colors are inferred. I somewhat understand the use of pluses and minuses because they creates “chain.” For example, there’s one plus that’s in the same row as a minus, and then that minus is in the same column as a plus and so on, except I’m not understanding where the plus in square f1 (in figure 12) came from, except that it might have something to do with the minus that is in the same grid (def123) as it. I’m not understanding why all the pluses and minuses in the figure are reliant on whether or not there is a one in f1. Then the author asked us to change all the pluses and minuses into black and white square, and I’m not sure that makes any difference or makes solving the puzzle any easier. Now the author is asking us to suppose the solution of a candidate in a square, and then it states that this candidate can occur outside the chain, and now I’m not understanding why we were creating the chain if it didn’t help us determine definite candidates.
Rhetorical analysis refers to the study done by an author's use of words to influence their audience. It is closely related to diction which refers to an author's choice of words. The rhetorical analysis breaks a non-fiction work into sections then explains how the parts work together to create an effect. The effect could be achieved via persuasion, entertainment, or information. This paper will, therefore, divide the book into different sections and give an analysis of such parts to identify how the chapters are organized to help in achieving the intended effect. It will determine the elements of writing used to give the pathos, ethos, and logos. It will further identify the figures of speech used and their effectiveness. The paper will also
. What narrative structure does the author use to tell the story? John Boyne uses imagery in his book.
‘A text of timeless appeal is marked by effective construction of rhetoric to support its main ideas.’
I find the four standards in which rhetorical articles can be evaluated the most interesting rhetorical concept we have discussed this semester. I find these standards intriguing because how a rhetorical piece is perceived is dependent on which approach one takes. When using an artistic standard, content is analyzed by the aesthetic elements and overall appeal of the rhetorical article. This type of standard is about sense perception and may be viewed as poetic. The means of which the rhetor created a virtual experience and invited participation controls how a message is received by the audience. From a response standard, the focus is to achieve desired effects. For a piece to be effective from a response standard, the rhetorical article must
Knowing what an author of an article or any journal entry means is one of the most important part of understanding the authors point. There are numerous ways how this can be achieved. One of the most commonly used methods in the field of communication is through the use of rhetorical analysis. Rhetorical analysis, or what is also sometimes called as rhetorical criticism refers to a process where an individual identifies, analyzes, and then interprets the presence of symbolic artifacts in a particular text or reading, which may include words, images, phrases, ideas, and even discourses, to get the overall meaning of that text or reading. The objective of this paper is to use rhetorical analysis, and the three underlying appeals or concepts namely
John Fire Lame Deer was a Sioux Indian tribal leader, medicine man, rodeo clown, and storyteller amongst other things. A selection from his autobiography Seeker Of Visions: The Life Of A Sioux Medicine Man titled “Talking to the Owls and Butterflies” is a short piece regarding nature and man’s relationship with it. The piece was intended to make an impression on white people in order to help salvage what is remaining in the environment. Lame Deer reprimands the “white world” for its negative outlook towards nature and the treatment of animals, he converses how man has changed and reshaped nature in order to make it more profitable. Stating that Caucasians have gone and altered animals in order to create
Richard Van Camp's, The Lesser Blessed, contains elements that classify the novel with both Indigenous and Modern genres. Featuring both genres in a text can lead to contradicting themes that form a binary. This binary has the potential to limit the extent readers can connect to the story, suggesting the presence of a barrier. Barriers hinder the readers' lack of understanding or relatability to either Indigenous or Modern works of literature. This paper will serve to analyze how Richard Van Camp deconstructs the binary by having the sides work together rather than against one another. Furthermore, this paper will discuss how by breaking down the binary, Richard Van Camp is allowing his novel to be accessible to all readers.
Miltner’s text discusses the responses to the 2015 Mediterranean crisis leading to the death of roughly 1100 migrants total. The first response was increasing the budget of the Frontex sea patrols leading to increased maritime rescue and migration surveillance. The second response was the Naval anti-smuggling operation aimed to detect migration networks and seize vessels suspected of smuggling. The responses emphasize militarized criminal strategies over human rights of the migrants. The author establishes credibility by citing all her sources and the text being published by Brown University. She also quotes the sources she used in her text. The text will help me gain a deeper sense of the issue because it discusses responses that have been
The first chapter introduced the reader to the art of rhetoric. He describes how rhetoric works through real life examples. He demonstrates ways that rhetoric persuades us like, argument from strength, and seduction. He tells the reader that the sole purpose of arguing is to persuade the audience. He showed that the chief purpose of arguing is to also achieve consensus, a shared faith in a choice.
In this part of the essay, there will be discussion on how the commonly used approach of genre is utilize for which purpose of discourse. They are, typography, oral, and iconography approach. All of these approaches of genre usage will be discussed in detail in this section of the essay.

The client shows a new topography to get the attention of others, continues to
There is a theme in the story of a woman's work not having an equality to a mans at the time. The woman's work being a mere trifle, a symbolism of unimportance in the story. I think the closing demonstrates the intelligence and depth of the story. Â The men do not consider what the woman find of any importance though they uncover the motive and hide it in secrecy because they can understand and relate to the
Electronic texts as paraphrased by Vacca (2008, p.426) states; electronic text must be presented by the reader visually, have conventional associations with books to make the reader feel they are reading a book, have an organized theme like a book or of a printed book, and must be primarily text centered. Trade books' meaning interpreted by Vacca (2008, p.383) is books filled with narrative and content that has the potential to magnifying or enhance the reader's personal interactions with a subject; while these these books can customarily hold an overall lesson, they are intentionally made for all in which they are published and sold for the general public.Each texts contributes to content area learning by bring something the other does not have and through the combined effort brings the most of learning.
