The Achievement Habit Rhetorical Analysis

In May of 1998, Kipland Kinkel brought a gun to his school. Over the course of two days this escalated from: being sent home, to murdering his father and mother, to murdering 2 students and wounding 26, earning a lifetime sentence of 111 years and 8 months in prison. In the court case being examined, the presiding judge addresses the original case, defendants ground for appeal, and the justification for the State’s decision to deny the appeal. Judge Haselton effectively uses ethos, logos, and pathos to support the Higher Court’s decision to deny the appeal because the original sentence was constitutional and just.

There are many different types of genres in the writing world. For this assignment, I will construct an analysis to evaluate the different rhetorical moves used by Mr. Benjamin Anastas. In his essay, “The Foul Reign of ‘Self-Reliance,’” from the New York Times magazine, the audience varies from a widespread, broad prospective of viewers, from past and future generations. The New York Times Magazines is issued approximately to about 100,000 people majority being college graduates. His purpose for the essay is to argue against Emerson and express his thoughts in writing by informing and persuading people that they should start being less selfish and more

Motivation is a main point in which I am interested and in order to understand more about the topic I have based my review in 2 different sources: Forbes article “Motivation Mystery: How to Keep Employees Productive” and Daniel Pink Ted Talk “The Puzzle of Motivation”.

The primary election for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is to be held Thursday, September 3, 2015. This momentous occasion happens every four years. The elected chief and officials, such as council members, can run for office for as long as they see fit, for there is no term limit. Our past chief, Michell Hicks, was in office three consecutive terms for a total of twelve years. This year Hicks has decided to step down and the new candidates for chief are Patrick Lambert and Gene “Tunney” Crowe. These new candidates must be able to fill the role of a generous and successful leader to those of the Cherokee nation. The platforms of both Lambert and Crowe are used to persuade the public to vote in their favor and are extremely versed in the

In a paragraph in Self-Reliance, Emerson conveys his point that consistency is bad and does this using a linear argument. ‘cept I'm going to focus on the consistency aspect of it. More specifically, Intra-party conflicts when a person within a given party has inconsistent views to their respective party's platform. And though there are many things Emerson and I do not see eye to eye on, his statement that a foolish consistency “is the hobgoblin of little minds” I actually agree with.

“How does it feel when you are on a team of any kind, and your teammates are encouraging you and cheering you on?” When i’m on a team i feel shy if i don’t know anybody on there but if i am familiar with the people i am good.”Are your teammates encouraging you and cheering you on? My teammates don’t encourage me our cheer me on because they will hog the ball and pass it to there friends.Only people i know will encourage me.”Does it make you want to try harder? Why?” Yes hearing my friends cheer for me wants me to try my best and succeed because i don’t want to let them down.”What does encouragement look like in P.E?” To me when were participating by playing a game i think that encouragement looks like cheering on your friend to give them a

In the TED talk entitled "How Augmented Reality Will Change Sports And Build Empathy," speaker Chris Kluwe discusses the immense possibilities of new technology. He explains how augmented reality will significantly impact the NFL (National Football League) because it will allow people to understand what it is like to be a football player. He states, “With Google Glass, we can put that underneath a helmet, and we can get a sense of what it's like to be running down the field at 100 miles an hour, your blood pounding in your ears.” (Kluwe 0:52). Here, Kluwe is describing how people would truly be able to experience a football game with augmented reality. They would be able to understand the feeling of adrenaline that players feel out on the

What central idea does Emerson establish through the analogies in the first two paragraphs? What images does he contrast to convey this idea?

When comprising an argument, the use of rhetorical strategies is essential to planning out how one presents both the chosen argument and the evidence for their position. To understand these strategies and how they are used allows for a deeper understanding of the argument and invokes critical thinking. For instance, in Journalist Joanmarie Kalter’s piece “Exposing Media Myths: TV doesn’t affect you as much as you think”. The author attempts to convince the reader that the notion, that TV is the number one source of information used today and therefore holds immense sway over the general public, is false. And because of how the rhetorical strategies are used in the article. She manages to get the reader to second guess the notion that TV holds

I was very astonished, when I went to the office hour the first time and asked my professor to give me some advice about my essay. At that time, I had no idea how to specify my topic and analyze my thesis, but my professor gave me lots of specific and arguable ideas that I had never thought of. Then, I started to realize that the ability I am supposed to learn from Writing 39B class is the way to do rhetorical analysis. During these ten weeks classes of Writing 39B, I make improvements on skills of doing rhetorical analysis as well as conveying my message to the reader effectively. To be more specific, I have learned how to analyze an essay from the

For my third writing project, I have decided to create a research proposal, directed at the USC Rossier School of Education in order to get them to accept my dissertation examining the gentrifying effects of neighborhood preference in charter school lottery systems. This proposal is effective because it employs rhetorical strategies appropriate for the target audience – in this case, a committee of professors that are knowledgeable about the subject of the proposed dissertation. These rhetorical strategies include the structure of the document, stylistic choices such as academic diction and tone, and the choices regarding the content of the proposal.

Death as a natural occurring life event is perceived differently by the oral practices of the Aboriginal people natives to Australia, where in the construction of the memory of a dead person is done by completely erasing the name of the deceased from future verbal use. With the aid of storytelling, this speech act serves as a way to remember the person, and their life by intentionally forgetting them verbally out of perceived respect. This paper will attempt to explicate the specific rhetorical tool of avoidance utilized to shape the memory of a deceased member of the Australian Aboriginal people by looking at the framing of memory in this culture, the act of purposefully forgetting, and the oral mechanisms used as avoidance practices amongst

English classes are very important if you want to pursuit your academic goal, and there are a lot of things that I learned about academic writing in this semester. At first, I thought that it was going to be easy as long as I kept doing my brief assignments on time and showing up in classes. However, I was wrong, English is hard, especially if you are an international student because the methods of writing an essay are different. Though, I decided to take English 1301 because I wanted to be able to write something that would make it easier for a reader to understand, and of course to make me get good grades in other classes assignments. Also, because I didn’t know the difference between writing a rhetorical analysis essay and writing a normal

Until I started this rhetorical analysis paper I wasn’t aware that the things I display in my room say things about me. I never thought about how they make me look as a person or what my audience would assume about me based on these items. When I started analyzing, all these questions started popping up. I was finally able to step back and see myself how others might see me. When asked by my teacher to pick 3 items that describe myself from my bedroom I didn’t have any trouble picking them out. When it came down to it, I 'd always choose the same 3 items: A wall of family pictures, a Pride flag and a mirror with notes and pictures all over it.

The speech I am analyzing was given by Jon Bowers, a UPS driving and delivery trainer, in Atlanta Georgia in July 2017. Bowers was giving a motivational speech on why we should aim for perfection and not fear failure. He was giving this speech to an audience of listeners at a TED convention. The audience appears to be composed of a wide variety of age groups from multiple different backgrounds. The audience likely already had interest in the subject matter as they chose to attend speech knowing what it was about. The audience is rather large and likely contains several hundred people. The target audience is unclear as the topic is so broad that it can apply to basically anyone.
