Bias Rhetorical Analysis
Assignment: Bias, Rhetorical Devices, and Argumentation

The examples of bias are: The working man and the slum child are a gender bias. Kane is only pointing out that men are the only ones working and that all the children are slum. Kane makes a statement about “the decent, ordinary citizens know that I’ll do everything in my power to protect the underprivileged, the underpaid, and the underfed.” I feel this could be a begging the question fallacy; it is as if he is saying that the underprivileged, the underpaid, and the underfed are not the decent, ordinary citizen he is talking about. Kane goes and does an ad hominen fallacy when he starts attacking Boss Jim W. Gettys by calling him dishonest and a downright villainy. I think the campaigner

    Nike, Inc. is known traditionally to be a brand suited for competitive athletes, with its origins rooted in selling athletic shoes, but over the course of recent years, the merchandise has expanded to include clothing and other gear to athletes and non-athletes alike. Nike has adapted its advertising campaigns to reach its eclectic audience by sponsoring globally renowned athletes such as Lance Armstrong. Though cyclists are in the minority of the athletic world and it’s fans, the campaigns involving Armstrong have been particularly persuasive because the overall message of the advert is focused on Armstrong’s battle and victory over stage three testicular cancer. The 2009 print appeared in Time magazine, proving to be emotionally powerful and broadly inclusive of its audience by elevating Armstrong to a status comparable to a hero.…

    The campaigner in this speech shows an example of bias by saying the acts of Jim Gettys are "evil domination". He also shows more bias by calling Kane the "fighting liberal" and also referring to Kane as "the friend of the working man". The opinion here is definitely in favor of Kane and against Gettys.…

    While using literary elements such as imagery, personal anecdotes, and a diverse choice of words, Bernard Cooper, the writer of ”A Clack of Tiny Sparks”, asserts that people should not be ashamed of who they really are. Cooper clearly develops this assertion by not only involving his personal experiences into this private essay, but by also including them in a way that is both touching, and intimate. By summarizing his childhood experiences, Cooper is able to clarify that being a teenager and being attracted to the same sex is not an easy obstacle to overcome. Cooper is able to draw the reader in with personal and private life experiences from his early teenage years.…

    This encourages people to vote for him as demonstrated in the scene where the campaign team and Bill McKay are reviewing the videos recorded with the public to present a TV commercial. Bill asks why those scenes were not added to the video recordings that they made in the health center, to which his campaign team then explains him the reason of why they did not do that. They go on to show him video and he realizes how bad it is trying to present their proposals and ideas to people who were there. The two women and their small children responded very arrogantly, while their children cried, about how will McKay be able to remedy all their problems since they are clearly in poverty and illness along with their young children. This clearly implied that they are the most marginalized sectors of the population, even Bill McKay stops talking with them at the moment and he sees how the women ignorde him. At this point they stopped the videotaped, Bill McKay realized it would not be good to put this clip in the video recording to be released on television, because that could deteriorate his image and would be exposed by a single person questioning his proposals, because a good public image is the essence for a good…

    The purpose of Queen Elizabeth’s speech at the Tilbury was to persuade her troops to believe in her and to be loyal to her. At the beginning of the speech, she addresses her troops as “my loving people”, already showing her credibility as a loving ruler. She then goes on stating that she would never dishonor her troops and that she has always done the best she could for them. In the middle of her speech she states she would “live or die, lay down for my God and for my kingdom and my people”. By using parallelism and the appeal of pathos to make her troops feel love, she shows how loyal she is and she would do absolutely anything and everything for them. Queen Elizabeth also states how mentally strong and capable she is of ruling her kingdom and people by comparing her weakness as a woman to her “heart of a king”. Towards the end of her speech, she talks about how her kingdom is so brave and vigorous, that she dares anyone to invade her “realm”, and for anyone who is idiotic enough to try she herself “will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder”. She again uses the appeal of pathos by calling her troops “noble” and “worthy”, buy saying this she makes them feel important valued. She then assures her troops that they will soon have a victory over their enemies if they obey the general, concord in the camp, and have courage in the field. She ends her speech by saying “we shall have victory if we honor my God, of my kingdom, and of my people”…

    Well-known Sci-fi writer, Ray Bradbury, in his novel, Fahrenheit 451, illustrates that relationships reflect who individuals are and who they want to be. Bradbury’s purpose is to promote the idea that a person should have the courage to listen to their own beliefs and thoughts of happiness rather than to blend in with society. He adopts a disoriented and poetic tone in order to appeal to similar feelings and experiences on a non-realistic scale in his young adult readers.…

In this essay Gross mainly discussed about the meaning of the word “Bitch” changed across time. She analyzed the word in different perceptive, its offensive meaning, its contemptuous meaning and its literal meaning.
