    Mark Gungor’s speech is presented as a dual issue. That is to say, the speaker explains, in such an interesting way, how a difference between men and women’s brain can be made. The register used to express the ideas is really intelligible; therefore it is easy to follow. In addition, public attention is perfectly caught due to the fact that a brain sculpture is used to figure out distinct parts of the brain to establish the characteristics that makes non–identical the thoughts, expressiveness, and so on, depending on the sex. Even if this talk is presented in a neurological way, it is enjoyable even for non-specialized…

    On August 8, 2013, a field of rice, called “Golden Rice”, was completely devastated by a group of angry Filipino protestors. However, this was no ordinary rice. It was genetically modified rice that was designed to alleviate some major problems in the world. One farmer passionately said, “we do not want our people, especially our children, to be used in these experiments.” However, there were several people outraged by this act of vandalism. One of those people, Amy Harmon, decided to bury the notion that Golden Rice is detrimental to human health. She attempted this difficult task in her article, “Golden Rice: Lifesaver?” I will be analyzing how she conveys her message to the readers of the article in this rhetorical analysis essay. I argue…

    Jonathan Swift establishes credibility through rewording few of his acquaintances: “…a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London… a grave author, an eminent French physician… a very worthy person, a true lover of his country, and whose virtues I highly esteem… the famous Psalmanazar, a native of the island Formosa.” However, because the information he gathers are from people that others would not know of, his credibility is questionable. Nevertheless, he also gives very detailed and specific facts that help support his argument. Basically, Swift appeals to his audience through rhetorical literary techniques—logos, ethos, and pathos. The entire proposal is a measurement of Swift’s ethos and logos. The way he presents…

    Vine Deloria has a very poor opinion of American anthropologists who come to the reservations. His tone in the writing is far beyond annoyance or anger and is somewhat sarcastic. He also used harsh vocabularies and connotations such as saying the Indians are a “chessman” or a “game” for the anthropologists to play with. I was unsure if he is purposely doing it just to get the public's attention. He stated that American anthropologists only came to the reservations, not to learn about the Indians and their culture. They, however, solely come to look for proofs that support what they thought the Indian lives should be like which is why the anthropologists, as mentioned in the article, never have to rely on any instrument to record their observations. Deloria also believed that American anthropologists are responsible for many problems that occur to the Indians because the government and the outsiders only get a chance learn about the Indians through the anthropologists' writing. They are representing “the ultimate truth” to others. He stated that not only…

    All can relate to that one special time of the year, Christmas, when whole families unite and spend hours endlessly sharing stories, making memories, and of course, opening presents! What happens though, when all of the sentimental value of Christmas is replaced solely with physical value, the gifts? What would Christmas be like then? Richard Rodriguez takes the readers through one of his annual Christmases and brings to light, through his thoughts, the disconnect that exists between himself, his siblings, and his parents. Rodriguez’ chronological presentation of events with flashbacks, short, abrupt syntax, light-hearted attention to detail and concerned tone contribute to suggest his worried attitude toward his family.…
