It was humorous, creative, and got the point across to the audience. Compared to the other commercials of this year’s Super Bowl those were the qualities that stuck out more so. The commercial effective with the way it played out and was well set up.…

    “Give me liberty or give me death.” (henry). This is a famous quote from the talented American revolunist Patrick Henry. It was said that henry could position his audience to anger, fear or laughter more sudden then professional actors. He showed this talent in his Speech at the Virginia Conventiomn. The most popular poets and writers uses multiple techniques and strategies to grasp their audience attention. The rhetorical devices include pathos, that appeals to emotion, ethos, which means authority, logos introduces logic. Many revolunist uses the rhetorical triangle, which is “the art of enchanting the soul” (plato). Arthur Miller uses these styles as well in his play The Crucible. I strongly believe that henry used ethos, pathos and rhetorical questioning to connect with the audience in The Crucible.…

    Once a loss occurs within a family there is always a number of ways the family can get through their pain. A family can choose what role a loss is going to play in their lives. Either they can let the pain subside slowly or quickly get over it and move on, but I do not personally think one can truly accept losing a family member without some sort of grieving process involved. One family may choose denial, and resistance to let a loved one go, while another family may grief together to console one another. Once a family goes through a lose it becomes apparent that it can happen to anyone.…

    As someone not overly tolerant of military conflict, in light of the divisive war in Iraq and considering the unpopular nature of the Vietnam War in U.S. society; I decided to choose Tim O'Brien's account of combat in Vietnam in "The Things They Carried." I found outside commentary on this story by searching for reviews and analyses of the work on EBSCO Host, the university research database. I also surveyed the commentaries in The Story and Its Writer to add substance to my own analysis of the story. The most useful sources were the more scholarly ones that came from EBSCO host in journals like Critique and the Explicator.…
