Chapter 4, we learned the various aspects of an audience, when preparing a written or electrical document. How did I consider my audience needs and interests as I developed the presentation about Great Calls marketing strategy? I put myself in their shoes and considered the expectations that a manager of a large cellular company would expect. I recognized their time is valuable and I would need to be quick and direct. I also thought that I would have to put together a presentation that was professional and eye catching and brought valuable information to helping them direct the company to a new solution to increase customer attention. Who was my audience? The people I am presenting to are five managers of Genuine Cellular, who I assume are…

America has been at war with many foreign countries, for example Iraq and Afghanistan.

Goodman, need to have American reporters in those foreign countries since we are affiliated with them. In order to persuade his audience that news organizations should increase the amount of foreign news coverage provided to people in the United States, Goodman uses appeal to logos, problem and solution, and comparison.…
I don’t really want to write an essay this is more like an accumulation. However, if I were to have a thesis it would be something like: In chapter seven of The Awakening, Kate Chopin uses several subtextual techniques such as parallels, callbacks, and symbolism, to covertly convey an aspect of Edna’s sexuality that is, as the writer understands it, homosexual. By using these literary techniques in tandem with the strongly written friendship between Edna and Adele, Edna’s homosexuality can be unearthed from the subtext. (or something like that)…
In Metamorphosis Franz Kafka examines the alienation from society that turns a human being into a bug. Gregor Sampsa is clearly unhappy with his life and alienated by the expectations placed upon him by his family and society. For example the text says “If I didn’t have my parents to think about I’d have given in my notice a long time ago, I’d have gone up to my boss and told him just what I think, tell him everything, I would have let him know just what I feel,” Gregor says. But of course, he can’t tell his boss how he feels. How he feels is besides the point. “He was a tool of the boss, without brains or backbone.” Gregor is in no position of power he is just another worker for his harsh boss. Gregor’s alienation is symbolically represented…

Themes in the novel “The Bean Trees” by Barbara Kingsolver include the importance of family and the need for community as emotional support systems for individuals facing hardships. As the individuals face their hardships, Kingsolver binds them together with support, forming a community that at times functions like a big extended family, however non-traditional it may be. Kingsolver not only illustrates the importance of family as an emotional support system in today's society, but the changing face of the family unit itself, one that is defined more by love than by structure.…
Hello Thinh! After reading your rhetorical essay, I agree what you said "media embrace the gender inequality and the idealism of a female body." People always see that the photos woman always appeared in movies, TV, magazines, who are in good shape, attractive and charming. It lowers the value of the women because people just appreciate their body and not appreciate their intellectuals. According to what you said "showing researched evidence (ethos), personal interview (pathos) and statistic (logos)", I can understand the purpose of the director that the film is more credibility and persuaded to the audience by using logos, pathos, and ethos. Overall, your essay is well organized, and it provides different sources as well as analyze what you…
In this passage from 1984 by George Orwell, Winston is admiring the prole woman below hanging diapers because she loves her family and will even ignore the care of her own body to be helpful towards her family. He is showing that he admires the caring and maternal aspects of this woman and how simple her life is. This passage allows the reader to understand his respect towards the prole life and his desire for a caring figure and simplicity in his own life. Orwell uses a couple different tones here such as a nostalgic one as well as a happy one to prove to you that it is an important quality in Winston’s eyes. He also contrasts the behavior of the woman to that of Julia, who is not respectful of the woman because she does not admire the…

“The Carnivore’s Dilemma”, an essay by Nicolette Hanh Niman, incorporates rhetorical elements, such as logos, ethos, and rhetorical questions, in an attempt to convince the audience that meat itself is not the root of global warming. Written from a rancher’s point of view, the essay relies on studies and logic to prove itself. Niman starts out with a short acknowledgement that the meat industry has a hand in the increasingly noticeable global climate change. She then quickly changes gears, stating that the studies that show the meat industry is a major player in global warming only take the prevailing methods of producing meat into account and spews facts that show the flip side of the food industry.…
