On Women's Right To Vote Analysis
What is one major event that is constantly controlling the minds of everyone in today's society? Even back then prejudice was a huge deal. It included discrimination just because of skin color and a person's sex! Susan B. Anthony's "On Women's Right to Vote" and Chief Joseph's "On Surrender at Bear Paw Mountain, 1877" emphasizes their experience with this topic. Alongside the swirl of emotions from this form of hate, the two authors can relate on many similarities and retaliate on the individual differences. Besides the common prejudice, one eventually got what they had wanted. Anthony mainly focuses on logic, which is known as "logos". Chief Joseph, on the other hand, seems to have an alliance with Pathos when it comes to his. The two authors …show more content…
Anthony and Chief Joseph differ majorly when it comes to whether they succeeded or not. Today, every woman has the right to vote, of course. This empowered lady from the late 1800's got what she wanted! Sure, it might have taken years to finally be considered equal to others, but she still got it. What she considered "Mission Impossible" was possible, and it was a success. Unlike Anthony, Chief Joseph had to surrender and failed his mission in life. He wanted the land all to himself and his people and that got dragged away from him. He lost all he had. Straying away from whether they absorbed the triumph they both had wished for, pathos is more frequently used in "On Surrender at Bear Paw Mountain, 1877". But unlike that story, logos is the main aspect of "On Women's Right to Vote". "On Surrender at Bear Paw Mountain, 1877" is embedded with heart-felt emotion throughout the entire documented artifact. He repeatedly mentions how he is "tired of fighting." and his "...men are all dead." Woven into "On Women's Right to Vote", is straight up information and logic about what she has to say. Anthony quotes a few dictionaries and even the Federal Constitution. Logos is frequently used more in this revolutionary

    A Rhetorical Analysis: The Under-Representation Of Women In Congress

    Hi Vy, I like how you started your rhetorical analysis! Through your introduction I can get an understanding of how manipulative the media is, how it degrades women, and why the way women are portrayed is a big issue in America. I think it is effective that you mentioned how it is a big issue because it makes readers want to continue reading. I like that you said, “Moreover, in the film, “Only 34 women have ever served as governors. Yet comprise only 17% of Congress, women have not made gain in Congress since 1979.” This demonstrates that Newsom uses logical appeals to persuade her audience that there is an under-representation of women not only in popular culture (films and music), but also in congress. 17% out of 100% is a small number which…

    Thaddeus Stevens Right To Vote Analysis

    C. Former Confederates and African American defenders had opposing views on new black legislators. Former Confederates, such as English clergyman J.W. Leigh, felt as though blacks were prematurely given the right to vote. Leigh argued that because blacks received franchise only five years after the abolition of slavery, they were incapable and easily influenced by radical republicans. To back his claim, Leigh cited the passing of a large grant for the Alabama and Chattanooga Railway. He states that the grant’s purpose was to give money to corrupt carpetbaggers, and that the blacks helped passed the bill after being bribed. Leigh also insinuates that having blacks in office meant that they dominated the votes and silenced whites, doing…

    Voting In Canada Research Paper

    I will choose the event of women winning the right to vote in 1919. I think this event had the biggest impression on me because before this event happened, women were excluded from voting for the government. That meant that almost half of the population was excluded from voting. I think that was simply unacceptable that almost half of the population was excluded from voting just because they were a different gender. It also heavily skewed the votes in favor of men.…

    Women In Congress Research Paper

    In forming a government for the people, by the people, and of the people, our Founding Fathers developed the idea a bi-cameral legislature. This Congress, composed of the House of Representatives and Senate, thus became known as the people's branch of government. American children are taught in schools that anyone can be elected to Congress, so long as they meet the qualifications of the Constitution. So long as you meet the age and residency requirements you are indeed qualified to be a candidate for Congress.…

    Voting Rights Act Research Paper

    To explain why congress passed the Voting Rights act, we must look into the “darker time” that Lyndon B Johnson talked about. The “darker times” are every year post the Voting Rights Acts, and consist of oppression and racism at every turn. Let us start at the very broad view of what was going on in america, segregation was at every city, park, alley, and school. Narrowing this down some, there were even Jim Crow laws in the south, that made it legal to treat African americans differently. Even at the poles, we had an abundance of racism, with grandfather clauses, Literacy tests, and poll taxes. Before the Voting Rights Act African americans were treated as secondary citizens. Congress wanted to change how we thought, so we didn’t keep thinking…

    Voter Suffrage In America

    Voter suppression during our years of life has been insane. We have been making ways of people to not be able to vote. We have been placing laws and rules so that people of different ethnics would not be able to vote. We have had Jim Crow Laws, photo and voter ID, and some other ways we have limited voters. Back in the day during the time of the nation being founded, white property owners could only vote. Over time the right to vote was granted to women and youth. During the 20th century Jim crow laws was placed on African Americans to limit their rights and limit their voting rights. The Jim Crow laws had the grandfather clause, poll taxes, and literacy tests to help limit them. These tactics were made illegal due to the Voting Rights Act…

    Women S Right To Vote

    Elizabeth Stanton and Susan Anthony were two of the women that fought for our rights as women. Had it not been for Elizabeth Stanton and the other ladies holding the Women’s Right Convention in Seneca Falls, New York on July 19-20, of 1848 I’m not really sure if we would even have rights today, we might but I don’t believe our mothers or grandmothers would have. That day on July 19, only women were allowed to be there, the next day the 20th, both men and women were allowed. Elizabeth Stanton, thought fearful of this privately, stood to the crowd and stated that men had deprived them of their rights, equal education and profession, divorce and custody of their children. That day, 68 women and 32 men signed on the paper. She then asked for the right to vote, which everyone in the building got quite because they couldn’t believe she would ask such a thing. She stated “The right to vote is ours. Have it we must. Use it we will”.…

    Women as Second Class Citizens

    Women have been regarded as second class citizens throughout history. It is common knowledge that almost every language and culture tends to be male-dominated. Some think that the feelings of superiority by men can be traced back to the biblical times of Adam and Eve as Adam was created in God's image and Eve came from Adam. Women did not gain equal rights until the early 1970s in the United States. They were finally allowed to possess a credit card without their husband's names on it. Before this, they earned the right to vote, serve on juries and to have the same minimum wage as men. However, just because equal rights are given, equal treatment is not a guarantee. This discrimination and dominance of women is displayed in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. During the time that the play takes place, 1928 - 1945, women were still in a battle for equal treatment and equal rights. Miller shows the sexism in society at this time by not including any strong female figures in the play.…

    Women Rights in Present Day Scenario..a Preface

    I have great satisfaction in introducing this nationwide evaluation study of the functioning of the National Child Labour Projects (NCLPs) to the policy makers, academicians, government functionaries, NGOs, international agencies and all those who are engaged in the task of prevention and elimination of child labour. This evaluation study was initiated by the V.V.Giri National Labour Institute at the instance of and with the financial support from the Ministry of Labour, Government of India. Prior to the launch of the evaluation, a brain storming session was organised to discuss the sample universe, sample size and the methodology to be adopted for the study. This was attended by most of the collaborating agencies as well as by the Labour Ministry officials. The format of the questionnaire was also discussed, broadly agreed and adopted. In many ways, it is one of those rare efforts which is marked by a complete understanding and harmony of purpose and objectives among all collaborating agencies.…

    There are many opportunities for women in the developed countries, but women do not get such opportunities in many underdeveloped and developing countries. There are almost equal economic, political, social opportunities for women in the United States while these opportunities are not available to the women of underdeveloped countries. Due to the socio-cultural exploitation of women, they are deprived of such opportunities in the region of underdeveloped countries. In order to get equal opportunities in the developed countries like the United States and Europe women had fought a long and continuous struggle.…
