As Florence Kelley builds her argument the utilization of concrete imagery displays why child labor laws should change. She says, “girls between 12-14… in offices [and] manufacturing” She brings to mind the picture of a twelve year old girl in scorching hot weather sitting in the textile mills. During their time in the textile mills these kids hear, “deafening noise of spiders” these machines are piercing little girl's ear drums. To illustrate how bad this image is imanage, working next to a air horn in 100 degree weather. Their work hours extend from, “6 at night to 6 in the morning” the reason Kelley words it that way is to generate the emotion of the NAWSA. She successfully generates the emotion by her usage of concrete imagery.…
Henry didn’t mind sitting in the back of the bus. But for some reason Sheldon seemed to resent it. Grousing once in a while about how this was the Northwest and not the Deep South and the bus driver had had no business jerking his thumb toward the back of the bus when he and Henry boarded.

Many influential songs have been produced recently and ¨Stressed Out¨ performed by 21 Pilots is one of them. It was written by Tyler Joseph to describe the pressure of adulthood as you reach that progression. The song sets a nostalgic tone in the introduction and lasts throughout the song as Joseph explains what the transfer to adulthood feels like. This is one of many songs out right now that explains a clear representation of problems teenagers face on a daily basis.…
Child labor is a controversial and morally challenging topic among nations across the world. It awakens other issues of societies and brings about changes to the minds of that society. Florence Kelley is one of those minds of society that brought her own strong views on child labor and the aspects that follow. Through her speech to the National American Woman Suffrage Association, she utilizes the ideas of guilt, logos, and ethos with some rhetorical strategies of repetition, imagery, syntax, and juxtaposition to raise awareness of the wrongs of child labor along with its necessary reform.…

The two articles “A Dollar a day” written by Angus McDonald and “Workers, Not Slaves” by Jenny Price both aim at those who are either interested in the treatment of child laborers or are a part of a business who’s operations involve the use of child laboring. McDonald voices his arguments with disgust, anger and outrage contending that thousands of child laborer’s, some as young as eight are being exploited into working long hours, in some of the world’s worst conditions for as little as a dollar a day. Price, however in response to this Jenny Price states that the images and articles published about such labor is very misleading and purposely uses emotional and provocative language to persuade readers to believe it all is horrible, however in actual fact is a very well earning and lifesaving employment opportunity for these kids.…
Imagine a song that reminds you of the early Saturday mornings where you sat staring at the television screen watching one your favorite cartoons as everyone in your house is fast asleep. Now imagine that you're an adult, you're stressed out, attempting to balance your responsibilities and trying to figure out what the heck to do with your life. You sit at your work desk staring at the computer, you're longing to be a kid again, young, free-spirited, free of worries and ready to take on the world and make it a better place. Now imagine a song that brings both your childhood and present worlds together and allows you to be your inner-superhero and conquer the world-that song for me is “Wonderful Everyday: Arthur” by Chance the Rapper and The Social Experiment.…
Progressive Era reformers had a similar effect. They were able to make some changes, but most of them were limited. As W.E.B. DuBois wrote in The Crisis, America was still "a shameful land" for African-Americans. Although African-Americans "fought gladly and to the last drop of blood" in World War One, they returned home to face "lynching, disenfranchisement, caste, brutality and devilish insult". Progressive Era reformers did little more than shed light on the subject of African-American rights.…
Florence Kelley uses the rhetorical strategies of repetition, pathos, imagery, logos, and carefully placed diction to express how child labor is morally wrong. Her vivid and strong descriptions garner sympathy from her Philadelphia audience. Her use of diction expresses how the audience is to be blames equally for the cruelty and inhumane nature of child labor.

The tone that Kelley conveys a sense of optimism, and concern through her speech by using passionate language and factual information, “For the sake of the children, for the Republic in which these children will vote after we are dead, and for the sake of our cause, we should enlist the workingmen voters, with us, in this task of freeing the children from toil” (Kelley). Kelley’s tone that is expressed in this example shows how she is very optimistic about the future, if people realize these concerns about labor issues and Women’s Suffrage. The mood of Kelley’s speech shows readers how empowering she was, but it also shows how infuriated and sympathetic she was about the current situation that women and children were in at this time in history to persuade her audience. It is evident when Kelley’s words convey a sense of infuriation because of her word choice, “Tonight while we sleep, several thousand little girls will be working in textile mills, all the night through, in deafening noise where the spindles and the looms spinning and weaving cotton and wool, silks and ribbons for us to buy” (Kelley). This emphasizes Kelley’s infuriation and her feeling of sympathy towards children in the workfork force and the long hours that these children spent in factories for little amount of pay. Throughout her…
Rhetorical tools within a narrative are very important. They help set the stage so the reader can understand the story from the author’s perspective. A narrative is structured so the reader can see things clearly. The structure contains the introduction, the body, and the conclusion. The introduction has a thesis statement.

Throughout these two articles, many of the same rhetorical devices are used, such as terminology, pronouns, paper structure, etc.; however, the specific placement and use of these devices differ based on the purpose of each article.…
