    Hampton Sides’ use of rhetorical devices in the book The Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the USS Jeannette establishes the contrasting tone of the dreary location the ship is in to the optimistic, celebratory tone the men on the ship possess. Sides uses grim diction such as “trapped” and “beyond” (Sides 357) to reveal how the ship has no hope in moving in the frozen ice. He explicitly states “sixteen months” and “thirteen hundred miles” (Sides 357) to emphasize how long these men have been stuck in the ice, unable to move even a foot. The author follows with contrasting syntax by including opposites in multiple sentences: “Though coal supply had dwindled alarmingly, the ship remained snug and warm” and “A few dogs had…

For example, one of the major topics that were fascinating and would make an excellent source is showing how fast food earn a bad reputation in the 1900’s and still continues to be a predicament today. In the same, way, the food borne pathogens called E. coli 0157:H7 exists in today’s meat and also is a toxic bug that can cause severe health problems and even death. For one thing, this problem arises from how cattle are raised for mass production of fast food restaurants. It is mainly spread among the feedlots in which the cows are being slaughtered causing feces to get into the processed…

    Truman Capote’s attitude hey tries to convey in “In Cold Blood” is forgiving. In the book they KBI and the towns people mark the murderess as inhumane creatures, but later on in the story capote almost wants us to feel sorry for them because he tell us about the kind of child hood they had. I believe this aptitude he is trying to convey I captured very well in pages 252-253. In these pages Alvin Dewey is bringing Hickok and smith food because he doesn’t want them to sleep on an empty stomach. He convoy’s his attitude through imagery, detail, and tone.…

    In this sentence from John Green’s Looking for Alaska, the speaker's attitude toward the party is best described as indifferent. The speaker’s tone and diction implies that he lacks interest or concern in the unsuccessful party that was thrown for him. He mentions how “he could feel their pity”, but then goes on to say that “they needed more pity than I did”. This shows how although his parents pitied him for not having friends, he did not pity himself, but instead felt bad for his hopeful parents. The way the speaker describes his friends as “Imaginary” displays that he is an introvert who does not have any friends, and that the people his parents were expecting to show did not actually exist. His parents had high hopes and expectations…

    The analysis I made was based on Douglas McGray’s article “Lost in America”. You did a great job mentioning where the article can be found and giving a brief summary of the article at the beginning. It helps the reader understand the main points of the article. However, you started your introduction with “Douglas McGray, in Lost in America”, which is a very common attention-grabber. Unfortunately, because of its frequent usage, it becomes boring or less interesting to readers. You should try to start in a more creative way like a statement meant to surprise or amuse readers. The strategies you used to address the thesis statement was not very effective since your paper lack’s a purpose and you did not specify the audience. Also, it would be…

    Furthermore, Gloucester redeems himself for all the mistakes he has made in the past. He prepares to commit suicide, “This world I do renounce, and in your sights shake patiently my great affliction off” (4.6.37-38). Gloucester tells us he did not feel the need to kill himself, however this hateful life of his would still wear out. Furthermore, the redemption between Lear and Cordelia states, “When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down and ask of thee forgiveness” (5.3.11-12) rather than “I am a man more sinned against than sinning” (3.2.59-60). It shows that Lear believes he can be happy in prison without his love Cordelia. He suggest all the prisoners to sing, and to support each other in this hard time. Looking at each other past…

    For my call to action speech in 11th grade using Monroe's motivated sequence, I decided to draft an essay concerning the proof of global warming, its impacts, and what needs to be done in response. "A Treatise on Global Warming and It's Impacts" was perfect for capturing the audience's attention, and the scope of the situation the essay addressed allowed for a powerful motivational paper. The problem was the research. Either the sources were outdated and came from skeptical websites, or the evidence proving global cooling was disproved by the same source in a later paragraph. For example, the website SkepticalScience quotes scientist Matt Vooro and others for predicting imminent cooling due to data that suggests the leveling off of warmer temperatures yet dismisses their claims after evaluating that their field was not climate science and that an overwhelming amount of data contradicted the trend Vooro predicted in support of global warming.…

    The message of the story, CONFORM PEOPLE, CONFORM! Get used to living with nothing because that's all you're going to get. We're the wealthiest nation in the world but that wealth is only for some people, not you huddled masses, working stiffs. $30K a year breaks down to about $15 an hour and change, pathetically something like 47% of our working population in the U.S.A. earns less than that. In some parts of the country $30K would be an okay income, but in any of the major cities and that is a joke, unless like here, you have plenty of helpful perks. People giving or leaving you money when they die (which is a sad way to get it). Or you're living like a poor migrant worker, six people to a room, sharing one bathroom, living on crackers and…

    Singer’s article criticizes factory farms for industrializing their farming practices and sacrificing good animal husbandry practices for increases in production. Singer indicates the ridiculous amount of animals affected by factory farm mistreatment by stating “[t]he use and abuse of animals raised for food far exceeds, in sheer numbers of animals affected, any other kind of mistreatment” (“Down on” 19). Singer evaluates the reasoning behind factory farmer’s unethical practices, and concludes that “farming is competitive and the methods adopted are those that cut costs and increase production” (“Down on” 20). By cutting costs and increasing production rates factory farming industry workers accumulate more wealth, and consumers are able consume more meat then physically necessary. One can evaluate this luxury the “Principle of Disproportionality” which states that “[a]ctions that meet nonbasic or luxury needs of humans are prohibited when they aggress against the basic needs of animals” (Sterba…

    Day in and day out, vicious and heinous crimes are being committed on factory farmed animals due to the demands of food from this obese generation of people. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, nearly 10.2 billion land animals were brought up and killed for food in the United States throughout 2010. Plus, per person, an American meat-consumer is responsible for the suffering and death of 28 land animals per year (“Number of”). Animals have little to no rights when it comes to protection than that of humans. Therefore, humans often do whatever they want to animals for meat—knowing that they will get away with it. Of the estimated 10.2 billion land animals killed in 2010, roughly 91% were chickens raised for meat; this just goes…
