Syrian Supper Club Rhetorical Analysis
Hi Brooke! This is a great response to all three articles and their use of ethos, pathos, and logos. Especially in your third paragraph about reading of the Syria Supper Club. The example with the real life stories from the refugees is a great use of logos. The use of real life examples is a great way to convince the audience. Also, I agree with your statement that the article “convinces the audience that it is important to help others no matter what their religion is.” Overall your responses really displayed the use of ethos, pathos, and logos in the readings.

    Excerpt: “The towers stood like huge sails at the foot of Manhattan Island, with each face built to absorb a hurricane of 140 miles per hour. The wind load on an ordinary day was thirty times greater than the force of the airplane that would hit it on September 11. The mass of the tower was 1,000 times greater than the jet’s. Given the sheer bulk of the towers, it was not surprising that the building continued to stand after the plane hit.” p. 40, End of first paragraph…

    In the 1957’s movie 12 Angry Men, it is about twelve jurors who have to come to a verdict whether or not the young boy is guilty for murdering his father. All but one juror said guilty. In the movie we see that jurors are using the arguments made by the witnesses and evidence found which were presented in court to help justify their decision and come to a conclusion on whether he is or isn’t guilty for killing his father. During this deliberation we can see emotion, reason and sense of perception being used by each juror to decide upon their verdict. Some questions that were raised during the movie were, do we make decisions based on our emotion? To what extent does the juror show to be rational or irrational? And In what ways are the eyewitness…

    This passage provides a very powerful moment in which the narrator is informed of the extent of Tyler's power and control. During this scene, Tyler stresses the importance of "honor" while he threatens to castrate the police commissioner. Although the idea of this passage is very aggressive, the tone of the passage is calm and respectful, as Tyler uses diction such as "esteemed honor" and "your honor". While using blackmail as a method of insurance, he reminds the commissioner that honor is more important than the individual. This value reappears throughout Fight Club as well. We see space monkeys sacrificing themselves for homework assignments and chaotic operations; they are taught to put Fight Club and Project Mayhem before themselves. The passage also…

    In Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream (1963)” speech, he addresses the idea that in order to fulfill the premise that “all men were created equal,” the people of the nation must work together to move past the injustices inflicted on African Americans in order to ultimately grant them their civil rights. King’s claim is supported by first repeatedly alluding to historically renowned milestones in the fight against oppression and illustrating numerous metaphors to create an emotional connection with his audience. King’s “dream” that he frequently mentions is the nationwide unification to work toward a common goal in order to bring integration of all races and coexist without oppression. By establishing his goal, he creates an earnest tone for the people of America working toward cutting the “manacles of segregation and chains of discrimination.”…

    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…

    In Johann Hari’s article “You are being lied to about pirates” (published Monday January 5, 2009 by the Independent) he uncovers for his audience/readers the truth behind piracy and how it is reflected in the ways that the government “tries” to inform the public. The article shows that his audience is the people he recognizes to be the real villains in destroying the pirate “organization” as well as the uneducated readers on the topic that are looking to grasp a new understanding of pirates and where it all started. Johann Hari is trying to prove to us that there is definitely more than one side to these Somali pirates, but people just have to be willing to listen to see the truth behind their story.…

    After reading “As a Weapon in The Hands of The Restless Poor” one can feel motivated to help those in need. Earl Shorris appeals to emotion when he talks about creating a program to start to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate. He starts out the story to say he is writing a book which makes him an author which is an example of ethos because he seems reliable. Shorris then states that the poor have been “Cheated” which is substantially true because the rich were given the opportunity to succeed more as someone who is poor and cannot even afford to feed themselves. In order to help the less fortunate out he has to create a program to help the poor succeed. After a Rhetorical analysis of “As a Weapon in The Hands of The Restless Poor” by Earl Shorris one can conclude that most people take for granted even the little things in life, if one were to open their eyes and see there are many people who do not have a dollar to their name, and we have so much that we tend to lose focus on helping the less fortunate succeed in the world we live in today.…

    Do you struggle to find equilibrium between excelling at work and spending productive, quality time with loved ones at home? With the technology that is available in the twenty first century, it is now possible for educated professionals to decide whether they would like to work from home and collaborate with family members to meet work demands. Alesia Montgomery is an African American Ethnographer who wrote “Kitchen Conferences and Garage Cubicles: The Merger of Home and Work in the 24-7 Global Economy”. This study was one of many published in 2008’s book entitled The Changing Landscape of Work and Family in the American Middle Class: Reports From the Field, which focused on “providing insights into the changing nature of working families in the United States” (1008). Montgomery’s main argument is that today’s modern society and global economy have enabled families to “merge work and home in quasi-entrepreneurial ways” (1018), which will in turn deepen the attachment between family members. Her secondary claim is that the merging of these two worlds does not come without a downside; your home will no longer “serve as a refuge from job pressures” (1018) and job demands may be “made more invasive by the use of innovative communication technology” (1019). The main purpose of this essay is to identify and analyze Montgomery’s main and secondary arguments, to describe two types of support she uses, how they help her claims, and to identify her intended audience.…

    Pathos is used to involve the reader emotionally, but not to overtax their emotions, is done well. Logos, is used well in respect to the organization of information but could have been made stronger by adding statistics to some of the points made. Ethos gained authority when the information being presented built upon itself, expressing a broader understanding of the argument. Though, the authority and credibility was hurt by the biased tone to the article. The argument in the article could have been presented with a more rounded approach had logos and ethos been used more completely, but, it has potential. When logos and ethos were used efficiently the argument was sound and overall the information given was good, all that is needing is some supporting statistics and less…
