RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF ESSAY ON “Students and Money: In Their Own Words”

The first Rhetorical device I see in the Essay on "Students and Money: In Their Own Words." By Karpeck, Griffin is the device “PATHOS” which is an appeal to emotion, and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response.
I consider the author is very much successful in this regard. In the first few lines itself he appeals to the emotion by saying that his friends smirk at him by looking at his need to do that menial job and he too has taken up the job reluctantly (i.e. he is forced ...

In both Julia Ward Howe’s “Battle-Hymn of the Republic” and Wilfred Owen’s “Dulce et Decorum Est,” each poet arms themselves with certain devices to create emotional tones that drive how they feel about war. For Howe, war seems to be glorious and good. For Owen, it is clearly undignified and evil. The emotional tone set by Howe’s “Battle-Hymn of the Republic” is safe and content, whereas the emotional tone of Owen’s “Dolce et Decorum Est” is chaotic and unsettling. Both poets use alliteration, meter, and rhyme in nearly opposite ways to strike at the heart ...

Communication: Oral Language is a Bag of Air (How the Environment is responsible for Speech and Oral Language.)

Oral language is like air is a concept that has been used in linguistics to express the importance of environment in shaping the development of language in society. Man has for instance made inroads to other planets other than the earth. However, under these circumstances man has depended on sign language to communicate because the condition in space do not allow for the creation of sound waves. This is contrary to how the situation is here on earth. The environment of earth allows for the travelling of sound. The thought patterns of human being and the communication process is shaped ...

The communication or interaction is always a two way process. The listeners and speaker and then again the listener/s and speakers, this is the process of conversation. In our communication process, we use 55% non-verbal communication, 38% of tone of voice and the contribution of actual verbal communication is just 7%. Hence the tone of voice, pitch, stress pattern are the important attribute to make the conversation effective and fruitful. The non-verbal communication is no doubt important but the intonation and stress pattern in conversation is also required to study. The intonation is very important in communication. There are ...

Picasso Weeping Woman As an Image of Suffering

Pablo Picasso’s remarkable oil on canvas painting Weeping Woman (1937) is both a personally and politically significant painting. It is among the series of weeping women paintings that were painted by Picasso in 1937. Picasso addressed the theme of depicting a woman holding a handkerchief to her teary face in numerous other works of art in different mediums (Léal 396), such as drawings, etchings and paintings, all of which were produced with the intention of standing as voiceless but visual witnesses to an inexpressible modern tragedy.

Anytime a story is told by different people, there are understandable number of variations. This is especially true for Greek and Roman myths, which were written during vastly different centuries with opposite views of religion. The Greeks seemed to view their early gods as perfect yet still human with their interactions with mortals. The actions of the divine motivated and drove the course of the stories. The Romans, by contrast, put their gods on a pedestal and shifted the blame to the mortals. The writings of Hesiod and Ovid reflect these differences, depicting the actions in a perfect light ...

John Frederick Nims’ “Love Poem” and William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 130” are two different poems that are separated by four centuries, but the poets have successfully presented the “ideal” poems to represent the “ideal woman” in a grounded world with all her flaws. The poems reflect that love on the surface is superficial when compared to the inner beauty of a loved one. Honesty and integrity are more effective when dealing with true love.

William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 130”, was probably written to ridicule the traditional love poem that showed women as divine angelic creatures with no flaws. Shakespeare recognizes ...

In Ladies and Gentlemen, to the Gas Chamber, Borowski adopts a variety of tones for different parts of the story. The everyday activities are often described in a casual manner, whereas the scenes of the end of day transports are much more serious and dark.

When depicting scenes of everyday life in camp, there is often a casual, almost ironic, tone. For example:

"Several of us are sitting right now on a top bunk swinging our legs in a carefree manner. We take out white, extravagantly baked bread: crumbly, falling to pieces, a little provoking in taste, but, for all that, bread that had not been moulding for weeks" (Borowski).

This example effectively demonstrates the tone of day to day life. The ...

Literature

Imagery:
Both poems employ imagery as a way of relaying their messages. In the poem ‘My papa’s waltz’, the poem is descriptive of a kind of dance performed by a father and his son. A kind of bedtime ‘run around the house’. The dance is symbolic of the relationship between the father and other members of his family. The dance, while the boy enjoys it, is not an amusing matter to his father. The father, apparently under the influence of whisky, is desperate for his son to go to sleep. The dance ensuing represents a respectful relationship where the boy, despite ...

A logical dissection is a composed clarification about how an essayist (or speaker) endeavors to change the psyche of his or her group of onlookers. A compelling explanatory examination shows a full understanding of the interchange of the expository triangle.

“Living Like Weasels” – Annie Dillard

A Rhetorical Analysis
Both these pieces of writing centre around an encounter with an animal, but in each case the author’s real purpose is slightly different than to merely describe their encounters with an elephant, in Orwell’s case, and a weasel, in Dillard’s. Orwell’s true purpose, apart from the inevitable element of self-revelation, which any non-fictional account will probably entail, is to create pathos in the reader, faced with the description of the shooting of the elephant, and to point out the invidious effects of imperialism. Similarly, Dillard’s piece is, in a real sense, not ...

The poem “Love In Place”, written by Nikki Giovanni, is dedicated to the theme of love. It is clear that the poem is very personal and the poet shares the most intimate thoughts and emotions that she felt her life. In her sonnet the Giovanni tries to identify what is love and what this feeling means to her. Thinking about her past memories, the speaker tries to understand whether she has ever fallen in love in her life. This question seems to be rather significant for the poet. Moreover, while thinking about love, she tries to find some evidences ...

The issue of the deeper meaning of life in the world of a book or story can easily be gleaned through a story’s tone. In the case of some works of Gothic horror, tone is an excellent way to indicate the helplessness and inexorable darkness at the heart of life.

Caravaggio’s influence has been felt within many different pieces of art. Caravaggio implemented the idea that idealized beauty was not essential to making interesting or popular art.

Caravaggio’s style typically had less complicated iconography and a more straight forward naturalistic approach to telling stories.

The pressures on women to maintain a particular sort of look are immense in our society. Thanks to the tween-oriented campaigns by the lingerie giant Victoria’s Secret, there are elementary school girls going around with shorts saying “I LOVE PINK” on them.

This brings sexuality into the minds of girls well before they are ready for it, and so by the time they reach middle school, many of them already view themselves through the lens ...

Even if Macbeth and the Tell-Tale Heart, penned by Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe respectively, were written centuries apart, it’s the common theme of guilt expressed so well in the latter that helps us imagine Lady Macbeth’s state of mind (Deighton). In particular, it is the pangs of guilt that she suffers from throughout the play after coercing her husband to commit regicide - to kill King Duncan - who consider Macbeth to be an ally and friend. In the Tell-Tale Heart, the killer suffers from delusions after committing the deed in killing the old man and ...

I believe that everyone has an implicit view of the different things. The information of our true attitude to the certain social groups or current political events can be hidden from other people due to the obvious or not reluctance to demonstrate the real opinion.

The presentation is quite insightful and at the same time thought provoking, and I noted a two things. First, it is indeed true that neurogenic theory does not comprehensively explain asthma pathogenesis, and immunological theory does not explain all asthma features such as airway hyperreactivity. Second, you have mentioned that asthmatic patients have been reported to have higher parasympathetic tone, yet it has never been suggested as an underlying causal factor for the disease. This raised several questions, but the one that stood out most is, “what role does the parasympathetic system play in airway hyper-responsiveness?” According to Hamid, ...

The main themes – love and war – are depicted with the help of the reach usage of stylistic devices, imagery and tone.
The first thing that immediately strikes the reader’s attention is the unusual structure of the poem. The ...
