Rhetoric Literature Reviews Samples For Students

Dubliners is a novel in the loosest of senses, much in the same way that The Martian Chronicles is a novel. Both books contain vignettes that can stand alone as separate short stories, although they contain characters and a sort of story arc that holds the whole entity together. One of the main elements that holds the story together is the plight of the poor in Dublin; despite the fact that most of the characters are poor, the truth of their poverty comes to the reader indirectly, through such details as the fact that Lenehan has not eaten all day, while he ...

Mounted on the one hundred dollar bill and known for his many contributions and inventions to society, Benjamin Franklin is known as velour inspiration and wisdom. However, under this scenario, Franklin is an arrogant, self-conceited narcissist who only accomplished exceptional tasks, such as inventing the stove in 1742 not to better society, but simply to appease himself. Such evidence is portrayed in his autobiography, which Franklin named The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. In this said autobiography are numerous instances where Franklin’s arrogance and hypocrisy is blatantly obvious. Much of these egotistical instances are apparent using diction, syntax, mood, ...

Thesis statement

Learning various languages expands the boundaries for people and provides the different opportunities to cross-cultural dialogue, business development and employment. About 60% of the World population speak more than one language. Acquiring correct and intellible pronunciation, according to general observation, is one of the hardest tasks for all language learners.
Most of the additional language learners develop an accent, that allows other people to distinguish non-native speaker and to make suggestions about her origin and native language. Presence of an accent commonly does not change intelligibility of the speech (perceived phonological constancy, Mulak et al., 2013), that is ...

Apparently, throughout the work of Patricia Bizzell, she employs the use of rhetorical questions. By definition, a rhetorical question is a question normally asked for effect, with no anticipation of an answer in regard to the same. In most of the parts where Bizzell incorporates the use of rhetorical questions, she does so essentially because the answer to it is too obvious, or it is provided immediately by the questioner.
Firstly, Bizzell makes use of the rhetorical questions to engage the reader by offering him or her platform where he or she can assimilate ideas in relation to that of ...

Plato and Aristotle are two of the most well-respected and influential minds in Greek philosophy and literature; Aristotle was Plato’s student, and learned a great deal from him. However, at the same time, they had many subjects on which they differed.

Furthermore, Aristotle believed the practice of Rhetoric was a viable and illuminating way to look at the world, while Plato believed that it was ...

Though reading for a majority of children may seem like second nature to them as they progress in classes, for some who suffer from reading disorders, it is a nightmare. This is because these children find themselves unable to master that ability of decoding words in print in an efficient manner. In a bid to cure this malady, several interventions have been undertaken amongst children. Nonetheless, of all interventions that have been undertaken over the years, phonological awareness intervention has elicited the most significant interest and attention. It is also the case that speech-language pathologists who work in preschool and work with ...

Experimentation required people to visit the laboratory and speak, as they would ...

A person’s lip shape holds much more importance than being a mere facial feature. Older studies of Petajan et al. and more recent works of Daubias , Goecke , and Nakata & Ando , have shown that the movement of the mouth plays a crucial role in speech detection. The Audio Visual Speech Recognition or AVSR and Mobile Phone Visual System for the hearing impaired or MPVS multimedia systems also rely on visual lip reading to function effectively . Further, lip shape and prints can be used as evidence for identifying persons for criminal and forensic purposes. Lip prints of a person remain the same throughout ...

Many of the great innovations in history have come about when a pair of friends, meeting in high school or college, had a paradigm-shifting idea together and then decided to bring that idea to the marketplace. In recent decades, one of the most well-known examples was the creation of Apple, a computer company that began in a garage, as a collaboration between Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, and has revolutionized the cell phone, music listening and tablet computing industries. However, these sorts of partnerships are nothing new, as The Spectator shows. Founded in 1711 by Charterhouse School chums Joseph Addison and Richard Steele, this ...

One of the utilized techniques is repetition of the word choices. ...

Boy at the Window by Richard Wilbur is an emotive poem which plays on childish emotions that we all feel memories of from our own childhood. In doing this, Wilbur is able to engage his reader by invoking past emotions and memories. This is compounded by the poet’s ability to write in a conversational manner which flows and allows the reader the chance to comprehend the words, whilst accessing their own interpretations of them. The poem’s layout is deliberately conventional because the poet intends to play on the readers’ memory and emotion, rather than creating mental images per ...

What is the meaning of life? This question has pre-occupied human existence for ages. This quest for meaning is reflected in scientific expeditions, art, and in most religious gatherings. In “O Me! O Life!” Walt Whitman mocks this human pre-occupation with finding meaning. The fear of not knowing what life is and of being dissatisfied with one’s contribution cripples the spirit of life. Not only does he see human folly in people around him but also in himself. Life has become a “recurring” and “endless” lamentation on sorrow, sorrow that is induced by constant self-flagellation. This paper seeks to ...

Summary – Katula and Donald

In Katula’s essay “The Gettysburg Address as the Centerpiece of American Racial Discourse,” the author argues that Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address was the turning point at which America’s destiny was turned to the search for racial equality. The work itself is largely an opinion piece, only working from speculation of the Address itself in the context of history (citing other importance civil rights events like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Brown v. Board of Education and more) to paint the Address as something that inspired all these other cultural advances. As a professor of African-American studies, Katula ...

According to Keith Grant-Davie is it vital to examine rhetorical situations as sets of interacting influences from which rhetoric cases arises (Grant-Davie 104). This is the primary background of the author’s argument in his work. The author argues that a particular situation may give rise to differing actions, debates and opinions regarding how that particular issue ought to be addressed. A good example in the passage is the Sherwood sign board, which sparked debate concerning its legality and environmental, ethical issues. As such, it is important for writers or public speakers to identify and address the fundamental issues ...

Several myths have been discussed with regards to the founding father’s perspective to the United States of America as a nation. Some of the common myths known are: the founding fathers wanted a secular nation thus, in order to achieve this, the state had to separate itself from religion. They solidly supported the radical combat, which was between the British soldiers and the American patriots. They were isolationists whereby they ensured the nation does not sign any treaties that will either compromise their freedom or bind them forever as a country. The founding fathers were above the political ...

You can tell a lot about a person merely by what their appearance is telling you; these ‘channels’ of the body are what express the mind’s emotional state, and help to judge someone’s personality, and whether something is affecting their state of mind. Nonverbal behavior is an important component to forming impressions about people's personality, sociability, and mood, among other things (Ambady and Rosenthal, p. 439). When someone typically tries to figure out what someone’s emotional state may be, three determinants are used; the emotional state of the observer, the emotional state of the observed, and the information ...

Introduction

Addressing the objective of this academic investigation engages in dialogue how the writings of Norma Alarcon, Kimberle' Crenshaw, Judith Butler, and Roderick Ferguson align with the rearticulation of the theory of intersectionality criticizing the liberal notion of identity and subjectivity of women social and political issues.

There are multiple faces and variances of feminism nowadays, differentiating both geographical as well as cultural (Dunand Zimmerman, 2013). The western feminism comprises the values of the developed and partly developing countries, whereas the African and Asian feminism comprises the values of these societies, where besides gender, race is another element that defines women and the feminism discourse (Dunand Zimmerman, 2013). But in practice things are much more complex than this simply structured formulation of localized feminism. Looking at the Islamic Asian countries, for instance, there can be observed great differences between women’s condition in Turkey or Egypt, ...

Tone

The tone of this piece is the author’s concern with life and death. Her voice is personal, describing the world she observes with wonder and interest. The tone is not introspective, but instead has an external focus, viewing the wider world with a tone that suggests its impersonal yet implacable nature. Although the Woolf attempts to describe with detachment, her tone cannot remain so as she witnesses the life and death of the moth. Whether or not she wants to be, her tone is one of captivation by this example of life and death. Additionally, there is a tone of ...

In her article “Framing Cultural Difference: Immigrant Women and Discourses of Tradition,” Volpp portrays how immigrant culture can confine the lives of immigrants to a troubling conflict regarding whether they should remain traditional or become modern. To support her central argument, she elucidates the case of Tina Isa, a 16-year old immigrant Palestinian girl who was murdered in the U.S. by her own parents. Volpp argues that specific important facts become indecipherable because of the conflict of remaining traditional or becoming modern, where the powerful context within which violence against women takes place is ignored or not adequately emphasized. Volpp argues ...

It is a million dollar question. What makes a good piece of literature? What makes a memorable piece of music? The question applies to every medium of art in factwhat makes the work of a human worth seeing, worth reading, listening, feeling or watching, studying. And the answer too is simple enough. Any work of art that conveys an idea in its purity and freshness no matter where the looking glass is aimed at, from whichever perspective, is worthy of note. Literature can transmit ideas from ages past, to demographics wide, mould itself into fashions and traditions and yet mean something different to ...

In more ways than one, the conceptualized constructs demarcating the means by which money exchange takes place within the contemporary world economy are profuse than they might actually appear. The ideology of a contemporary capitalism culture can be split two ways; the thinking of a financializer versus that of a technologist. This paper will take on a triangulation approach at trying to deconstruct the ideals of contemporary capitalism. By cross-referencing different theorizations, the two loudly acclaimed arrangements of abstraction – financialization and technological abstraction – shall be extrapolated and used to establish the actual stand concerning the doctrine of capitalism today.
