    Bill Perry is terrified but the millennials aren't. Perry explains how millennials, mentioned to be the largest upcoming population, are “blissfully unaware” of a nuclear war that can possibly come our way. First of all, I think that millennials are unaware about the situation because it's brought up in a context of history. For example, we learned about the nuclear bombing in Hiroshima and can't believe a catastrophic event such as that would happen again. But as Perry directs his position, history repeats itself and with a greater effect, “Today, the danger of some sort of a nuclear catastrophe is greater than it was during the Cold War.”…

    Various groups of people have long believed something differentiates themselves from others. Most take this further, claiming that they surpass all other peoples. This scheme of thought dominated early America, and continued to provide a justification for ethnocentric attitudes through the mid 19th century. In turn, these beliefs justified discrimination against others in all facets of American society, leading the Anglo-Saxon majority to snub recent immigrants, and in its extreme, perpetuate the slave system. Yet, the cogent arguments for these beliefs remained slim.…

    One passage that resonated the most with me from “Song of Solomon,” was the scene at Tommy’s Barbershop. During this passage, the reader sees a few characters react to the lynching of Emmett Till. The lynching of Emmett Till was a typical example of the disparity faced between African Americans and Whites in the United States. Emmett Till was a 14-year-old boy who was murdered for what was believed to be flirting with at a white woman (Carolyn Bryant), however, many different viewpoints exist on what Till actually did to flirt with Bryant. Although born in Illinois, Till was visiting Mississippi at the time of his murder, which was notorious for being very discriminatory against blacks.…

    In chapter three of Song of Solomon, Milkman learns about the repulsive and shocking story of his mother, Ruth, having a sexual situation with her dead father. At hearing the story of how his own mom sucked on the fingers on her dead father whilst lying beside his corpse in the nude, Milkman left his house in confusion and anger. Based on Milkman's actions, it is clear that he has suppressed memories and is somewhat traumatized by what he found out about his mother. He is put into an almost detached state of reality as he just stands in the busy trafficked sidewalk contemplating everything he had just been told. This almost seems as a sort of symbolism of Milkman’s life.…

    According to Aristotle, for an argument to be effective it needs to be persuasive. In order for persuasion to occur, it must appeal to one’s reasoning, emotions, and authority. These terms are referred to as logos for reasoning, pathos for emotion, and ethos for authority. With that being said, when comparing the two essays, “On Real Education” by Robert T. Perry, and “Is College for Everyone?” by Pharinet, Robert T. Perry did a better job at persuading his audience by using the modes of rhetoric.…
