He first gets a bottle of Aquafina water and said,” The man behind this is a multi-billionaire and this concept is stupid.” “How can you pay for something that is free?” He then begins to talk about how dumb the idea of Hobby Lobby is and yet the person who created it makes billions of dollars by selling picture frames and arts and craft’s parts. He then talks about people who became rich despite growing up in very dire situations. An example would be Cathy Hughes. He talked about how she had a baby as a teenager and her family lost everything but she refused to give up her radio station. He went on to state that she would sleep inside of her radio station and he would say, “That is an example of true dedication!” “Would you sleep in your radio station?!” However, one of his examples caught my eye. He stated a statistic saying on average we have three ideas per year that could make us millionaire but he does not state any sources to that stat. While his ideas were all over the place, he did have a foundation to his speech. He started out with showing and telling us the dumb ideas that made people millions of dollars. Next, talks about the dedication people did in order to keep their business afloat. Then, he talks about his success story and his willingness to mentor other people to help with their ideas. Last, he leaves the best example which is his sister who is

    In the eulogy for the honorable reverend Clementa Pinckney, President Obama shows us the good use of the rhetorical analysis. In this analysis of the speech I will be discussing the use of ethos, pathos, logos. Obama starts the speech showing us that there is an emotional connection between him and his audience, this creates pathos. Obama adds “scripture tells us,” this part makes him credible for the audience because he is talking to people in a church and he brought a citation from the bible. Then in the next paragraph he starts saying about how good of a person Clem was and this created an increase in the affection of the people to the reverend.…

    Social class in America is an uncomfortable subject for many Americans; most believe that America is an essentially middle-class nation, however, author Gregory Mantsios argues otherwise. In this article, I will break apart “Class in America-2012” and explain how it creates a persuasive effect on readers. Mantsios accomplishes this effect by debunking popular myths through statistical evidence and providing real-life examples. This analysis will only provide the author’s opinions, and not my own, as to remain objective and fair throughout. Is the social class divide in America as large as most Americans think?…

    I think that his intentions with the speech are to clarify and, like I said earlier, to motivate the audience, and make them believe that they can do it, if they work for it. In the end he says, “people don’t expect the government to solve all their problems”, so he talks on behalf of them, which makes them unite and unconsciously agree with him. In that way I think his intentions worked pretty well, and that people really did feel inspired, because he related to them with his story, like I know I…
