Comment to Eryn Speer from Rachel Garrison

I enjoyed your paper overall, the different perspective of the storyteller made the story mysterious and exciting for the viewer. Up until the end I believed that the James we were speaking of was a creature and yet it was a human. Giving the audience a small glimse of what is in store for them during the story in the beginging and changing their expectations complately gives the storyteller the upperhand. Letting every detail of the story draw the viewer into what they believe is going to happen, then switching it around, keeping the reader insterested and questioning. Loved the detail in describing the surroundings and feelings of the characters.

Some of the things that I would change grammatically

    Reading this statement the my first understanding of the quote is defined as, having a society where “fantasies” are demanded by order and are also created by order. This might first be hard to understand but while looking through the work of Laura Mulvey we come to understand that “phantasy” is a mixture of sexual desire and self-image. Mulvey states, “During its history, the cinema seems to have evolved a particular illusion of reality in which this contradiction between libido and ego has found a beautifully complementary phantasy world.” (VP & NC pg. 308).…

    In the passage “What Has Happened Here” Elsa Barkley Brown believes that women’s history should be inclusive of gender, race, and culture as these have important significance in shaping outcomes and society perspective. She talks about how historians like to “isolate one conversation” (297) to explore them to tailor its dialogue to fit different narratives. This however in turn loses significant facts that should not be left out when shaping the details. Barkley is adamant about the importance of Anita Hill’s race in the testimony of the sexual harassment case. Thinking that in order to make the public more sympathetic and keep the case simplified they should focus strictly on the sexual harassment of a women by a man.…

Winston Nesbitt states, “... Smith drowned his nephew for motives of personal gain” (103).

    Ann Richards presented her Keynote Address to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in 1988. Descriptive analysis aims to understand the purpose of a work, and the methods used to achieve that purpose. There are six elements, not including purpose, that can be strategically used to achieve a goal: persona, audience, tone, structure, supporting materials, and other strategies (Campbell and Burkholder 21). This rhetorical analysis examines how Ann Richards uses persona during her Keynote Address to the 1988 Democratic National Convention to convince listeners that the current government is dividing the country and that equality for all is important.…

    In this paper, I present Jan Narvesonʻs argument that no one should be morally required to assist those who are impoverished or starving. I will then object to this statement by arguing that those who are financially secure who are able to maintain comfortable lifestyles are morally obligated to distribute a portion of their wealth or excess food and supplies to those in need. My objection consists of two main arguments, the first being that those who are financially secure may be responsible for the impoverishment of others as a result of their consumption habits. The second component of my objection is that people should be morally obligated to distribute any excess money, food, or supplies they feel that they are able to because it would…

    Choosing a valedictorian is a tradition in American high schools as it creates a sense of pride in the students who earn the title, but is it always a good thing? In “Best in Class” by Margaret Talbot, she creates a message that the issue of valedictorian isn’t necessarily a bad one, but it can be modified to become a more pleasurable tradition as it creates an unhappiness in a certain group of people rather than giving satisfaction to everyone as a whole. Talbot applies an appeal to logos as well as anecdotes of the experiences of other students in order to portray her message to the audience. Although Talbot doesn’t explicitly state her claim, it can be inferred through her use of logos that she does not support the traditional way of choosing…

    “Thank You for Arguing: What Aristotle, Lincoln, and Homer Simpson Can Teach Us about the Art of Persuasion” made me realize how imperative arguing is to our everyday life. The book has been utilized in schools across the U.S for many years due to many readers, including myself finding Jay Heinrich’s cleverness and passion for rhetoric as an intriguing portal to the world of literature. Heinrichs has even been named “Professor of the Practice of Rhetoric and Oratory” at Middlebury College, and his book is also said to be one of the top ten books assigned at Harvard University. Throughout “Thank You for Arguing” Heinrichs effectively describes and demonstrates the different ways in which argument by character, logic, and emotion can act as powerful tools of persuasion, it is very well shown in chapter 4 and made me recognize how vital rhetoric is for us and our future generations.…
