Franciscan Catholic Rhetorical Analysis

On September 20th, the day of our picnic, God gave us a beautiful day filled with plenty of sunshine and cool breezes. So many of our brothers and sisters from other fraternity’s took part in our annual picnic and shared in Franciscan companionship.

As I looked around the grounds of the friary and saw our Franciscan Charism flowing among those in attendance, I thought to myself this is what our Charism is all about, sharing, loving, caring, allowing the Holy Spirit to move in us and through others.

Thanks to all for the wonderful job in pulling this picnic together. Without your fraternal love and giving of yourself we could not have succeeded in providing wonderful fellowship with our Franciscan brothers and sisters

I would like to

    Paul Johnson and Sean Wilentz present an almost antithesis to the Second Great Awakening with The Kingdom of Matthias. The religious revival movement of the mid 1800’s emphasized a host of things previously unheard of by the zealots of the 18th century. Women were empowered in their roles of spirituality and salvation became a journey instead of a destination. I consider the mark of the Second Awakening to be an opportunity to define religion and what it means to you—within the parameters of the multiple evangelical and perfectionist movements.…

    Rhetorical strategies are used in throughout our lives. There are seven rhetorical strategies: purpose, message, voice, audience, ethos, pathos, and logos. Without these seven rhetorical strategies, it would be impossible to persuade someone, sell a product, or win an argument. These seven rhetorical strategies are what make a commercial good and effective. Comparing the commercials “In the Arms of an Angel” and “What Not To Buy”, “In the Arms of an Angel” demonstrates better uses of purpose, message, voice, logos, and pathos.…

    Our Lady of the Lake College is a Catholic institution that was created in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, who firmly believed that all of creation spoke volumes of God’s love for us. St. Francis was raised in a fairly wealthy family, and it was not until he was captured at battle for two years, that he decided to embark on the glorious journey of knowing Jesus Christ. He began preaching to word of God, and embraced others that were not of his kind. Students who attend Our Lady of the Lake College should be of the same example to others throughout their academic careers. As Franciscans, We live by five core values that are service, reverence and love for all of life, joyfulness of spirit, humility, and justice.…

    Project SELF interests caught my attention since sophomore year. In May of 2017, an unexpected news from my father came out of blue. My father was fired from his job.

Although, I realized my father worked at the tender age of seventeen, and moved twice to the United States twice in order to give his family the best life possible.…

    As an educator and member of the Newark community, I would like to express my opinion on the need for police reform in Newark. When you came into office your platform was heavy with rhetoric to reform the police culture and practices of the Newark Police Department. I would wholeheartedly agree with you but to date, I have not seen many changes. I understand that this is a very large issue to tackle with many moving parts and pieces but I believe that the police culture can only begin to change only when police officers are stakeholders in our community.…

Each type of media and each company produces a different story. It is so hard to distinguish which articles are telling the truth and which ones aren’t.

    When it comes to the subject of education, oftentimes many people are skeptical as to whether an institution is basically going to take their money or give them the instruction they expect. In our society today, we see that the cost of living is rising ever so slightly each and every year. With that, it costs colleges big and small far more to provide students with the educational resources that they need. These resources can consume anything from leisure activities to housing opportunities and even providing the highest quality professors. Correspondingly, this leads to the rising cost of education (tuition).…

    In the following article from 2002, author Melissa Greene, uses a past experience of a tragic death in her high school to draw conclusions about the Layla House Orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Greene uses a European/American stereotype style of writing to express her views on what will be the future for children in orphanages that have tested positive for the HIV/AIDS virus. Throughout the article Greene, reflects on how most children who have a positive HIV/AID result will not be adopted into the United States due to families not “wanting” a child with a deathly disease and in contrary the US should extend their arms to these children the most. Out of the positive babies in African orphanages, 75% of them will pass away before age two where as babies in the United States who have received successful HIV/AIDS treatment are projected to live a longer life by a factor of 90% less deaths from 1994 until 2002. () One of the many misconceptions of the HIV/AIDS virus is the origination of the disease.…

    Writing a rhetorical analysis for my article in my opinion had truly made me capable of picking apart the strategies the authors used to construct the article effectively. I was able to recognize what type of strategy the authors used to effectively persuade the readers to lower the temperature of hot beverages. Some other strong points in my paper were the straightforwardness of my paragraphs. I was able to get right to the point without adding and fluff to make my paragraphs flow better. Although I had some strong points, I would like to point out a weakness I saw after I submitted my analysis.…

    The audience for my summary is professionals with a college degree that are unclear of the role that racism has on society. Through my summary, I set focus on race obliviousness throughout society. This information is relevant to college professionals because it is often a topic that is ignored or perhaps goes unnoticed. I believe my audience is hesitant toward the subject because of the degree of uncomfort it entails. Based on what I know from my audience, I assured to keep my language professional, but simple towards the specific points I am emphasizing on.…

    In Frank O’Conner’s, the “First Confession”, the author leads the reader down a comical path of childhood mischief, and innocence. The author’s tone and style is depicted in the story of children, Jackie and Nora, through sibling rivalry, comical views of childhood “sins” and actions, and resolution by confession and conversations with the priest. O’Conner uses lighthearted tone and humorous style within the passage and uses contrast of honesty and hypocrisy as basis of the story. The lighthearted tone is exemplified by the experiences of the children, especially the main character or protagonist, Jackie.…

    J. Hector St. John de Crévecoeur (1735-1813) wrote a series of essays in 1782, called Letters from an American Farmer. This French aristocrat wrote these essays to describe Americans and the colonial American society. Crévecoeur traveled around the American colonies to gain the information he needed to write his essays for the rest of the world to read. Crévecoeur uses his determined tone and rhetorical strategies to portray the citizens in the Americas as their own society and describes how they flourished. Crévecoeur wanted to justify why the Americans should have left the countries they did and why the Americans should no longer claim their old country.…
