    In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Lee helps us to understand as to who are the mockingbirds in the novel she especially wanted us to see Atticus, Boo, and Tom. Throughout the book Lee is able to present to us many valuable meanings, but the one that stands out to everyone is that innocence should be protected, but cannot always be protected. Many characters can be portrayed as mockingbirds throughout the whole novel, but the three that stand out to me are Tom Robinson, Atticus Finch, and Boo Radley. These three characters are innocent anyway you look at it, but each of them get in hurt in their own unique way.…

    Imagine doing or experiencing something great, and something almost regretful at the same time. This sounds much like a dare where one gets a dollar for let’s say dumpster diving. Feeling all the mushy rotten food that burns one’s nose, but that satisfying dollar that one could buy a snack with. Pleasant and nasty, right? However, the book “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens describes positive and negative situations much better.…

    In Maria W. Stewart's lecture in Boston in 1832, she conveys her position on the injustices of slavery and the cruelty that slaves experiences through the use of diction, figurative language, and her own personal experience. Altogether, these create a sense of injustice and desparity for the cause of the African Americans and their freedoms and aspirations to be something more than just servile labor. Diction is a major influence in this lecture. With a variety of words, such as "chains", "ragged", "drudgery and toil", "exhausted", "death", and "cruel", Stewart appeals to the feelings of people in an attempt to make them understand the hardships and extreme injustice that encompass the life of a slave. To continue, there is also another set…

    Despite the natural rights and humane principles presented in our nation, we are not all treated equally. Our modern world struggles with social and racial discrimination, despite lawful efforts to prevent such attrocities. This has impacted our society through unspeakable means, and has molded many of our beliefs and ideals regarding the freedom and equality of those around us and how they strive to rightfully earn and represent these privleges. These thoughts were much different in 1832, however, and are demonstrated through Maria W. Stewart's lecture. Through careful utilization of the three rhetorical strategies, Stewart enables herself to appeal to logic, emotion, and ethics to persuade her audience of her personal (although biased)…
