Monpoly: Board Game Analysis

Improved Essays
For my visual argument I made a graphic meant to represent the financial struggles of college. The board game is a mimic of Monopoly so that the viewer instantly recognizes it and can instantly understand the image. Like in Monopoly each block has different events that you go through to make it around the board, though here the prices are meant to represent different cost that come up during a school year such as tuition, housing, parking passes and meal programs. The colors used are supposed to play on subconscious connotation, by associating, jail and loans and college by having all three be in red all three get carry a certain negative connotation. The player is alone, meaning they have no other option to ask for help to get through

    Kayla Webley, the author of the piece, does an impeccable job of appealing to not only the reader's trust with her use of ethos, but also to the reader's logic by using several statistics. By adding several testimonies, she is able to get her point across while convincing the audience that what she is saying is valid. However, the author does a below average job of appealing to the emotions of the audience. Her emotional tactics are very in-effective, as she could have shown the hardships that students in debt face, however she simply used their testimony to show how much debt they face.…

    A rhetorical analysis “breaks a work of nonfiction into parts and then explains how the parts work together to create a certain effect—whether to persuade, entertain or inform ” (“Rhetorical Analysis”). There are in fact many stakeholder organizations that implement this technique to effectively convey their argument through the use of several rhetorical appeals such as ethos, pathos, logos and kairos. Stakeholders are organizations or individuals who have a stake in or “care about any given issue, topic, or event” (Browning 45). One such organization is the Polaris Project which is “a leader in the global fight to eradicate modern slavery” (Bouchard).…

    When it comes to the case of the cost vs the reward of going to college we could see that the two people that went to collage fully stood behind the fact that college was worth it but only used their own experience to support their reason. While the two people that didn 't go to college fully stood behind the fact that college is not worth the cost and used numbers in polls to support their argument. The next aspect was the job market for college graduates and in this it showed that both people from both sides of the argument both had a job before their last year in college and that neither had trouble finding work after college. Lastly was the Future opportunities for college graduates vs the future opportunities for people who didn 't attend college and in this it showed that neither side of the argument had facts to support their argument and only had opinions from their own side to help persuade their side of the argument.…

I thought that the play tied all of the characters together extremely well and it was incredibly well preformed. Although I usually find plays of this genre of no interest to me, this play changed my opinion. I thought that it was really well done.…

    Transition and character prove to be crucial elements used by playwrights Jane Harrison and Lally Katz in their powerful contemporary Australian plays. The playwrights manipulate these elements to create powerful, moving scenes in both Neighbourhood Watch and Stolen that tackle issues including the ‘Australian’ identity and isolation. By similarly incorporating elements, styles and acting techniques intended by both playwrights, my group was able to create a fully theatrically realised piece that communicated Australian issues powerfully. Alike to Neighbourhood Watch, Stolen explores identity in a way that educated white Australians on the severity of the issue.…

    In today’s society, many people are pressured to feeling like they have to go to college in order to get a good job and be successful in the future. Along with going to college comes the ridiculous amount of money that all students face in debt after they graduate. The short essay, “Is Forgiving Student Loan Debt a Good Idea?,” written by Kayla Webley, gives many examples of why she thinks that Robert Applebaum’s proposal of bailing out anyone with student loan debt is a bad idea. The author discusses how unfeasible this proposal is and the negative side effects that this would have on our country. Kayla Webley successfully uses logos to challenge the ideas of Robert Applebaum while confusing the audience when trying to appeal to their emotions, and her lack of credibility in her appeal to ethos does not help strengthen her argument.…
