My Rhetorical Visual Reflection Paper

Decent Essays
The reason I chose my Rhetorical Visual Analysis to revise is because it was one of my lowest graded papers. I made a few crucial mistakes resulting in a lower grade. While typing this paper, I was not effective incorporating in text citations. Then after I typed the documented analysis, I knew what I had to do. Three places in my paper I added in text citations or changed the wording, since they were not in my words. “Chick magnet” you thought I used that from a source, but we talked about it and I thought of it in my head. I thought of it by thinking about advertisements about Old Spice and Axe they refer them as “getting the chicks to come to you” or “chick magnet.” Then there were a few grammatical errors I fixed up, so they make sense.

    Lastly, the final parts of the rhetorical situations are the constraints. The constraints in this article directly lay in the time period at which it was written. The second feminist wave had been occurring for at least a decade by the time Judy Brady had published this in Ms. Magazine. It would be another eight to nine years before computers were mass produced and sold to the public; meaning there was no public access to internet articles and therefore, one of the only ways her article could have been read would have been inside Ms. Magazine. Besides the magazine itself, she would read Why I Want a Woman at conventions and feminist rallies.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Paper At your petition, I have read and reviewed the article “Never Just Pictures” by Susan Bordo, to consider whether it would be fit to use it in The Shorthorn or not.

    In my visual rhetorical assignment, I feel I did a great job on describing how pathos had a huge influence on the tactic Extra gum used for their commercial I chose. For example, in my paper, I mentioned plenty of times on how Extra gum used romance to reel in their audience with emotion. How it could relate to many different types of people in recent relationships, old relationships, or even single people. I did not feel like I needed to change this topic just because it was really important to know how Extra gum used it. I feel like describing pathos is something that I find easy to talk about.…

    The article “Miscalculation on Visas Disrupts Lives of Highly Skilled Immigrants” (2015), by Julia Preston, states the State Department and Homeland Security allowed the department to give anticipating immigrants news of them being able to take the next step to obtain a green card. The author provides background information about the situation, along with reasons as to why the incident occurred, and its impact on immigrants. Preston attempts to inform about the episode and provide an explanation to the immigrants involved, through the use of rhetorical appeals. Preston establishes ethos before the article starts, as she is a reporter of a reputable newspaper, which gives her credibility. She starts off her article powerfully by providing context for those who are unaware of the situation; in the beginning of September, the State Department told thousands of highly skilled legal immigrants that they “would be able to advance early to the next step: filing a formal application.”…

    Every individual person in the modern world is innately capable of performing similar duties as everyone else, yet people differ immensely in cultures and beliefs. The levels of advancement and innovation are also unmistakably diverse, leading to certain societies dominating and seizing control over others. Recognizing the causes of these economic and social dissimilarities is crucial in analyzing and attempting to find an approach in dealing with world conflicts. Jared Diamond, an ornithologist, was posed a seemingly simple but very complex question by a local politician named Yali. During a casual conversation, Yali simply asks why the Westerners had already developed so much technology and goods when settling, while the Natives in New Guinea…

    President Barack Obama’s actions have been questioned since the day he took the oath of office. These three articles address the constitutional limitations to his actions on immigration. Each article produces an individual view to the subject, including different tones and opinions, while maintaining objectivity and using rhetoric to convey their ideas. With this specific language, the authors are able to portray their view on the president’s plan in such a way that draws the reader in and allows them to understand different points of view and beliefs on President Obama’s congressional actions. The first article “The Constitutional Authority for Executive Orders on Immigration Is Clear” by Eric Posner sets a clear attack towards opposing…

    In my case, the topic of visual rhetoric about environmental issues was the most interesting and loving section so far. It is the unavoidable and indispensable fact that we live in visual and image-based society and the world and we get accustomed to things have significant meanings and visual images. I think that seeing with materials with images will be much easier way to understand and this could be easier way to make attention from diverse people. People break complicated or unfamiliar things about environmental issues down and they can have imagination and prediction in their mind and brain. Political scientist Murray Edelman (1964) stressed that “Such symbols are able to “condense into one symbolic event or sign” powerful emotions, memories,…

    President, I commend you on these matters, and I am not asking for retribution on this matter. I am asking for further, and harsher enforcement on these matters. Don’t be afraid to get tougher, the statistics show it can only get better from here. Should it not boggle the mind that citizens in the USA want rights for someone who we know nothing about, and could possibly hut us. Imagine the Kate Stinley case happening to hundreds of children nationwide.…

    In the essay titled “Ways of Seeing,” by John Berger, it is apparent that the author speaks to a higher class of academics that there is a subjective way people of today’s culture view things, including art. He contends that the socially accepted normality’s skew the perspective of the current generation and it is believed that there should be multiple ways of thinking instead of one. Though subtle at first glance, Mr. Berger uses the three key rhetorical strategies; logos, ethos, and pathos to develop a persuasive argument towards changing subjective observations. By tying in logical reason to support his claim, showing trustworthiness, and giving emotional persuasion, the Author uses all three rhetorical strategies to try and change certain subjective thinking.…
