    The author presents his claim that the idea of agriculture was detrimental to our lives as human beings, and he goes on in the rest of the article to support this argument with scientific evidence provided by various paleopatholigists and his own personal experiences. Though the article is classified as an editorial, the author visits New Guinea and uses his experiences there to further his claim.

    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.”…

The article was published on October 24th, 2017 and basically outlines the current situation in the Middle East and John McCain’s opinion on how we should proceed. For the majority of the article, McCain goes through and explains every conflict going on in the Middle East.

This problems specifically troubles McCain because he sees the Kurds as our most valuable ally in the Middle East.…

    Anthony Smith sets the rhetorical question: (1)"Where, after all, lay the reasons for the existence of every nation (if you distinguish it from the state), if not in the cultivation of its unique (or perceived as unique) cultural value? Ethnic differences remain the terms ‘sine qua non’ and that means shared myths about ancestor’s common historical memories, unique cultural traits and sense of difference - if not chosen by God - all elements typical of the ethnic communities of the pre-modern era. They must be maintained in the modern nation, so it won’t be invisible.” His statement that "nations have deep roots" can be traced back to the national identity. This idea is also emphasized in the work of Alvin and Heidi Toffler(2), whose description…

    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.…

    shoulders of present and future government, it also has a lot to do with past government officials as well. Kurt Schlichter, a retired army official and professor at an army academy, gives his opinion based on his experience serving our country on the government, and how it effects our obsession with zombies. He goes into detail about how in our history we have had many presidents, like Kennedy, George W. Bush, and now Obama that promise us many things they cannot deliver. These are the some of the most recent presidents, but certainly not all that have done this. He explains that each of them has offered up ideas and proposals that seem to be bullet proof and extraordinary solutions to the problems in our country—yet all of them have fallen short in some way or another.…

Taking English 101 is a jump start for me, because last year of high school my teacher focused primarily on English literature. The course has introduced me to rhetorical analysis, and swatching (imitating author argument). Throughout the semester and all of the papers written I can say that it was a good experience to write at a college level and the expectation from college professors is good for future courses that involve writing essays.…
