She goes onto say how the “characters are as exciting as oatmeal.” (2.3) She explains how the characters lack any depth and how some characters seemed “miscast.” (2.4) Then with so many characters to follow there ends up being very little plot even with the movie being two and a half hours long. Basically the movie tried to do too much at one time. To top off the movie, the final fight scene was portrayed from too close to the action, making in “chaotic” and indiscernible.

Comey, attempts to the convey a message to understand the complicated relationship between law enforcements and the public-given that there has been a surge of recent racial profiling.

In his report, Ronson uses rhetorical strategies to sway listeners to believe North’s side of the story.…

    “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” Friedrich Nietzsche encapsulates the paradox of humankind — a desperate desire to save the world coupled with a dangerous susceptibility to becoming the very monster to be slain. Man’s ability to rationalize allows him to rebuff the guilt over his most treacherous decisions, but the guilt remains, pilfering away at his faith in his own morality. Does the atrocity of war justify the atrocities committed?…

In Virginia Woolf’s, “The Death of the Moth ,” Woolf utilizes metaphors, powerful imagery, and tonal shifts to explain the struggle between life and death as a battle, that in the end, is never won. The uses of these rhetorical devices depict the intense power that death has over life. The tonal shifts throughout the piece strengthen the idea of an all powerful death. Woolf’s final words, “death is stronger than I am,” reveals the main idea of her narrative.…

Based on a very significant quote from this article, According to Asen (2010) “Rhetoric thus acts as a powerful but not an unconstrained force in policymaking. Individual participants in policy debates make choices in framing Policies, affirming and denying values, representing target populations, inviting or discouraging wider agency, and other areas, but the participation of other advocates, the judgment of audiences, the social force of discourse, and multiple material considerations constrain these choices.” Looking at and analysis both the quote and the general article in general, Asen is alluding to the idea that public policy can both be a catalyst…

    The term “invention”, reminds me of the old age saying “necessity is the mother of invention” (unknown author). The chapter discusses how “classical invention” was a “rhetoric” that only highly educated, usually “speakers and writers” used to relay information to the public. Since most people of that time were labors and could not read or write, believed these scholars to have all the answers. Referring “to the means of discovering possible arguments, providing ‘speakers and writers with sets of instructions to help them fine proofs appropriate for any rhetorical situation’”…

The Dark Knight is one hour and fifty two minutes. While the average movie is only an hour and thirty.
