On 1-12-2016 at about 1715 hrs I was dispatched to a theft report, which occurred at the Seasons on Lea Hill 12722 SE 312TH ST, Auburn/King/Wa. Upon arrival I contacted the victim, Armando Chavez at his apartment 6A. Armando stated that several days ago, no precise date, he went to his bank to deposit money into his account. Armando stated he banked at Alaska USA. Armando was advised by a teller that he had a negative money in his account and it looked as if someone had attempted to deposit money from his account.…

This is why this book’s use in high schools today should be continued. Before reading this book, many students would have had no idea what rhetoric even was. By teaching students about rhetoric and logical arguments, it supports less volatile discussions and puts more emphasis on making decisions based on concrete evidence and not logical fallacies. The other reason its use should be continued is because of its contributions to showing history in a new way. By citing many examples from historical rhetoric legends such as Aristotle and Cicero it shows us how studying people from the past is necessary.…
In developing her own fears of Trujillo through Maria Teresa, Alvarez discretely coaxes readers to feel the same way she does with simple devices like rhetorical questions, repetition, and personification. Rhetorical questions subtly influence audiences by simply getting them to think, while repetition promotes clarity and encourages the acceptance of an idea by firmly establishing said idea in the minds of the audience. In addition to using personification to give more life to the text, Julia Alvarez uses it alongside references to sound (police sirens) to appeal to readers’ senses to trigger their emotions, once again rendering readers vulnerable and more receptive to logic. In addition, by mentioning God to indicate the sort of qualities…

Consequently, the reader must pay more attention to style, design, and source. Here, Anzaldúa gives a retrospective account of her experiences with her native Hispanic language in American culture. The writing is told in the first person point of view and is based solely on her own observations, characteristic of a memoir. A similar analysis as this should be given to all works regardless of what may be implied. Although it cannot be mistaken that King’s, Letter from Birmingham Jail, is a letter, or Collin’s, Commencement Address at Choate-Rosemary Hall, is a speech, the concept of genre is much more complex as it is also dependent on audience and rhetorical…
Writers often use rhetoric to convey their ideas and to engage the reader with their subject. Rachel Toor’s essay “ Which of These Essay Questions is the Real Thing?”, and Alexander J. G. Schneider’s “What I really Wanted to Write in My Admissions Essays”, both compare and contrast as they appeal to pathos and logos to express how the college application process is flawed. Toor’s and Schneider's use of tone conveys this message. Each writer appeals to ethos and allows the reader to relate to the author as the intended audience will also be writing college application essays.…

Title Enrolling the EOF program has lighten up a path in life that would have gone completely undiscovered had I walked alone. Along the path was my introduction to college writing, a class that has improved my writing skills profoundly.

After an introduction on how to analyze an authors work we were assigned our own Rhetorical analysis paper. For this assignment we picked an optioned article and had to analyze it’s rhetoric appeal.…

I was always told that an essay is developed around a thesis statement and resources that support my opinions about a prompt. I realized that there was more to an essay when I came across scholarly writing, which is writing on a higher level, usually one which we come across during college. It meets high standards of communication with outlines, tone, deductive reasoning, format, and way of analytical approach. It has a consistent way of delivering thoughts, shaping arguments, and narrowing down the subject to explain the main idea. With scholarly writing, students must express their thoughts through thesis statements, and develop an argument with their own thinking, not minding to be objective to clear any chance of bias.…
