Canada, the place where everyone says sorry for no reason, the country that people from America choose to associate with when travelling abroad to get better treatment, yet, this very country has a major flaw. Over the pass twenty years the garnered attention from the media and everyday Canadian citizen has resulted in a widespread knowledge of the Indigenous Women that have either gone missing or been murdered or both. Pam Palmater has an interesting approach when discussing the issue, the way her paper is constructed allows the reader to follow it easily and quickly grasp what she is trying to argue. Palmater uses five pages of her paper to discuss different inquiries between 1989 and 2013, and every single one concludes the paragraph along

    when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see the depressing clouds of inferiority begin to form in her little mental sky, and see her distort her little personality by unconsciously developing a bitterness toward white people(265) King is simply putting segregation in the eyes of a child and showing the audience how it’s tearing the younger generation apart by teaching them how to hate those who are different from them. Through this scene the audience feels the complication and shame the father feels for his innocent daughter suffering consequences she has no right to receiving for just being herself.

    My overall goal in life is to wake up every morning and not dread going to work. I want to be able to face a new challenge, help others, and make a difference no matter how big or small. I want to take pride into what I do and not just think of my job as an action to survive. I believe it is difficult to do so in a scene where a good handful of people do not give you the full respect deserved. In the article “Congregation Gone Wild”, G. Jeffrey MacDonald claims that Congregations have shifted their way of approaching their audience in order to “sooth” churchgoers and keep them on their side.…

    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.”…

    Argument surrounds us. It plays “with [our] emotions, changes [our] attitude, talks [us] into a decision, and goads [us] to buy things” (Heinrichs 18). Rhetoric is the argument’s decoder. This section talks about the effectiveness of rhetoric on persuading the audience or adversary to agree with the speaker’s points. It is, as Heinrichs states, an “art of influence, friendship, and eloquence, of ready wit and irrefutable logic.”…

    The topic of my writing piece is about how my mom teaches me how to be a role model and the steps in life that I have to take in order to be one. My audience is my family and my close friends, including classmates and peers. The assumption that the audience is making about me is that I'm shy, I'm antisocial, and I don't want to talk to anyone. My message to the audience is that anyone could be a role model or a leader but it takes hard work and courage. There is more to the story because some moms don't expect their kids to be role models when they grow up.…

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.

    Upon completing all the assignments for Writing 101, I think I have undergone a significant amount of growth as a writer. Throughout the course there were many different assignments that I found to be challenging in their own ways. The design of many projects was much different than anything I had previously encountered, causing much more effort, and thought. Specifically, the rhetorical analysis and the proposal were two projects that took me outside of my comfort zone. Each project encompassed its distinct difficulties that ended up evolving my knowledge about writing.…

    In 2014, Indigenous women groups indicated that 4,000 Indigenous women were missing between 1980 and 2012 (The Canadian Encyclopedia, 2017). Additional reports made in 2009 state that 67,000 indigenous women aged 15 years of age or older had been violently victimized (Monchalin, 2016). Although these numbers are already elevated, they are expected to continue to rise, this is due to the fact that the cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women are due to various problems/factors, all of which are entrenched in colonialism. The roots of these colonialist ideologies date back to the initial arrival of the Europeans and how they treated Indigenous women. Today, colonialism is reiterated through the media portrayal and discussion of Indigenous…

    English composition was never my strong nor favorite because of my knowledge of the grammar and organization in my writing. 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.…
