I wouldn’t have organized it any differently she each paragraph was organized in a well much welled manner. This article could be presented in a different manner but I don’t think it would achieve the same result as the way it is written now, because if she was to put her ethos logos

    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.…

    In Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning Christina Haas and Linda Flower target experienced and inexperienced readers with the intention of extending the constructive, rhetorical view of reading to share with others, and therefore helping them to become better writers. By studying the thinking strategies of experienced readers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Center for the Study of Writing using a ‘thinking aloud’ method, Haas and Flower were able to see a correlation between strong reading ability and strong writing ability: rooted in comprehension. By thinking aloud readers were forced to use not only what they understood about the text, but also their own personal knowledge to create their own inferences and hypotheses…

    Hi Rachel, I know what you are talking about. When my son was growing up, I remember his excitement when he saw advertisement on TV and he would ask me to buy him something he just saw. There was a commercial about a man chewing two pieces of gum, and after that he always wanted two pieces rather that one. Likewise, often I get ideas of what to buy for my family after I see advertisement online or on TV. I think its super helpful especially when you don’t have a lot of time to shop.…

As I learned first about rhetoric itself, and then moved onto adding the elements of rhetoric into my own writing, I soon realized there was a complex web of the writing process that would I have to spin for each essay. The task of successfully writing essays based on the rhetorical analysis of well-known pieces of literature included many vital strategies and techniques that I personally had to implement and improve on along the way. Some steps were new, and some were review; but all were necessary for success. Through my comparing and contrasting essay on the speeches of Patrick Henry and Malcolm X Little, the steps I took to build a successful analysis outlined the learning and writing process taken through the elements of rhetoric.…

    To my esteemed English teacher, By writing you this letter, I hope to demonstrate my growth throughout the year and my final mastery of the course’s content. During the revision of the synthesis, I mostly adjusted the shape of the piece; grammar and syntax needed to be fixed in many passages in order to provide a clearer explanation of my ideas. Nevertheless, the rhetorical analysis needed further labor on the content; precisely, the explanation of the author’s use of a certain rhetorical device to achieve his purpose needed to be more detailed. I wrote the both pieces keeping in mind that my audience would be extremely educated upon English language and composition.…

    In an excerpt from a lecture delivered in Boston in 1832, Maria W. Stewart uses many rhetorical strategies such as formal diction, appeal to pathos, and long syntax structures to initiate the “drudgery” labor that affects the society. Throughout the excerpt, Stewart uses extended syntax structure to communicate and educate her audience about the hardship that laborers go through. The use of semicolons allows her to issue the importance of liberty that they have been “crying” for. “Worn out with the toil and fatigue; nature herself becomes almost exhausted”; the semicolons supports her teaching on hard labor and how it can go on and on.…

    In Maria W. Stewart's lecture in Boston in 1832, she conveys her position on the injustices of slavery and the cruelty that slaves experiences through the use of diction, figurative language, and her own personal experience. Altogether, these create a sense of injustice and desparity for the cause of the African Americans and their freedoms and aspirations to be something more than just servile labor. Diction is a major influence in this lecture. With a variety of words, such as "chains", "ragged", "drudgery and toil", "exhausted", "death", and "cruel", Stewart appeals to the feelings of people in an attempt to make them understand the hardships and extreme injustice that encompass the life of a slave. To continue, there is also another set…

    Through the iconic voice of Holden Caulfield, an estranged adolescent, one hears a cry for help emerge from the clouds of depression so effortlessly that nearly everyone, regardless of background, relates. As evident within J. D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, and particularly during chapter 20, Salinger utilizes casual diction, relatable syntax, and a symbolic setting to convey Holden’s great dejection and introspection about death itself. With such a strong rhetorical technique as this, Salinger appeals to the empathy of the audience and creates a nearly universal cult-following for Holden. Although undeservingly idealized, Holden’s struggle to find meaning and happiness in this passage suggests a greater, underlying aspect throughout…
