    Letter To Birmingham Rhetorical Analysis

    Martin Luther King Jr. uses many rhetorical strategies in his letter to Birmingham. While reading the letter I noticed he enjoys to show his knowledge of historical features and names mentioned in the Bible. King starts off the letter (paragraph 2) with who he is and why he is in Birmingham. He then gives the comment that he is apart of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, showing he is a christian and later on finding out he is a minister.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Speech By Florence Kelley

    Florence Kelley, a social worker and activist, found an unusual audience for her speech on child labor reforms. After all, the primary goal of the National American Woman Suffrage Association was to extend the right to vote to American women, not to reform factories. Yet, Kelley effectively persuaded the convention that both males and females should politically participate to the fullest extent of their ability to free the children from harsh factory work. Kelley appealed to her audience both logically and emotionally, using not only mathematical census data, but heart-wrenching imagery. She also made the issue of child labor relevant to an audience primarily concerned with women’s suffrage by relating her topic to issues the convention actively supported.…

    Rhetoric In Practice Project

    The rhetoric in practice project is the second major assignment within the class in which we have to create a work of our own choice and convey some sort of message about Carpe-diem. This project was created in order for us to display our understanding of rhetoric and carpe-diem along with our ability to put them to practice. This project was the first that had me really focus on our course theme of Carpe-diem. Throughout the course we covered many different works that conveyed their own interpretation of Carpe-diem. However there are a few similarities that they all share; that being their negative view of time/future, the lack of faith in a deity or fate, and that the ultimate goal in life is pleasure.…

    Example Of A Rhetorical Ecology

    My rhetorical ecology’s primary goal is to articulate the many levels of statistical data surrounding gun control in the US. I start off the presentation with the Bill of Rights and immediately provide commentary from individuals who played a fundamental role in the foundation of the United States. Then, I state current gun control laws currently in place. From here on out, I expand on specific analytics: mass shootings, other deadlier killers, and total firearm violence. The audience this argument appeals to is people who react to gun control regulations after mass shootings occur.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Examples

    Analysis of Rhetorical Project For this assignment, I decided to work off a subject that truly “strums” a string in my heart, which is racism, particularly the “Stop and Frisk” law which has arised in New York. This unfair law has been in my subconscious, as it strikes me as both illogical, and quite offensive to minorities. While the law aims to create “safety”, as well as eliminate criminal activity, it truly offends those who are suspected of crime, especially when a large sum of those people randomly happen to be POC. And, according to NYPD’s reports, 9 out of 10 of the chosen suspects are innocent. These people are pulled simply because they have a certain “look”, and I find it to be not only offensive, but…
