DEBORAH
Like hell you do, Charles! Did your father tell you, he never fired a gun in Korea? He gave the army a pathetic excuse that he had a bad back. Don’t be a coward like him…instead be everything that he is not…someone capable of great feats of bravery. What’s more, it’s your Christian duty to destroy those atheistic communists.

EDWARD

You have archaic attitudes, which are incompatible with the generation to which I belong. Everything new and radical, according to you, mother, is degenerate. You can’t stop the world from evolving…nothing remains in a constant state…without change humankind becomes stale and lifeless. Ah, dad knows what I’m talking about. There is hope for him…unfortunately for you, mother, society will leave you behind

    The concerns of an eight year old are as drastically different from those of an eighteen year old as are the worries of a twenty eight year old are from those of a thirty eight year old; when imagining a person ten years superior to oneself, they often seem detached and un-relatable. In the words of every petulant child to their parent, “you just don’t get it.” When it boils down to it, are the generations really that different? One woman raised conservatively in the 1950s saw unbelievable progress is technology and societal norms, she also lived in fear of nuclear war and saw the president’s death; now she believes our world needs better representation and more honesty in our politicians and legislature. Living in a conservative family in…

    There has always been a conflict as to how a new generation should be raised, with either tools from the present or stories from the past. The balance is hard to find, in trying to pursue one the other may be lost, nevertheless parents keep trying to achieve equilibrium. In a world full of change, new technology and advancements, there is little room or space to try to be raised the way your parents were.

    General MacArthur: A Bid For the Bomb In his speech “Farewell Address to Congress,” Douglas MacArthur, a venerated general who commanded the United Nations forces during the Korean War before he was released by President Truman on the charge of treason, argues that the use of any means necessary to stop the threat of Communism from spreading, including the use of atomic weapons on Communist China, is imperative to effectively and immediately end the war in Korea. MacArthur asserts his position in order to persuade Congress to follow his views. He uses powerful diction to praise nations who have evaded the enemy of Communism and to condemn war, similes to firmly rebuke appeasement, and the recognition of his opposition, thus creating pathetic, logical, and ethical appeals to successfully convey his purpose.…

    Learning a Lesson the Hard Way With the turn of the twenty-first century came a new form of parenting called “helicopter parenting”, this is when a parent takes an overprotective or excessive interest in the life of their child. People call these children “millennials”. Many older Americans deem millennials as selfish and entitled. However, in Nick Gillespie’s essay, “Millennials Are Selfish and Entitled, and Helicopter Parents Are to Blame”, he argues that we cannot blame the millennials themselves for being “selfish” or “entitled” but we must blame the parents for their “ridiculous level of kid-coddling”. In his essay, Gillespie uses the logos techniques of giving statistics and inductive reasoning, as well as the pathos technique of evocative language to convince his audience of older Americans, and American parents, that it is their overbearing parenting style that is giving millennials a sense of entitlement.…

    In “Millennials: The Me Me Me Generation”, Joel Stein conveys that differences perceived in millennials are more due to adaptations in a new environment than a revolutionary break in human evolution. He skillfully supports this argument by having a well organized article and utilizing ethos, pathos, and logos, effectively making readers believe in Stein’s claim. Stein’s purpose is to convince older generations that millennials are essentially the same as them, but seem different due to their different environment, in order to make them reflect on millennials. Clearly, Stein’s article is significant and effective as it utilizes various rhetorical devices to enlighten others that although millennials seem different on the outside, they are essentially the same on the inside.…
