Dear Executive Board of Alpha Kappa Psi,

Max Foster has recently contacted me about my discharge in the pledge class of the fall of 2015. I understand the policy for a failed quiz. I am requesting the permission to look at quiz 1 from October 7 chapter meeting.

From my stand point, at least to say, I learned all the the information in both quizzes by heart because it means much more than just a plain text to me. The previous night, I spent hours studying for both quizzes with my fellow pledge brothers who are willing to vouch for me.

I am not emphasizing here that having to complete two quizzes in 10 minutes for a foreigner is difficult, yet I am admitting the personal circumstances responsible for making my handwriting shiver. This causes

    Trust was built, not only for Ron, but also for Denver. Until the situation presented, Ron still questioned the ability to trust Denver, and Denver questioned why he should be trusted, and why Ron would trust a homeless man with his money, truck, and daughter’s possessions. I believe that the situation is one of the most significant lessons of the book. Both men had to rely on faith, in a situation that could have become disastrous quickly. I believe that both, Ron and Denver, learned from the situation, and could trust without fear.…

    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.…

    It is difficult not to disagree with the stupendous amount of reverence that Abraham Lincoln presented in his oration in 1838. I say this because the vigilante justice that he warns the nation against so greatly is enticing, especially when there has been a grave injustice. To put it crudely, Lincoln would not be in favor of there being a Knight Crusader, or also know as Batman. This fictional comic book hero is in direct accordance with Lincoln’s warnings against mob rule and revenge. “The answer is simple.…

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.…

    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.”…

    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.…
