“Werner is listening to the repaired transceiver, feathering the turning knob back and forth, when a girl’s voice says directly into his good ear: At three in the morning I was awakened by a violent blow. He thinks: It’s hunger, the fever, I’m imagining things, my mind is forcing the static to coalesce…” (390) Werner Pfennig, crouching with his headphones, is trying to find German frequencies in order to ask for rescue from the new collapsed Hotel of Bees where they are currently trapped. One of the crew tasked with finding Marie-Laure and Etienne’s “terrorist transmissions named Bernd was hit by a shell six hours prior. Then, he hears Marie-Laure, reading from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, a beacon of hope that he pushes aside, thinking…
The main method of persuasion in the paragraph is the pathos appeal. The author of the blurb is specifically targeting the audience’s heart, making us feel sad and responsible for pediatric cancer. These feelings of sorrow and responsibility will lead the audience to nominating Bear Necessities as the Charity Drive charity in order to make themselves feel better because they improved the situation. The author also was very knowledgeable regarding the audience’s constraints; he/she knew that high school students are very accessible, and have the power to make large changes due to massive numbers. Furthermore, the author knew that the audience (high school students) was going to easily be persuaded because high school students are also kids and…

Non, I don’t think that Maria should change her speech. Once she changes her speech, she will become unethical speaker. According to Beebe & Beebe (2015), “If you adapt to your audience by abandoning your own values and sense of truth, then you will become unethical speaker rather than an audience centered one” (p.84). before Maria even go out to speak, it is very important to do more research about the topic. Many audience may already know the truth about the subject.…

Many films throughout history, have not only illuminated some culture’s shortcomings but the strength and ability to deviance in hopes of attaining meritocracy. It is within the arts, films, music and literature that are produced by a culture that researchers can identify the evolution of change from analyzing the micro symbolic interactionism between individuals to the social consensus in the functionalist theory that produces an organic solidarity. Each of these theoretical paradigms allow one the ability to change perspectives in order to deduce how values and norms are modified. Although each theoretical theory can be applied to the film, “The Blind Side” it is while utilizing the macro conflict theory, that social inequality is seen to…
Donald Trump’s campaign is denying any similarities between Melania Trump’s speech during the Republican convention and Michelle Obama’s speech during the Democratic convention is 2008, and instead blaming it on Hillary Clinton. Campaign manager Paul Manafort not only denied the accusations (he called them “crazy” on CNN Tuesday morning) but he suggested that the reaction was because Hillary Clinton felt “threatened.” “There’s no cribbing of Michelle Obama's speech. These were common words and values that she cares about her family and things like that,” Manafort said. “I mean, she was speaking in front of 35 million people last night, she knew that.…

Visual Neglect Patients: Methods in Exploring Perceptual Deficits This essay holds the purpose of critically analysing the methods used in regards to visceral inabilities in visual neglect patients. Visual neglect is a failure to attend or respond to a specific side of meaningful stimulus typically following a lesion on the brain. It goes by the names unilateral neglect, hemi-inattention (Robertson & Halligan, 2014), hemispatial neglect (Luukkainen-Markkula, Tarkka, Pitkanen, Sivenius, & Hamalainen, 2009), visuo-spatial neglect (Luaute, Halligan, Rode, Rossetti, & Boisson, 2006), hemiagnosia, and many more. Various methods have been designed to reduce and treat this disability such as copy drawing tasks, line cancellation task, visual scanning training (VST), arm activation, reading task, visual reality training (VRT), sustained attention training (SAT), and bilateral stimulation. However, this essay will only discuss on the VST and VRT.…
The task in this lab was to go to the website (invisiblegorilla) and look at a video. This video was an example of inattentional blindness (and selective attention). In the video, we were asked to count how many times the basketball was thrown between a group of people wearing white T-shirts. While that was going on a gorilla walks into the frame, right in the middle of the screen. Many would think that the majority of people would notice the gorilla, and many would probably think that they themselves would notice that, however, many people fail to see the gorilla because of a term called inattentional blindness.…
Her word choice was carefully picked, precise and clean. Her tone was a calm yet persistent one where one could see how subtle but also determined she was on her work. She would pause just enough to make a clean speech, she didn’t hurry off or seemed nervous in any way which only interested the audience into paying attention to her. However, one may think that she would have an even more effective speech if she would of played with her voice a little more or do some sort of hand gestures. If she would have changed her voice into a stronger one she maybe could have expressed some strong feeling that wasn’t empathy or remorse.…
