    Matthew Crawford delivers a true gift with his writing of The Jig, the Nudge, and Local Ecology in the rarity that his messages are actually applicable to what one might call “the real world” or life outside of academia. All messages aside, this piece is meticulously crafted to get through to his audience, no matter who that may be. Crawford reminds us that the classical appeals and subtle style changes in writing can still make a much larger impact than elegant word choice and gets straight to his points. They are well crafted with a true rhetorical value, and all become memorable through his utilization of often unnoticed and rather advanced rhetorical techniques. With a tone coming off as that of an uncle or godfather looking out for…

    A name and a similar beginning are all the two Wes Moores have analogously. One becomes a notorious scholar and military figure, while the other spends his life in prison on the charge of first-degree felony murder. They take two different paths; one Wes took the life of crime and corruption; while the other chose the life education and sophistication. Had it not been for cultural and social awareness, becoming a father at such a young age, expectations set, and religion; Wes would have turned out differently and chosen an opposing path for himself. As the reader finishes the book they see the impact these differences have on both the author and Wes Moore.…

    Daniel J. Flynn’s argument of why “Football Does a Body Good” is extremely unconvincing. The evidence that he presents throughout the essay fails to debunk the counterargument of how dangerous football can be. The essay is full of statistics and examples of how football can positively benefit the readers- unfortunately all the facts that are shown are ineffective. He unsuccessfully argues toward the benefit of football by failing to present appeals to reason, having a lack in his credibility, and having a biased and argumentative tone for the duration of his essay. Aristotle’s three proofs are logos, ethos, and pathos.…

Naturally, I have been expected to try my best throughout grade school and after go to college to continue my education. If I had not grown up in a home where my parents ask where I am and who I am with and make sure I am okay, things might have turned out differently for me. “I [have] realized how difficult it is to separate the two. The expectations that others place on us help us form our expectations of ourselves” (pg 126).…

    The selected reading material I chose was, “Some Lessons From the Assembly Line”. By Andrew Braaksma (2005). The writer’s point is that education is important and the alternative has harsh conditions with little reward. The author shares his experience working long shifts for small wages and how he considers himself fortunate to be able to receive an education. I think the writer wants the audience to see the value of hard work and also realize how helpful an education really is when it comes to jobs and incomes.…

    The definition of value differs by circumstances, feelings, or experiences. Perhaps someone thinks that community is valuable, and perhaps another suggests that family is valuable because people’s preference can characterize in various ways. Although Malcolm Gladwell’s “Marita’s Bargain” depicts that Marita focuses on education rather than her life, “A Walk to the Jetty” by Jamaica Kincaid illustrates that Annie’s family and her own memories are essential to her. In spite of the differences, both stories portray the scenes that main characters sacrifice each of their own willingness. Thus, based on the two stories, individual’s value decides whether they are required to make sacrifices in order to achieve success.…
