Peter Carpenter’s editorial “Dorney Park is Right to Ban Tattoos” was published on the website of a local Pennsylvania newspaper in 2012. Written as a response to a refusal to hire a young woman due to her tattoos, this event only serves as the author’s way of expressing his negative views of the tattoos themselves, as well as of the people who have them. Carpenter states that tattoos are not art. The author goes so far as to say that individuals who get tattoos predominantly belong to criminal groups and that they pose a threat to children. Although the author seems to present logical arguments, when looked at more closely, these arguments do not hold up to the logical scrutiny.…
The title of the novel is constantly repeated throughout the novel. Although it is not the complete title Bless Me Ultima, the words bless me are used a number of times throughout the story of Antonio’s life. In one of Antonio’s dreams, the phrase is first spoken by a man. The man said to the others in the room, “Perhaps God will bless our family and make the baby a priest” (5). Although antonio was not able to recognize who the people in his dream, he knew that the young boy who was born that day was to become a priest, he knew it was him.…
Rhetorical Analysis Rhetorical analysis can show how effective the text is and what elements the author used to show his/her credibility and engage the audience’s emotions and make them decide logically. We want to apply rhetorical analysis to two speeches, “wrath of Grapes Boycott Speech” by Cesar Chavez and “Speech at the Kyoto Climate Change Conference” by Al Gore. In this process we are investigating ethos, pathos and logos in these two speeches, so we compare them. In “Speech at the Kyoto Climate Change Conference”, Al Gore argues that world leaders need to set emissions limits to provide healthy planet and bring peace to nation. In “Wrath of Grapes Boycott Speech”, Chavez argues that people have to boycott grapes to support farmers and prevent the use of dangerous pesticides.…
The word tattoo itself means 'to mark something'. Unfortunately, Martin does not explain the history of tattoos in his article. Instead, Martin takes the approach as to explain his thought-out reasoning’s on why adolescents get body decorations in today's day and age. Martin stays unbiased in his argument he states understandable facts supporting the teenager’s decisions, but also states how he believes that they are cries for attention. He also relies on the help of pathos and ethos, he also attempts to use logos but his logical references are not based on statistics, instead, they are based on observed evidence.…
Tattoos and Piercings Bias Tattoos and piercings have become more and more popular fashion statements as artists continue to create new ideas, as well as the acceptance of the ink and jewelry. Although it may seem that there is an approval towards this style, many are put into stereotypical categories based on their appearance. Regardless of who the person truly is, the bias associated with tattoos and piercings often leads him/her to be percieved as less intelligent, fraudulent, and less spiritual.…
LA Ink, INK MASTER, and Inked, all have something in common; they all use celebrities to lure their audience’s attention and, in this case, to get their audience to see the practice of tattooing, and tattoos as a good and common thing. The media glorifies tattoos and the practice of tattooing by airing…
Rhetorical Speech Reflection Rhetorical techniques within my speech were subtle yet still managed to enhance the message I was trying to convey; that all firearms should be banned in the United States. I used a combination of rhetorical techniques including; anaphora, hypophora, a mild chiasmus, alliteration, and sententia. Halfway through my speech, I used anaphora when I was describing the different reasons people have for owning guns. This particular method was helpful because I wanted to portray the reasons as ridiculous and repetitive, which paired well with anaphora, since it added to the redundancy with its own repeating sentence beginnings.…
Both of the articles are Social Science articles written on the topic of college students and tattoos. One article, “Inking and Thinking: Honors Students and Tattoos” is a Sociology piece because it focuses on the two large groups who have tattoos: honor students and non-honor students. The other article, “To Ink or Not to Ink: The Meaning of Tattoos Among College Students” places an emphasis on the reasoning behind why students have tattoos or why they do not. Because this article discusses both groups of people-those with and without tattoos as well as the purposes behind tattoos, it is a psychology…
Tattoos and why they should not be considered deviant Humans have marked their bodies with tattoos for thousands of years. These permanent designs, sometimes plain, sometimes elaborate, always personal markings have served as amulets, status symbols, declarations of love, signs of religious beliefs, adornments and even forms of punishment. Prior to my research I had no idea where the tattoo even originated from? Which is ironic because neither does anyone else. The history of the tattoos are very hard to trace.…

He utilizes specific word choice to support his ideas, express the surroundings, and tone around the character he is writing about.…
In Barrie Gross’ article “Tattoos in the Workplace: What’s an Employer to Do?” he explains how times have changed and people should not be judged for what they have done with their bodies. I agree with Gross’ opinion because tattoos are art to some people. Gross’ view on tattoos are much like my own. People with tattoos work in all levels of each work place.…
