    To demonstrate, critic David Vanderwerken acknowledges that the most powerful of these inversions is the reversal of the relationship between father and son. According to Vanderwerken, the father will help the son make the transition from “dependence to independence” but in Night the “...roles are completely reversed; the son becomes the parent” (Vanderwerken 64). This transposal becomes extremely apparent upon Wiesel and his father’s arrival at Buchenwald. It is there that his father, already frail, completely breaks down; he speaks feverishly of things that never happened and relies more and more heavily on his son as a provider. An example of this would be when Wiesel discovers his father in his bed, crying that his neighbors were beating…

    Initial Draft In the initial rhetorical analysis draft of Scott Jaschik’s “Winning Hearts and Minds in War on Plagiarism,” I noticed that there are some mistakes in specifying the audience, integrating sources, making a deep analysis, and organizing the structure of the paper. The writer of the draft could have made more analysis than summary, which is explaining the effectiveness of Jaschik’s use of the referred rhetorical choices. To give an example of illustrations as rhetorical choice, the writer mentions the episode in Jaschik's text where the instructor assigns her students an assignment to purposely plagiarize. However, he does not explain how successful these rhetorical choice were in persuading the audience.…

Historians can use this excerpt to better understand what it meant to be a slave during this viewpoint.…

    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.

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.”…
