An Unseen Enemy

Appeal of Emotion The appeal of emotion, otherwise known as pathos, is used to connect with the audience in a more emotional level and is used to capitalize on specific events that the author is trying to speak about. Pathos can be used on any emotion, and is often used to make things relatable with the audience so they feel a certain pull towards the subject being talked about. Although pathos is powerful and important when it comes to rhetoric, it can be misused, which is suggested by Kendra…

In the story of the antagonizing red-bearded Russian soldier, Kreisler writes about the comrardry and familiarity the Russian and Austrian forces developed with one another during what should have been a battle between enemy trenches. Kreisler writes, “It is astonishing how little actual hatred exists between fighting men. One fights fiercely and passionately, mass against mass, but as soon as the mass crystallizes itself into human individuals whose features one actually…

Germany. Largely supported by the left, The Weimar Republic reigned, although the right wanted this to end along with socialism and communism. Additionally, the Treaty of Versailles was passed in attempt to resolve conflict, although Germany succumb to unseen consequences in the form of unemployment and a power vacuum. Many German citizens chose to move from the center to conservative and nationalist parties, for it was clear the current government set up was not suitable. With the rise of the…

In a scene from “Saving Private Ryan”, a film directed by Steven Spielberg, Captain John Miller and other GIs approach Omaha beach in a landing craft. The scene begins with the soldiers all tightly cramped in the landing craft awaiting the landing on the beach. There is then a close-up of Captain Miller’s hand shaking and the camera then pans up towards his face and then slowly moves backwards to show the faces of the other soldiers in the landing craft. It shows some men throwing up and then…

about racism the circumstances with some ridiculous virtue. A visible and blatantly declared enemy is so much more directly challenging than one that operates secretly. And that is the predicament of racism in our times. We have notions, suggestions, indications, if you will of racial bias all around us today. But it is commonly unspoken, if not altogether unseen, much of the time. And where it isn’t unseen there is often a reasonable cover story that can be said as to why racially distinction…

but unworkable in a time where no party other commanded such a mass movement. Rallying voters from other nationalist parties, the Nazis in 1930 took half of the DNVP’s seats and a third of the DVP’s. It signified unity and support behind a cause – unseen since the beginning of the Great War. No longer were nationalists vying for the implausible return of a Kaiser, but joining behind Hitler.Furthermore Nazi support far exceeded that of the parties on the fragmented Left. Whilst in 1930 the SPD…

journey. An essential skill that Bilbo Baggins possessed was stealth: the ability to walk silently, as well as invisibility. Stealth was necessary for Bilbo’s journey, because he was recruited into the Company as a burglar, someone who had to move unseen and unheard. Bilbo’s ability to walk silently was a skill all hobbits possessed: “…at any rate hobbits can move quietly in the woods, absolutely quietly...” (Tolkien 41). This skill came in use when he was sent to spy on the trolls’ campfire…

Carson uses many elements from the Rhetorical triangle in Silent Spring, most from the logical and ethical appeals. The arguments Carson gave in Silent Spring were all about the use of synthetic chemicals. She presented that humans are a part of nature and are not meant to control it. Secondly, scientists do not know the long term effects these chemicals can have on the environment. Lastly, she wants to find better ways to control pests without the use of environmentally harmful chemicals. The…

engaged in the most deadliest and effecting war known to history- World War II. Throughout this time period, more lives had been lost on and off the battlefield than any other war. In the beginning, the United States had hoped to be like a ghost, unseen as a part of the war and it was not until tragic struck the people of America until Roosevelt chose to join in. On December 7, 1941 -the attack on Pearl Harbor forced America to partake in the war. After this attack, over 100,000 lives would be…

so baseless assumptions were made. Both eras displayed quite clearly the fact that the ‘American Everyman’ was a myth. If there was such political and social conformity, no American, let alone dozens of Americans, would willingly cooperate with an enemy. The point remains that if one is to be American, then one only needs to pay taxes as all others do. No requirement is made as to race, religion, political affiliations, or any other discriminatory facets, for humans are…
