are the “enemy” of Coulter’s political standing, it gives her no right to turn the case into a conspiracy of the left protecting rapists. Once she added this statement, she essentially loses all her credibility as a writer, and it would make her argument and stance meaningless. Harkening back to her disregard of DNA matching, she has the audacity to exclaim that “Hallmark should have a greeting card: ‘Guess whose semen wasn't found anywhere on the rape victim?’ (Open card) ‘I'm so proud of you,…

Prentiss (2005) utilizes rhetorical devices to influence her readers, she provides statements that give a negative spin towards Hayden’s work at the Keatley Creek site (Gibbon 2014). Prentiss (2005:178) uses dyshemisms as she critiques Hayden’s argument regarding climate change. She mentions that Hayden merely used a single pollen study and this is problematic since pollen is a poor indicator of short-term variations in climate and even worse when using only one pollen data set (Prentiss…

One logical fallacy that I found in his writing is Red Herring where the author use a diversionary tactic that avoids the key issues, by avoiding opposing arguments rather than addressing them. For example “The unknown evil, in this case, will not turn out to be a stuntman in a rubber suit. In this one way, we can all agree: those who mean to do us harm are real and they are among us. Now the present of the…

he could have saved time, by not having to figure out what the password was. Sherlock in response again flouts the Maxim of Relation by giving no attention to John's implicitly stated anger and warning not to use his computer. He rather rebuts the argument given by John, that his behavior was unreasonable, by simply stating that it took him a short amount of time to guess the password. With John asking Sherlock whether he guessed the password he flouts the Maxim of Manner for a third time in the…

should seize the readers’ attention, state the thesis, and (optionally) preview the essay arguments. To start, D. Morton offers to use questions, quotes, anecdotes, staggering facts or statistic, some hypothetical situations, or a combination of the above as attention…

consciousness. Arguments have been provided to justify each person, Person A and Person B, as being Jack. Firstly, to evaluate these arguments, crucial terms need to be clarified. I will frequently use the term personal identity, a theory pioneered by philosopher John Locke in his book An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, to mean identity or the person’s self i.e. who they are fundamentally. Thus, when I am referring to Jack, I am referring to his personal identity. The argument in…

Boards main argument is that the flag symbolizes hate and that Governor Nikki Haley was right to force down the flag. The board strategically uses the tragedy of the “Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church” to effectively portray Governor Haley as a hero. This editorial is chocked-full of ethical reasons as to why we should not…

“Just copy what I say and you’ll win,” my coach said to me. This was a common catchphrase she would tell my partner and me at our speech and debate practices. No matter how much we would tell her that she is wrong, she would sternly reply to just follow what she said. When I started to stop copying what she said I learned to start thinking for myself and saying what I believe. This past summer I qualified to attend the national speech tournament by competing in a local district…

by Mack D. Mariani and Gordon J. Hewitt discusses the article “Indoctrination U.” by David Horowitz and proceed to display their own findings of political indoctrination in universities. Mariani and Hewitt use very effective means to portray their argument and manage to do so in a seemingly unbiased way. The authors argue that little evidence shows faculty ideology affecting students and is presented in the way of high amounts of logos and ethos, in the absence of pathos. The levels of ethos,…

realize what motivates them. However, Gladwell constructs this logical argument as well. Throughout the text, Gladwell argues that practice is what makes an individual excel in a certain activity or task. An argument I completely agree with, because in order to excel in an activity one must minimize distractions and devote their time strengthening their skills. In fact, one of the most intriguing aspects of Gladwell's argument is how through the surplus amount of research done it all comes done…
