He offers claims of a possible solution by using enthymematic argument and the evidence oriented argument in the attempts to win over his audience. Cheney expects audience familiarity with the complicated…

As two planes ran into the World Trade Center in New York City, one jet flew into the Pentagon as the fourth plane was headed towards Washington D.C.

This is the same Dick Cheney who appeared on "Larry King Live" and attempted to repudiate…

level of corporate connection that Vice President Dick Cheney held (Draffan 2013, 18). Cheney maintained the CEO position at Halliburton, an oilfield services company, from 1995 to 2000. There was virtually no gap between Cheney’s tenure, which meant that, “…Cheney had a direct financial interest in the value of Halliburton’s stock and financial profitability during the first two years of his vice presidency” (Michalowski 2006, 22).

The lack of any complete resolution for Iraq and its people has left many citizens of the United States,…

Harlan Coben’s OpEd piece “The Undercover Parent” is a powerful piece written to convince parents that the benefits of spyware greatly outweigh the invasion of privacy. Throughout his essay, he maintains a friendly, parent-to-parent tone that one can compare to a conversation over coffee. As a college student without children, I found it difficult to understand the importance of monitoring children’s internet activities. However, when I forced myself to take on the perspective of a parent, I…
