Rhetorical Analysis Paper 2: Option 1 As most Americans know, the number of school shootings have increased over recent years. In fact, there has been about forty-two school shootings since 1999 and even more since 1982 (Motherjones.com). Although all of them are great travesties, three events have stuck out in American history more than any other: the Columbine shooting, Virginia Tech shooting, and most recently the Sandy Hook shooting. All three of these events called for a presidential…

A cowboy at heart, and a God fearing man describes Ronald Reagan. Even though he went through a lot in his life, Reagan ended up being famous in more than one way. The 40th President of the United States is what he’s well known for. However, being a President was not the only thing he did in his life. In his early twenties, he was a movie actor, staring in at least 14 movies. Later in life, he became the Governor of California. Through this all, he remained a valuable man, and always tried to do…

Using his success from radio, Reagan transitioned into acting. After being offered a contract from Warner Brothers, he quit his job as a sports announcer. An agent he met in Hollywood obtained him a screening which led to the $200-a-week contract offer from the studio. As Degregorio says, “He had by this time decided to use radio as a stepping-stone to an acting career, despite advice from fellow announcer Hugh Hipple that he just did not have what it takes to make it in show business” (639).…

The United State of America was founded, because the colonists wanted to escape tyranny and they wanted religious freedom. The Pilgrims came to America from Europe to have religious freedom before the United States was even established. The United States today is home for so many different religions and people who believe different faiths. An episode, from PBS, called “Of God and Caesar” is the sixth and last episode of a series called “God in America” and it goes into how religion can affect…

Research Paper #2 American politics, a wide array of differing opinions, making the very mention of its name controversial at best, and relationship-ruining at worst. In this day and age, with such a wash of information, it can be difficult to distinguish truth from fiction in regards to each parties’ views and points of interest. Each has stances that are intrinsic to them, and all of them have their flaws. This paper will discuss the most prominent of the parties, their candidates, and the…

In 2001, the United States of America witnessed its largest tragedy to date. America had been sucker-punched in the back of the head that fateful September 11th morning by an Islamic extremist group known as al-Qaeda. The attacks involved nineteen men who highjacked a series of commercial airplanes and crashed them into the World Trade Center, the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, and a field in Pennsylvania. New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania…

Some of our deepest secrets correlate with our wrongest doings. We hide the truth with the hope of either keeping ourselves from trouble or protecting someone from the truth. We make these decisions out of spite or personal pleasure not considering its long term effects. We believe that the truth won 't come out and we will succeed in getting away with it. It is not usually the fact that we lied that makes us upset but the fact that we got caught. Secrets are not exclusive to a certain age or…

There were several things that grabbed my attention immediately in the interview with Lee Fang. Most notably the fact that a foreign entity, in this case a Chinese family from Singapore I believe, was able to legally give over a million dollars to the Bush campaign. To me, the most striking thing about this is it confirms an old asinine conspiracy theory from the cold war that foreign powers were playing "King Makers." No one can argue that this wasn 't a foreign family directly influencing an…
