equipment. She pursued the issue working to get new gear into the firefighter’s hands and ensure the safety of firefighters was made a top priority (Davila, 2005). Through this interaction, Sculley worked to ensure the city, the firefighters, and city council that she wasn’t afraid to shake things up and stand up for the city. From the beginning of her role as city manager Sculley’s determination to shake things up was met with both admiration and resentment. She rearranged the finance…
crusade was based on varying opinions on religious ideas, with the take back of Jerusalem, and the ignorance of other religions, including the varying opinions of each others gods. The religious leader of the Franks, Pope Urban, gave a speech at the Council of Clermot, declaring the need for a crusade against the muslims. Pope Urban’s speech largely displays the intolerance of other religions from the Christians.. Pope Urban stated “a race utterly alienated from god...has invaded the land of…
Pope Urban II’s Speech at Council of Clermont With the purpose of spreading the territory of the Catholic Faith (Christianity) and the control of the Holy Sea in the East, Pope Saint Gregory VII had by now urged the devoted Christians to take up weapons toward the Muslims, the Pope himself pledging to guide them to Asia. In his letters, St. Gregory VII conversed on exactly how the grief of the Crusaders in the East had affected him to the place that he anticipated fatality. He believed that he…

“The Crusades - the most signal and most durable monument of human folly that has yet appeared in any age or nation.” (David Hume) Typically, historians question the events of history, how they happened, when they happened, or even if they happened. In the case of the Holy Crusades, however, the events, and how they occurred are not the source of contention amongst historians.

I opted to conduct my rhetorical analysis and evaluation on the Emergency Preparedness poster from the Ad Council. The print ad or poster in question shows a town that a tornado has ripped through, with markers showing where members of a hypothetical family are located.
