I looked around, checking the scene. Around me were many pale faces with baggy eyes and droopy lids. Ruth Fordman and I were the only people of color in the room. “Oh lord, here we go” I thought to myself. I could feel the heavy weight of my heart beating faster against my chest as I was filled with the…
The Adelburgers were a closely guarded secret the high ranking members who made up RGA high command. What was even more peculiar about this unofficial policy of denying the existence of the Adelburgers and their FVL allies was Walther Schäffer’s second-in-command: the brilliant, yet shady Gerhard Voss.

In Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, Ellison uses description of decorations such as mirrors, portraits and signs to reflect and foreshadow Invisible Man’s struggle in defining himself, especially during the stages of perception and rebirth. Dubois’s philosophy of double consciousness suggests “a sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of other” and a feeling of “twoness.” At first, IM is forced to accept an identity and live a designated life when Mr. Norton claims that IM is his…
The following question will look at where I believe rhetoric should go from this point and do so by using identity approaches in rhetoric as well as discuss how rhetoric can be used to analyze other forms of media that the course didn’t dive to deep into, such as poetry, the invention of identity of animals on social media, how social media can shape new musical and or social identities.

Joth dismounted and then help Rinka down from her horse. Littering the area at edge of the forest were the large thatch wood barricades.
