Poetry allows authors to express the hardships that may have taken place within their lives with the use of literary devices. For example, in the poems “Still I Rise”…

If I could be anyone one in the world, I would be Dean Winchester. He is resilient and never ever fails his family. He saves thousands of people a week. He fights monsters, ghosts, and demons. He once fought the devil himself. He has been to hell and back literally, and he still manages to take care of his younger brother, (who is actually only four years younger than him, but still treats him like a child.) He is the most trustworthy and kind man I know (that’s fictional). He fights his and…

Many people write a persuasive letter of extreme importance at least once in their lives, but, I would hope, for less grave of a matter than that of Roger Frethorne in his “A letter to Father and Mother”. As an indentured servant in colonial America, on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean from his English family, Roger uses rhetorical devices to express his plea to be saved from his servitude by his parents. Roger petitions the humanity of his parents through the use of the rhetorical appeal…

In Elie Wiesel, The Perils of Indifference he used pathos, ethos, and logos to express how he felt and to give the audience a sense of what he has been through. The way he used pathos, ethos, and logos in his speech was great and I’m going to give you my opinion on what I thought anout the way he used them. Wiesel opened up his speech by giving the audience glimpse of what he has lived. He said he was from Buchenwald, a place of eternal infamy. Wiesel gave a good mind image of where he was…

After living his life in a society that ingrained in him a sense of guilt for simply being alive and the belief that the exculpation for having life was serving his brothers, Prometheus makes a discovery…

In the way that harsh racial slurs are flung from mouths of ignorant anger to the way the last meal is granted to a prisoner on death row. These cruelties are unique in their own way, but each of them stemmed from a kindness. The ignorance granted with the anger, and the picking of their own food are kindnesses that lead to a cruel event. Cruelty comes and flourishes in kindness, while kindness can create and feed…
