I believe Jon Ronson effectively uses rhetorical strategies in his interview, however, there are flaws as well. In the podcast, “The Spokesperson”, a London reporter, Jon Ronson, uses rhetorical strategies to report a story told by Rachel North. North was a victim of a train bombing that happened in London in 2005. She decided to share what became a controversial story on her blog page about her experiences on the train that day. In his report, Ronson uses rhetorical strategies to sway listeners…
prepare yourself. Men, stop this fight. Tybalt, Mercutio, the Prince has banned fighting in the streets of New York. Stop, now! (MERCUTIO and TYBALT’S equal power cause for a very close and tense fight. They use their abilities to counter each other’s attack. Energy field opposing the flames.) (ROMEO tries to break up the fight. MERCUTIO stops attacking to not injure ROMEO. TYBALT pushes him away and blasts an unarmed MERCUTIO) Petruchio: Let’s go, Tybalt. TYBALT, PETRUCHIO and the CAPULETS…
People need to realize that the attacks had nothing to do with religion or where they are from, but that they weren’t good people and it shouldn’t be associated with their religion. Muslims or “non-Americans” have been marginalized which means, that they have been socially excluded (5 Faces…
Tojo had troops simulate their attack on Pearl Harbor a month before the attack, to better prepare for all the destruction they hoped for. The United Stated demanded Japan to leave China, which Japan rejected and set sail for the attack. On December 4th 1941 a radio broadcaster said the words “East Wind Rain” which meant the attack was going to happen. On December 7th 1941 the attack on Pearl Harbor was started with two waves of a 350 plane fleet. These planes…
Bin Laden, Al Qaeda has had limited success as a terror organization as a whole. It has been said though, if Al Qaeda harnesses the social networking tools that facilitated the “Arab Spring” to spark a transnational spate of spontaneous terrorist attacks (Hoffman, CTC Sentinel,…
“But when we came out of camp, that's when I first realized that being in camp, that being Japanese-American, was something shameful”(Takei). When the Emperor Was Divine a novel written by Julie Otsuka. The author tells a story of when a Japanese-American family was sent to a desert internment camp on the orders of the President.

3. Racial Prejudice 3.1 Result of Pearl Harbour Evidence suggests racial prejudices played a part in Truman’s decision as well. The event of Pearl Harbour on December 7th, 1941, had led many Americans to be bloodthirsty and bitter for revenge. The Japanese were not viewed as human compared to the white race as a result of racial prejudice, and many Americans agreed with these thoughts. Although in American society there were references to Germans as “krauts,” and Italians as “tonies” or…
Versus Salem Witch Hunt The Salem witch trials was only the start to “witch hunts” in the United States. Throughout history, there has been witch hunts for witches, communists, and one of the more recent, Muslim Americans. Ever since the terrorist attack on 9/11, there has been a stereotype that all Muslim Americans are terrorists or dangerous in some way. Hate crimes have only increased against them. The Salem witch hunt is all too familiar to the Muslim American witch hunt, and it makes…
to see how many soldiers came back alive, the evacuation should not be taken as a victory. In fact, in the last paragraph of his speech, Churchill encourages his fellow citizens to persevere through the war. He is almost certain that Germany will attack Britain on its’ own soil, and if that be the case, he tells Britain to stay strong, and never…
Language, when used to manipulate, can solely cause war. Language can be used to manipulate others for the purpose of political change to the point of war. In Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, the power of language is represented by the use of strong language by characters to persuade others to follow them. Manipulation of the senators to kill Caesar and the manipulation of the plebeians, to the point of revolt leads to the unleashing of civil war. Cassius shows how figurative language…
