The IT Crowd

see rudeness on a daily and it’s really sad to see in a nation that should be so grateful for all the opportunities we have. People no longer smile in public towards one another, no longer thank each other, hold the doors for each other, and when in crowds don’t try to avoid bumping into each other. Others are no longer acknowledging people period. Rudeness is taking over our nation because people live by treat other how they treat another, not treat others how they wish to be treated. When…

others gathered anxiously for the decision that would not only impact the next four years but for some could have the possibility of shifting their entire future. The race for presidency was extremely close, with each vote that came in I could hear the crowd change from being extremely hopeful to quiet. This was unlike any other experience I have ever encountered as I was surrounded by 100’s of individuals who normally would never interact with one and another. Many thoughts went flying through…

out of their homes to watch him kill the elephant even though those weren’t his intentions. A crowd of over two thousand people was waiting for him to kill the elephant with the rifle and he did. It took him over 5 shots and still the elephant did not die. The elephant died in a cruel and extended death…

wishing the same for everyone in the crowd. After a few more songs, Chance formally introduced himself to the crowd, then in the middle of his speech, unexpectedly broke out into his song “Favorite Song” and sent the crowd into pandemonium in what was without a doubt one of the best moments of the entire festival. When it came time for the encore, Chance performed one of his more somber and serious songs, “Summer Friends,” and explained the meaning of it to the crowd, which surprisingly dampened…

many know what pleases them when they themselves are pleasing the many. The real question is if it is better for humans to be followers or if it is better to be themselves. First off, most people today are followers and they are part of the crowd. The crowd is made up of…

Julius Caesar, a drama written by William Shakespeare, is about the dictator Julius Caesar, who was assassinated by a group of conspirators, and the effects that followed. Close friends of Caesar, Mark Antony and Brutus, both spoke at his funeral. Mark Antony had the strongest and most effective speech because he utilizes rhetoric such as pathos and ethos. He uses rhetoric to prove that Brutus’s claims are inaccurate. Antony also relates to the people on a different level than Brutus, this…

to stand in front of a crowd trying to reason their death with them while trying to comprehend the death itself. In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Mark Antony has to fill these dreadful shoes and take the first step in the right direction after witnessing the murder of his closest friend, Julius Caesar. In act three Antony stands in front of the group of Plebians after they have just listened Brutus, the conspirator’s, reasonings as to why Caesar needed to be killed. The crowd originally agrees…

convincing and he manipulates the crowd into believing him easily. After Brutus speaks, Mark Antony, Caesar’s good friend and second in command, gives a speech about Caesar and how he did not deserve to die, easily turning the crowd against Brutus and the other conspirators. Both speeches use persuasive techniques, like ethos, and rhetorical devices, like repetition and rhetorical questions, to manipulate their audiences…

guilty because the massacre was premeditated and was not done for self-defense from a violent crowd, but instead to get revenge and recognition. In Amritsar, his troops killed hundreds of people and injured over a thousand more (Source 10). There was no reason for any of this to have happened. The crowd was made up of non-violent protestors ("Amritsar Massacre"). There were about 25,000 people in the crowd, many people were observing their holy day of Baisakhi (Bose). Many of the people…

In order to avenge Caesar, Mark Antony turns a shocked, confused crowd of mourners into an angry mob of rioters by using persuasive techniques. The main component of Antony’s speech, Pathos, appealed to the commoners by striking an emotional spot inside them, trying to turn the fickle crowd against Brutus. Antony displayed the persuasive technique of Pathos by repeating words, showing them Caesar’s body, and presenting Caesar’s will. In the beginning of Antony’s speech, he spoke of Brutus as…
