Have you ever heard the saying, “wrong place, wrong time,” or maybe that life is about “being at the right place at the right time”? Or have you ever heard about the cartels and their crimes down in Mexico? Murders, kidnapping, drug trafficking, and lots of partying goes on every day by every cartel and by every drug lord south of the border.

This why i think that this is a perfect topic for me to write a rhetorical analysis about…

Former CEO and founder of Apple Inc., Steve Jobs was man of many talents and virtues. Although Steve Jobs was very honorable, there was a time in his life he failed to uphold a commitment.
