Award-winning author and feminist Ursula K. Le Guin delivered a rhetorically complex speech to the Mills College graduating class of 1983, comprised almost entirely of women. Her speech came at a challenging time for women, as second-wave feminism began to dissolve into a myriad of disagreeing factions. The title of the speech, the “Left-Handed Commencement Address,” is a reference to her book The Left Hand of Darkness, which follows an androgynous race of space aliens. This foreshadows the content of her speech, wherein Le Guin discusses gender norms and the importance of women forging their own paths in a male-dominated society. Le Guin uses strong ethos to connect with her audience successfully, though I believe she uses her credibility as a crutch to hold up the unclear premise of her speech. In my rhetorical analysis of this speech I intend to show the quality of her ethical appeal with her intended audience, primarily through her pronoun usage, and expose the weaknesses in the content of her speech. Le Guin builds ethos quickly with her choice of pronouns. The first word of her speech is “I.” She takes responsibility for her words and establishes her authority over the subject. A few sentences into the speech Le Guin shifts to “we,” with the statement, “That’s why we are all wearing these twelfth-century dresses that look so great on men and make women look either like a mushroom or a pregnant stork” (Le Guin). This usage of “we” seems out of Le Guin’s control – indeed…

I started baking at a young age, and right then I knew that’s what I wanted to do. I make cakes for family and friends whenever I can and also took some Wilton cake decorating classes. I even took 2 years of ceramics classes and an AP 3D art class to better my skill. I like the idea that I can replicate something while making it edible as well. I love working with fondant, gum paste, and modeling chocolate. My most recently favorite cake I made was a large sheet cake for my band director when…

Critical issue Purcell et al’s Bath People and Performance Model(2003, cited by Wilton, 2013, in Parkinson&McBain, 2014:107) suggest that HR practices are the building blocks of good performance, driven by line manager’s activities and behaviours, in adopting and executing HR practices(figure 5). Central to this model is Boxall’s and Purcell’s Ability-Motivation-Opportunity concept(2003, cited by Wilton, 2013, in Parkinson&McBain, 2014:105), which is a useful tool to diagnose under-performance…

In order to make a cake from scratch a person would have to measure all the ingredients and then mix them all together in a correct method, so that the cake would come out right. If a person is not very good around the kitchen or even does not have the time to make a cake from scratch. The alternative is to make a cake from cake mix like Duncan Hines. Duncan Hines has been around for many years and had dedicated the name brand to service the home…
