Along with rhetorical questions, King uses syllogism, where he constructs a conclusion from statements he stated earlier in the letter. The syllogism in paragraph sixteen, King states, “Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality.” As he states what A and B are, the conclusion, X, is therefore drawn. By appealing to ethos, King helps convey his message.
Moreover, when being chosen by the mining company, the unsteady camerawork and constant switching of perspectives highlights the controversial nature of the conversation and presents Ernesto as an authoritative figure fighting the inhumane treatment of the impoverished in South America. By dismissing the notion of Justice within their environments, the composers argue that morality and justice are values necessary to our existence. By comparing two contextually dissimilar texts, John Steinbeck’s 1937 novella ‘Of Mice and Men’ and Walter Salles’ 2004 biopic ‘The Motorcycle Diaries’, we gain a clearer understanding on what is required of humanity. Through Steinbeck’s response to the socio-economic
The thesis in highways essay argues that earth is not as dead and inanimate as we inhabitants think, and that we should be more appreciative of the life around us. Tomson implies his thesis by explaining how he sees the world through his eyes. He uses powerful words that we normally use to talk about humans to describe the land, such as “capable of nurturing” and “waves so massive that they can kill a man”. Tomson sees the world in a different perspective, and his purpose to tell the readers that the land is similar to a complex human being and it shouldn’t be taken advantage of. Tomson is explaining this idea as the earth as a complex being to those who may not understand.
All are white. The one man of honor in this phantasmagoria is 'Nigger Jim' as Twain called him to emphasize the irony of a society in which the only true gentleman was held beneath contempt.”-Russell Baker of the New York Times, 1982. This quote emphasizes the greatness of this book as an anti-racist and anti-slavery book. Anyone that thinks that Huck Finn or Twain are racist needs only to read this quote and their beliefs will immediately change because they will realize the context in which Twain was writing, and the point he was trying to emphasize; slavery and racism are horrible. They will only be able to do this if they think for themselves and challenge themselves to be open to new ideas.
Scott Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby, helps reinforce his message of how an American Dream can be corrupted if the society built on it is corrupted by materialistic views. Fitzgerald thoroughly provides insight on his message through the use of universal symbolism and effective imagery. With the use of symbols such as the green light and automobiles, Fitzgerald was able to build his perspective on the American Dream and how it can be achievable only if it is limited to the extent of attempting to achieve moral perfection. Daisy is illustrated to act as a social status symbol for Tom and this helped emphasize Fitzgerald’s message of the how corrupt money and materialism can make the American Dream. These implications outlined by Fitzgerald suggest the truth behind what individuals believe and how pursing the American Dream only for wonder is overseen with
* This use of contrasting shows us Victor’s understanding to not disturb the natural rhythm * Shelley suggests that peace between the natural rhythm and civilisation is needed to halt the emergence of chaos * She also explains that industrialisation has inhumane qualities, in that it in part usurps various roles that God himself plays * Paragraph 2 – Frankenstein explores the idea that a tension between the creator and their creation arises due to tension between nature and civilisation * ‘It was on a dreary night of November’ * This use of pathetic fallacy enhances the personification of the night which is detailed as dreary, thus providing a human emotion to nature * ‘catastrophe…yellow skin…these luxuriance’s only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes…shrivelled complexion and straight black lips * The use of gothic imagery explores the ugliness of the creation * Presents Shelley’s view on the Enlightenment, in which she feels it is unappealing * ‘such as thing Dante could not have
Martin Luther King advocates collective action in his civil disobedience movement. Similar to Thoreau, Dr. King respects what the law is capable of, but has every intention of making sure that equality is achieved, as “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” ( 4). King embodies the idea that all sentient beings are connected and writes that they are “caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny” ( 4). Dr. King attempts to move everyone to correct the injustice of racial discrimination by illustrating how everyone is connected to the problem and thus has a responsibility to repair the situation. Like Thoreau, Dr. King feels that there is an innate good in all people, and knows that the collective cannot idly sit by while their compatriots are done an injustice.

Your Name Mrs. Braddock AP Lit/Comp 3 1 September 2010 Title of Paper Edward Said states, “Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted;” however, he also believes that this alienation can be “potent, even enriching.” In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World exile is portrayed as a consequence which occurs when a person becomes an individual. In the new world order where people are conditioned to be “perfect consumers” and believe “everyone belongs to everyone else,” Bernard Marx and Helmholtz Watson are limited to physical exile for their incomplete conditioning.
Paulos Liu AP Language and Composition Link 12/16/12 The Corruption of Man In the United States, individualism is supported and valued, while still encouraging the importance of tolerating other cultures. Yet within this society, there are pressures to conform, and to not only tolerate, but to become another. In the novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley creates a world that, instead of encouraging toleration, brainwashes their individuals to create a homogenous society. Through Bernard and Lenina, Huxley comments on the corruption of the individual, and ultimately the society as a whole, because of the natural urge for acceptance. Huxley, through the rise of Bernard to a popular status, expresses the fall of an individual through the
