Carmen Mejia RWS 200/Professor Copeland Rhetorical Analysis 25 September 2011 Project One: Rhetorical Analysis Many individuals believe that American life is purposefully programmed by their leaders to be simple and easy, in order to "deprive citizens from having to actually think for themselves and be independent" (154). John Taylor Gatto, an award-winning educator and ardent libertarian, is one of those individuals who argues that “we,” as in Americans, “are a nation of children” (155). Through his usage of rhetorical appeals such as ethos, pathos and logos, Gatto can construct an effective, thorough argument in his essay Against School. Gatto effectively uses personal anecdotes and ethical appeals in order to establish a general validity with his audience. He would also establish his own ethos by including his support for dignified persons that would validate his argument.

Changes and Continuities in The Islamic World During The 600s and Through The 700s. The Islamic world has remained constant in the way that its population is influenced by and follows the customs of the religion called Islam which determines their social/moral codes.

The first major change in the Islamic world from 600 to 800 CE was around 632 CE when Islam was created, a religious combination of Jewish, Christian, and Arabic faiths.
Through education, we incite liberation from intellectual dormancy, enhance our perspective, and cultivate prosperity. Education is the catalyst for humanitarian reemergence and emboldens us with ethical fortitude to derail revolving social inequities. In recounting his childhood in “The Joy of Reading: Superman and Me”, Sherman Alexie makes revelation of society-driven conformities: “As Indian children, we were expected to fail in the non-Indian world” (Alexie 17). When considered indigent, we become subjugated as we depend on societal provisions. To break free from such isolation, we must become educated.
