Andrew Hall Mrs. Krause English 11 Honors August 28, 2014 Abigail Adams Rhetorical Strategies Abigail Adams writes to her son, John Adams, in order to guide him and offer advice as he enters an important part of his life, of which she feels obliged to be a part of. In her letter she provides many instances of sincere and helpful advice, yet does not do so without the use of rhetorical strategies to emphasize her point and persuade her boy to adhere to her strict plan for him. Her acts of persuasion are in no way malicious or ill-fated, as they simply exhibit a classic “mother knows best” attitude in spirit of love and care for her child. In her letter to her son, Abigail Adams uses parental glorification, an appeal to the importance of knowledge, and an appeal to pride in one’s country in order to advise her son toward acts of her will. Abigail is well aware of the heavy regard for herself that she has bred into John, and thus uses this pre-established respect to heighten her own position to inform him.

By greeting and offering seats to Sunita and her husband we were developing a rapport with the patient and being professionally friendly. It is important not to appear rushed, as this may interfere with the patient’s desire to disclose information. Sunita’s husband was asked to confirm Sunita’s date of birth and address to ensure that we had the right patient. A verbal consent was obtained before taking her history because informed consent should be gained from the patient before any healthcare intervention including history taking (NMC 2008). In Sunita’s case we had to rely on the information given to us by her husband to confirm that she was acting on her free will and also her body language when she nodded her head after being asked.
Ethics In Action II Lateshia Rogers Liberty University Segment One: The Divorce 1. If this was my client I would ask her to talk about the history of her relationship with her husband. I would ask her to take me on the journey of the relationship from when they met to the present. The goal is to get the client, as she talks, to reflect on happier times; pinpoint when things started to go downhill; and reflect on her own behaviors and attitudes that may have led to conflictual situations wihout me, as the counselor, saying anything as I do not want to cause the client to get defensive, feel as though I am taking her husband’s side or blaming her for any of the marital issues. It is my opinion and experience that many times when individuals are given the opportunity talk clamly to someone is actively listening, they have the ability to think rationally about their decisions, actions, etc.

They also have an episode where they interview each of the kids to see if they would want to be polygamy. Some of the kids said they won’t mind continuing to do polygamy if they found the right people and were in love.
The author also illustrates this when Proctor says “I have three children, how may I teach them to walk like men in the world, and I sold my friends” (132). Basically the author is saying take responsibility for our actions, respect our family and peers and do the right thing. This if anything I want my children to know and understand. We as humans affect others by our actions. Preaching family values to our youth will ensure us that our children will grow up to be model
Close Relationships Sometimes Marks Poor Communication Angela Walter OOM200: Interpersonal Communication (ADM 1302A) Instructor: Summer Beretsky Date: January 14, 2013 After reading the article on close relationships mask poor communication, I have to say that I agree with the article. I believe that we as human gets so comfortable in our relationships with each other and with the people we love, and or close to, that even in our communicating we think that they will know what we are trying to say to them.
