With every opportunity of listening I will be mindful of creating a safe environment where clarity, understanding, and listening can take place effectively. More, important I should keep in mind how God listen to us. He listen to other with a love, compassion and caring heart. I want to do more listening and slow to speak. James 1:19 (KJV) says, “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” Taking the correct actions when listening will allow me to mend broken relationship due to lack of communication or listening skills.
It’s incredibly evident to the reader that Lord Chesterfield’s son takes advantage of him and this letter is probably Lord Chesterfield’s last effort to guide his son. Lord Chesterfield’s wisdom and core values that he has acquired throughout his life are portrayed into this detailed letter to his son using a variety of rhetorical strategies. In Lord Chesterfield’s introduction to his letter, the atmosphere of the message itself is modest and gentle. He uses his words in such a way that it comes off as if the advice he is going to give is something that his son has grown tired of hearing but Lord Chesterfield is going to share this same piece of advice one last time with his son in a gracious way. One example of Lord Chesterfield’s humble attempt to fill his son with his judgment is through personification: “I know how unwelcome advice generally is;” (lines 5-6).
He needs no boring facts about how it goes and people trust him even though. This makes Obama a fantastic speaker. The main goal of the speech is to tell the people once more what he stands for and he explains how thankful he is that he has been chosen for their candidate. He appeals to the 2 sides of the political view to stand united so that they can fix and change the problems they have in The United
In the text, some fathers are represented as loving and caring towards their sons, encouraging us to believe that they are better fathers. We are encouraged to believe this because the text is structured in Albies point of view, enabling us to read
Matt’s relationship with Tam Lin and El Patrón shows how father figures can have a heavy influence on a child’s action, resulting in an overall change in their future behaviors. The two men taking up fatherly roles in the novel illustrate their similar traits to Matt through their actions. Both men appear to care for Matt deeply, treating Matt as if he matters and is not simply a clone to be used. Similarly, they also give him a sense of strength, continuing to shape Matt’s young mind. Their care gave Matt a form of stability, forming his character and keeping him from becoming someone like Tom, a young man who has received no love and positive attention.
For starters, MLK communicates his respect for the Clergymen right from the beginning of the letter when he remarks “ Seldom do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas… But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth” MLK maintains this diplomatic tone throughout the most of the letter with slight changes to a more bitter and sarcastic tone in the middle of the letter evidenced by his long cumulative sentences. However, in the end MLK defaults back to his civil and respectful tone when he states “If I have said anything in this letter that overstates the truth and indicates an unreasonable impatience, I beg you to forgive me.” This well mannered tone is crucial to achieving any tangible policy change while maintaining a non-violent doctrine. However MLK’s respect doesn’t prevent him from utilising many Biblical allusions -- in a way, using the Church’s weapon against them-- to express his disagreement with the Church’s claims. One of the clearest examples of this is appears in paragraph 3 where MLK parallels the supposed effects of the his protest to those of Jesus’ actions by inquiring “Isn’t this like condemning Jesus because his unique God-
To come to an understanding and to stir action on a subject it is important to be friendly, to understand where they are coming from, to instill empathy, and to work towards a common goal. Doing all this with a calm voice is most effective. King brought a great awareness to the problem and a light for the future. To continue on we should address the issue bold and strong like King did but also in the friendly manner in which he set his voice. To yell and point fingers and call names will get us nowhere.
In the excerpt from the letter written by Lord Chesterfield to his son, he implies that he would like to advise his son and also reveal his own values. The author uses several rhetorical strategies throughout the text, such as anaphoras, rhetorical questions, and metaphors, which indicate his own values. Lord Chesterfield uses long sentences, separated by colons or semicolons, which may suggest he wants to advise his son in a quick, but friendly manner. Lord Chesterfield uses irony by when he first addresses his son, he does not “mean to dictate as a parent; only to advise as a friend.” As the letter continues though, he hints to his son that he is his father, and indeed he wants him to listen and follow to what he is informing his son of. The author also continues to explain to his son that he is “absolutely dependent upon him” and that “he neither had, nor can have a
The main thing I have learned is to be confident. In being confident I have learned to speak clearly and most important stay calm. I know I must stand up for my rights and for what I believe is right. There are many different peer pressure situations I will find myself in and I will use these techniques I have learned to make my way through them. Some of the ways I can stay in charge in these situations are just to avoid the situation all together, have a group of friends that have the same beliefs about drug use as I do, make fun of the situation and give them reasons why I would never choose to do drugs and most important I think is to always say “NO”.
