In Act III Scene II of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare composes essentially a war in rhetoric between the characters of Brutus and Mark Antony. Although for different purposes, both speeches given by Brutus and Mark Antony, pertaining to Caesar’s murder, contain poignant and skilled rhetoric in order to win over the citizens of Rome. Brutus bases his speech upon the appeal of ethos, being straight forward and honest with his audience, defending his ethical foundation. On the other hand, Antony’s speech is based upon the appeal of pathos and logos, delivering strong emotional and logical examples to support his argument, as well as dramatic effects with his use of striking pauses and props. Both orators use many combinations of rhetorical devices from Isocolon and Chiasmus to logical fallacies such as Ad Hominem, in order to influence the citizens of Rome into agreeing with their opinion of Caesar’s death.
Mazzini’s main ideas: The principal idea is to give an end to moral anarchy and to achieve that Italy becomes an independent and sovereign nation of free and equal citizens. Mazzini thought that the Italian unification had to arise from the Italian people to whom he was giving a very special force and a spirit through his speech. He was trying to educate the Italians, later to rebel against the established power, and wanted to create a true society with a common belief and a common aim, in which the main principle is to love God, humanity and their Nation. Mazzini and Patrick Henry (similarities and differences) The main similaritie between Patrick Henry and Giuseppe Mazzini were that they both encouraged people to fight, while Henry encouraged the colonists of Virginia to use military force to defend individual freedom from British laws, Mazzini encouraged the Italians to fight for Italy’s union and freedom under a republican government. Both in their speeches appeal to higher powers using God, liberty and justice as motivation for their main goal.
We know this because in the first act of the play, the Greek Chorus of the play, Mr Alfieri, who is an Italian – American lawyer, comes out on stage to speak to the audience, initially introducing the distinctions between justice and the law from an Italian point of view at the time in New York, making it quite clear that Italians are very keen on the idea of justice and getting what is right rather than have the law dictate it for them, for example ‘Justice is very important here’ (page 4). After the character of Mr Alfieri has made this
‘By comparing two texts, we can gain a better understanding of the ideas and themes in both.’ Explore this statement with reference to your prescribed texts remembering to discuss the context of each Through a simultaneous comparison of two different texts, we are able to examine the composers’ concerns of their contextual societies presented through the ideas and themes of the texts. John Steinbeck’s 1937 novella ‘Of Mice and Men’ and Walter Salles’ film ‘The Motorcycle Diaries’ presents various perspectives on the values of humanity. Steinbeck’s ‘Of Mice and Men’, set in the post-great depression era addresses the victims of their own dreams within the Californian Dustbowl. Salles’ on the other hand, utilises an epistolary framework in his
The condottieri remain an excellent solution where such fighting is necessary, providing us with hired leaders to take our armies into battle without requiring the sacrifice of noble Venetian blood. You shall represent the Contarini in the council hall, but we do not require that you risk what is to us a most precious and valuable life for the sake of an alteration on a map. Indeed, we should take to heart the words of our last doge, Tomaso Mocenigo, who urged us to "remember that commerce was the basis of Venetian prosperity, peace her greatest interest. Let [us] trade with Milan, not fight her." The fact that I send you with cloth woven in our rival city of Florence, and acknowledge its excellent weave
Though America is not in an economic growth, it is industrialized, and so it has citizens feeling relative deprivation, and plenty of intellectuals to fuel the dissent of the NSA revealings. Some citizens are frustrated that they do not have the privacy they believed they did, others point out that, for the most part concerning US citizens, their actions fall within current law. Some have quoted the US Declaration of Independence “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.” Within Crane Brinton's theory of the stages of a revolution, the US is showing the beginning signs of the first step: the old regime decays. There is no administration breakdown, but most are highly cynical of the government, officials admit that all processes are complicated, and intellectuals are bringing up more problems. The NSA break may bring about reforms for those that
Sharing with you today I hope gives you a better understanding of a court and its purpose, the dual court system, the role that early legal codes, the common law, and precedent played in the development of courts, and the role of courts in the criminal justice system today. Court and the Purpose A court is a function in the judicial system that is in place in case someone is accused of some wrongdoing to another person or something they have done illegally. It is in place to protect and interpret the laws of American society by keeping the peace. The American courts, individuals within the society, and a judge will be ones that make a decision as to whether someone has committed a crime or any other wrongdoing. They then will decide on what the punishment of an individual is, yet also as to how severe the punishment will be for the crime they have done.
Gun Control Research Project Aarron Locklin Lonestar College System Some Americans are convinced that more federal regulation of firearms is needed to reduce the number of homicides that are committed with guns and to ensure a safer, more civilized society. Others who support ownership of firearms proclaim that the right to bear arms is guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and that no increase in crime, no mass killing, nor any political murders should lead the nation to violate the Constitution and the individual rights it guarantees. They also say that knives and other instruments are used to kill people as well, and there is no talk of regulating or banning them. Both supporters and opponents of gun control
Gun control supporters can count some victories during the past year, including the gun-safety regulations in Massachusetts and the defeat of concealed weapons bill in several states. In all, gun control laws being stricter will gain control over gun violence and decrease the death rate over all. Both articles were well written and had chalk full of statistics and links to other sites to seek more information. They were able to convince me that fire arms should not be restricted, and concealed weapons help to lower crime. To not have possession of a gun in your home leaves you to feel helpless, because of this us civilians would no longer be able to
This is because the representation includes what it should based on my knowledge. The representation talks about key individuals (like Martin Luther king), attitudes, consequences of the protests, Law enforcement, Governments (federal government and president Kennedy), laws and finally different protest like the sit in, March on Washington, Montgomery boycotts and Freedom riders................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... This shows that representation is the best for completeness as it’s complete and it includes what it should based on my knowledge and shows the impact of protest on the US society. Therefore, representation 2 is substantially
