He would also establish his own ethos by including his support for dignified persons that would validate his argument. In the beginning of his article, Gatto immediately establishes his credibility by stating in the first paragraph that he is " an award-winning educator and ardent libertarian…and has taught in New York public schools for more than two decades" (148). By stating his credibility, it would be easier for the audience to trust and believe Gatto's personal opinions about public education - that the lives of American civilians are manipulated by higher authorities in order to make sure that American citizens are dependent to the system and not independent thinkers. In order to further be seen as credible, Gatto uses expertise generalizations and figures that support his overall claim about public education. Gatto would use names such as James Bryant Conant, "the reason for how modern public schools are today," and the opinions of Alexander Inglis that “compulsory schooling was intended to be like the Prussia schooling system: divide children by subject, age, grading, and test scores in order to keep
Not only will Sylvia be looking at my nonverbal communication, but I will observe her as well. I will make sure that she is giving positive feedback through her gestures. After speaking with her I would simply ask her if I have answered all of her questions and addressed her concerns that she may have had. Hopefully by the end of our meeting she will feel comfortable and will continue her business with LKM
The close up on Susan Sarandon’s face is used to show how beautiful she is because she uses REVLON. By using her beauty it gives the product credibility and it manipulates people because a famous person is being used and one immediately assumes that the product must be good. Furthermore, alliteration is used. Susan Sarandon’s initials match the initials of the title “Star Style” people will be more compelled to buy the product because she uses it and especially because the words confident and charismatic are used to describe her, again alliteration is shown. The REVLON advertisement use of rhetoric appeals to those who know who Sandra is and like

However, if there was a waiting period in all states it could prevent a person from committing a crime if the firearm was purchased from a Federal Firearm Licensed dealer. A waiting period imposes a time period of several days or longer during which tempers can cool, so that by the time the gun is obtained, the motivation to kill will have evaporated (Jacobs, 2004, p. 3). The state of Texas currently does not have a waiting period when purchasing handguns, shotguns, or rifles. If mental health assessments or release of medical records would have been available during a background check it could have raised flags regarding any mental status, which could have prevented some individuals that have committed crimes from acquiring weapons or
At the conclusion of her essay, Ozick personifies the essay as “she”, giving us a better idea of what an essay would look like or would do if it were a “she”. Ozick says “She may be bold, she may be diffident, she may rely on beauty or cleverness, on eros or exotica. Whatever her story, she is the protagonist, the secret self's personification”. She uses the title in her essay to say that the writing can be looked at as if it were an actual person. It embodies the writer, yes, but it also embodies a person.
An Argument For Gun Rights Everyone should have the right to own a gun. Forget the little fact that the Second Amendment grants us the right to own a firearm for one second. Most of us can agree that a gun is a useful tool. After all, law enforcement and the military swear by theirs. It also doesn’t make sense to blame an inanimate object rather than the individual behind it and the reasons why gun violence occurs.
I believe that was a successful move by him to establish his credibility. He claims categorically that our brain gradually takes the qualities of the technology it uses. He proves this by employing the story of a writer who was going blind and decided to get a typewriter to salvage his career. There was a change in his style of writing once he started using the typewriter. I believe that was a move targeted at the readers’ emotions.
Ken Turner Donald Busch College Comp. II January 18, 2013 Rhetorical Analysis: “Stay Sweet As You Are” by Doug Lantry Throughout the beginning paragraph Lantry introduces the reader to his article’s main theme of advertisements focusing on women’s apparent need or desire to “catch” a man, or to become married to him. Lantry sets up the body text of his article by ending his introductory paragraph with “from the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1950’s this theme can be traced through verbal and visual context.” This ensures that Lantry will be able to reinforce his thesis by potentially using examples of advertisements portraying this theme through verbal and visual context in all three time periods. Lantry starts his second paragraph by first revealing his first example the Resinol Soap advertisement and giving some basic information about what exactly the advertisement is stating. He then fills a gratuitous amount of the paragraph stating how the advertisement is very negative toward anyone that does not use the product.
