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
The Best and Worst of Americas Presidents Throughout U.S history there have been many good presidents and also many bad presidents. I believe that presidents should be graded on how they handle the economy, foreign policy, and equal rights. From our first president to our current president those I believe are the three most important grading points. A good economy is very important because it gives people a better living by giving them job opportunities and a way for people to make money. Foreign policy is important because it has a lot to do with the trade, technology, and communications of the United States.
Carl Olsen Mrs. Martelli American Literature AP 30 August 2014 “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” uses the word “nigger” over two hundred times throughout the book. Because of the degrading term used so frequently, there have been many debates whether or not the book is racist or should even be banned from classrooms and public libraries. Some think the book offends African American students while others think it helps display the language of the historical time period which takes place around the 1840’s in Missouri. You can find the answer to the racism question by analyzing the treatment of whites to blacks throughout the book. "Good gracious!

Benjamin Banneker, former slave turned farmer, astronomer, mathematician, surveyor and author utilized 3 rhetorical strategies in this excerpt to strengthen his argument. Pathos, formal diction, and repetition were used in order to evoke strong emotion and more passion. These 3 rhetorical strategies not only made his letter stronger and more passionate but it also caused Thomas Jefferson to think about the decisions that he would have to make in the near future. Pathos was used throughout the entire letter, however it was most strongly used when Banneker reflects on America’s feelings of being oppressed by the British. “look back… on the variety of dangers to which you were exposed; reflect on that time in which every human aid appeared unavailable, and in which even hope and fortitude wore the aspect of inability to the conflict and you cannot but be led to a serious and grateful sense of your miraculous and providential preservation.” Banneker is making a connection between slavery and the oppression that America has been through in order to have Jefferson relate to how slaves feel about being “under groaning captivity and cruel oppression.” In addition to Pathos, Banneker used formal diction to exhibit the vastness of being free as well as the horrors of slavery.
Both start off with trying to get their credibility first, Antony wins in doing a better job because he worked harder in trying to get it.

Antony also uses a great deal of emotion in his speech. He used repetition to try and sway the plebeians.

By this Winthrop means that the populace of America, as well as the rest of the world, will be watching them. There would be many negative opinions as their controversial moves are very different from those of societies in the past and not what is expected of people under their current social rules and guidelines. He tells them that if their society succeeds they will show the entire world that they can attain religious freedom and escape the tyranny of the English crown. This part of the speech is arguably the most famous and served to be very true.

Outline and critically evaluate ONE of the theoretical approaches as it applies to 3 different advertisements/commercials of your choice Introduction For the past three decades, various studies have examined how consumer’s evaluation of issues and products are exaggerated by media advertisement.
