During the time of the anti-slavery cause, Mary Ann Shadd Cary utilizes rhetoric to ardently persuade her audience in order to establish the utter importance of her newspaper, The Provincial Freeman. Some of her most powerful tools to raise support for her efforts includes diction to emphasize the struggles of her kind, the contrast between Canadian and U.S. editorials, and most of all, the usage of personal pronouns to connect with her readers. Using the pronouns, "we", Cary avoids the exclusive sense of "I" and "you" and effectively delivers her point across. Even with her first sentence, she begins with "We need an organ. .
Smith uses this repetition for emphasis on most every facet of her argument. In her concluding paragraph Smith says “As an American, I condemn a Republican Fascist just as much as I condemn a Democrat Communist. I condemn a Democrat Fascist just as much as I condemn a Republican Communist. They are equally dangerous to you and me and to our country. As an American, I want to see our nation recapture the strength and unity it once had…” The repetition of the phrase “I condemn…” puts emphasis on the fact that she too is against the ideas of Communism and Fascism, but reminds the audience that she sees a different approach to getting rid of them.

“So much of American society has become sloppy and laissez faire about the mechanics of writing” (Naomi Baron 88). Baron is making a bold statement by saying that, but she is a linguistics professor at American University and has seen a bad impact on student writing. Another statement made was “it reinforces simplistic writing that may be acceptable for conversation but is not so good for critical thinking or analysis” (Cullington 89). Both of these points are very true and definitely affect what the final outcome will be, weather it makes writing worse, or has no affect at
She states that if we continue to participate we will be a “repressive society” which to me seems very one sided, she speaks to everyone in this essay, because she wants everyone to know that if you participate in the pc, we are not only being ridiculous but we are being a “repressive society.” This essay, or what seems to be an essay, is not an effective argument because of the way she argues, she does not see things from both sides, but she chooses to voice her side and why she thinks it is ridiculous! By just reading the essay once, made me believe that this is not a great essay or argumentative essay why?

Tannen sites the sorry state of public forums are flooded by discord, use of war metaphors, and do or die thinking,” smashing heads
In the paper they also mention: “They either pass us by, in cold contempt, ignore us altogether, keep themselves or their readers, or both ignorant of what Canada is.” In this sentence, she is conjuring negativity and gives me a critical point of view while reading this passage.

Canadian Women have the Right to Vote By: Jason Xu 9-2 Many culture and regions believe that women must be housewives and those believe give women limited rights. One of those rights is being able to vote. Women are as smart as men and work just like men in different positions. So they should have the choice to determine who runs their country and who is in charge of their world.
