With this respect comes a stronger conscience as well as greater morals. Diving deep into ideas on how to earn the idea of respect really emphasized the solution to the whole problem association with young adults and the increase in problems with them. Metaphors can be a great way to simplify a complicated subject to enable a wider variety of audiences to understand it more thoroughly, which essentially leads to greater enjoyment of the reading. A great example of using a metaphor to allow the reader to understand better is when the author states “It is an island apart, striving to maintain itself in a sea of change.” (pg 391). This is referring to how the household is not connected with the outer world and is therefore isolated from any interactions.
He first mentions the “pedant’s stance” (Booth, 1963). This particular stance has to deal with the writer ignoring the audience and focusing particularly on the facts that he/she is presenting. The second is what Booth calls “the advertisers’ stance”. This particular form of writing focuses less on the subject at hand, and more on the “pure effect” (Booth, 1963), in other words, trying to be influential. Finally he mentions “the entertainers’ stance” (Booth, 1963), which simply means the writer gives up pertinent information in order to be amiable.
“A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within…In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty…They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good humored inflexibility…” (Emerson, 164) Emerson stresses not the substance of the ‘‘rejected thoughts’’, but their quality of ‘‘majesty’’ or greatness. Their power reflects the freedom of thought and expression that marks the work as genius; the freedom exemplified is the source of its authority. It is this authority that we recognize; we’ve seen it before in the power and authority of our own thoughts. Confronted with genius in the work of another, we face our own failure to trust ourselves. This is what it means to be enlightened, the idea of accepting oneself, and
Summary Response Amadeo Constanzo is the author of “Do You Really Think You Are a Good Writer?” and he believes that if you are in a remedial class English then “instead of wasting time and energy on negative thoughts, use the energy and time to improve your writing” or other skills. Constanzo supports remedial classes because even the best athletes train to be better just like a writer practices to become a better writer. I very much agree with Constanzo because the majors I currently have would eventually deal a lot with presentation documents. I am also in remedial English and I know that it would help me becoming a better writer. Benjamin Franklin once said “If a man empties his purse into his head no one can take it away from him.
Nathan Prince GS 1145 5-11-15 Unit 9 Assignment 1: Adding to My Self-Knowledge In taking the various personality tests to see where my strengths and weakness lay, some introspection on improvement has been able to take place. Many of my strengths seem to be based on leadership skills and keeping true to standards and traditions. These are good qualities to have but can also get in the way of outside opinions and accepting of new ideas. Finding a balance between the two spectrums will really help develop a more balanced person in my opinion. The test that examines more in depth of leadership styles produced a somewhat predicted outcome.
Critiquing an Essay with George Orwell’s six rules In Orwell’s essay he states that it is easy to slip into the bad writing that people have become accustomed to. It is difficult to go against the temptation of using the easy way out with meaningless words or hackneyed phrases that make things easier and require less thought. Orwell concludes that the progressive decline of the English language is reversible and he offers six rules which can help avoid most of the errors in poor writing. In Brenda Chow’s essay The Writer at Work, she breaks many of the six rules that Orwell wrote to avoid the continuation of our language decline. Chow breaks the following 3 rules: never use a long word when a short one will do, never use a simile, metaphor, or other figure of speech which you are seeing in print, and never use a foreign phrase, a scientific or jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Lindsey Speights Dr. Obradovic World Literature ii 29 September 2015 Philosophy of Pangloss vs. Martin What readers should take from Voltaire’s work is to refrain from determining whether Pangloss is right or not. Whether good or bad triumphs, it doesn't do any good to constantly ponder over the matter. “Man was placed in the garden to work, not to be idle.” I believe that Candide no longer would argue, he just realized the purport less futility of doing it and that true ecstasy will be by living life without cerebrating. Pangloss was a philosopher who additionally transpired to be Candide’s mentor. He was the man responsible for a majority of quotes that made this text popular.

He strongly believed that when a state fails to act in a moral way, it ceases to function in the correct manner and ceases to apply true authority over the individual. His second important principle of political philosophy is freedom in which he said the state is created to maintain. Rousseau also had many ideas on education that still influence today’s theories. He believed that educating children by books were much less important than educating a child’s emotions, and were almost a waste of time. He believed that learning by experience was much more effective and helpful in a child’s education.
Therefore, Lord Chesterfield strongly develops his ideal values through rhetorical strategies. This emphasizes and makes his values seem much more important. In making his values more important, Lord Chesterfield’s son may be persuaded more to take his advice, and eventually get far in
