Then in paragraph two he questions: “But is there really a link between entertainment and violent behavior?”(Rhodes). Then he starts giving information that contradicts his claim and supports his opponents but he ends refuting it in the paragraph above. We see this agreeing and refuting structure all over the article. As a reader I found the editorial really confusing when you start reading it, because I did not understand what was he saying or arguing. However as soon as I finished reading it, I understood the purpose of his organization.
This is why at his daily meetings he had his “top staff” present these were the people who best represented their important department or agency and could report the mayors decisions and advice back to everyone. As a reminder to himself and his staff, he would hold these meetings in each of the different boroughs of the city as a reminder that they served all parts of NYC. Before his time in office NY was seen as a very unsafe place to visit and live. However, during his time as mayor he was able to reduce the overall crime rate by 57% and the murder rate by 65%. While during this time Giuliani was a leader, it wasn’t until the tragedy of September 11,2001 that he gained international attention for his
He means that if the venture needs you to be anyone else but yourself, it will lead to no good. This reveals to me that Thoreau believes strongly in the individual, being yourself, and seeking your own path. This quote is also applicable to modern life because many ventures nowadays require you to conform for some purpose. The second aphorism I remembered is “Our life is frittered away by detail...Simplicity, simplicity.” Thoreau means that our focus and attention to detail now in society and culture do nothing but to waste our lives away needlessly. He believes simplicity is the better choice.
George does not care about Lennie’s situation and he trust in him as Lennie trust in George. In chapter four, the George says, “A guy needs somebody-to be near him” shows that people need other people to be strong and take better decisions. No matter who is that person and how smart is he or she. George does not care about who Lennie is and he considered Lennie his friend, showing that intelligence is not everything. All Lennie actions show his innocence.
John Hersey’s Hiroshima is not only a detailed account of the Americans bombing Japan in 1945, but he inserts rhetorical devices that encourage readers to feel pathos while reading. Ironic occurrences make readers think about the paradoxes that occurred. Alliteration added soft and hard moods to situations, which allowed the ambiance of the story to take
He wanted the interviewer to explain the meaning of that particular term, especially to the audience, who might have no idea about this research that has been done, which called “parliam statements” Q4- It comes from PT Parliam the circus preparsure who said we have something for everybody. *What kind of information did the interviewer want to extract? He wanted to emphasize the information, that he knew from his previous study about his interview, from the interviewee who knows more about this topic. *What is the purpose of the question? It is also to give the audience the knowledge of this derivation and to give the impression to the interviewee that he has a very good background about this topic as
Every component he believed that should be included in argumentative writing was included in this very essay about it. Since he used his own ideas on his audience, Frank Cioffi’s essay demonstrated his argument of improving academic writing
At several points in the story, he all but addresses us directly, imploring us, for example, to notice how bad Aylmer looks in comparison even to an animal like Aminadab. The narrator can also be characterized as a moralist who condescends to his readers. Rather than trusting us to figure out the symbolism of the birthmark, for example, or allowing us to draw our own conclusions about the soundness of Aylmer’s experiment, the narrator rushes to explain every metaphor and symbol as if we might miss his point. The strong narrative voice of “The Birthmark” epitomizes a key difference between modern American short stories and nineteenth-century American short stories. Modern stories are often told in an objective, distant, even ironic voice, whereas nineteenth-century stories were usually told by passionate narrators who infused their own strong opinions.
Instead, they all contributed a few things to help him and they did this out of social contract and felt that they are obligated to help the man out because of their conscience. They made sure that the things they did to help the man will not hinder them from reaching their ultimate goal. Each of the individual groups of men did a singular act to help because of the implied obligation by our social contract, although none of them went the whole way and saved the man’s
1. The motorcycle is not simply a vehicle to be driven. It represents the personality and character of individuals, and is a perfect fit for 20th century themes: technology, engineering, innovation, design, mobility, speed, rebellion, desire, freedom, love, sex, and death. As T. Krens, a curator in the Guggenheim Museum in New York, observed, "Park the latest Ducati, Harley, Honda, or BMW on a street corner in any city or town in the world, and a crowd will gather." (Ducati Case pg 1).
