This makes the speech more interesting and holds back the audience. 5)The dominance of declarative sentences is appropriate in an inaugural address because they establish ethos by making
(289~291) I agree with Johnson’s claim of, Sleeper Curve makes the viewers improve so they Liu 2 can and will want to watch more TV shows. However, watching TV have more factors that make you more stupid than make you smarter. This skill ends up letting people watch more and more TVs, which already is a bad thing, and they become more stupid. First of all, TV shows’ content also is a great factor of being smart which Johnson never talks about. In “Watching TV Makes You Smarter” when he talked about the show 24, he ignored the content of the show like the torture scenes, and go straight to the Sleeper Curve.
This example shows how Fowles’ examples are very vivid and shows how advertising companies try to actually use many of these appeals to grasp our attention as well as our wallets. Many of the examples in the article are very clear and the messages portrayed with them are easily understood. Fowles uses many examples to sometimes show how ridiculous some advertisements actually are: “There goes all the guests when the supply of Doritos’s nacho chips are exhausted” (Fowles 663). Fowles’ examples in this article show how simplistic, yet, effective these advertisements
One can always refute anything they’d like, but to be effective, one needs to have appropriate facts for back-up and a dominating style that brings it all together. Dave Barry has done a great job tying his hyperboles and humor to appease the audience. His constant joking and exaggeration kept the audience content and involved in the writing. His diction level being informal keeps the audience up to date with Barry’s latest issues and lets them relate to it with the visual types and personification that he presents throughout it. Together, they reflected his purpose and brought about a negative, mocking tone to the piece and displayed to the free world that kitchen appliances and remote controls may be too complex someday, if they aren’t
I personally believe that both William Safire and Alan Dershowitz have a good argument. Dershowitz is pointing out the positive aspects of having National ID cards while Safire points out the negative. I agree with both of them. I think that the ID would give us more security and would make me feel safer about what goes on around me everyday. I do also believe that it would be a gateway for law enforcement to be able to exploit people more often and pick on them because of something on their record.
As soon as one hears “In the arms of an angel” by Sarah McLachlan, it triggers an immediate response from most viewers: change the channel. Her face as well as her voice has become one of the most influential of the ASPCA spokesmen. These commercials use a variety of rhetoric skills to provoke the audience to donate to the organization. The musical component of the commercial sets the tone and instantaneously evokes compassion for these innocent fur babies. This compassion-provoking advertisement tactically uses Sarah McLachlan and her music along with some of the saddest looking photographs to help score donations to fund the program.
First of all fraternities are different and are founded on different ideals. With that being said, I believe this fraternity should not base the quality of their new members on how much they can drink. Ultimately Benjamin was the one who chose to put himself in that situation involving heavy drinking and could have removed himself from the situation whenever he wanted to. Fraternities are known for their drinking and partying, but most of it is unseen by the public eye and when tragedies like this occur, fraternities all over get a bad rap. A little social drinking is not a terrible thing, but drinking turns deadly when people treat it as a sport and try to “out drink” others.
But the REVLON advertisement clearly conveys why their make- up collection is best. In this ad the diction used appeals to more females. The advertiser used celebrity endorsement to persuade one to purchase their product. Susan Sarandon is a well-known actress. The close up on Susan Sarandon’s face is used to show how beautiful she is because she uses REVLON.
He is having a rough day, and needs a way of escaping from the reality of his adversity. For me, a way of escaping a rough day is to get lost in a movie, where the adversity is of the characters, and none of yours to worry about. Unfortunately, drinking to escape the adversity in reality really just creates more adversity for oneself. We see this in counterparts when Farrington arrives home. On top of all the adversity Farrington has gone through during the day the alcohol brings out rage in Farrington to the point of beating his own son which simplifies down to more adversity in Farrington’s life.
But In 1987 gay marriage was not being thought of, there was no place in America where homosexuals could marry, this gave Jerry more ease in being adamantly opposed to this AIDS positive homosexual who moved home to die. Jerry’s views on the subject where imbedded in him from his upbringing, but that does not make them right. Jerry’s views are an excellent example of home grown
