Lee Bollinger most certainly did not deliver a proper introduction. An introduction is designed for one speaker to introduce another. “When you introduce one speaker to another, you want them to get interested in each other and to like each other: You want speaker and audience to be interested and feel warmth and friendliness. Also a speaker should give background information to enhance the speaker’s credibility with the audience (Hamilton Gregory, Public Speaking for College and Career).” Also and introduction should never insult or offend the next speaker. In lee Bollinger speech he accused Ahmadinejad of being petty and cruel and criticized his dictatorship as a president.
Rhetorical Analysis: John Legend John Legend, a man of many musical talents, was chosen to give the commencement speech to Kean University’s class of 2011. He did not rely on his musical accomplishments to win over the audience of the graduates and family members, but used his knowledge of problems in the education system to show everyone how lucky they are to receive this gift of tools to succeed in life. Within his speech he effectively encouraged the audience to use their knowledge to make a change by comprising his speech mainly of pathos, to shed light with the troubles in the education system. He used logos to show how these problems happening are real rather than just theories, but stayed away from the appeal of ethos because his message was not to point out all of his achievements. Throughout the speech John Legend did not try to create his ethos through all of his own personal accomplishments in the music world to significantly establish his credibility to the audience.
"If only they could send us something grownup ... a sign or something." shows that Ralph also feels that grownups are important in guiding them and that they are the most knowledgeable, having a solution to everything. However, at the end of the novel when an adult actually appears, he is very clueless and ignorant of what is happening even when told about the death and killings. When the whole island was burning, he could still “grin cheerfully at Ralph” and tried to be funny with him by asking “having a war or something?” Even during such a serious time when the boys were really having a war and the whole island was actually burning down, the officer could still make jokes and take things lightheartedly. This shows how ignorant he is and how he doesn’t understand the severity of this situation.
He used repetition to try and sway the plebeians. He often refers to Brutus as an “honorable man”, each time with more sarcasm. Antony also uses reverse psychology on the crowd. He tells everyone about “Caesar’s will”, however, he says that he cannot read it. This makes everyone beg for him to read it.
He said, “I noticed that several of his punch lines had been unintelligible, and the audience had actually laughed at nothing but the cue of his hand slap.” (111) Martin felt that the audience was forced to laugh not because of the joke or because the man was being funny, but because of the cue that was provided. He strongly disliked this and wanted his comedy to be unpredictable and Rodriguez 2 more importantly memorable. This caused Martin to take a deeper look into his own act to make sure that it was set up in a way that the audience would laugh when they actually thought it was funny and not when they felt it was expected of them. He started doing odd unpredictable things to accomplish
Bias Analysis #1: Long Editorial I know not one person whom believes that the new reported on television is not liberally biased. I often come home to find my father complaining about the media’s slant towards democratic views yet he is frequently preaching what they report as fact. These so called “truthful” accounts are delivered in a similar way as the orchestrated scenes of movie; just as movies are created to induce a certain emotion or address a question, media coverage is meant to fuel paranoia and incite a desire for change which would benefit a minority of people. In Bernard Goldberg’s book Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News, he attempts to tackle the issue of liberal media bias in the large East-coast news organizations. In his narrative, Goldberg begins by explaining his current situation of exile from media coverage despite his 28 years of service.
Richard Wright’s criticism is right in the ballpark and I completely agree with it. In this book there was no central theme or idea, not one considerable humanistic thought or implication. This book did contain some good situations to learn from but nothing that persuades or changes the reader’s view, let alone life. A good fictional book has all of these qualities and more, something to make the reader doubt what they knew before, to make them question human thought and behavior and to make them learn or believe in a cause pointed out in that book. This is a fun dramatic story that lets the audience laugh and cry with Janie and her friends, but fails to deliver in the way of explaining the characters actions through the analysis of human nature.
You can tell that nobody takes them seriously, especially when Leonato shows no sign of gratefulness that he has captured two men by simply saying “go drink some wine” (Shakespeare 46) As we look into the theories of comedy for the play, it is clear that an option is Freud’s theory. He believes that the essence of comedy and laughter come at the extent of others. Comedy is often a disguised form of anger or aggression. We find ourselves, as well as some of the characters in the play, laughing at the fact that some of the characters are being manipulated into believing one thing from another. Much Ado About Nothing was a difficult play for me to understand at first, but after watching the play and going back and reading it again it definitely helped my understanding of the sarcasm happening by the characters.
He is totally unaware of how she feels and is only concerned about his own experience. “Once I tapped him on the arm so I could whisper a comment in his ear. He jumped” (Toth pg.1) Sounds like Aaron forgot he was even at the movies with someone else! Bob, a happy radical, chooses films that will change the world that are positive and uplifting. He is rather thoughtful but almost to the point where he seems to be a moral judge.
Bud Light: Real Men of Genius “Today we salute you Mr. Unathletic sports talk radio guy.” (www.budlight.com) That is just one of the many Real Men of Genius commercials produced by Anheuser-Busch. Many people think they are dumb and pointless, while others get a hilarious laugh at the stereotypes and “paying mock tribute to the unsung heroes” (www.usatoday.com) of the particular ad, whatever it may be. Over the course of this essay, the stereotypes aimed at the male gender and the points of the ads will be discussed as well in hopes of shedding some light on a great ad that a lot of people don’t understand. The stereotypes in the Bud Light ads are aimed towards the male gender and the “unsung heroes” of America. The “unsung heroes” are the inventors or facilitators of the great things that all men have come to love in America.
