Suggesting that hospitals of all places should not encourage smoking. The reader thinks about how hospitals are supposed to help individuals get better but instead seeing others around hospitals smoking makes it okay. The editor continues with simplification “introducing 50 metre smoke-free zones around entrances” to offer a quick fix solution to fixing this hospital drama. The editor uses connotations “campaign” “defence” “assault” “counter attack” “battle” “bravery” to make the reader think of war, that this issue is a war and call to arms. It associates meanings of words arouse feeling and attitudes that position the reader.
I quite enjoyed Fahrenheit 451. A 20th-century classic. The language features employed in it result in an interesting, if not slightly difficult read which provokes deep thought from the reader. Published in 1953, it describes a future American society where books are outlawed, and it is the role of ‘firemen’ to destroy any that are found. Montag, the protagonist, is a fireman and is happy however, after a conversation with the girl next door, he discovers he is completely discontented with how he has been living out his life, burning knowledge and encouraging stupefaction.
Emphysema is due to the enzymatic destruction of lung elastin and collagen by neutrophile and macrophage elastases induced in most cases by cigarette smoking"( Bellomi, Rampinelli, Veronesi, Harari, Lanfranchi, Raimondi, & Maisonneuve, 2009, p. 286, para 1). Mr. Bley does not want to quit smoking because he enjoys it too much and he denies his emphysema is worsening. When going out on errands with his wife he reports that he becomes short of breath walking
April 11th, 2013 Fahrenheit 451 Just like in real life, characters in books have virtues and vices. Ray Bradbury did an amazing job presenting a theme through his characters in his book Fahrenheit 451. The novel is about how books are illegal at the time because the government didn’t want people to think for themselves. They believed life would be much better if no one questioned things. Instead of putting out fires, firefighters went to homes that were believed to have books and set them on fire.
In this way the powerless often wrestle concessions from the powerful. Protests can be violent or peaceful, but either way they are a way to get one’s voice and opinion heard. In an example of this, the hit TV-show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has an episode entitled “Charlie wants an Abortion”, and it goes through the characters (Charlie, Mac, Dennis, and Dee; who are also the producers) opinions and stances on the abortion laws in our country. The episode starts by Charlie having to get a paternity test to prove that he's not the father of his old flame's ill-behaved son, meanwhile, Mac and Dennis feign being against abortion so they can pick up women. The producers don’t directly come out and state their views, but have the characters divide into the two sides of the debate (pro-choice and pro-life) and partake in protests outside of abortion clinics.
It gives a feeling of empathy to the reader, making the writers argument more convincing. All the rhetorical questions asked by Ginsberg are directly related to the thesis statement emphasizing the purpose of his writing helping him portray how he feels regarding the tobacco industry. Ginsberg’s (1997) use of parallel structure has helped his readers understand his cause. He has used a combination of parallel structure and rhetorical questions to best grab the attention of the reader in the following way : Would it be any less crass were I to have said that I was a heart surgeon repairing vessels damaged by cigarettes? Would it have been more acceptable if the pleasure that I took in his smoking being good for by business had related to my work as a tobacco farmer, to my work as a tobacconist, a tobacco company executive, the receiver of revenue benefiting from tobacco tax….. Would it have been more acceptable were I an organizer of a sporting event or an arts festival dependent on tobacco sponsorship?
Fahrenheit 451 “Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution say, but everyone made equal.” (58) Captain Beatty claims here that people need to be made equal, lest people become unhappy. Beatty claims that it is the job of the fireman to uphold equality by burning books which show people’s inequalities. This is how Beatty misinterprets the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence by wanting to uphold the right to the pursuit of happiness, but as a fireman he forces people to be happy by taking away all unhappiness. “‘Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.’” (36) This is a reference to Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer. The two were
As he has said "My diagnosis was a bad thing (he had stage 3 melanoma) but it was also a good thing, because we can save lives." He no longer has his job as a truck driver but has devoted his life to spreading the word about skin cancer. Now that the ban has been mentioned he "would like to think Clare Oliver is looking down from heaven with a smile on her face." The banning of solariums will have an impact on many people, therefore why are we still waiting till 2014? The smart choice would be to simply ban them immediately.
When reading the speech King uses a strong appeal (ethos) in convincing his audience that “now is the time” no more waiting and take action on what has become. As the speech goes on there is a strong abundance of emotion (pathos) that is drawn out through the audience. Fear, sadness, hopefulness, disappointment, pain and anger all of these emotions tie into the speech in one way, making the audience feel there is hope in the world and one day we as the people will integrated and become
One of the childhood stories he tells is of when his sister, who had been close to him, began smoking. She smoked because their family grew tobacco, and eventually died of lung cancer. In telling this story, Gore uses pathos, again appealing to the audience’s emotions. This story is a weak analogy since it is completely unrelated to global warming, yet is still able to help his argument. Aside from using anecdotes, Gore creates scenarios as a way of allowing the audience to better understand his arguments.
