Here’s the reality,” Washington speaks straightforwardly. All else in the speech rests on on this unembellished detail—the timing is the situation that establishes the urgency of the moment, the reason for the place he is about to clear. 2) Washington is humble in the opening paragraphs, forming the ethos of a practical man and, as he highlights, one equipped to be a spokesman for his race. He appreciation to the leaders of “this magnificent Exposition” for identifying “the value and manhood of the American Negro.” 3) In paragraph three, Washington uses an analogy of a ship lost at sea to further criticize the culture of dependency of certain African-Americans in the South. In this analogy, the ship lost at sea represents African-Americans after
I believe the reason for this inspirational sermon was his way of thanking God for finally making it illegal to buy and sell slaves and for giving them the strength to endure and learn from what they went through. He was also thankful to God for sparing the future children from having to go through any of the suffering that their fathers and grandfathers had to go through. He was also grateful to the antislavery societies and individuals for all of their hard work against slavery as well. In this inspirational sermon, Reverend Jones described the cruelty of the slave trade. He was convinced the slaves believed the same God that allowed them to suffer during slavery was the same God who intervened on their behalf and put an end to all of their pain and suffering.
Art is good because This pathos and ethos made people, no matter the North or the South, to feel that they are in unity. Both sides were suffering the same war and urged to end it, while they shared a same religion. God plays an important role to connect the people together, which enhances Lincoln’s credibility in his speech besides his position as a president and occasion of this speech. Lincoln ended his speech by claiming that they would “strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations” (Wilhoit 138). This pathos describes how Lincoln would care for his people and how he would put the task of helping the people suffering from the war first, serving as a strong pathos since it is not only emotionally affecting his people, but also encouraging and giving them hope.
Pitts uses pathos to evoke sympathy multiple times from his audience. In his article he describes the scene as “ we saw proud towers disintegrate as sand castles, mangled bodies pulled from rubble, people with tear-streaked faces holding up photos of missing loved ones. Pitts uses this imagery to make his audience remember 9/11 and the pain of all the families. Pitts used pathos later in the article, this time to evoke another type of emotion; this time remorse. In the article Pitts writes ”But the events of that baby’s birth day showed that others do not see the fine distinctions into which we put so much stock.
Breanne Gray Characterization Paper October 24th, 2013 Period 9 A True Gentleman “He had announced in the schoolyard that day before that Scout Finch’s daddy defended n-words,” Cecil Jacobs (Lee 74). In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch plays the role of the protagonist who fights through Maycomb’s thick racism. Finch demonstrates a very strong sense of justice and teaches his children the same. No matter what the situation is he maintains his integrity. His character is so sterling in nature that he could have been boring or irritating if Harper Lee had not written him so beautifully and believably.
Throughout his life and up until the day he dies, Malcolm X tries to pursue this ultimate goal of seeing white racism in a positive light and making something good come out of the events that happened in his life. The four factors that greatly influenced Malcolm X to become a successful activist were his family life, growing up and living in an urban ghetto environment, prison, and his religion. The horrific events of Malcolm’s childhood would have led anyone else to a depression and a downfall. However, these events sparked his reasoning for becoming a successful activist. When Malcolm Little was in the womb, members of the Ku Klux Klan broke all the windows in his family’s home in Omaha, Nebraska.
Ewart was an American who had gotten a disease that causes his organs to shrink for a long time. He chose to die by euthanasia, to end his pain of his own accord finally. He said that Motoneuron disease made him tired and he had no will to live. If he was in so much pain by the disease, he would still want to live, but there were too much pain. From Steven Ertelt’s article, we knew that Ewart said, if he chose to live, he would suffer illness, but it did not mean he could cure the disease and have a new life (2008).
Jake was willing to serve his country, and paid for it dearly. Jake was mutilated by the war, and because of his injury rendered impotent. In this sense the world broke Jake, and took his life from him. For a lot of men, losing something like what Jake lost is seen as a fate worse than death. After Jake was wounded, and was lying bandaged up in The Sun Also Rises the colonel gave him a speech saying, “you, a foreigner, an Englishman… have given more than your life!” (Ernest Hemingway, pg.
The South is literally stuck in the past and its people have grown accustomed to the way of life. In ‘The Witness” Uncle Jimbilly the reason he could be so “impersonal and faraway (in) his tone and manner talking about slavery” (559) is because in the South it was just a fact of life and as much as the slaves hated it they were afraid of change. The entire South was and the major change was never made now it will never be made. The significance of Cash’s quote and “The Witness” is showing the world how the South has coped and overcame everything thrown their way without having to make all of the major changes that the North did. It also points out the very interesting fact that change is not always better and that sticking with what one knows works could be just as good if not the better option.
