RHETORICAL ANALYSIS
Analyzing the codes used in the University of Arizonas Natural Science On-line Class Attendance Policy, a genre emerges disparaging the traditional view that knowledge is sharpened through the exchange of ideas. To make the class more appealing to non-traditional students the University has designed an attendance policy which does not eliminate traditional forms of interaction, but instead devalues them subversively thus discounting their necessity. Connotations within the policy divert the unsuspecting student into a particular learning mode. This mode, unappreciative of the insights a typical class would normally culture, does not encourage the student to be "present" mentally, an imperative aspect of becoming educated in a cyber class. Therefore by establishing the existence of these de-prioritizing codes, and the extent to which they must inevitably shape the interpretation of the text, we can clarify the level of interaction the policy genuinely intends. We see then the probability of students relating to the individualistic tone of the policy and discounting the requirements to attend to and with others.
A rhetorical perspective emphasizing specifically the mechanisms of language utilized in the policy allows a less biased examination of it. The author initiates the use of codes, which manipulate aspects of communication and direct the reader subconsciously to an underlying agenda. Simply he guides students responses through style and implication. The author is deliberate, yet subtle in approach. He recognizes some students' have reasons for opting to take such a course, so he gears the policy towards generic commonality- he wrote to the student who desired convenience rather than human contact. Thus whether they fuel pre-existing notions or they coerce the reader into following the policy's understated design, these codes ultimately dehumanize the classroom for perspective students. Codes in this policy echo the contemporary craving for isolation even as it appears to suggest attending sites and connections with other students.
The particulars surrounding the relatively new cyber space attendance have been left vague, and there lacks clarification and guidelines. Clear boundaries and expectations have been omitted deliberately. The author uses this device to infuse a sense of individualism into the policy. For example, he does require his students to "fully participate in this class by making connections with other instructors and students through e-mail and threaded discussions on the Internet," [3, Course Description], but he does not stipulate the extent to which these connections be made. Some form of communication is considered valuable, but the amount has been left to student discretion.
I strive to be a veterinarian because I love animals and I enjoy taking care of them. Ever since the beginning of the human race there has been veterinary medicine. Agriculture and the domestication of animals began around 3000 B.C. However, there aren’t many records on the failures and successes of the early veterinarians. The early Egyptian, Babylonian, and Hindu civilizations were the first to leave some records of veterinarian medicine. We didn’t first get veterinary hospitals until about 250 B.C. In 1862 the Department of Agriculture (USDA) was created. However, the American Veterinary Medical Association wasn’t found until 1863 after many unsuccessful attempts at organization. “In 1884, another milestone was passed with enactment of the Hatch Act, creating the Bureau of Animal Industry within the Department of Agriculture (Swope 19).” In the last 25 years veterinary medicine has assumed a leading role in the advancement of many researches. Some of them are the advancement of research in the medical use of atomic energy, in diseases common to humans and animals, etc.
On April 3, 1964, Malcom X published his famous speech named “The Ballot or the Bullet” and on 1963, the author Martin Luther King Jr. wrote a letter from jail to respond to eight white clergymen, who criticism him for unwise, untimely and extreme. The purposes of both writers are fight for civil rights and black liberation. They both use ethos, pathos and logos in their writings, which extremely useful in getting to their point to persuade the audiences to fight for their belief. Despite there are different between how they use these strategies but both use it very effective and produce very persuasive writings.
I am extremely interested in pursuing my life career as a veterinary technician because I believe any animal’s welfare and stability is just as important as a human being’s. I absolutely...

Many people have lost their pets and close family members because there is no way to get the help or medical attention that the animal so desperately needed. Every day in the United States, veterinarians are working hard to save animal’s lives. People will always continue to want and to breed pets. Therefore, to help and cure all these pets, a steady stream of veterinarians will be needed for many years to come. Over the years, the requirements and processes to becoming a veterinarian have changed. To become a successful veterinarian one must complete all necessary education and on the job training, be friendly and love animals, and have a burning passion to help both the pet and the pet owner.
Pets are becoming not only just a pet but an actual family member instead. Everyone who has a pet must take their animals to a veterinarian to assure that it will live a happy healthy life. Have you ever wondered exactly what all a veterinarian does throughout days? I can assure everyone that the life of a veterinarian is not as easy as it may seem. Veterinarians must care for the sick and healthy animals. Not only must they diagnose problems animals pay be having they must also treat them. Veterinarians also must give preventative medications to animals mainly earlier in animal’s lives but check ups also. Animals, just like humans must have test ran on them if needed or x-rays if needed. When animals are in need of surgery of any kind, veterinarians are the one who perform the surgery with the assistance of their technicians. When animals are having surgery a veterinarian is also the one who must give them their anesthesia for surgeries and they are responsible for waking them up much takes much caution. Not all a veterinarians’ work is hands on. Some of their work is over the phone advising pet owners with information when needed. For example, birthing, feeding, abnormal behaviors, or breeding are all topics a veterinarians may have to assist pet owners with (Chronicles Guidance Publications). Just as a Doctor is to a human, a veterinarian is to an animal. Only animals cannot talk so a veterinarian must be able to observe normal and abnormal animal behaviors. All veterinarians have a list of different tasks that occupy work hours day by day. No day will ever be repeated twice!
Have you ever felt a chest pain, sudden dizziness, weakness, fatigue, etc.? If you answered “Yes” to any of this, it can be Atherosclerosis. On this paper I’m going explain in detail what does Atherosclerosis means. What are the causes, symptoms, treatments? Can we melt the fatty plaques naturally? And more different information in relation to this subject. Atherosclerosis is not an illness that you get from one day to another, actually is an illness that by age, high pressure, the type of your diet, lack of exercise, even people with diabetes would have atherosclerosis with the time. But is not something that cannot be treated, you can go to the doctor for a checkup, change of diet, increase your physical exercise, etc.
Coronary heart disease came in the public eye in the mid-20th century as a disease of pandemic magnitudes and it continues to be a major cause of death in the western world. The fundamental cause of coronary heart disease is Atherosclerosis. The term “atherosclerosis” is the combination of two Greek words which correctly imply the elements of the lesion. The first being “athero” the greek work for gruel which parallels to the necrotic core at the base plaque formation, and “sclerosis” from the Greek word hardening, corresponding to the fibrous cap on the outer layer of the plaque. (Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaque : Strategies for Diagnosis and Management, 1, 2)
Looking back at my rhetorical analysis in writing 150, to sum it up, it was horrendous. It became exceedingly obvious that I had skipped the prewriting step. Forgoing this step caused choppy sentences, multiple grammatical errors, and horrendous flow. The rough draft ended up looking like a collection of jumbled up words. The first attempted felt so bad, I started over entirely. After the review in class, I used the examples to focus my ideas and build off what other people had done. For example, the review helped me to clarify my knowledge and use of Kairos. Once done, it was peer reviewed by my group again. All the other group members commented that I had good ideas, but bad flow and grammatical errors. After revising their respective points and
Veterinarians work with animals, both big and small. The types of animals veterinarians work with vary from all different types and sizes. From small animals like your dogs, cats, or ferret to the bigger food animals like cows, horses, or sheep. Outside the clinic getting to client ranches and farms may be necessary to care for the larger breeds of animals. Annually, veterinarians salaries range from $52,530 - $157,390. Most veterinarians have to work inside and outside the clinic. As a veterinarian, you have to be able to analyze the situation and work through it even though it might not be the best . Veterinarians risk being kicked, bitten, or scratched by frightened animals that may have diseases, which could give them diseases. Veterinarians must be compassionate to the animals and to their owners. They must be able to stay calm when the pet owner is angry or upset. They also need to be sympathetic to animal clients and their owners. Being able to use their decision making skills to decide how to treat the animals on the spot is very important in being a good animal doctor. As well as decision making, they have to be able to communicate with others during an operation. One trait a veterinarian must have is manual dexterity, which is having steady hands for operations. Most often, veterinarians work night and day as well as additional hours. They must be ready at all times of the day or night to help sick and
Working with animals has been a dream of mine since childhood. I was raised next door to the town veterinarian, Dr. Murphy. He specialized in farm animals, which my family raised, so he visited our house on a regular basis. He knew I loved to hear stories about his patients and always entertained me, no matter how busy he was. When I was 10, Dr. Murphy gave me a copy of “All Creatures Great and Small” by James Herriot. The book told the story of a country veterinarian and his daily work. To this day, that book remains one of my favorites and always renews my interest in animals.
Her entire body ached, but at least her legs were functional and her head wasn't pounding. The air-conditioner was on full-blast, but she was wrapped in a blanket. The phone was in Roy's hand and he was talking to Jamie on the other end. She only heard bits and pieces, and when they finally hung up, Roy carefully eased himself out from behind her.
Squeezing Ric's hand tighter, Serena still could not look at him, she did not even look at Guy, and she just looked out into the empty space, tears starting to flood her eyes. Her emotions really getting the better of her, and she did not like that, she knew she was stronger than this.
In “The Laptop Ate My Attention span”, Abbey Ellin describes the advantages and disadvantages of the internet being used in the classroom. Although she does include different types of schools, the author focuses in on business school students. She explains to us that an increasing amount of college campuses are choosing what students can or cannot do with their laptop while in class. Ellin describes what students do use their computer for in school and while some students are starting their own business others are chatting away or just not spending their time wisely. With it being that these are the future leaders of america and the people with access to a higher education, Ellin would expect them to have some sense of manners when it comes to what they are using their computer for during class time. The author gives us an example that a student knows better than to walk out of a
