A Rhetorical Analysis Of Richard Sherman By Richard Sherman

The NFL (National Football League) is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America and although it has been very successful to this point, in many ways it is the epitome of dysfunction. The league faces a multitude of problems, many of which are very complex. Many argue that since been chosen to succeed the retiring Paul Tagliabue in 2006 Roger Goodell has worked primarily towards improving the NFL for the sake of the players, coaches, refs, and perhaps most importantly the fans who actually make the organization viable. Sadly, those who hold this idealized view are delusional and should take into account that NFL is an unincorporated nonprofit association and that Goodell’s number-one priority always has to be appeasing the owners who fund each of the 32 teams (bar the Green Bay Packers who own the rare distinction of being the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional team in the entire country). This makes addressing problems very difficult and many have been unsolved ...

After I read the Smitherman's piece, the main argument that Smitherman is trying to tell us is that everyone has their own way of language. There are people with different ethnicity in America. Every communities has their own language and accents, noone should be telling anyone that they have language problem. Not allowing a person to use their language is racism. This is the problem Smitherman is trying to address in his piece of writing. I think by her writing this is to let people know and feel what is going on in the world. Her audience might be the Black American community. She wants the people to know that there is nothing wrong with speaking their own language anywhere and they should be able to speak how they want.

Syntax - In the novel, Tim O’Brien uses different types of writing methods to effectively convey his messages. For example, in the chapter the Lives of the Dead, he uses a repetitive writing style that noticeably helps out the tone. He would insert some dialogue then he would “enter” a couple times and entered into a more self-reflective section of text, which was usually much deeper and thoughtful than the normal text. Then he would slowly revert back to the normal method of text with occasional dialogue then, again, he would click enter a few times and start with an introductory self-thoughtful sectinon of text. I noticed that the thing that he reflected or thought about were always things that meant a lot to him. He would speak of Linda,

War can not be fully described in just words, humans have to experience it to know how it really is. In passage 1 from “The Things They Carried”, a fictional memoir by Tim O'brien, the narrator describes the contradictory nature of war. O’brien uses rhetorical strategies to characterize the experience of war. O’brien uses imagery, anaphora, and paradox to guide readers understand the experience of war through fictional writing.

Chief Seattle responds to Governor Isaac I. Stevens’ offer of buying the remaining Indian territory and moving the natives onto reservations by illustrating the Indians’ perspective and different experience of the white man’s expansion across America through the use of rhetorical devices. Seattle’s diction, use of figurative language, and tone connects his purpose to the emotions that he conveys — that of his own resignation and acceptance of the White Chief’s new terms for a new country but also his spirit and Native pride.

Tim O'Brien portrays the narrator as knowledgeable and simplistic. The narrator is portrayed as very knowledge due to the precise description of every item that each of the soldiers possessed. Even though the narrator is limited he seems to be highly reliable because he goes into a deep description of each souvenir or weapon that each troop possessed and the meaning that each had, so there is no reason to have mistrust in the narrator. When the narrator narrates, he uses simple, to the point syntax rich in imagery to convey the message he is trying to get to the reader but in simplistic sentences. This implies that Tim O’Brien is very knowledgeable himself and his writing technique purposely flows to create an easy interpretation for the reader.

#2 Staples structure his essay around personal experiences in order to build a connection with his audience and also to assist his readers with understanding how he felt under these circumstances. I feel that all of his personal experiences mentioned help him further his claim on how young black men are being incorrectly characterized as dangerous and unstable. For example, when he was 22, he was walking down an empty street, and the woman in front of him "cast back a worried glance" and "picked up her pace and was soon running". This experience highlighted how uncomfortable and uneasy this woman was at the sight of Staples. Although he did nothing to upset her, she was still terrified of him, due to his ethnicity and age.

With the Industrial Era flourishing to its full potential in the United States, the Transcendental Movement was established and brought forth a new perspective on the relationship between mankind and nature. While the Industrial Era led to the development of distinct social classes, unity, and regulations, transcendentalists viewed the Industrial Revolution with dismay, and advocated for self-reliance, individualism, and free-thought. More importantly, however, transcendentalists emphasized the importance of nature, and often attempted to expose the beauty that resides in nature. For instance, in a letter written to his friend Ralph Emerson, Henry Thoreau utilizes metaphors, rhetorical questions, and personification in an attempt to comfort

Ralph Ellison uses this quote early on in the book, page six, to set a tone for the novel and to set a tone for how the reader should perceive the novel. The tone of the quote itself is first negative and pessimistic towards the way history plays itself out, but then has a positive spin at the end by going on to explain how this negativity has helped shape Invisible Man’s identity. The reader should perceive the novel in the same fashion, maybe skeptical or pessimistic in the beginning because of the stories that have been told, but also open to the positives that can be taken away from the story, even if there is still some negatives to accompany those positives. To set this tone Ellison uses a metaphor to illustrate how history in the world
