Rhetorical Analysis: The First Timed Write By Wendell Chavez

284 Words1 Page

Two timed writes rest on the desk before me, titled rhetorical analysis. The first contains an analysis about Wendell Phillips’s speech to persuade Northerners to allow African Americans to serve in the military. Written in October, the paper was given a five while the second timed write was awarded a seven. The analysis talks about an article in a magazine written by Cesar Chavez who makes his argument about nonviolent resistance, that timed write was written six months later in April. The first Timed Write starts off with a list in the introduction, which Dunbar strongly opposes since it reflects poor skills and novelty writing. The essay lists the rhetorical devices found in Phillips’s speech but cannot seem to explain their utility in corroborating

It seems like during that period, the inequality existed everywhere and no one had the ability to change it; however, Kozol tried his best to turn around this situation and keep track of all he saw.

    Despite there being hundreds of video game releases every year, most of these games are unoriginal and therefore unplayable. There are countless video game genres, but one of the most popular genres in the past few years have been the zombie games, also called survival games. I was thoroughly convinced that all the games in this genre were clichéd and overdone, until I played the video game The Last of Us. Even though it is a survival game, the focus is not on gruesome zombies or gratuitous violence, making it already vastly different from the others. Instead, the focus is on telling a story. Between the gorgeous graphics, serene music, and flawless acting, it already goes beyond being just another “zombie game,” but this isn’t even accounting

    The political climate in the United States has recently been very intense, all beginning with Trump and his negative remarks against the immigrant community. His most famous and derogatory words calling Mexicans rapists and drug dealers (Reilly), sparked a huge uproar in the defense of the Mexican people who have chosen to immigrate to the United States. Along his path to the presidency he has time after time belittled Mexicans and their culture. That, however, has not stopped the Mexican band, Calibre 50 from shedding light on an all too real journey and attempting to fortify their fans for a common cause. Almost a year into Trump’s presidency Calibre 50 released the music video for their song, “El Corrido de Juanito.” The music video follows the journey of a man crossing the border to which it then shows him trying to make a life for himself in the United States as a gardener and a chef.

    For years the LGBT community has been consistently denied the same rights as their heterosexual counterparts, and it wasn’t until last year that same sex marriage became legal throughout the United States. However, they are not the only minorities being discriminated against in the United States. That is why Dolores Huerta, a well-known civil rights activist, points out that people who have experienced oppression should come together to achieve equality. In her keynote speech at the 21st National Conference on LGBT Equality, Dolores Huerta uses ethos, logos, and pathos as an effective way to inspire her audience to make a change in society.

    Since rhetoric was established, arguments have been the basis of both communication and literature over the course of history. As one of the oldest and widely-used devices in rhetoric, writers –over the centuries –have used arguments to present issues to their readers in a context that uses carefully-chosen, well-composed arguments, while, at the same time, supports their cases with sound and logical reasoning in order to convince their readers that their claims are good or true. Many people, especially during the late eighteenth century and from then on, have composed arguments that were powerful enough to begin a war. Other works of rhetoric have empowered discriminated groups to band together and revolt against their oppressors in order
