Aengus wanted to find love by finding his glimmering girl. Spitz needed to remain as the lead dog or kill Buck to stay alive, and Buck needed to kill Spitz to overthrow his dictatorship. They were driven to stay alive, or find love.
Aengus was driven to find his glimmering girl so he could experience love. These ideas are shown in the passage as “I will find out where [his glimmering girl] has gone, And kiss her lips and take her hands; and walk among the dappled grass” (Yeats, 19-21). The author is expressing how Aengus searched for his glimmering girl so he could do what other couples who were in love could do. Sadly, Aengus was not successful because he wasted his life. This is expressed in the passage as “I am old with wandering” (Yeats,

This is shown many times in the passage but one quote truly stands out which is, “Buck hated [Spitz] with a bitter and deathless hatred” (London, 27). This was because Spitz was a trickster and a deceiver, a ruthless dictator, and cunning. He hoodwinked the dogs and had no trouble killing one of them. This can be shown in the passage as “Spitz ran out his tongue and laughed again” (London, 27). Spitz laughed as the other wolfish and savage dogs annihilated Curly causing Buck to loathe him even more. Spitz had no shame or remorse after this, after all, he was a dog of the wild. Buck’s mission was successful for Spitz died and his dictatorship disappeared into oblivion. In the text, it does not clearly state that Spitz died, but it can be inferred from, “The dark circle became a dot on the moon-flooded snow as Spitz disappeared from view” (London, 67). This can be inferred that Buck did not kill Spitz but he was the one who caused Spitz to die. As a result of this Buck became a wild dog, a primordial beast never to go back to the sunny hills of the Santa Clara Valley. This is shown in the passage as, “the dominant primordial beast” (London, 67). This was what Buck had become not only when he killed Spitz but when John Thornton …show more content…
This is shown in the passage as, “[Spitz] divined in Buck a dangerous rival” (London, 44). He wanted this so he could stay alive, control others, and appear as the best. Spitz was unsuccessful because he died when Buck bested him. This is shown in the passage as, “Buck stood and looked on, the successful champion, the dominant primordial beast” (London, 67). This was when Buck had beat Spitz in their fight to the death. Spitz’s mission was an unnecessary one because he caused his owners pain and he was a bully to other dogs and as a result of this many dogs died or were injured and he died. This would not have happened if Spitz was not such a jerk or a
Jonathan Kozol revealed the early period’s situation of education in American schools in his article Savage Inequalities. 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. In the article, he used rhetorical strategies effectively to describe what he saw in that situation, such as pathos, logos and ethos.
Curley and the others were looking for Lennie and wanted to exterminate him; they were angry and hated Lennie. If Curley would have found Lennie, he would have shot him. But that way, Lennie would have died afraid and sad. His death would have been very violent.
In the book Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer wrote about Christopher McCandless, a nature lover in search for independence, in a mysterious and hopeful experience. Even though Krakauer tells us McCandless was going to die from the beginning, he still gave him a chance for survival. As a reader I wanted McCandless to survive. In Into the Wild, Krakauer gave McCandless a unique perspective. He was a smart and unique person that wanted to be completely free from society. Krakauer included comments from people that said McCandless was crazy, and his death was his own mistake. However, Krakauer is able to make him seem like a brave person. The connections between other hikers and himself helped in the explanation of McCandless’s rational actions. Krakauer is able to make McCandless look like a normal person, but unique from this generation. In order for Krakauer to make Christopher McCandless not look like a crazy person, but a special person, I will analyze the persuading style that Krakauer used in Into the Wild that made us believe McCandless was a regular young adult.

Taylor Swift is once again under fire over the allegedly racist theme of her new music video for “Wildest Dreams.”
In the novel The Stranger by Albert Camus, the narrator’s monotonous tone makes the reader experience a lack of emotion and feeling. The novel starts off describing Mersault’s current job and how he must go on leave in order to attend his mother’s funeral. He and his mother have been disconnected for some time as they had come to a mutual agreement with her staying in an elderly home. Mersault, the main protagonist, did not have the money or time to tend to his mother. The elderly home was the best option for the both of them. When he returns home from the funeral, Mersault gets caught up in external affairs he should not be in. He ends up writing a break up letter to Raymond’s girlfriend, which drives the rest of the story. Raymond beats his
Pollan’s article provides a solid base to the conversation, defining what to do in order to eat healthy. Holding this concept of eating healthy, Joe Pinsker in “Why So Many Rich Kids Come to Enjoy the Taste of Healthier Foods” enters into the conversation and questions the connection of difference in families’ income and how healthy children eat (129-132). He argues that how much families earn largely affect how healthy children eat — income is one of the most important factors preventing people from eating healthy (129-132). In his article, Pinsker utilizes a study done by Caitlin Daniel to illustrate that level of income does affect children’s diet (130). In Daniel’s research, among 75 Boston-area parents, those rich families value children’s healthy diet more than food wasted when children refused to accept those healthier but
The movie trailer “Rio 2”, shows a great deal of pathos, ethos, and logos. These rhetorical appeals are hidden throughout the movie trailer; however, they can be recognized if paying attention to the details and montage of the video. I am attracted to this type of movies due to the positive life messages and the innocent, but funny personifications from the characters; therefore, the following rhetorical analysis will give a brief explanation of the scenes, point out the characteristics of persuasive appeals and how people can be easily persuaded by using this technique, and my own interpretation of the message presented in the trailer.

Buck – Even though ‘The Call of the Wild’ is written in third person. The events that surround the story are portrayed to be on Buck’s experiences. Buck is the protagonist of the story. Buck is a Strong, courageous, intelligent German Shepard that is taken from his California home and sold into slavery as a sled dog during the Klondike gold rush at the end of the nineteenth century. Buck figures out how to make due in this brutal environment by listening to the voice inside him. All through the story, Buck is extremely eager and dead set to be the leader of the group. His aspiration causes strain in the middle of he and Spitz, the previous leader. Buck goes from the civil and respectful dog to the bloodthirsty dog by killing Spitz and enjoying it "Buck stood and looked on, the successful champion, the dominant primordial beast who had made his kill and found it good."(London, 22) The story discusses the relationship between domestic and primal instincts, but when Buck is taken and placed into the wild with other dogs something within him changes. The story proves that in order to survive moral nature must die which illustrates Buck’s change from the civilized dog to the primordial beast.
The Letter from Birmingham Jail was written by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in April of 1963. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of several civil rights activists who were arrested in Birmingham Alabama, after protesting against racial injustices in Alabama. Dr. King wrote this letter in response to a statement titled A Call for Unity, which was published on Good Friday by eight of his fellow clergymen from Alabama. Dr. King uses his letter to eloquently refute the article. In the letter dr. king uses many vivid logos, ethos, and pathos to get his point across. Dr. King writes things in his letter that if any other person even dared to write the people would consider them crazy.
He achieved an internal as well as external economy”(London 16). The primordial character that the environment awakened made Buck evolve as an individual becoming immune to the ordinary pain as well as immune to ordinary thoughts and feelings that he once had. He revived and developed the skills he needed to survive in the harsh conditions, and involuntarily he changed his character completely from civilized and trained dog to a savage and independent
