In the reading this week you will reveal the extraordinary journey of rhetorical analysis in efforts to understand the Bible. Studying the New Testament in Greek language is an awesome experience. Rhetorical analysis is when we look at literary work and add structure to it through proper examining of the Bible. Black tells us that rhetorical analysis is much needed when studying the New Testament (Black 80). Through rhetorical analysis we attempt to clarify and understand the Bible in all context. In recent years, rhetorical analysis have become popular among preachers. Rhetorical criticism is one of the steps in properly analyzing the scriptures or passages in the Bible. The rhetorical structure give a person the chance to see the meaning of the text in more than one perspective (Black 81). In my studying this week a new word chiasmus is used in rhetorical studying to draw attention to the passage. The chiasmus is the centerpiece of the passage and the main purpose.

Black speaks of tradition analysis how the books of the New Testament can sometimes be the final products long and complex process of compiling the writing and editing (Black 82). The Synoptic Gospel can be easily reviewed and criticize for different viewpoints of the meanings. The Redaction criticism regards how a person perceive the scripture.

Metanarrative Essay The Biblical metanarrative can be explained by a Christian as the true and triumphant story from the beginning in Genesis until the future is prophesied in Revelation. Others who may not be a Christian do not understand the true power and love God has over us and for us and may just simply see it as a story or a rule book that they don’t want to follow. They see the Bible and all the things and plans God has for us and our lives and just think they don’t want any part of it and instead they live in sin. It is important that these people not only learn the true story but understand it as well.
When reading The Sermon on the Mount, it is important to note who the intended audience was, the crowds of people who were there to witness Jesus. These crowds of people most likely were not the most educated; however, Jesus attempted to educate them about the Word of God. To facilitate his teaching, Jesus employed rhetorical techniques such as the metaphor. This crowd required simple and relatable ideas to become educated on his teachings of the Word of God.

The tone during the whole plot of in Brave New World changes when advancing throughout the plot, but it often contains a dark and satiric aspect. Since the novel was originally planned to be written as a satire, the tone is ironic and sarcastic. Huxley's sarcastic tone is most noticeable in the conversations between characters. For instance, when the director was educating the students about the past history, he states that "most facts about the past do sound incredible (Huxley 45)." Through the exaggeration of words in the statement of the director, Huxley's sarcastic tone obviously is portrayed. As a result of this, the satirical tone puts the mood to be carefree.

The world of rhetorical criticism relies heavily upon being able to identify artifacts and analyze them in a way that provides a better understanding of those artifacts and how they operate. The way in which one goes about performing a rhetorical criticism is explained by Sonja K. Foss (2009). She states that this process includes four steps which are selecting an artifact, analyzing an artifact, formulating a research question, and writing the essay. This process is a great one to follow across numerous types of criticism. It is important to understand these different types of criticism in order to use one rather than another when critiquing a particular artifact.
Introduction Teachers have become gateway keepers to providing education to students. Over the span of several years, teachers have been criticized for being unprepared, unable to adapt to different learning styles, and are increasing the number of students who aren’t learning. With this achievement gap increasing, it brings up the idea of what the education system is doing wrong and what improvements it needs to make. The education system needs to be redesigned to strengthen its curriculum, it’s connection to both practice and theory, and the idea of a powerful educator. The first aspect of this memo contains an interview with Diana Regalado De Santiago, a math teacher in the Socorro Independent School District for the past six years.

They see the bible as a literary masterpiece in which the authors used gorgeous imagery to strike at the heart of the reader to show them God’s greatness. In essence rhetorical critics want you to see the big picture instead of all the little side pictures. The J story of Genesis as well at times the P story is filled with imagery that is meant to show God’s power.
Before coming to NAU, I was unfamiliar with the idea of a rhetorical analysis. I had heard of ethos, logos, and pathos before, but I never learned how to find or utilize them in a paper. At first it was a challenge picking apart an article to find the rhetorical elements, but after looking for those pieces in several works it became easier and easier. It was interesting learning how each piece is so different from each other, but they work side by side to create an intriguing paper. The structure of a rhetorical analysis is fairly simple because you are already given the prongs for your these: ethos, logos, and pathos. The hard part of the paper is dividing up what

Introduction, then, is like a time where our eyes beholding a moment when a flower is blooming to its full shape. Second, the text can be introduced with narration of the events, or a description of the place and times amidst which the text was uttered by the sacred writers. Third, the text can recite some historical events or incidents. Fourth, a legitimate exordium often be made by placing alongside of the text some related principle familiar and admitted among the hearers (147). A striking introduction can be made by citing some usage or opinion prevalent among the hearers, which is opposed to the doctrine or precept of the text. For example, the Scripture says “to give is more blessed than to receive.” People will be mentally refreshed when they hear that giving party is more fortunate than the receiving party. Last, it can be formed by a skillful hypothesis, putting in a concrete form the unexpected doctrine to be
Thus, an effort is made to highlight how Bible interpretation – through its publication – has developed in the history of Christianity.
In our first class session we accomplished a lot, we learned about the key themes that can be found in the New testament and how one goes about questioning the themes and connecting the new and old testaments. The one major theme that we found to be one of the big ones of the New Testament was Jesus and all his deeds, death and resurrection. When this theme was first revealed to the class, I thought well obviously! But once we began to talk about all the other themes such as restoration, redemption, the church and the building relationship between the Jews and Gentiles. And Dr. Hall began to connect each theme together with a link and with each connection every last theme eventually led back to Jesus and his deeds, death and resurrection
