A Powerful Partnership Rhetorical Analysis

Based on the evidence from the passage, the author first talks about how they met, and became friends. Then, the author talks about how Anthony became more interested in women’s rights, because of Stanton. Not only that, but the author wrote about how they both wanted equal rights for women. Then, the author talks about how they worked together by finding equal rights and suffrage associations, organized annual conventions, met with lawmakers, and campaigned in several states. Not only that, but according to the text, “They also published The Revolution, a weekly newspaper that advocated for women’s rights, from 1868 to 1872, and co-edited the first three volumes

However, when thought of, most people remember her contributions to the women’s rights movement. She, and other feminists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, began to realize that there were numerous similarities between slaves and women. Both were fighting to get away from the male-dominated culture and beliefs. In 1848, these women began a convention in Seneca Falls, regarding women’s rights(Brinkley 330). They believed that women should be able to vote, basing their argument on the clause “all men and women are created equal”.

Women did not have many rights in the 19th century. They could not vote, serve on juries, if married could not keep wages or own property, and women could not get a good education. At a convention when two women tried to join a meeting they could not have a role in the proceeding. Later she made a convention that over 300 men and women showed up to. Then Stanton wrote the Declaration of Sediments that showed the rights they wanted.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott meet at a National Anti-Slavery Convention, which influenced them to hold a Women’s Rights Convention. In 1848 they held a national women’s rights convention, known as the Seneca Falls Convention. At the convention Elizabeth Cady Stanton created the “Declaration of Sentiments”. Proposed in the Declaration was “that all men and women are created equal”. Over 300 men and women gathered at Seneca Falls for the convention and unanimously voted for women to have the right to have equal rights as men.

For Elizabeth Cady Stanton it did not come easy, she went through many hard times to prove what she had believed in for years. This book give a very good understanding of Elizabeth Cady Stanton's life and the many struggles she had to overcome to get to where she was when she was finally satisfied with the work she had done. Stanton wrote, “It was often necessary to travel night and day, sometimes changing cars at midnight, and perhaps arriving at the destination half and hour or less before going on the platform, and starting again on the journey upon leaving it, in constant fever of anxiety (p. 121).” If it wasn’t for her and few other women who saw more potential in what women had to offer, i am not so sure that we wouldn’t be fighting the same fight they did all those years

A major theme in A&P is personal freedom. Throughout the story Updike uses metaphor for all elements in the story to implies the theme. At the beginning of the story, Sammy uses sarcastic tone to describe the customers as “sheep” and “houseslaves” which implies he is different from them in mindset. The way how Sammy talks about others shows his intellectual mind. He is not same as Stokesie who wants to be a manager one day.

For this rhetorical analysis essay I decided to reflect upon the somewhat recent documentary titled “The Social Dilemma”. From gen-zians to baby boomers, this film was dedicated to educating people on the impact of social media on today’s society as we have entered a tech-frenzy world. Just like many other people, I wanted to see what the craze was about when this film was produced back in 2020. From interviews with former tech company employees to societal examples, Jeff Orlowski used various rhetorical strategies to convey an important message within his world-famous film. Growing up during a time where social media was just developing and kids weren’t glued to their iPad’s, I have very clearly noticed the effects social media has had on,

America Adame Mrs.Gonzalez Engl 1302.S63 12 Feb ,2018 Women’s Suffrage Elizabeth is very well known for empowering the first movement in pushing for society especially men recognize women as actual citizens. She is especially known for the speech she did in Seneca falls and her use of rhetorical devices to make sure she has people’s attention and show how serious she was about the subject. In Seneca Falls Keynote Address, Elizabeth Cady Stanton uses anaphora’s, metaphors and allusion to persuade the audience to show that women should be treated equally just like men and should be more appreciated. Due to this speech it started the whole revolution in making sure women would be granted more rights as American citizens.

In the text Stanton states that all men and women were created equal like in paragraph two it says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal”. But this quote is not being supported because later on in the text Stanton goes on to say, “He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns”, This quote is showing that women will get everything taken away from them, the property they own to the money they make, showing that men have more rights than them because of gender inequality. Gender inequality was slowly starting to change because Stanton spoke up to all of the women and they were able to come up with the solution to bring up the problems they were facing and confront the men who were actually causing the problem which was stereotyping mostly white men. This solution in modern day time would absolutely work because bringing up the difficulties the women are facing will start to enlighten whoever is listening. By facing up to the people who are causing the problem women are able to get into the minds of more people so they can see what the actual struggle is, which is what Stanton did and which can be used in modern day struggles with

Stanton states, “When the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one portion of the family of man” (Stanton 1). Stanton used this line to start her declaration as Thomas Jefferson used it in the first line of the Declaration of Independence. Using such a well trusted piece of writing that helped shaped the United States increases her credibility which helps her case in her argument. Another point in Stanton’s view, “We hold these truths to be self-evident: in that all men and women are created equal” (Stanton 1). This line starts the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, but Stanton added in “women” instead of just “men”.

Anthony was raised as an independent and outspoken woman, and she never married anyone (Susan, History). Miss Anthony’s childhood and birth had affected her in many ways, especially her beliefs on women’s rights and what she did to help women gain more rights. Anthony chose to participate in civil disobedience to fight for women’s rights because she believed that women were equal to men, and they deserved the same rights. Anthony started out by wanting to speak at temperance rallies, but could not because she was a woman (Susan, House). If women could vote in elections, people would start taking them seriously in politics.

By including rhetorical devices such as analepsis and epanaphoras in her speech, women's activist, Cady Stanton in her Keynote Address manages to successfully convey her message on how the mistreatment of women's rights must come to an end. Throughout the essay, Mrs. Stanton had done an excellent job of identifying her audience and appealing to the common goal that was shared amongst one another. Due to the fact that the majority of the audience were female, Mrs. Stanton had to take an approach where her choice of words would spark a sense of empowerment rather than disenfranchise the attendees of the convention. Mrs. Stanton does this as she states “ Consider our costume far more artistic than theirs.

The passages are about the beggining of womens rights. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a giant contribution. Both passages express that. “The Birthplace of Women’s Rights” by Howard Mansfield and “A Powerful Partnership” by Jean McLeod and Karen Gibson both tell how Elizabeth begin and what she did to contribute. They tell about her story and how she helped get us here.

Stanton again emphasized women’s political rights and their ability for self-sovereignty that men obtained without question in society. The best example of her echoing her earlier “Sentiments…” comes in the beginning of the speech, where she states that women “must have the same rights as all other members, according to the fundamental principles of our government” and that “her rights and duties are still the same; individual happiness and development.” Stanton makes an allusion to a specific group of women toward the conclusion of her speech, where she states that a married women with children, wealth, “fortune and position, has a certain harbor of safety,” and that such a woman, she examples, contains all the abilities and virtues men so seek in other men. After this, she states that an uneducated women who is “trained to dependence with no resources in herself, must make a failure of any position in life.” This create a quagmire in her thinking.
