Recently, the alarming rates of obesity in our contemporary society has been due to the lack of active behaviours starting from a young age in which the younger generation spends a large amount of their childhood watching television. Both concerned and disappointed, Zan Smith’s pragmatic article titled “Beach Lessons”, published on the Child Monthly magazine, exposes the concerns of the increasing amount of time children spends viewing television and playing video games and should, therefore, be minimized. Accompanying her informative piece are two photographs that are contrasted and accentuates the importance of a child’s youth. Furthermore, Smith targets parents of young children in an attempt to encourage parents to take their kids outside …show more content…
Opening her piece with an anecdote, supported by her reflective tone, Smith captivates the audience towards her own experiences of a mother. Her invigorating story of her three toddlers “squabbling” and “constant demands” obliges the reader to be more interested in what she is saying as it is a relatable situation for most mothers. Furthering upon this, Smith shifts to an informative tone as she addresses the epidemic of obese children due to “spending over 70% of their days being sedentary”, confronting the parents with shocking statistics, the parents of young children are aroused by fear and is urged to reconsider their responsibility as a parent. Moreover, Smith confidently provokes the readers by asking them rhetorical questions and then answering them, proving that the answer is obvious, just like the problem. Hence, Smith’s use of a visual representation of two children who are projected as disconnected and slightly inhumane, digs into the emotions of the audience, creating an impersonal and sinister mood. By doing this, …show more content…
This is used to compare the visual from before, in which the children looked as if they weren’t human and detached from one another. Dominating the image are two young children who are laughing and entertaining themselves with a spade and shovel, portraying the immediate shift in behaviour once they are initiating in proper social activities. Thus, readers are enlightened and encouraged to stand up and be apart of the solution. Smith also provides the audience with a range of advantages in taking the kids outsides, from no more “arguments and demands” to “a child’s first ecstatic experience of buoyancy”; they are positioned to prevent further interactions with screens by allowing them to experience the outside world and enhance their “world of senses” and “childhood

The subject of Allan Richarz’s “Bureaucrats remain fixated on protecting kids from that terrifying condition known as ‘childhood’” is the style of parenting expected in Canada compared to Japan. In the title of the article, Richarz included the words “bureaucrats remain fixated on protecting kids”. This is expanded upon in the third paragraph where Allan writes “children are inculcated on an upbringing of helicopter parenting, fostered by a regime of smothering government nanny-stateism.” The phrase “helicopter parenting” and how children are “inculcated”, the act of instilling something by persistent instruction, by it proves that the subject is the style of parenting expected in Canada because a helicopter parent is a parent who closely monitors their child’s experiences and actions. Furthermore, the phrase “latest contretemps over children not receiving 24/7 supervision in Canada” shows that in Canada,

Olivia Seeney ENGL 305 The Art of the Essay 3/22/17 Insert Flap A and Throw Away Analysis The main point of this essay was to point out to the reader the ridiculous state of human nature when presented with a situation that is outside of our expertise. As we observe the narrator’s struggle to put together this cardboard toy, his use of both overstatement and understatement show the progression of his frustration with this task. One example of this ironic language can be found in the first sentence when the narrator states “I made a most interesting discovery: the shortest, cheapest, method of inducing a nervous breakdown ever perfected. (Perelman)”
“Pushed” is featured once again and is both sterile and nonchalant. This important moment and painfully emotional time of giving birth is described with no emotion. This act lacks care. To further demonstrate this lack of care “she doesn't miss a day” of work (35). Although seemingly she doesn’t have a choice, she is notably choosing work over caring for her child.
Consequently, one of the two men that are stationed behind this child seems to be smiling and enjoying the fact that they are terrorizing this child, while the other seems to be angry or fed up with the fact that a child is even in the equation. All of this strongly adds to the appeal of pathos which strengthens the posters' effect that it has on the audience’s feelings or emotions of a child being left home alone by themselves. The audience viewing this poster may feel a sense of sadness along with a bit of anger because they may feel bad that a child is left home by himself during a family vacation and on top of that, it is also the holidays. The sense of anger may come because the viewer may be angry at the child’s family and think to themselves, “what kind of people leave their child behind and dos not come back to get them?” Also in the background of the picture are Christmas lights and snow which helps the viewer understand that this film is developing around the holiday

In the NY Times article “Why the Beach Is a Bummer,” Roxane Gay exploits the beach and the ways it never actually lives up to the expectation many have when summer comes around. Gay speaks of her childhood on the beaches of Haiti and how beautiful it was, but how different it is in the United States because there's such a high expectation for the beach since many areas aren’t surrounded by them. “The beach becomes a kind of utopia — the place where all our dreams come true”(Gay), meaning the beach becomes romanticized by so many when in reality there’s just sand in places where it doesn't belong whether in your book or on your body. Gay expresses how soon after arriving at the beach boredom approaches from having nothing to do besides
Under the microsystem of Bronfenbrenner’s model, it states that, all relationships are “bidirectional”, where both the adults and the children, effect and influenced each other’s behaviour (Berk, 2013). Through our personal experiences with children, we agree with the above theory. Hence, we choose the topic on Mother-Baby Interaction and Child’s needs. We believe in the bonding and the positive interaction between a mother and her child, will lead to the optimum wellbeing of her child. In my opinion, having a partner that complement one another is vital in doing group assignments.
History recalls Winston Churchill as one of the most accomplished orators that the world has ever known. Among his immortalized speeches, “We Shall Fight on the Beaches,” stands out because of Churchill’s exceptional capacity to deploy the full extent of his rhetorical skills to impact profoundly on the perceptions of his audience. The remarkable speech was presented to the House of Commons on the 4th June 1940 at a time when Nazi Germany was on the offensive across Europe. Churchill sought to prepare his people for a possible invasion of Britain by the belligerent Nazi forces and state his earnest resolve to protect the motherland. Throughout his speech, he used pathos, logos, and ethos in a manner that accentuated the profundity of his message and awakened the British people to the need for absolute sacrifice and asked them to brace for a protracted struggle.
