Summary Of The Unplanned Human Experiment

In the midst of all the turmoil and cynicism in the current media, one can find that there is some good beneath it all, like a flower that blossomed from a sea of concrete. Victor Villaseñor acknowledges the fact that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel when he reflected upon his keynote address, where he criticized on English teachers, bashed, smacked, and tortured, their students. Based on the novel, Burro Genius, by Victor Villaseñor, the story displays Villaseñor’s education and his struggles with abusive teachers. In an excerpt from his book, Villaseñor affects the reader emotionally through the use of stylistic devices and imagery to depict the intensity of afterthoughts of his keynote address. Villaseñor uses these rhetorical

“Even their name is made out of limp French Fries,” she asserted. “Why would you want to eat their food? To her, the M in McDonald’s looked like two yellow, bent-over fries.” The imagery here allows the reader to picture the M in their mind as two fries that are bent because they are covered in grease. Through this vivid description of the M, the author displays her children’s hatred towards McDonalds, the fast food chain that every child loves.

Carelessly, the working middle and the high class people always forget about what the poor working class has to do in life to survive. In a passage from the novel, The Working Poor Invisible In America, David Shipler compares the poor working class wages to the amount of food they are able to buy. Shipler is able to creatively inform the audience using description, exemplification, and cause and effect what the life a poor working class citizen does everyday.     David Shipler shapes an image in the minds of all of his readers with his selective word choice. As a result of not having the money to pay for food, parents are forced to let their children starve, and as a result those children start looking “listless”.

The last way the writer persuades the audience to make the commercial effective is through logical reasoning and well-thought-out situations. The writer did not exaggerate advertising. However, the writer used a logical situation that would keep the audience’s attention and allow them to see the product multiple times within the commercial. For example, if the writer of the commercial stood in a room and said buy our Chevy truck there would not be many people interested in the product. However, the writer used a logical situation, a dog and a young boy, to interest the audience and keep them guessing what the commercial is about.

M.E. Cohen’s cartoon focuses on persuading parents and teachers to guide children to make the right decisions about health. Cohen illustrates the problem adults have caused on the matter of children’s health due to the adults inability to listen to their own advice.

“The Politics of Muscle,” an essay written by Gloria Steinem, is successful in effectively comparing and contrasting how society's standards implies that there is a difference in strength between men and women. Through the use of different rhetorical claims such as pathos, ethos, and logos, as well as a great deal of subjective and objective claims, Steinem establishes credibility which allows her to create a well-crafted essay. Although, the essay can be perceived as biased since it does not include a great deal of information on the perception of strength on men, its intended audience is women therefore, that aspect does not affect the overall quality of Steinem’s writing. In fact, it only strengthens it considering she expects her audience to share the same opinions and feelings as her. These reasons explain why overall, Steinem does a very good job of persuading the reader to think differently about the perception of women’s strength.

Even though this essay lacks in some aspects, the message of the advertisement is so strong that it makes up for what is

As we move through this assignment, you will discover that advertising is a complex system of interactive interpretive assumptions based upon the creators’ rhetorical knowledge of audience, purpose, and thesis, and that you, as the reader of these ads, must possess your own knowledge of audience, purpose, and thesis in order to interpret the goals (hidden agendas) and cultural signs within the ad. In short, to discover how the ad works to achieve its purpose. Your ability to efficiently show your audience an ad so that they may read it with you, as if over your shoulder, will allow you the privilege of discussing with your readers what you have shown. This dialogue is the very basis of good analytical writing.

Advertisements in public schools is a controversial subject due to the effects it has on the children. It’s no surprise that public schools are underfunded. They are itching for money.

Martin Gansberg essay, "Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn't Call the Police," describes a true scene that allowed the death of a neighbor or friend for others. Gansberg claims that people in this society should be more involved in taking action when witnessing life-threatening actions between other people. He expanded on his theme by giving a real homicide that occurred as a story. His planned audience was towards anyone in general, especially to those who witness violence between other people.

In this swift and modern society, advertising is believed to have played a considerable part in human’s daily life by rapidly providing them with the latest information of products which meet their quality requirements. Among tremendous means of advertisement, TV may be considered the most substantial one having a wild field of influence on the customer’s perspective. However, behind each advertising, there are obviously underlying messages which not everyone can fully comprehend. Personally, I claim that TV advertisements do include some gender ideologies, especially for women when they are normally represented as sex objects or housewives, etc.; meanwhile; men are portrayed to be jurisdictional with their careers. In order to clarify my argument, I would like to study rigorously four TV advertisements which illustrate
