How does Tone effect Rhetorical Situations? We all know that common motherly saying, “Don’t give me that tone young man.” But what does it actually mean? Well, tone is a general attitude or expression that shows how a person feels about the subject. Tone could be serious, or playful depending on the situation.

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.

The authors tone is what the think of the topic they are writing about. As in what there ideas and views are. They express this in how they write their characters and their views or what the authors say in the paper. For this topic I chose Going to Japan by Barbra Kingsolver. I am using this story because Kingsolver has a very definite view on traveling and experiencing new cultures. She writes that it was weird for her to travel to a foreign country. It is easy to see from her writing that she is not against it. It seems like she isn't against it, she just think it would be a good idea to try and understand the culture. She expresses this while writing her story without explicitly saying it and instead uses her tone. Authors using their tone
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
In a quote by John Mill, “Does fining a criminal show want of respect for property, or imprisoning him, for personal freedom? Just as unreasonable is it to think that to take the life of a man who has taken that of another is to show want of regard for human life. We show, on the contrary, most emphatically our regard for it, by the adoption of a rule that he who violates that right in another forfeits it for himself, and that while no other crime that he can commit deprives him of his right to live, this shall.” Everyone’s life is precious, but at what price? Is it okay to let a murderer to do as they please? Reader, please take a moment and reflect on this issue. The issue will always be a conflict of beliefs and moral standards. The topic

The communication will need to be adapted depending on the situation and the environment that the adults and children are in. For example in my setting when I have dealt with child’s behavior I have to use a firmer voice and my facial expressions change to a sad face so that understand the situation.

Early in history DDT was a very effective chemical that killed many parasites and stopped the mass spread of malaria. But the reward is not worth the damage that it does to the environment, especially in modern day where we have other ways to prevent parasite and diseases from getting to us.

In this context, face holds the same meaning as the metaphorical application of ‘saved my face,’ which would be applied to a situation in which an embarrassing situation is deftly avoided (88). However, the notion of ‘face’ in a metaphorical application finds its origins in word conducted by Erving Goffman. Based off of Goffman’s work, Brown and Levinson produced their politeness theory, which asserts: “The reason we are polite is that we are concerned with maintaining two distinct kinds of face: negative face [and] positive face” (88). Negative face means that one’s actions are unimpeded by others, and positive face means that one’s wants are desirable to at least some others (88). The notion of face, considered as a general term, is a widely accepted factor in the evaluation of politeness
