  • Florence Kelley Ap Language Essay

    1016 Words  | 3 Pages

    Rhetorical Analysis of Florence Kelley’s Speech Florence Kelley’s address to the National American Woman Suffrage Association (1905) touches upon both the social and political aspects of the need for reform regarding child labor laws. By revealing the shocking truth about how young children around the country work for long hours in inappropriate conditions, Kelley is able to emphasize the urgency of this situation. Simultaneously, she defends women’s suffrage by presenting the logical statement that there would be laws to prevent extreme child labor if women had the right to vote; more progress could be made if women and men worked together, starting with women’s right to vote. In her address to the National American Woman Suffrage Association, Florence Kelley establishes a dramatic tone and appeals to her audience’s emotions to persuade them to advocate for a reform of child labor laws by employing several rhetorical strategies. To begin, Kelley utilizes the audience’s sense of logic to generate answers to rhetorical questions such as, “If mothers and the teachers from Georgia could vote, would the Georgia Legislature have refused at every session for the last three years to stop the work in the mills of children under twelve years of age?” and “would the New Jersey Legislature have passed that shameful repeal bill enabling girls of fourteen years to work all night, if the mothers in New Jersey were enfranchised?”

  • Catch 22 Language Analysis

    1596 Words  | 4 Pages

    Nothing is ever as simple as it first appears. Because many people take great pride in the army and those who serve in it, the description of the army in Catch 22 has made the novel vulnerable to much criticism. In Catch 22, the army is portrayed as a bureaucratic system, and Joseph Heller has changed the perception of the army in the eyes of readers. The idea of keeping the army in the war depicts the evil nature of army commanders, therefore those who praise the army and its people have created the argument that the language used in Catch 22 is ludicrous and disrespectful, leading to the idea that the novel should be banned. However, the

God decided to save you until he wants to let you fall into an eternity of burning flames. Another example of imagery is when he talks abo...

  • American Character Analysis

    1294 Words  | 3 Pages

    Defining the American character is quite difficult because American identity is vaguely founded on shared values and ideologies, more so than a particular creed, race, or culture. In order to describe the American character, we will consider the dominate and distinctive qualities of Americans as interpreted by J. Hector St. Jon De Crèvecoeur and Thomas Paine. First, we will examine how Crèvecoeur illustrates Americans as industrious, prideful, and political in “Letters from an American Farmer.” Then, we will analyze from Thomas Paine's “Common Sense” how he depicts the prevalent qualities of Americans to be driven by justice, liberty, emotions, and individualism. Also, because both authors consider the American character and culture different

    Despite the difficulty of ESL 011, many students take this class because it is an important course. For me, ESL 011 is a challenging class. I have learned and practiced many things, but there are three things I would change about my ESL 011 experience. The first one is the seven-week terms. I would say that the seven-week terms are challenging for students, particularly getting to know the course content within such a short period of time. ESL 011 is academic writing, and it is different from other kinds of writing. In addition, ESL 011 covers paragraph development, such as developing the main idea and supporting information, so students learn how to develop their college writing.

  • Chomsky Syntax Analysis

    1608 Words  | 4 Pages

    Chomsky’s view of syntax is also referred to as generative grammar. According to Chomsky, individuals attempt to develop a small set of rules that they then use to create any sentence in a language. His theory of syntax is considered to have a surface level and a deeper level, also known as surface and deep structure. The surface structure would what an individual says or writes and the deep structure is what is meant in the message that has been communicated. Chomsky believed that the individual using the language could change and transform basic surface structures into various communications to create different deep structural meanings. The words that are communicated at the surface level also have a deeper level of meaning, which can differ depending on the word use and meaning in the sentence (Essential Linguistics, 2011, p. 230).
