While Others fail their style choices, The most stylistically poor excerpt was from Sir Thomas Eliot's "The Book of the Governor because It loses its argument in attempting to be stylish, It's difficult to grasp initially, and It holds the fewest stylistic choices. Elyot uses complex phrases such as "who purposing to have in his garden a fine and precious herb, that shulde be to him and all other repairing thereto...". While this sentence goes on and formulates a viable and complete argument it loses its meaning in all the connections. The most direct route with connections that help bridge gaps along the way are persuasive, but when those connections elongate and become restrictive rather than freeing or pleasant. Not for this reason alone does the excerpt receive the lowest score, but because it combines with when he states “Semblable order will I ensue in the forming of gentle wits of nobleman's children, who, from the womb of their mother, shall be purposed or apte to the governance of a public weale”. Elyot tries to say so much in this sentence, alluding to the age, values, strengths …show more content…
Einstein uses a plethora of comparisons, personifications, allusions, and he uses these stylistic tools well. For example he makes a contrast between a society of unoriginal drones and a society of specialized independents. In doing so, he debases the opposing argument while lifting his own logically and clearly. Einstein also uses personification of education, treating it like a plant needing care, similar to Elyot; however, Einstein's personification doesn't cast a shadow upon his work, but rather casts a light to allow others to see. These are not the only reasons, but even with Einstein's style, that is not all that makes a good
In 102 Minutes, Chapter 7, authors Dwyer and Flynn use ethos, logos, and pathos to appeal to the readers’ consciences, minds and hearts regarding what happened to the people inside the Twin Towers on 9/11. Of particular interest are the following uses of the three appeals.
Samuelson’s writing style is very informative, but he delivers his information in a brusque, rough way that makes the facts difficult to absorb. Samuelson writes the way others argue or yell- practically shouting the information, as if
“People who had incurred the displeasure of the party simply disappeared and were never heard of again.
Truman Capote showcases his very distinct style of writing in his true crime novel, In Cold Blood. Capote intentionally frames ruthless murderer Perry Smith as a relatable, well-intentioned human throughout the whole novel, and employs various rhetorical devices to show us that Perry is not just a stone cold killer. Specifically, Capote uses diction comprised of complex words, interviews conducted by Capote personally in which he interacted with the suspects and their loved ones, and sentence structure that came off as very to the point, in order to illustrate Perry’s dynamic and unique personality, opposed to the one dimensional heartless murderer many made him out to be.
In the same also different way, the coach in Marshall speech also using pathos when he said “ They don’t know your heart. I do. I’ve seen it. You have shown it to me...You have shown just exactly who you are in here.” This is pathos because the coach bring up how good the team have become. Whether they’re losing or winning, the only thing will matter is no one will have a great heart as the players have. They don’t need to win the championship to show that they’re the best, they just need to show how much passion they have with football to show that they’re the best team. The coach also said: “ When you take that field today, you’ve gotta lay that heart on the line, men. From the souls of your feet, with every ounce of blood you’ve got in your body, lay it on the line until the final.” He doesn’t put pressure on the players that they have to win, he speaked how he feel, he speaked from his heart, he just wanted that when the team take the field today, they just need to put all their effort and passion on the field.
Edwards style was more effective in his case because he made it seem like it was directed to the reader and used many rhetorical devices like “the bow of God’s wrath is bent and the arrow made ready on the strings…” (Edwards,Pg,25) (which is a metaphor) has a very powerful effect on the reader. His diction was blunt,straight forward and aggressive also something that made it a very powerful text.
In the book Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer wrote about Christopher McCandless, a nature lover in search for independence, in a mysterious and hopeful experience. Even though Krakauer tells us McCandless was going to die from the beginning, he still gave him a chance for survival. As a reader I wanted McCandless to survive. In Into the Wild, Krakauer gave McCandless a unique perspective. He was a smart and unique person that wanted to be completely free from society. Krakauer included comments from people that said McCandless was crazy, and his death was his own mistake. However, Krakauer is able to make him seem like a brave person. The connections between other hikers and himself helped in the explanation of McCandless’s rational actions. Krakauer is able to make McCandless look like a normal person, but unique from this generation. In order for Krakauer to make Christopher McCandless not look like a crazy person, but a special person, I will analyze the persuading style that Krakauer used in Into the Wild that made us believe McCandless was a regular young adult.
Talbot uses powerful diction to get her message across in ways which normal writing and syntax could not achieve. Examples range from “...sneaky way of gaming the system” (223) and “...criticized as palaces of privilege” (229) and “...the contest for valedictorian offers a pleasing image of a purer meritocracy” (231). All of these following examples of powerful language depict to the reader the importance of the topic and to stress the author’s message. The rhetoric adds to stress certain points which are very critical in her message. Without the strong dialect the message could be weakened and even worse in the end it could be depicted wrong. On top of all the syntax and diction along with the rhetorical appeals brings the reader to the author’s overall message of needing to reward the best in a different way than normal but making sure that we still do reward
Despite there being hundreds of video game releases every year, most of these games are unoriginal and therefore unplayable. There are countless video game genres, but one of the most popular genres in the past few years have been the zombie games, also called survival games. I was thoroughly convinced that all the games in this genre were clichéd and overdone, until I played the video game The Last of Us. Even though it is a survival game, the focus is not on gruesome zombies or gratuitous violence, making it already vastly different from the others. Instead, the focus is on telling a story. Between the gorgeous graphics, serene music, and flawless acting, it already goes beyond being just another “zombie game,” but this isn’t even accounting
I chose this word because the tone of the first chapter seems rather dark. We hear stories of the hopes with which the Puritans arrived in the new world; however, these hopes quickly turned dark because the Purtains found that the first buildings they needed to create were a prison, which alludes to the sins they committed; and a cemetery, which contradicts the new life they hoped to create for themselves.
Anticipation is prevalent throughout The Road, which is set by the narrative pace, creating a tense and suspenseful feeling and tone.
Prevailing Purposes in “The Crucible” Playwright and essayist, Arthur Miller, in his play, “The Crucible”, utilizes pathos, symbolism, and irony to convey his purpose of how the events of the Salem Witch Trials had detrimental effects on the society and how far the elites went to protect their reputation . Miller’s reasoning is to expand Parris’ and Danforth purpose for their side of the argument during the witch trials. He adapts a contrasting tone in order to appeal to similar feelings with reasoning in his american readers.
Imagine the world we are living in today, now imagine a world where we are told who to marry, where to work, who to hate and not to love. It is hard to imagine right, some people even today are living in the world actually have governments that are controlling their everyday life. In literature many writers have given us a view of how life may be like if our rights as citizen and our rights simply as human beings. One day the government may actually find a way to control and brainwash people into beings with no emotions like they have in the book 1984 where they express only hate, because that’s what they have been taught by the party.
In Derricotte's essay the first rhetorical foul utilized is the inflexible insistence on the rules. In essay XI the narrator blatantly breaks this rule by using the voice of god to justify their irrational behavior towards attempting to command flies and then killing any infidels. Derricotte’s main downfall is when he tells the reader “Sometimes I believed that the things in the world hear your thoughts, the way god heard your prayers” (47). By using this rhetorical foul Derricotte discredits the narrator and makes the reader question what in the story is not an exaggeration or pure fantasy.
In their essay, ‘The Intentional Fallacy’ (1946), William K. Wimsatt Jr. and Monroe C. Beardsley, two of the most eminent figures of the New Criticism school of thought of Literary Criticism, argue that the ‘intention’ of the author is not a necessary factor in the reading of a text.
