One of the things that I noticed when watching one-minute plays is the characterizations the actors bring to what the writer has written and how the plot moves and is still an intelligible story. The Green Forest Characters: Elf, Kerry, Leopard Fade In on a very bright green forest. One day Elf was sitting on a green moss colored rock in the forest and he was wondering what he was going to do this day. Along came Kerry who seem to startle Elf. Elf: (shaken) Who are you and what are you doing walking in the green forest all alone? Kerry: (unsure of self) I am Kerry a caregiver who is very lost. Can you show me the way to Glencross? I have business there. Both start walking down the path that seemed to just appear out of nowhere. Kerry: …show more content…
These are the herbs that help when I have a headache and not feeling like myself.

In light of the 10th anniversary of the Iraq war, Tomas Young, a former veteran on hospice writes “The Last Letter” (2013). In Young’s letter, he elucidates that the war was anything but necessary. He asserts that the lives of veterans, the family of those veterans, and even those in Iraq and America, will be spent in “unending pain and grief.” His purpose in persuading the audience, in this case George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, to change perspective of the war, its many deaths, and disappointments, to call out their reasons for initiating the war and to call out the injustice of what the Iraq war has done to millions of people, is successfully achieved in Young’s letter with the use of a tremendous amount of figurative language and appeals
In a “Vietnam Veterans against the war”, John Kerry’s comment on President Nixon not wanting to become, “the first President to lose a war,” illustrates just how insistent Nixon was on maintaining a superior Presidential image of power. Ironically, Nixon has one of the more, if not the most, tarnished Presidential image due to the Watergate scandal. Kerry’s speech drove the idea that the Veterans fighting in Vietnam did not believe that they were there to do good and did not feel that they were the “heroes” liberalizing the Vietnamese from the dangers of communism. As he notes, most people there did not understand the difference between communism and democracy. The freedom the Vietnamese sought was liberation from the helicopters, the bombs,
Passionate John Kerry, a vietnam veteran, in his speech, Vietnam Veterans Against the War Statement, to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on April 23, 1971, argues that the soldiers sent to Vietnam were told to do terrible things and that they were fighting for reasons they did not even know. Kerry supports his argument by implementing anaphora, utilizing a pronoun switch, applying rhetorical questions, appeals to logos through the use of statistics, quotes, and an anecdote, and appeals to pathos through imagery and powerful language. The author’s purpose is to depict to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations exactly what occurred in Vietnam and why they should be against the war too. The author writes in a belligerent tone for the Senate

Synopsis: The movie that will be used for this film review is the movie directed by Jon Favreau, Elf (2003). This is a Christmas film which follows a man who was raised by elves to 30 years of age with no human contact who then finds himself traveling to the city of New York in hopes to find his long-lost father.

He nods and we army crawl until we get to the rocky road, then we sprint to behind the chapel. We are out of breath but then we saw a dark shape moving towards us.

In his essay Santaland Diaries that was aired on NPR, David sedaris wanted to accomplish two things. First was spoof the structure and tone of exposes and create an audience for his work, because although he had had slight success in his earlier stories he needed a breakthrough to get him started. In order to accomplish these goals Sedaris included repetition, hyperbole, dark humor, innuendos, and understatements to create an essay that would entertain the audience of his NPR broadcast and get them interested in more of his work. In the beginning when Sedaris is talking about the training process of the different types of elf.

Kerry then describes how he and the rest of the soldiers tried to rationalize the destruction of the Vietnam land by thinking they were in fact saving the people. It is here that Kerry personifies America by explaining how her morality was lost. He also used this time to call out the false image of American soldiers being kind and gentle, “My Lai and refused to give up the image of American soldiers who hand out chocolate bars and chewing gum”(John F.
