  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business

    1215 Words  | 5 Pages

    As the camera zoomed in onto a sad little girl after the loss of her sister, I realized that the documentary, Burzynski: Cancer is Serious Business would be a difficult film to watch. Movies that depict dying children are often full of drama and heartache and this was no different. I was appalled at the treatment of these poor innocent patients and their families, and the movie had just begun. As I continued to watch the movie; however, my opinion changed from outrage that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would be so corrupt and unjust, to realizing that maybe the movie was playing with my emotions. Although effective in using good rhetorical strategies, the viewer must separate emotion and drama from lack of evidence and

    The topic sentence was unrelated to me because it talked about Maurice Jones-Drew who recently retired from football at age 29 (Gallagher). He had been playing football since he was 5 years old, that is way too young because according to the article 5 year olds with a weight class of 35 to 79 pounds play against older kids with much more weight, I can see how that leads to CTE. It also talks about how America prides itself on toughness that too me is the problem maybe we should start teaching boys to be a little more of what society calls “feminine” and we should stop perpetuating gender roles on small children. It then talked about Debra Pyka a woman whose son committed suicide at the age of 25 (Gallagher) because of CTE. My thing is that if they saw the signs of CTE why didn’t she try to get help for her son.

  • Child Safety Satire

    550 Words  | 3 Pages

    This exaggeration was done to draw attention to how ridiculous government safety requirements for kids can be. For example, “Defuse the ticking time-bomb known as your child 's imagination before it explodes and destroys her completely” (para. 2) is an exaggeration to demonstrate how many parents believe they must prevent their kid from being creative since they think it is so harmful. A child being imaginative should not be compared to a time bomb, which actually inflicts wounds and destruction. The preventative measures to inhibit a child’s imagination are also overdramatic. For instance, “To truly protect your children, you must go to great lengths to completely eliminate their curiosity, crush their spirit of amazement, and eradicate their childlike glee” (para. 11) overemphasizes the idea of parents who raise their child too strictly and expect their child to behave like an

    Firstly, the author uses hyperbole in the ‘Guys Like a Really Pointless Challenge’ section. After narrating a story, Barry states that there was “twenty-three Advil in (his) bloodstream”. Realistically, a dose of that amount could be counter-productive in his healing process, and thus the use of this exaggeration creates humour in over-emphasizing the severity of his pain. Secondly, the author uses personification in the ‘Guys like Neat Stuff’ section.

    I realized that I became more focused on the patient’s rather than my own personal gain. Then, one day, it hit me. As we were reading about Henrietta’s treatment as a patient, I was infuriated at the fact that these doctors and scientists weren’t giving Henrietta and her family the treatment, recognition, money, health-care, and equality they deserved. Even though I couldn’t imagine the hardship their family went through, I put my foot into the patient’s shoes. Reading about the pain and poverty Henrietta’s family went through, after her death, I kept thinking that if the doctors treated Henrietta equally, there could’ve been a chance of her survival.

    The author analyzes those ingredients by stating how they’re gratuitous to put in their food to make it sound that Chick Fil A lied about their motto of giving out healthy food. It was portrayed that the intended audience were the families who eat at Chick Fil when he stated,“Monosodium glutamate is an excitotoxin that affects brain function. While I’m not ready to claim that MSG and ADHD are strongly linked, I have no doubt that screwing with children’s neurotransmitters isn’t a good thing.” (Heary) The author tries to make Monosodium glutamate (MSG) look dangerous for children’s health to the parents when it is actually a food enhancer used in many foods.
