Clint Eastwood: Timeless Icon Or Spurious Miscreant?

297 Words2 Pages

The article was a well written research paper, although the arguments are not very strong. As for an overall grade I would give it a C. The title is "Clint Eastwood: Timeless Icon or Spurious Miscreant," the author did not seem to lean towards one or the other. Instead leaving it to the reader to decide with an icon is because of how they make the reader feel.
Many of the APA cites in were place with having more than necessary. Added citations after facts when he gave credit to them already. All references seem to be in correct format with hanging indents.
The essay is well organized with the thoughts and facts being in order. More facts could be present to make him out to be a spurious miscreant than being a womanizer, and the idea that

    Brent Staples’ essay, “Just Walk on By: A Black Man and Public Space”, is about the “ability” that a black man holds; which as Staples puts it, is the “ability to alter public space in ugly ways.” African American men, or people for that matter, have stated (even in present day) that they feel the same way. This, among other factors has contributed to the fact that this essay has become very popular among different communities. As the writing prompt states, the essay has been anthologized, and obviously placed in One Hundred Great Essays. For reasons unknown, this particular essay has caught the eye of many.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Carl Hart's The Real Opioid Emergency '

    I felt this was a definite weakness in his article. I personally wanted to agree with him and felt compelled to through his claims, statistics, and passionate rhetoric, but his lack of sources and support certainly weaken his argument. Especially in an article where some of his claims seem spotty, Hart should feel pushed to give effective evidence. The only reason I can think for the lack of sources is that Hart wanted to make his article more personal, instead of just another statistical, history sheet. If this was the case, I would feel further persuaded if he could have expressed himself and actually

    The final challenge is to find three passages that best illustrate the author’s self-representation and how they contribute to, or detract from, the argument he makes in the essay. The first example is in paragraph four, where he explains the way he dislikes his self image “of knowledgeable, humorous detachment and bland tolerance.” The way this contributes to his writing is that it shows he is aware of this major problem in his own classroom. It shows that he has an awareness of his faults and a longing to change them; not only in himself, but in the system as a whole.

    The consistent appeal to the audience and their relationship to the MLF affirms their belief that he is a reliable source- and Wallace makes sure the audience understands he knows his own biases and misunderstanding in both the main portion of the essay as well as the footnotes. Footnote 6 is particularly important for judging the ethos of the writing. The audience sees the clear bias in the observations but rather than ignore his own preferences, Wallace explicitly states why he holds these views and that the audience should be aware of this, strengthening the trust between author and audience. He also uses the footnotes to build his own understanding and awareness of the topic. The footnotes serve as a both a break from the essay,
