Cruel And Unusual Rhetoric Essay

Juan 's was facing a much more powerful tyrant, his mission was filled with obstacles. Juan mission was simple all he wanted to join the censorship, find the letter, and destroy the letter. The author demonstrates his mission in this line “...sabotage the machinery , throw sand in its gears, get to the bottom of the problem so as to stop it.” (page 175, paragraph 2). It sounds simple but was much more complex than expected.

The Masque of the Red Death depicts the not so good aspects of human nature; that being selfishness, fear, and power. These are all things many witness almost daily, either by watching television or being outside. Although there are many good aspects of human nature, like being kind courageous and doing the right thing, this story written by famous author Edgar Allan Poe in 1842 uses anger, fear, and greed to illustrate how some humans that don’t do the right thing get led down a dark path. Throughout this story, the prince prospero is very selfish and greedy. In the beginning of the story it states, “And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour.

Sharing our thoughts it’s decisive and all our speech has to be explain the root of the problem with facts based on the reality, otherwise we can retract into silence or violence. This book has been extremely useful for me, because it has taught me how to maintain control in those crucial moments, probably it is easier for me know to spot those with the reactions like silence or violence which are attitudes that usually we know that happen but probably what I did not know is that it happens when the person doesn’t feel safe, that’s the key. Normally, when we don’t know the strategies it is harder for us to identify what we are doing wrong, therefore we can make numerous mistakes.

At the beginning of his essay, Dave Grossman talks about the two main elements that are helping to mantain the killing rates down. The two points that Grossman designed were the enhanced arrest of violent criminals and the progress of medical technology. This caused Grossman to spread contradictions throughout his essay, causing it to be unclear as a whole. In the fallowing paragraph, “Today, both our assault rate and murder rate are at phenomenally high levels.” (Paragraph 6) is an opposing expression in the essay.

In her essay, “Sizing Up the Effects”, Professor Sissela Bok states the harmful effects of aggressive media and accents her informational argument with scholarly accounts of emotion in order to grab both the hearts and heads of her audience. Bok references a study done on homicidal men and says “What is most startling about the most violent people is how incapable they are… of feeling love, guilt, or fear.” , shortly after she takes a quote from Macbeth “I am in blood. Stepp’d in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o’er.” By including these hard hitting, poetic pieces she stimulates a new part of each audience member, a personal element is introduced making all of her given information apply on a deeper level.

O’Brien’s writing in chapter Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong (85) reflects a lot on how real war is. He gives a great description of how war changes you but he adds a little bit of extra and unreal details in parts of it. When Rat Kiley is telling the story everyone knows that it is going to be a little bit of false information in between. You have to really pay attention to understand what O’Brien is getting at with the story. Reflecting the surreal nature of war helps to get a somewhat perspective of how war was and how it took its pull on people.

In Richard Mathenoson´s excerpt from I am legend , the author is using a wide variety of figurative devices in order to give us an intense athmosphere of tension and desperation. As the passage opens, mathenson introduces us to a nerve-racking situation as Neville strugles to escape as he is being taken against his own will by people who want to be saved. For instance, the author is describing¨the man¨fingers as ¨skeleton fingers¨in order to give us a more brief picture of how scrawny he is. This simile is giving us a more clear contrast between the living and the death in a really unpleasant picture. However,simile is not the only rhetorical device being used.

“For thos who understand need no explanation, for those who don’t no explanationa is possible” This quote in Bill Edmonds’ talk based on his book “Torture, Trauma, Moral Injuries of War” was intriguing to me because to me, it clearly depicted the effect that war has. Unless you experience war, it is impossible to understand the how injurious and traumatic war is. In his talk he shared a personal story as a special operation. He discusses the horrible evil of war morality that hauns him till this day. The evils of the war eventually consumed him and haunted him.

In the case of Haunting of Hill Side, she chooses to contort the story to scare the reader. Through the review by Val Wenner, she is celebrated for her darkness. (p1 Warner) I myself have an interest in the abstract and weird pieces of literature. Jackson has won my appreciation; authors who know how to psychologically alter a person's mood are (in my opinion) the most amazing. In this case Shirley Jackson has been hidden behind many “less accomplished authors” (Hague

“A little learning is a dangerous thing, but a lot of ignorance is just as bad.” This quote, by famous journalist and radio host Bob Edwards, encompasses a question that haunts readers throughout the writing of Flowers for Algernon. Flowers for Algernon, a short story by Daniel Keyes, is about a man named Charlie who is mentally dull, and undergoes an operation in an attempt to surgically alter his brain to triple his I.Q. The former quote brings up the topic of how Intelligence and Ignorance are both dangerous in different ways, and though having abundant intelligence may seem like a dream, perhaps it isn't as wonderful as one may think.

Done well means one has contributed signal, instead of noise. It is meant for readers to hear my voice and understand where I have come from. Putting one’s thoughts down on paper can let out little surprises the writer themselves may not have put much thought into specifically. It

For example, I intended to discuss both negative and positive possible interpretations of the Brecht quote, and indicated as much, until that intention was entirely ignored in favor of finishing the essay. Although that is simply an issue of time, it is important to know what is prudent to include in a paper and what is not, especially in a timed setting. Also due to the timed setting was the problem of messy and inefficient sentence structure, which is something I attempt to keep high standards for. The inability to think out word choice before writing led to repetition and awkward word

It only takes a little mistake to damage the quality of the overall story. Hart notes, “Too much reportage and we cross into scholarship or journalism. Too much imagination and we cross into fiction,” (Hart 223). Writing non-fiction is a challenge, yet a doable one.

In most of the epic stories like Beowulf, the main character is presented to readers. How he thinks and how he faces the antagonist is the focal point. However, modern authors and directors replace this traditional method with its opposite. We start to see the stories through the eyes of evil characters. For example, In a version of Beowu lf by John Gardner, Grendel tells the story and many missing points are clarified such as why Grendel is immune to weapons, why he attacks to the mead-hall and what he thinks during all that bloodshed.
