Chavez said “Thus, demonstrations and marches, strikes and boycotts are not only weapons against the growers, but our way of avoiding senseless violence that brings no honor to any class or community. The boycott, as Gandhi taught, is the most nearly perfect instruments of nonviolent change, allowing masses of people to participate actively in a cause.” (prompt) One interesting point he made was about honor. Cesar believed that violent acts during a time of resistance were senseless and brought no honor upon any one person involved in the aforementioned acts, and that they could be avoided by participating in nonviolent means such as boycotting, marches, and

In RFk's speech he goes out on the back of a truck and tries to calm down the crowd after just finding out that MLK had been murdered. His motivation was in using the speech to restore the faith and peace in America, since he knew racial tensions were high and now even higher. Robert states “But we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make an effort to understand, to get beyond and go beyond these rather difficult times” (kennedy).He said this to show to the people that even though

Following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Robert F. Kennedy, a New York senator at the time, delivered a speech to the Cleveland City Club, lamenting the prejudice and hatred that killed Dr. King. In his speech, Kennedy appeals to ethos, utilizes metaphors, and employs 3rd person point of view to advance his purpose of how American society fosters prejudice and how, as a nation, they must change their ways to see any significant changes. Ethos plays a unique role in The Mindless “Menace of Violence”.

This lifestyle, means that one is exempt from taxes or any other enforced laws and regulations, as a Transcendentalist disagrees with the very core of the state.

Journalist and author, Dave Cullen, in his book, Columbine, redefines how his readers understand the Columbine tragedy. His purpose is to illustrate the misconceptions Americans have of the shooting by explaining how these misconceptions came about and became rooted in Americans’ minds, although they were so unbelievably wrong. Cullen creates a blunt tone in order to get straight to the facts to show who Eric really was. Through his use of rhetorical devices in this passage, Cullen unravels that Eric was not a bullied outcast like so many believe, but a psychopath. The passage opens with an examination of Eric’s thoughts in the months before Columbine happened, which can be viewed from numerous passages Eric left behind in his journals.

Could a condition such as dyslexia be an advantage? That is the question that echoes to the soul of the theory of desirable difficulty. We have accepted the paradigm that those who experience abnormally large amounts of difficulty in life are less likely to succeed. We have accepted this notion, because it makes logical sense. However, we are beginning to see the birth of a rebuttal to conventional wisdom.

When Brutus was trying to justify the fact that he killed Caesar, he says “Not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more”(117,23-24). This quote is an example of logos because he is using a more logical responce to the question of why he killed Caesar.
