Model of Analysis – Fairclough’s Three Dimensional Model of Critical Discourse Analysis: A three dimensional analysis of discourse is an approach of critical discourse analysis by Norman Fairclough (1992b; 1995a; 1998; 2000), this will be used as a model of analysis I the present study. This model of analysis includes three levels or dimensions of analysis: 1) Micro level analysis: at this level textual analysis is made to describe the text. 2) Meso level of analysis: this level moves towards discourse analysis to describe the relationship of discourse produced and its source of production i.e. the whole process of production of this discourse. 3) Macro level of analysis: it is socio-cultural analysis to describe the relationship of discourse process and the socio-cultural processes of society (Fairclough, 1992a; 1995a; Idris,
John Swales and James Paul Gee discuss about the samic tipic “Discourse”. In my point of view, their understanding of “Discourse” is similar. However, they explain it in different ways. In John Swales’ essay, he gives six defining charactertics of discourse community.
Kathryn Stockett successfully uses rhetorical devices to get the reader to feel and understand the perspectives of the protagonists. Stockett uses pathos, ethos, and logos in her book, since the book about social injustice. The topics in the book range from inequality of the sexes to social classes and racism, Stockett is successful in getting the reader to reflect while reading the book and the themes of the book have a clear presence. We see Stockett use ethos and pathos in the very first chapters when we learn that Hilly doesn't like Minny and Minny doesn't want to say why at first, but the incident with Ms. Holbrook was affecting her chances of getting a job because of the influence Hilly has over this suburban society. In some instances where Stockett uses ethos, pathos is also included in her writing.
Good evening, David, James, and Abdullah and the rest of you here, how are you? I am here tonight to announce my candidacy for the presidency and I would start off by expressing my gratitude for your support because let's face it, I wouldn’t be here without you and to be honest, I wasn't even going to run for the presidency but I live by a certain creed, one that runs in my blood and this being that you should never accept the world as it appears to be, always dare to see it for what it could be. But is natural for us to accept the illusions of hope. We opt to shut our eyes from the painful truth.
As such, there is not one catch-all method to describe all the discourse communities on campus, thus necessitating further study. Therefore, in this paper I will compile several primary sources, including observation
Since the advent of the personal computer, the amount of information and interconnectedness between people has dramatically increased. With one click of a button someone could go from checking the scores of their favorite football team to conversing with a friend anywhere in the world. In “Is Google Making Us Stupid” by Nicholas Carr, he explores the consequences of the massive amounts of information one can obtain via the internet. While I agree with Carr on the effects the internet has on how people read, there is a limit to the amount of people the internet actually affects.
final, page 4). In this introduction of the Rhetorical Analysis, I was more informative since I included definitions for the naturalism and modernism, which would help the reader understand the analysis of the conventions for the rest of my essay. I also used the whole paragraph as my thesis because it allowed me to mention what lenses I would be analysing throughout the essay followed by a quote from a secondary source giving the conventions of such lenses. The Anteater Writing Guide also helped me to write an insightful introduction because I learned that the introduction has to explain the “because” of my argument that I am planning to explain. Therefore, for every lens that I mentioned, I talked about why it was the best lens to read Yonnondio
The Overlapping Science Education Community Introduction An important part of my life has always been my desire to help others. This was the reason I chose to major in Education, more specifically Science Education. I wanted to be able to give students the opportunity to learn and assist them in their academic journey.

In James Paul Gee’s essay “What Is Literacy?’ , he uses the key term ‘discourses’. Gee explains discourses as a placement in society or the belonging to a group in society.

An important discourse community that was a part of my life was my volleyball team during my four years of high school. I started playing my first year going into high school and continued until I graduated. Until now I wasn’t even aware that would even be considered a discourse community, but it fits all of the qualifications of Swales’ definition of a discourse community. Goals
Rhetorical analysis is an investigation into how someone uses his/her critical reading skills to analyze text. The objective of the rhetorical analysis is the study of how the author writes, instead of what the author wrote. At that point, we need to examine the method that the author uses to attain his goal. According to Jonah G. Willihnganz “A rhetorical analysis is an examination of how a text persuades us of its point of view. It focuses on identifying and investigating the way a text communicates, what strategies it employs to connect to an audience, frame an issue, establish its stakes, make a particular claim, support it, and persuade the audience to accept the claim”.
Martin Luther King Jr.’s overall tone in his speech is determination; determination to gain equality for all races and colors and for the nation to unite in fighting the injustices of inequality in America in the 1950’s. I Have A Dream, is all about his dream that one day all the injustices in the world will one day disappear. The use of diction brings the reader towards his tone of determination , contributing to his overall feelings towards his mission of wanting freedom and equality, which he portrays throughout the entire speech. King uses bold words repetitively such as "freedom" "dream" and “justice” to open his argument that equality will bring freedom to the black community.
The main advantages of the experimental method is the ability to control what each participant experiences and this allows researchers to test precise and accurate hypotheses and draw conclusions about how one variable affects another. The main disadvantage of is that it cannot replicate or reproduce the complexity of real life and it can miss social rules and other factors that could establish whether a bystander intervenes or not. The discourse analysis, on the other hand can capture a richer and more varied picture of people’s experiences and looks at people’s actual experiences. However, it cannot provide general rules about human behaviour that could be applied to more than one
