1. Twain’s main purpose in “Corn-Pone Opinions” is to explain how human nature determines what is favored in the society. In paragraph 9, Twain states, “It is our nature to conform; it is a force which not many can successfully resist” (718). Since the birth, each individual are instilled with this conformity that cannot be ignored. Twain wants his readers to realize that the reason behind conformity is to obtain other people’s approval, even if the individual pretends to be someone else. Through his writing, Twain displays how people follow the trend because they do not want to be left out in the society.
In order to have a compelling speech, one must utilize the use of pathos, ethos, and logos. In his second inaugural address, Obama uses all three of these in a very effective way considering his situation. Being his second term in office it would be unnecessary to rely on the use of ethos or logos, considering they already know his plan for office and his credibility level. Obama’s heavy dependence on pathos seems like an intelligent choice. Although, Obama did not completely remove the use of ethos and logos. In fact, in the places Obama used these devices they were very effective. Obama’s excessive use of pathos throughout his second inaugural address does not override its effectiveness, nor does it take away from the efficiency of his use of ethos and logos to inform the country of his plans during presidency.

The chosen image of Bush is explained through reasoning and this aspect adds to the universal theme. Notkin states “The image was chosen not to ridicule, but to capture some essence of the man” (3). In other words, to reveal the real side of Bush on how he was two-faced. The image reveals the truth to society, which is constantly being told lies by people like Bush. The artist was just revealing the truth about Bush.
Since the beginning of his campaign, President Trump has often portrayed himself as the victim of the liberal media and “fake news.” While every person should make a habit of checking their sources, it is my assertion that the media’s attitudes towards Trump have benefited him greatly. A common comparison somewhat alike to the chicken and the egg, is whether the media accurately represents events or creates them in their depiction. In my view both instances are present and valid in one’s attempt to analyse the media.
The article begins by describing the context of a less-than-anticipated talk from Bill Nye. Diehl argues that Nye lacked focus, precision, and relevance. He concludes, “Nye didn’t try that hard” but it was fun and an enjoyable spectacle. This was immediately followed with “CAB knew it could get away with just that much.” The jump in blame from Bill Nye, himself, to CAB is unexpected and Diehl offers no explanation or transition. Before this point Diehl relied heavily on pathos to convince his audience but this specific appeal to logos lacks substantive proof. He continues by specifying what a $40,000 talk would have contained. He points out that the talk has no lasting power or impression. However, in this, Diehl fails to leave the audience with a call to action or explanation of what should come next. He instructs his audience to ask if Nye was worth it but does not offer suggestions to improve future speakers, offer information on how to change the budget, or how to get rid of the Speaker Series in general. At the end of the article, the audience still wonders who to blame and what to do about
The American Constitution is a vital segment of the United States’ foundation-- it was the premise of a unique government that did not exist before its time. Although, prior to the Constitution The Founding Fathers of the United States sought to establish a government that would not exploit the American people the way the British government had done so. With considerable fear of corruption, standing armies and lack of representation the Articles of Confederation was enacted. At the outset, the A.O.C had achieved exactly what it was written to do-- supply the governed people with the power over the government. In the near

There is no doubting when it comes to rhetoric that a strong emotional appeal by a credible influential figure is an incredibly effective rhetorical strategy. This is gloriously exemplified in Allison Grimes’ article, "''Rigged' rhetoric wrong, destructive", wherein Mrs. Grimes asserts that Trumps questioning of the legitimacy of the current election cycle is dangerous, however, her usage of emotional appeal and appeal to authority underscores her failure to include logical appeal.
