Rhetorical Triangle Ethos In Bernard Roth's The Achievement Habit

Good characters in Macbeth are less in number, and also seem to be characteristically less deeply constructed than the evil or corrupted ones. Everybody has a seed of corruption planted deeply in them, ready to spurt into blossom. Those who let their evil side win, the becoming the true villains acts on these dark drives and commits something morally wrong, like our man character, firstly portrayed as a dashing military genius, Macbeth. When he first receives the prophecies, he is not bothered by the fact that it was spoken by three mysterious, ugly and seemingly evil witches, he actually considered the words of the prophecy.. "Two truths are told,... but what is not" (line 137-152, Pg 27-29). Even tough we see him arguing with himself and feeling disgusted, showing that he is very much humane, and his only fault being way too ambitious.

O'Brien then shows them that they are both wrong at the end and that everything Winston did is the worst type of crime. Not only does his crimes have material consequence, but he loses the one thing he had kept safe throughout, his freedom. Winston may not be a hero to the people, not even close, but he wanted to be one. However, he was trying to be a hero to himself, give himself his own freedom. He spoke the truth at the end due to the O'Brien's torture and the mind control, he always knew this would be the outcome from his diary entries, the conversations with Julia and his observations of Jones.

Numerous people throughout history have failed or dropped out and have came out on top. These individuals learned more lessons failing than they did succeeding. Which is the reason Zinsser ensures people “failure isn’t fatal” (Zinsser 602). Informing readers failure isn’t automatically bad and succeeding isn’t immediately good (Zinsser 603). Still believing succeeding is better than failing but tells how it is okay to fail.

However, Siddhartha needed to accept change in order to gain enlightenment and wisdom from Vasudeva. Without acceptance, Siddhartha might have never gained the momentum needed to achieve enlightenment. Accepting change will bring happiness and peace to many people.

With Siddhartha’s acceptance and achievement, he could now spread his knowledge throughout the world, and convince others to accept their present lives

However he can't say this specifically towards the people because he wants to open his speech with affability. He wants the people to know he's with them, and that they should trust him. If Anthony wanted his 2nd line in his speech the way he meant it then the people would have not lend him their ears. The purpose of this syntax was to spellbound the listeners, and gain their trust. This appeals to their emotions, pathos.

It is true that many people today wear masks to fit into society. However, the suppression of one’s self can render the person miserable and I think that it is living a lie. In fact, I believe that Hawthorne was trying to say that one can never truly get rid of who they really are. To me, Chillingworth is an example of being unable to erase who one really is. In the beginning of the book, Hester describes him as being a happy scholar and Master Prynne later admits that all he wanted to feel was passion and love and describes himself saying: But all my life had been made up of earnest, studious, thoughtful, quiet years, bestowed faithfully for the increase of mine own knowledge, and faithfully, too, though this latter object was but casual to the other--faithfully for the

A hero is someone that saves the day, or makes a person better. A twisted hero does the same thing, however, their heroic actions are not as obvious.

Following misunderstood traditions allows people to perform harmful actions because it is what they have been taught to do. In the short story, The Lottery, Shirley Jackson reveals the tragic consequences of not being willing to stand up against traditions that serve no useful purpose in society. Through the use of symbolism, characterization and setting shows the way that even ordinary people pursue traditions that create tension and harmful outcomes to anyone involved. People will blindly follow tradition without questioning it or its outcome. A box that has been used since the lottery started is now on its last leg but when "Mr. Summers spoke frequently to the villagers about making a new box, no one liked to even upset a tradition as was represented by the black

This shows his cunning personality. However, as the story progressed and Montresor was getting closer and closer to his revenge, he grew impatient and gave Fortunato unintentional hints of the events that were going to transpire; showing Fortunato the trowel under his cloak.
