In the entirety of the structure of the text Chavez provides support for nonviolence and then provides the reader with hypothetical situations with the use of the word “if.” The contrast of these hypothetical instances becomes ingrained into the reader's mind throughout the repetitive use and give the association of goodness with nonviolence in comparison to loss of self and emotion by violent ferocity. Seen in the example below, “When victory comes through violence, it is a victory with strings attached. If we beat the growers at the expense of violence, victory would come at the expense of injury and perhaps death. Such a thing would have a tremendous impact on us.
To begin, President Lincoln strengthens his points by using parallel structure in paragraph by exclaiming “All dreaded it, all sought to avert it”. By stating this, Lincoln brings together the two very distinct viewpoints by showing that both wanted to advert and stray from the war, knowing neither could due to previous circumstances. Parallel structure entails unification of the two sides of the battle, uniting them through a relatable idea and overall accomplishing the goal of his inaugural address, bonding the confederacy and the union back together. Another example of his use of parallel structure includes his expansion upon the idea that neither side wanted to start the war: “Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict may cease…the conflict itself should cease.” Lincoln indicates that he understands both

Let's Talk About Ethics Slander is defined as the action of making a negative statement that is damaging to a reputation. Over one hundred fifty years in the past, on the beautiful land mass yet to be called the United States of America colonists are bent on declaring their freedom from the British power. With total British colonization eminent the colonists need to be convinced their time of atrophy must come to an end. We are already at war and the leaders at the Virginia Convention just need a push in the right direction, they need to know which side is for freedom and which side is for oppression. Patrick Henry's use of Slander and glorification in the Speech to the Virginia Convention is that push the colonists need to realize what is right, and it proves ethos is the most persuasive technique in rhetoric.
Conceptions of exploit and exposibility is constant in his text as he verbally expresses the truth, or what the public can receive. The poem, Homecoming, communicates the horrible aftermaths of war, categorically the Vietnam war and the effects on Australia, and our adolescence. Homecoming prospers in addressing the quandaries that the regime do not addressed in the promotional posters and propaganda spoon victualed to society, which we victual up expeditiously. Dawe, through this poem was to make us cognisant about the quandaries of war. On the Death of Ronald Ryan, alternatively was rather a homage to the last man executed in Australia, rather than being an exposing piece of text, though it does contain aspects that do explicate the powerlessness of society and the authentic power of the regime.
He declares, “to forget them [the slaves], to pass lightly over their wrongs and to chime in with the popular theme would be treason most scandalous and shocking, and would make me a reproach before God and the world,” (para. 5). He discusses that slavery is unjust, and says that celebrating freedom with slavery would be treason. This helps the audience realize that celebrating freedom in their country is not a peccadillo, and they naturally will try to right the wrong because of their moral instincts by stopping their celebration. He also says, “to him your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mock; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are to him mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy - a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages,” (para. 15). In this quote, Douglass says that celebrating liberty is covering up a crime: slavery.
Henry appeals to his viewers emotional appeal by conecting and allowing his viewers to understand that no matter what they do, they will fail, and the last resort will be war either way. Although Henry used pathos to appeal to their emotional side, he appeals to their logical side by using
“ Give me liberty or give me death”,( Patrick Henry). The most well known speech given by the prestigious Patrick Henry on March 23, 1775 expressing his thoughts and feelings about fighting back against Britain and protecting their beloved country. At this time the British was defeating America terribly which had made Patrick Henry feel as though his freedom was being jeopardized. Patrick Henry’s speech was an attempt to persuade the american citizens not to just sit and do nothing, he wanted to fight back against Britain. Patrick Henry felt as though many of the citizens were not aware of the seriousness of what was happening and that the needed to have a wake up call.
His last words carried intense emotional weight; it is shown clearly that Patrick Henry will not stand for the injustice Britain is trying to institute. When the colonists are exposed to his brazened speech, it hits all of the
Achilles, angered that Agamemnon is claiming his war prize, Briseis, can barely restrain his rage. He threatens to leave the war knowing that he is very well responsible for their success in it. At this point in the book, the Gods haven't entirely grown angry with Achilles and Athena even goes out of her way to guide Achilles to not attack Agamemnon. The scene is essentially a power struggle where Achilles is unable to look past his own pride. He cannot stand to feel less powerful than Agamemnon, thus like a child he stomps off and with him, his elite group of skilled warriors, the Myrmidons.
The Suffrage of Conventional Circumstance Blood, sweat, and tears, are shed to savor a bearable routine and deflect the unknown. In American history, a group of men observed suffering provoked by Great Britain as the current mother country had taken their jurisdiction over the Unites States and abused it. In desperate need of adjustment, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, John Adams, and Robert R. Livingston wrote the Declaration of Independence. Partaking in the creation of this document was as dangerous of an act as betting one 's life with the flip of a coin.
Three decades of American policy in Vietnam had failed. According to Michael Lind, he concludes in his book, Vietnam: The Necessary War, “the United States may have won tactically in the Tet Offensive, but the excessive costs of winning badly by means of an ill-conceived attrition strategy in South Vietnam made a U.S. withdrawal as a result of domestic pressure inevitable.” The threat of Tet helped define and limit America’s international behavior.
Obviously, Mike is honestly anxious about something. He believes our strategy with regards to Israel and Saudi Arabia, is becoming excessively unfruitful. “I’d dump the Israelis tomorrow”, he reasons that the only way towards fixing the issue of misinforming the public about the costs of war (dead Americans) is through breaking ties with Israel and deserting Saudi Arabia. People do not agree with women’s rights so let them be. Interventionism is not so far off from something like the tyrannical nature of bullies around the middle school playgrounds of the United States, poking around in other people’s business, reminiscent of authoritarian leaders of the past.
A prime example of Walter Conkrite 's work for society is seen from his conclusional reporting on the Vietnam War. Like many others of his generation, he was informed by the government that the war in Vietnam was met with numerous victories and achievements. Optimistically, he continued to believe in the power of America to win the war. Therefore, after venturing to Vietnam to see the situation for himself, he was slightly unnerved by the chaos he saw around him, "unready" for another abnormal war that had no justification. More and more causes of discontent like the unreasonable destruction of natural scenery for military use, the talk of "body count" as measurement for winning the war, and the surprisingly effective Tet Offensive started
The authors of the book quote former President William Howard Taft by him saying that the war was “a cataclysm” and “a retrograde step in Christian civilization,” and “a disaster to mankind”. These profound words were found more prominently than you think, from different politicians and leaders in America. As the thought of war began to creep closer and closer into
