  • Saunders Rhetorical Analysis

    232 Words  | 1 Pages

    Saunders also conveys how business marketing tactics breed cruelty and vanity in society’s elites. The lack of ethics fuels a sense of superiority in product users through brutal subjugation of those who don’t use them. In this society, violent imagery is commonplace and immoral behavior is encouraged to sell products. Society pardons characters like Kevin for their actions because they are winners who are propagating the consumerist message (they help sell the product). This vindication is further illustrated in the third vignette when an orange’s polite questioning of a Slap-of-Wack bar is answered by violent stabbing.

    Mr. Sinclair, I am delighted to see that someone else has questioned our defense as these rebels defy the laws set in place by our rightful King George III. All to frequently we read of attacks coming against defenseless women and children in these beloved colonies by the savages that so recently inhabited our lands. These treasonous rebels will cause our king to turn against us and leave us to fend for ourselves against these barbarians. Men will be called to fight off the savages and women and children will be left home alone.

Throughout the entirety of her speech, Lyiscott changes up her vocal patterns and dialects so that the audience can understand first hand what each of these dialects are. When she talks about her father, Lyiscott uses her native tongue, when she talks to her fellow neighbors and close friends she switches it up to a more urbanized dialect, and when she is in school she masks the other two dialects with a professional sounding language.

  • Fenimore Coopers Rhetorical Analysis

    429 Words  | 2 Pages

    Mark Twain, an 18th century humorist, was known for his critical and satirical writing.
