Rhetorical Analysis Reflection

336 Words2 Pages

I am asking you for a recommendation because I feel like I got a lot out of your class and you have gotten to know me well too. One of the aspects of your class that I remember the most was how you taught us in an interactive manner. I enjoyed the discussions/debates that the class had over the articles we read for homework. Another thing that you did and that I remember was how you made rhetoric simple to understand, so that now, I can use it in my own writing. I have used these rhetorical analysis skills to help prepare for and perform well in Model United Nations Competitions, where I have won multiple awards. This has taught me to be a logical thinker and writer. I used to not appreciate poetry in the slightest, but our study of romantic

    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.

    This year has been a ride to say the least… We came in thinking that we would be taught by Dr.Rice, a woman known by the to be eccentric at times but incredibly intelligent and wise. The reality of the situation was that halfway through the year we were removed from her teaching and put in a different class altogether. This change was sudden and honestly a major inconvenience to the class as a whole. We did learn yes but it felt rushed and and spastic like the whole time we were cramming info into our brains rather than taking our time to learn and digest the material.

    My second project was the rhetorical analysis which weighted 45% of my grade. For my second project, I have to pick a reliable and unreliable source that relates to Kennedy’s assassination conspiracy theories. I have to make 3 separate papers for a reliable source, unreliable source, and comparison of two sources that would be presented in class. This project was a great learning experience because I get to learn and identify the differences between reliable and unreliable sources. From this project, I really struggled with finding the right unreliable source because it was harder to find on the search results.

    Many share the misconception that racism is a problem of the past. To them, prejudice has entirely ceased to exist, and today, humanity bears witness to a nondiscriminatory world. The flippant citing of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream,” perhaps even validates this new, egalitarian society emerging; however, such a society is merely an illusion. In fact, a minor offense as simple as citing “I Have a Dream” may not seem a big deal; however, many anthropologists contend that the telltale signs of institutionalized racism are present in these seemingly innocent actions. Furthermore, scholars Elizabeth Barnert and Terry Jones examine the state of institutionalized racism in their respective articles.

    In this interactive oral, the class was given two different examples where a rapper displays a theme through content and tone. One of these was through a song called “Dreams” by J. Cole where in it, a man wishes to murder another hoping to have a chance at love with the victim’s wife. In the other example, we referenced to a music video for the song “Stan” by Eminem where a man kills himself after never receiving a response to his numerous fan mail to Eminem. These artists used a technique in their songs that Gabriel Marquez too uses in Love in the Time of Cholera. We noted that Marquez infests this book with rich imagery giving love more of an embodied essence making it mirror Florentino’s emotions, saturated and ubiquitous.

    This class has taught me the foundation of how to become a rhetorician, and how that can benefit me in more ways than just English papers. I’ve learned key points needed to construct a successful argument in order to persuade an audience, whether that be on paper for a professor or in a job interview in the future. So far, I’ve written many prompts and slack posts. One of my shortcomings is speaking in my own voice in the paper and not fully delving into the proper lexicon. This is something I’ll be sure to nail in the final.

    Straight from the heart is a wonderful, but depressing passage narrated by a journalist named Tim Collins. The passage is about the tragic speech spoken by Marie Fatayi- Williams and the terroristic incident that lead to the possible killing of her son Anthony Fatayi- Williams. Marie’s speech is fueled by a couple different topics, which in their entirety explain how she feels about the loss of her son to be a traumatic event. These topics make the speech very powerful and meaningful to the audience according to Collins. The narration is primarily to explain why Marias speech is so powerful and why it inspired and touched so many people’s hearts, while Marie defies the pointlessness of terroristic acts followed by the tragedy.

    Often known as the Father of American Literature to many educated individuals, Ralph Waldo Emerson in his oration “The American Scholar” brilliantly provides a sublime example of how Emerson earned his title through the appliance of diction, syntax, allusions, and many other rhetorical devices and strategies. Indicated towards his highly educated audience, the Phi Beta Kappa Society, Emerson introduces the idea that the common class and common concepts of everyday life are becoming the future of art and literature through purpose, credibility, and tone. As many great writers, Emerson does not simply tell about his idea, but instead uses rhetorical strategies to help show his central point, one such strategy being purpose. Being focused on informing his audience of the coming days, the use of purpose can be

    The second rhetorical operation discussed in this study is reversal. It “combines elements that are mirror images of one another in an expression” (McQuarrie and Mick, 1996: 432). What means by mirror image here is that it repeats the original sentence but in reverse structure. The rhetorical operation of reversal can be either semantic (antithesis) or syntactic (antimetabole).
