  • Analysis of 'This Is Water' by David Foster Wallace

    1763 Words  | 8 Pages

    David Foster Wallace’s commencement speech “This is Water” at Kenyon College is often thought of as one of the most influential speeches because it calls the graduates to observe the world around them through a different lens. However, he does not accomplish that by calling the graduates to action, but instead challenges them to use their education. He also appeals to the students’ emotions through his use of ethos, logos, and pathos. Although people mostly only remember the antidotes, it is the message associated with reoccurring emotions and literary devices throughout the speech that moves the reader into action. Wallace is able to captivate his audience and persuade them to view the world without themselves at the center through his tactful use of rhetoric.

Hand tries to persuade listeners to agree with his priorities using pathos, religion, repetition, and racial justice as a backbone to his speech. While Hand makes some excellent points in his "I am an American Day Address," they are outdated, and no longer as persuasive as they were in 1944.

  • Review Of Kevin Davis Does Coming To College Mean Becoming Someone New

    1481 Words  | 6 Pages

    In “Does Coming to College Mean Becoming Someone New?”, Kevin Davis argues that when going to college students face the choice of becoming someone new to fit into the discourse community of their chosen degree or select a new one more aligned with their style and values. Using his personal experience, Davis demonstrates his unsuccessful attempt to join the English discourse community. Consequently, Davis “felt like an outsider” (80) when starting his studies as an English major, a degree, he felt, would fit well with his “love of reading and writing” (80). The all-in commitment to becoming someone new to join, Davis clarifies is reason he never became a member of the English major community, and decided he would go into business instead. After a while, in the business sphere, he returned to the academic world and found a discourse community that he felt accepted him as he was the discourse community known as rhetoricians.

  • Summary Of Liberal Arts And The Bottom Line By Lane Wallace

    1000 Words  | 4 Pages

    The article “Liberal Arts and The Bottom Line” by Lane Wallace suggests that business executives that are being taught more liberal art based courses will be taught how to be a well-rounded human being. Instead of being all about what Wallace refers to as the bottom line, which can do great harm to the economy and the company’s employees, it is presented that business executives that took liberal arts courses are less concerned about the business bottom line and more about the well-being of the people around them. Wallace’s argument that liberal arts shapes a person into a more well-rounded human being is not effectively supported in the article. Being a business executive comes with the responsibility of trying to increase its profits.
