In the three months in which Phil’s men trained as a crew, 3,041 AAF planes--more than 33 per day--met with accidents stateside, killing nine men per day. In subsequent months, death tallies exceeding 500 were common. In August 1943, 590 airmen would die stateside, 19 per day (61).”

I wanted to take a different approach when I came face to face with my RIP Project. I did incorporate the use of specific language in order to convey a message, but I wanted to focus more on establishing pathos, ethos, and logos since I did not talk about these in my RA. I was able to be creative as I portrayed myself as the rhetor in my pharmaceutical cover letter.

  • Rhetorical Trope In The Rhetoric Of Empire

    1248 Words  | 5 Pages

    As a field of study, colonial discourse was and still is attracting the interest of a vast array of researchers, critics, and scholars. By and large, analyzing such discourse is a process of unmasking some of the hidden intentions of the colonizer which are expressed indirectly through language. Having critically analyzed a large body of texts, in his book “The Rhetoric of Empire”, David Spurr has skillfully categorized such discourse under several rhetorical tropes. Therefore, given that tropes such as surveillance, classification, and affirmation can be concretely pointed out in the Western discourse about the Other, one can firmly argue that through his categorization of these rhetorical tropes, David Spurr has successfully managed to introduce a deeper level of analysis of the western discourse regarding the representation of the Other.
