  • The 5 000 Finger Rhetorical Analysis

    514 Words  | 3 Pages

    The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T is a surrealist and delirious tale full of wacky fun imagery, as well as explicit World War II references. This daring film for its 50’s time period was written by Theodor Geisel, famously known as Dr. Seuss. Seuss' writing in his books tends to be surreal, somewhat nonsensical, and is almost always verbally focused on crazy word play, including lots of neologisms and hilariously twisted rhymes, which is translated into this film.

The theme is addressed in one of the songs, stating “just because we're kids, because we're sorta

The theory that introduces a life is lesson everyone needs to live a full and satisfying life.

  • Into The Wild Rhetorical Analysis

    1823 Words  | 8 Pages

    Family, friends, and possessions pressure individuals through the imposition of values that contribute to identity; we are told that we obtain our qualities simply by inheritance and association. The environment one chooses to surround themselves reflects similar learned behaviors and thought processes. Deviating from the norm is often contemptible, but natural, according to author Jon Krakauer. Realizing that he did not want to become a carbon copy of his parents and environment, Christopher McCandless wandered the American West for two years, as a nomad, to reject society as he knows it―his family, friends, and possessions. He burns his money, abandons his car, and cuts all ties with his family on an identity crisis that would lead to his death in the inhospitable Alaskan tundra.

    It wasn’t until after reading this piece several times that I began encountering flaws within her reasoning. Although I agree with Bird that college is a waste of all these for some students, I also believe that Bird does not provide strong enough evidence to persuade her readers into thinking this. First off, when choosing the material to include in her essay, Bird should have used evidence that contained more certainty in order to solidify her claim. For example, “it is difficult to assess how many students are in college reluctantly. The conservative Carnegie Commission estimates
