Will The Blowhard Blow Us Up Analysis

128 Words1 Page

Maureen Dowd 's central focus in her column "Will The Blowhard Blow Us Up?" is the tension between two leaders and the probability of a nuclear war. The hostile exchange of words between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and our president caused citizens an understandable amount of concern. Dowd shows her distaste of Trumps actions by including a quote from an interview with Trump biographer Michael D 'Antonio. According to D’Antonio "He (Trump) is only comfortable dominating and forcing others into submission. When that 's not happening, he experiences an almost physical discomfort because he feels unsafe..." This meaning that Trump feels as if in order to stay “in charge” he must use fear tactics, which in this case, is the fire and fury

    He uses credible sources and quotes by President Trump such as, “There was no way of making a correct statement that early”. This quote by Trump had been made to weaken the fire that he started with his improvised remarks and last minute speeches to try to correct his misleading statements. Many of the author’s quotes in this article had been mostly to prove how President Trumps lack of awareness and knowledge on this issue had always been his own fault, but also lacks courage to admit to his mistakes. Some of the other supporting statements by the author include, “Mr. Trump said his initial statement was shaped by a lack of information about the events in Charlottesville, even though television statements had been broadcasting images of the violence throughout the morning.” This statement by the author is portrayed as his criticism against President Trump and proving a flaw in his words during his speech

  • Analysis Of White House Red Scare By Maureen Dowd

    421 Words  | 2 Pages

    Précis Response In the article "White House Red Scare" (7 January 2017), columnist Maureen Dowd affirms her current political opinion that the United States government is overridden with anxiety and bewilderment due to the callous and perhaps "malleable" newly elected president, Donald Trump. Dowd justifies her stance of the cumbersome issue by the use of anecdotes (her own personal encounters with Donald Trump), past incidences of Trump's rapid stance-changes (being skeptical of the Russian leader Gorbachev, until Gorbachev's imposter glorified Trump Tower), as well as quotes from the reactions of various senators and congressional members. In order to persuade with this opinionated standpoint, Maureen uses an enthymeme--the election's

But pride had the better of it in this struggle once again; he restrained himself with a tremendous effort of

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of 9/11 Address To The Nation

    357 Words  | 2 Pages

    President George W. Bush gave a speech titled “9/11 Address to the Nation,” where he reassures the nation of our country’s strength and even calls it the “brightest beacon for freedom.” This event was a suicide bombing of the World Trade Center where approximately 3,000 people were killed and nearly 6,000 more were injured. Although it was one of the worst attacks in American history, it unified the nation in more ways than one. This speech was made even more important after a tragedy like 9/11 because the nation had been frightened by these acts of terror and was in need of the inspiration of our most powerful leader: the commander-in-chief. Throughout this speech, Bush uses rhetorical devices such as pathos, analogy, epithet, and asyndeton

    If the reader actually thinks about this statement and does not just skim over it, then they would notice how sad this statement actually is. The people only hear what their government wants them to hear. The United States is no different, but the media is not controlled to the same extent it is in North Korea. Zinser uses this statement to make the reader think about we can learn from media and how making it into a comedy show the audience does not take seriously. Another place Zinser uses emotional appeal is when he wrote, “Journalist, like Tom Fenton have blamed the media for failing to anticipate the pre-9/11 threat posed by terrorism” (Graff 364).

    On March 28th, I had the pleasure of attending the Broadway show called “The Play That Goes Wrong,” located at the Lycuem Theatre on 149 West 45th Street. On this particular Tuesday evening, I just had a vibe that something wrong was going to happen in this play – shockingly. I did believe this play will truly be memorable judging by the fun quirk of the show’s name. After watching the performance for about two hours, I can conclude that this play went beyond my expectation as its set disasters and characters amusingly caught the attention of me and the rest of the audience.

    The news takes a story and use their creativity to word the story in such a way, that anyone can be seen as the bad person. To take a small situation and manipulate it into some enormous problem that needs to be addressed is something that happens all too often on social media and news sources. Trump and Kim Jong-un are two people that the media loves to discuss about. When the North Korean Supreme Leader had talked about a nuke in their possession that can potentially reach Hawaii, Trump backlashed by talking about the nukes and rockets the United States that can be launched. A cartoon illustrated by The Federalist Papers, shows president Trump facing off with Kim Jong-un with a bunch of war-heads facing Kim.
