When making a decision on who the next president should be, one tends to look at who the supporters of the particular candidate are. There is, however, one particular candidate who has the support of the nation’s very own first lady and that person is Hillary Clinton. In an article published by “The Washington Post”, it provides the entire transcript that was used when Michelle Obama delivered her speech to the Democratic National Convention, in Philadelphia about why she believes that the next U.S. president should be Mrs. Clinton. One of many persuasive techniques that Mrs. Obama uses in her speech is pathos, which is when one attempts to persuade someone into doing something through the use of emotions. Mrs. Obama uses pathos successfully because she compels the audience to empathize with her, motivates them into taking action, and provides a reasonable argument as to why she believes that Hillary Clinton should be president.

Past leaders such as Andrew Jackson, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Marc Antony are evidence that society does not reward morality and good character in leadership. Society is drawn to leaders that have good rhetoric, propaganda, and charismatic personalities, and society supports them despite their immorality. Society is concerned about stability more than the morality of their leaders and will support immoral leaders in times of crisis to provide stability. In history there have been multiple leaders that have used rhetoric, propaganda and charismatic personalities to gain power, despite their morals.
My definition of rhetoric before the readings was simply: successful written or oral communication with a clear purpose & audience in mind. After completing the readings, I have decided that is not specific enough and does not encompass what rhetoric really is. The readings by Crusus, Channell, and Drucker helped establish a clear relationship between argument, “mature reasoning”, and communication as a mode used to communicate. Both of the readings provided a clearer understanding of argument and communication, key components to rhetoric, but did not change my definition until I read “The Rhetorical Situation” by Bitzer. The idea of a rhetorical situation, provided a clear application of the question: “What is rhetoric?”
Sarcastically Angry In Cheryl Pecks essay titled “Fatso” she conveys personal stories that have caused her pain throughout her life. Peck is an angry woman that has reached out to her readers to focus their attention to the pain she has felt since she was a child, and still feels today. I like the way she gives clear narrates for readers to envision situations, while using a sarcastically bitter tone to belittle the ones she herself was belittled by. Recalling a painful experience as a child, and how all the comments that were made have initiated her to have similar views about herself as an adult. When Peck speaks of a conversation with her friend Anne about a statement made to the gentleman Anne went to the fair with.
The patient medical form, as a genre primarily used for information gathering and record keeping, is structured in such a way that it allows the reader the necessary information concerning the patient’s past medical history, as well as any other relevant or current information that would aid the physician in constructing diagnosis and treatment. This is another example of the rhetoric appeal for the genre. The audience of the genre, the patient when filling out the form, gets a sense of a __________ due the genre’s writing structure and rhetor. The rhetor utilizes basic vocabulary so that even an average person, even illiterate in the field of medicine is well aware about what is being asked.
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
