On 1-12-2016 at about 1715 hrs I was dispatched to a theft report, which occurred at the Seasons on Lea Hill 12722 SE 312TH ST, Auburn/King/Wa. Upon arrival I contacted the victim, Armando Chavez at his apartment 6A. Armando stated that several days ago, no precise date, he went to his bank to deposit money into his account. Armando stated he banked at Alaska USA. Armando was advised by a teller that he had a negative money in his account and it looked as if someone had attempted to deposit money from his account.…

Procrastination affects many people, I even procrastinated writing this paper. The ways that it affects us can be different, sometimes procrastination doesn’t affect us too much, but other time it can cause major health risks such as, stress or depression. Recognizing this, Tim Urban presented a Ted Talk on procrastination and the dangers it can have. In his Ted Talk “Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator”, Urban used pathos with a minimal amount of logos and ethos to express his message to his to the audience. Urban also used pictures to support his use of pathos.…
“A man who has given away a small fortune, forsaken a loving family, abandoned his car, watch, and map, and burned the last of his money before traipsing off into the wilderness” (71).

The story tells the readers of the book:all the different people he met on his journey, where he want and how he died. As the author writees about Chris’s life and his connections with the story he includes many different types of writting styles including rhetoricstragides.…
Chavez sensibly incorporates the inevitable negative effects of violent resistance to illustrate to the reader its inferiority in comparison to nonviolence. Violence, argues Chavez, will result in, “many injuries and perhaps death on both sides,” and eventually the, “total demoralization,” (19-20) of the involved persons, in his specific case, the Floridian farm workers. The incorporation of the results violence produces is significant because it emphasizes the effectiveness of nonviolence as a way of promoting humane change. Chavez also utilizes rhetorical question to highlight the negative consequences violence is accompanied by. Through asking the reader, “Who gets killed in the case of violent revolution?”…
Imagine having to bend down from dawn to dusk, working in 100 degree weather while picking out fruits and vegetables without any breaks. It’s exhausting, boring, and hurts your back. There are no bathroom facilities including having to sleep in a uncomfortable small dirty shack. You’re paid very little which is about a dollar an hour. Although grateful to have work, you feel disrespected.…
What truly stood out for me was an elderly Latino woman holding another sign that said “stop the deportation of dreamers”. To me this shows exactly what Chavez was fighting for in his article. This elderly woman and the people in the protest just want to be citizens in the county they love. That sign the woman is holding up is the basis of what this country was built upon. The land of the dreamers and the free.…
Government is a system of legislators that act on the part of the people, to actively promote a healthy and interactive community - or at least that is what the concept of government was originally. However, government has evolved through those who control it, and oftentimes the role of the government in civilian life is viewed negatively by the governed. Those governed do not always agree with how the system is run, which has created friction between the two parties. Acts of rebellion are often violent, but peaceful protests also are led in order to bring attention to issues, and enact change. “On the Duty of Civil Disobedience”, an essay by Henry David Thoreau, expresses his thoughts on the government and how citizens should respond to governmental issues.…
Henry David Thoreau’s “Civil Disobedience” was a well written excerpt from 1848, which discussed the many issues on the power, process, and abilities of the United States government. One of the main problems he talks about is the problem of the government overruling the majority to their own legislative consciences. He believed that because of this, the American government was corrupt and faulty. He states: “The standing army is only an arm of the standing government. The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it”.…
Since the founding of America, there been change whether it’s politically, socially, or economically. For example, the Revolutionary war began because Americans wanted to be its own nation. They wanted change in the leadership and to be their own nation. Then, slavery became an issue in 1619 and didn’t end until 1865 with the civil war. In between that time views on slavery changed where the north wanted to end slavery.…
Henry David Thoreau, born July 12, 1817 in Concord, Massachusetts, was known to be an American transcendentalist and philosopher. Thoreau became known for the essay he wrote when he spent a night in jail due to his refusal to pay taxes in objection to slavery and the Mexican War. The essay was published and titled “Resistance of Civil Government” but also known as “Civil Disobedience.” It is unsurprising that the government is dirty and corrupt so the purpose of the essay was to influence readers to not fear but protest government laws and commands or vote them out.…
Through nonviolent protest, the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s achieved the most important breakthrough in equal rights legislation and fought against racial discrimination. Ten years subsequent to Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination and in a form of honor, Cesar Chavez, a labor union organizer and civil rights leader, delivered his speech in 1978, “He Showed Us The Way,” in time where equality for African-Americans was overlooked. Due to a rise of hatred and conflict between those who fought for civil rights and the government, Chavez attempts to prove that nonviolence is the better alternative compared to violence in resolving conflicts. Chavez makes it appear that nonviolence triumphs violence and leaves little to no doubt…
The dedication and the sensible rebellion can influence the listener to help input what they can to help fight for rights. This civil rights activist also uses exclamatory syntax in his speech to emphasize why he is fighting for the farm workers. The exclamation point in the sentence, “FROM THIS DAY WE DEMAND TO BE TREATED LIKE THE MEN WE ARE!” (paragraph 1) boldly states the goal of the strike. Not only does Cesar Chavez appeal to logos in this sentence but he also accentuates what he wants from the rest of the society.…
The three American activists, Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X, are all widely known to Americans today well beyond their influence on the occasional street name or bank holiday. These are activists who were highly influential and charismatic, able to cultivate followers and establish social movement to realize their ideological agendas. Perhaps not as widely known as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, Cesar Chavez was essential in not only the negotiation of hundreds of labor contracts but a landmark case in California which made farmworkers the only ones in the nation protected by union activity (Smithsonian para. 5). Out of his policies and promotion of boycotts, he gave farmworkers a sense of dignity and the right to fair wages.…
