To demonstrate, critic David Vanderwerken acknowledges that the most powerful of these inversions is the reversal of the relationship between father and son. According to Vanderwerken, the father will help the son make the transition from “dependence to independence” but in Night the “...roles are completely reversed; the son becomes the parent” (Vanderwerken 64). This transposal becomes extremely apparent upon Wiesel and his father’s arrival at Buchenwald. It is there that his father, already frail, completely breaks down; he speaks feverishly of things that never happened and relies more and more heavily on his son as a provider. An example of this would be when Wiesel discovers his father in his bed, crying that his neighbors were beating…
Trust was built, not only for Ron, but also for Denver. Until the situation presented, Ron still questioned the ability to trust Denver, and Denver questioned why he should be trusted, and why Ron would trust a homeless man with his money, truck, and daughter’s possessions. I believe that the situation is one of the most significant lessons of the book. Both men had to rely on faith, in a situation that could have become disastrous quickly. I believe that both, Ron and Denver, learned from the situation, and could trust without fear.…
In Philadelphia in 1861, Alfred M. Green addressed African Americans during the Civil War to propose that they try to join the ranks of the Union army in the fight to end slavery. To do this effectively, Green empathized with and instilled a sense of camaraderie in his fellow African Americans to make his idea persuasive and convincing. One of the ways in which Green is able to empathize with his audience is by naming the significant injustices that have been brought upon them as a group. In lines 15-18, Green states, “it is true that our injuries in many respects are great; fugitive-slave laws, Dred Scott decisions, indictments for treason, and long dreary months of imprisonment,” which gives his audience common experiences to relate over…

There are many ways that people in positions of power influence society. Whether it’s someone who is a preacher like Jonathan Edwards that influence the behavior of their congregation, or sSomeone like Patrick Henry who used his position of wealth in Virginia to preach the idea of liberty from Britain in Colonial America. They all seem to have one thing in common, they all use rhetoric in some shape or form in their orations to their audiences.

In this passage, Richard Louv states that modern Americans still continue to lose what little contact they have with nature as time goes on, and this trend needs to stop. In order to persuade his intended audience, current adults who grew up in his generation, Louv speaks to them on their own terms by using emotional appeals. Specifically, Louv uses rhetorical questions that cause readers to fully reevaluate their stances on the matter, specific diction that evokes strong emotional responses, and anecdotes that most parents or generation X-ers can agree with.

It is nearly impossible to change someone’s mind without first asking him or her to evaluate his or her lifestyle from a different angle.…

The author provides background information about the situation, along with reasons as to why the incident occurred, and its impact on immigrants. Preston attempts to inform about the episode and provide an explanation to the immigrants involved, through the use of rhetorical appeals. Preston establishes ethos before the article starts, as she is a reporter of a reputable newspaper, which gives her credibility.

Even though many may disagree on the approach, the bottom line is that we all want to be healthier.

In recent times, the complicated issue of obesity has been under intense debate. While some skeptics insist that it is blown way out of proportion, I argue that obesity should be a serious concern because the evidence is straightforward: gaining too much weight increases the likelihood of heart problems, diabetes, and death. However, an even more pressing matter is what we should do to solve this predicament.…
