    The article “Miscalculation on Visas Disrupts Lives of Highly Skilled Immigrants” (2015), by Julia Preston, states the State Department and Homeland Security allowed the department to give anticipating immigrants news of them being able to take the next step to obtain a green card. 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. She starts off her article powerfully by providing context for those who are unaware of the situation; in the beginning of September, the State Department told thousands of highly skilled legal immigrants that they “would be able to advance early to the next step: filing a formal application.”…

    In the following article from 2002, author Melissa Greene, uses a past experience of a tragic death in her high school to draw conclusions about the Layla House Orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Greene uses a European/American stereotype style of writing to express her views on what will be the future for children in orphanages that have tested positive for the HIV/AIDS virus. Throughout the article Greene, reflects on how most children who have a positive HIV/AID result will not be adopted into the United States due to families not “wanting” a child with a deathly disease and in contrary the US should extend their arms to these children the most. Out of the positive babies in African orphanages, 75% of them will pass away before age two where as babies in the United States who have received successful HIV/AIDS treatment are projected to live a longer life by a factor of 90% less deaths from 1994 until 2002. () One of the many misconceptions of the HIV/AIDS virus is the origination of the disease.…

    Today, I learned what it means to exhibit energy and enthusiasm whenever I present to the audience. It was made clear to me the meaning of enthusiasm, which is an exceptional excitement, interest, or devotion expressed through and in the way words is used. If I have excitement about the subject, it will make my speech come alive and therefore captures the attention of my audience. I also learned that enthusiasm could be reflected in my facial expression, voice, gestures and the words I use, while I need energy, zeal to exhibit these enthusiasms. With this I have learned, from now on, the way I present would definitely be different from what it use to be because “nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm”- Ralph Waldo Emerson.…

    Writing a rhetorical analysis for my article in my opinion had truly made me capable of picking apart the strategies the authors used to construct the article effectively. I was able to recognize what type of strategy the authors used to effectively persuade the readers to lower the temperature of hot beverages.

Although I had some strong points, I would like to point out a weakness I saw after I submitted my analysis.…
