...Throughout the first ten paragraphs of the essay King is establishing his ethos. He does this a number of times. First, within the first few words, he says “My dear fellow Clergymen,” by saying the word fellow he is able to establish that they are equals and that he is just as able to talk about the topic as they are, and he is not trying to say he is better than them. Next, in paragraph two, Dr. King establishes his ethos with the statement “I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.” This shows that he is eligible and qualified to inform us on his argument. King doesn’t just establish his ethos in the beginning of the essay, he actually does it throughout. Dr. King also uses pathos throughout his entire letter. He makes the audience care, and uses emotionalism to his advantage. Again, the biggest example is throughout all of paragraph twelve. When King goes into detail about telling his daughter that she is not aloud at an amusement park due to her race and how she increasingly becomes bitter towards white people, it makes everyone who is reading care. King provides pathos for the his direct audience, the clergymen, and for his indirect audience, which is practically...

Pernet And Child Observation Ben Brown April 7, 2002 Report Child And Parent Behavior Observation I am almost always surrounded by the interactions between children and their parents. I hear it at my work, I hear it in restaurants, but most of all I hear it at my house. My mother owns a daycare and every night I listen parents being hit by a barrage of questions. When children are being picked up they always have a couple of questions for their parents. Children are always asking about the meal for the night or whether they can go over to a friend's house or have some body over. Every night I see 12 different children with twelve different parents and it seems that each parent acts differently then the next. When I thought of observing the children that attend my mothers daycare I decide that I should observe the interactions between the daycares "Problem Child" and his mother. The boy that I chose to observe seemed to have no respect for anyone or anything. He often made obvious lies and played practical jokes that physically hurt the other children. On the Friday night that I observed him and his mother he was playing on the swing set out back when his mother arrived...

...Aaron Hailey 2.9.15 Comparison-Contrast Essay Block 2 Cowardice can be shown in many ways. Torturing others and putting fear into the hearts of innocent people is one of them. In Yevgeny Yevtushenko’s “A Precocious Autobiography” and Burton Raffel’s translation of Beowulf, Red, a Russian bully who rules the streets of his neighborhood, and Grendel, a terrifying monster who can never be loved by God, are two bullies who, though they are worlds apart, share many of the same characteristics. Like red, Grendel enjoys petrifying his victims with his intimidating presence. Red has an advantage over the other boys because he is much bigger than them. “Red could stop any boy and say impressively the one word “money”(490). He appears to be unbreakable with his strong build, but the reader should know that just like any other bully, red is a coward deep down. Grendel’s appearance would send chills through pretty much anyone’s spine since he is the Devil’s child. Grendel is described as a “powerful monster, living down in the darkness” (ii 1-2). Even though he is a demon, he’s still capable of being a coward. He insists on feeding on the lives of innocent people who stand no chance against him. If that isn’t pure cowardice, I don’t know what is. However, Grendel works alone while Red works with his “lieutenants.” Red needs the assistance of other boys so that he may look much tougher than he actually is. “Two or three lieutenants, in peaked caps back to front like Red’s, trotted...

This case study of Ramirez focuses on the possible motives and factors that may have contributed to his brutal crimes. Ramirez was convicted for 13 murders, five attempted murders, 11 sexual assaults, and 14 burglaries.

...Twelve Angry Men Essay The 3rd Juror says that “everybody deserves a fair trial.” Does the defendant in this case get a fair trial? Twelve Angry Men, a play by Reginald Rose, was written in 1955 at a time when America was involved in a cold war with communist countries. It shows the strength of a deliberative process that enables individuals, who have “nothing to gain or lose,” to reach a verdict. In the American jury system “everybody deserves a fair trial” and in Twelve Angry Men the defendant gets a very fair trial. All the jurors have their own opinions on the case but in the end a decision is made. The jury, and the audience, never discovers if in fact the defendant did murder his father. His guilt or innocence seems to be almost irrelevant. At the beginning of the play the vote was 11-1 in favour of guilty but the 8th Juror convinces the others to have another vote. As the play progresses more and more jurors being to change their vote and by the end of the play the vote was 11-1 in favour of ‘not guilty.’ The defendant does get a fair trial because throughout the play there was enough “reasonable doubt” for him to be guilty. The 10th juror had no intentions on giving the defendant a ‘fair trial’ and just wanted him to be sent to the “electric chair.” By the play’s end all twelve men had agreed to a “not guilty” vote. The 8th Juror had managed, by simply pointing out “sometimes the facts that are staring you in the face are wrong!” to convince even the strongest advocates...

...Florence Kelley Rhetorical Analysis Essay Social worker and reformer, Florence Kelley, in the speech she delivered to the convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia on July 22, 1905, argues the need for change in child labor. She supports her claim by first mentioning facts such as “no other portion of the wage earning class increased so rapidly”(Kelley), then by mentioning the hard lives children have, and finally by stating she will take a stand. Kelley’s purpose is to inform and influence the American Society in order to change child labor policies. Throughout her speech, Kelley uses the three rhetorical appeals to make the audience think, take action, and feel sympathetic. To begin with, Kelley used the rhetorical appeal, ethos, to establish her credibility and make the American Society question their morals. “But we are almost powerless. Not wholly powerless, however, are citizens who enjoy the right of petition. For myself, I shall use this power in every possible way…”(Kelley). By stating this, Kelley strengthened her ethos by portraying herself a role model, saying that she will do anything she can in her power to bring change. By using the...

...Cole Evans September 24th, 2014 12 Part Essay College Writing I Prof. Stockwell A New Era ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- “The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings.” Dave Weinbaum One Last Wake Up Call The sharp sound of my mother’s voice cut through my shield of sleep, abruptly jerking me awake. “Cole! Wake up!” Any other morning my usual routine would be to just completely ignore her, pull the pillow over my head and roll back to sleep, but this wasn’t just any other morning. This morning was determined as the end of my childhood and the start of my collegiate career and, evidently, the rest of my life. The sound of my mother’s voice filled me with both a sense of melancholy and excitement. I was about to leave everything that I had ever known behind and strike out on my own. The events of this day had been played out over and over again in my mind for months now, but little did I know that things rarely happen how you expect them to. Being the first to arrive at the dorm means getting the pick of the litter in regards to which bed I wanted. I chose the one by the window. That first day of college was nothing more than an exhausting blur. Everything I experienced was completely new; every building, every face, every name. I didn’t know anybody, and by the end of the day I could barely even remember my own name, let alone the names of the people I was supposed to...

...Rhetorical Analysis Essay The early 1900s married a time of child labor reformers and women's rights activists, as America reeled with children in the work force from the rapid industrialization during the Gilded Age and women advocating for their rights as Progressivism swept across the country. Florence Kelley, a women’s rights activist, delivered a passionate speech confronting the inhumane character of child labor employing rhetorical questions to guide the listener’s thoughts, parallelism and repetition to emphasize significant points in her argument, and current examples to provide a logical foundation on which she constructs her speech. Like many other women’s rights activists, Kelley readily took a stand against child labor when she...

...A veil is an article of clothing or cloth hanging that is intended to cover some part of the head or face, or an object of some significance. It is especially associated with women and sacred objects. One view is that as a religious item, it is intended to show honor to an object or space. The actual sociocultural, psychological, and sociosexual functions of veils have not been studied extensively but most likely include the maintenance of social distance and the communication of social status and cultural identity.[1][2] In Islamic society, various forms of the veil have been adopted from the Arab culture in which Islam arose The first recorded instance of veiling for women is recorded in an Assyrian legal text from the 13th century BC, which restricted its use to noble women and forbade prostitutes and common women from adopting it.[citation needed] The Mycenaean Greek term a-pu-ko-wo-ko meaning "craftsman of horse veil" written in Linear B syllabic script is also attested since ca. 1300 BC.[3][4] In ancient Greek the word for veil was "καλύπτρα" (kaluptra, Ionic Greek "καλύπτρη" - kaluptrē, from the verb "καλύπτω" - kaluptō, "I cover"[5]) and is first attested in the works of Homer.[6][7] Classical Greek and Hellenistic statues sometimes depict Greek women with both their head and face covered by a veil. Caroline Galt and Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones have both argued from such representations and literary references that it was commonplace for women (at least those of higher...

...Joshua Mage Eng-111 Reflective Essay Perspectives As Changing as the Tides It’s amazing how our perspective changes as we grow. I grew up a southern boy. As a matter of fact, my childhood home was about six blocks from the Gulf of Mexico, making my childhood about as southern as one could ever hope to have. I have fond memories of aquamarine waters. My childhood friends and I would hop on our bike with all the fishing gear we could muster up packed in a red ryder wagon attached securely to the back of our bikes with a little twine. The harbor master knew to look out for us, and knew which phone numbers to call, if we decided to start act foolishly. I spent a countless amount of time on that beach fishing, floundering, crabbing, and swimming in these waters. I relocated to the mountains when I was just hitting my teenage years. My adolescence was filled with all the perils, life lessons, and memories that have given that stage of life such a wonderful stigma. At the age of twenty, I married the girl next door (literally) and began my adult life. Shortly after getting married, we decided to take a road trip. We departed on a month and a half trip of the southern U.S. with the first stop being that of my home town. We arrived in the night, tired and road-worn from the nice twelve hour day on the country’s interstates. With sleep the only thing on our minds, we settled in at my family’s home. As I laid down, I was struck with excitement for what the next morning would bring...

...body odour, their faces are slightly dirty and they are in need of haircuts. My first instinct is to ignore them, as I have done so many times in the past. I don’t owe these kids anything, I think to myself. Yet, something in their eyes sparks an intense sadness inside me. “What are your names?” I ask them after a few seconds of silence. The taller boy answers first. “I’m Marco,” he points to the boy standing next to him, “and this is Peter.” I hand Marco a paper bag with four doughnuts inside. He reaches inside with his dirty hands and gives two doughnuts to his friend, who eats them greedily. “Thank you”, they say together. It becomes clear that they haven’t eaten in a while. I discover the boys ages. Marco is fourteen and Peter is twelve. Both have turned the streets into their homes. They met each other on a street corner in Bellville where they had been begging for food. They soon became friends and started sharing whatever they could find with one another. How did they end up on here? What are two children doing on the streets in the first place? I wonder. Where their parents are, their families, and their homes? The two boys...

...Alejandro Guerrero English 3.5 12 April 2015 Rhetorical Analysis Essay In the early twentieth century, America was plagued with the disease of child labor, a work force that was marred with kids of all ages, from ages two to twelve that inhabited nearly every facet of the new industrial age that had grasped hold of post Civil War America. Throughout the masterfully crafted essay, Kelley emphasizes the need to radically reform the corporate system in which the helpless young are being coerced into a childhood spoiled by the capitalist desires of an ever-evolving country. Kelley uses an arsenal of rhetorical devices to heighten her points and explain the severity of the economic and social travesty that was sweeping the country during the era. Among the ranks are the uses of logical claims, emotional appeal, and skillful imagery that help Kelley develop her argument into one that is masterful and effective in its conviction. At its core, the argument is geared to be its most compelling through Kelley’s assimilation of logical assertions based solely on the premise of immoral and unrighteous exploitation of children. In her piece, Kelley equips a barrage of specific and convincing examples to explicate her reasons on why she believes the employment of underage individuals is not only illegal, but devalues the very morals and principles that human civilization is built upon, an unwritten rule of ethical code that no individual human nor all encompassing society may ever...

...Essay #3 Everyone looks like they are having a great time, people are yelling, people are laughing, people are spilling drinks on the bright white kitchen tile. It was just the right place to be at, on a chilly Friday night in Hancock. The house was full to the max; anyone at that party definitely had a hard time getting through to opposite end. The music was at the right volume, not to low, but not too high so police would not have to be called. It was around twelve when the party was really starting to get going. The refrigerator was stocked full of beer, the freezer was full of liquor, there was also two jugs full of jungle juice. All they needed was the crew from “The Hangover” movies and it would have been the best party of all time. The owners of the house knew exactly how to prepare for this big event. The reason for this party was for two guys’ birthday. They just wanted to throw one big bash together instead of having it separate weekends. As the clock came around to one things started to heat up a bit more on the “dance floor” of the house. Two girls started to make out like crazy, everybody was cheering them on, and then the wildest thing happened. One of the girls flashed everyone that was on the “dance floor”. Everybody by this point was a bit intoxicated, but nobody cared. Everybody was just raging on to some hip hop music, while singing along to the music. Just when this party could not get any better, it got worse, flashing red and blue lights filled...

...Dehumanization Essay Dehumanization can be described as a behavior or process that undermines the rights and individuality of others. Fredrick Douglas was born into slavery in 1817. He was often beaten and whipped. He lived a rough life as a slave. He taught himself how to read and earned his freedom. Solomon Northup unlike Frederick was born a freeman, he was then kidnapped and sold to the Red River region of Louisiana. For the next twelve years he was property of several different slave owners, where he was whipped and beaten. Before he was freed by some northerners. Dehumanization happened to both Fredrick Douglas and Solomon Northup in the 1800 hundreds, and they both had to persevere to overcome it. “They ain't hired help. They're my property.” - Edwin Epps. (1:43:01) Edwin Epps was a mean slave owner. We constantly whipped and beat his slaves. Patsy one of his slaves went to get soap from the neighbor because she picked twice as much cotton as any other slave, and when she got back she was whipped twice as much. He also raped her. He was often drunk, and when he was drunk he got angry and violent. He didn't see his slaves as humans but as property that he could do whatever he wanted with them....
