Oppurtunity is a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something. In the Outliners Chapter two “ The 10,000 Hour Rule” is all about oppurtunities that have led some of the most iconic people in history to success.

A Response to McCloskey McCloskey uses the term “proof” throughout his article, to indicate arguments, such as the cosmological, teleological, and the argument from design, that he claims theists use as points in an argument for a sovereign God. McCloskey’s argument that if one point is weak, then all should be abandoned is rather obtuse and close minded. McCloskey refutes the proofs in just several pages, but neglects to mention how all 3 of them collectively get far closer to solid evidence than

Let me start by saying that David Sibley uses many rhetorical strategies throughout his essay.

During Gladwell’s speech, he fails in effectively using some rhetorical elements. To start with, he displays dogmatism by using absolute word choices to make it feel as if there is only one way. For instance, he states, “the little hits that a lineman will get on absolutely every play in absolutely every practice and game” will lead to damage of the brain (Gladwell). Although, not every lineman on every play will receive hits to their heads. This makes his claim a fallacy and discredits his case

Rhetoric is the use of language and literary devices that manipulate written works to aid in persuasion. Double speaks is language used to evade responsibility, to make the unpleasant appear pleasant; it is language that pretends to communicate but does not effectively communicate.
