Read Diego’s introduction to his rhetorical analysis essay.A man looks out at a million intense faces. They have traveled from far and wide to hear his words. They have come with family and friends and now unite with strangers converging on the green. The swelling crowd is silent as he begins to speak. As his words ring out across the National Mall, hearts swell and tears begin to fall. It is a new era in history. Martin Luther King Jr.’s "I Have a Dream” speech sends a mighty message that is particularly effective due to its use of analogy, anaphora, and parallelism.

Read the excerpt that Jonas found from healthyrecommendations.blogspot.com from 2020. He knows that the USDA is the United States Department of Agriculture.Everyone knows that drinking ample water is vital for a healthy lifestyle. But how much of this precious substance must you consume? The USDA says the amount of water you need depends on different things, such as how much you exercise. This esteemed organization says you should make sure to get enough water, but even they stress that you probably don’t need to worry about drinking too much water. The USDA’s website links to Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) tables you can reference to help you plan how much water to drink.

Read the excerpt from a job manual.One of the first guidelines that new employees in retail generally learn is that "the customer is always right.” Many companies rely on repeat business and word of mouth to grow. If customers have bad experiences, they are less likely to return and will tell friends about their frustrations. New employees need to remember to always put the customer first, even if it goes against other company policies, or they will lose their job.

Read the excerpt from radrollersports.comThe history of roller skating goes back a lot further than you would think. Back in 1743, actors strapped wheels onto their shoes in a play, attempting to show that they were ice skating. These weren’t the quad, or four-wheeled, roller skates you see today; those weren’t invented until 1863. According to the National Museum of Roller Skating, James Plimpton not only invented quad skates but also made them popular. Then, as they say, the rest is history! Roller skating remains a popular pastime today; it is a relatively inexpensive, fun exercise that requires no special equipment besides the skates themselves. You don’t need a team, either—just you and the sidewalk, and you’re participating in the sport. Although it is technically a solo activity, there is no other sport that fosters friendships like skating; the skating community is a bonded group of people who have unbridled passion for the same thing: roller skating.

Ian is writing a rhetorical analysis of Hillary Clinton’s address to the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women. He wants to make his last sentence more analytical. Clinton states, "I believe that now, on the eve of a new millennium, it is time to break the silence. It is time for us to say here in Beijing, and for the world to hear, that it is no longer acceptable to discuss women's rights as separate from human rights.” With these words, she rouses her listeners to speak out.

Read the excerpt titled "Movies are In, Books are Out.”Physical books are becoming a thing of the past in education. Movies based on books are more inclusive to all learners and allow for viewers to visualize what the author intended on a screen rather than in their minds. Movie viewers are able to better answer questions about characterization if they can see what the character is like. Viewers are le ss likely to become distracted while a movie is playing in comparison to reading a novel. Students reading independently are often off task and distracted. There are many who claim that film cannot be used to teach literary elements, but in my book, Finding Ways to Teach Differently, this topic is discussed in depth. Not only will I supply the background and research to support this new approach to teaching literature, but I will also provide concrete examples of how these techniques can be directly applied in the classroom. – Aiyana Bearly, Ed.D, associate professor of Literature Education at Koopla College (June 2019)

Read the excerpt from Bianca’s speech, "Dress Codes Are Out.”School dress codes are outdated and superficial. Students should be allowed to wear what makes them comfortable and make the learning environment more conducive. School dress codes have been around since the 1960s, when schools could tell a student how to wear their hair. As time went on, school districts used dress codes as a way to set the academic tone and prevent rule breaking. But how did that benefit students—then OR now? Simon Ippolito of Foxtown University found that dress codes do not help prepare students for the workplace. He continues by stating that schools should focus on skills that teach students how to problem-solve rather than concern themselves with students’ individual styles. Additionally, researchers found that there was no relationship between dress codes and academic performance. School districts are slowly phasing out dress codes.

Read the sample post.Given the composition of the human body, the idea that consuming eight glasses of water per day could be sufficient is ludicrous. Who in their right mind could truly believe that a body could survive on just eight glasses per day when the body itself is made of a very high percentage of water? Furthermore, it’s not as though it’s particularly hard to carry a water bottle with you and drink regularly throughout the day; in fact, this is the minimum you should be expected to do to maintain your health. Twelve glasses per day should be the goal for any reasonable human being, and it is my greatest hope that you, as a reader of this book, are indeed a reasonable person.– "Maximize Water to Maximize Health” by Tim Johnson, eReader Self-Publications, 2020

Read the excerpt from Carla’s rhetorical analysis essay. Clinton uses pathos when she says, "No one should be forced to remain silent for fear of religious or political persecution, arrest, abuse, or torture.” I believe she uses this appeal successfully by incorporating provocative diction to create an emotional response in her audience.

Read the excerpt from "Politics and the English Language" by George Orwell.There is a long list of fly-blown metaphors which could similarly be got rid of if enough people would interest themselves in the job; and it should also be possible to laugh the not ‘un-’ formation out of existence, to reduce the amount of Latin and Greek in the average sentence, to drive out foreign phrases and strayed scientific words, and, in general, to make pretentiousness unfashionable. But all these are minor points. The defense of the English language implies more than this, and perhaps it is best to start by saying what it does not imply.

Read the passage from "To Autumn."Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core
