Does the analysis assess the article’s value and persuasiveness?

/in /by

Task:
Begin writing Essay #2: your analysis of one of the assigned sources. Please use the “Helpful Analysis Questions” and Analysis Workshop Questions found in Week Six’s folder as guides. Your essay will not be completely finished yet (the final is 1000 words), but this will give us a good start. Does the draft start by naming the source, its author, and its main idea? Pay particular attention to the main idea: Is this accurately and clearly stated? Do you think the writer has in fact named the article’s main idea? Does the analysis provide a context for the argument, such as genre, audience, purpose, etc.? Is this context precisely defined? If the context seems vague or overly general to you (“the article is about the internet,” for example), can you suggest ways the writer might make it more precise? Does the analysis then proceed to examine the article’s use of appeals to be persuasive, appeal to the audience, address constraints, etc. ( logos use of evidence, appeals to reason, logic, and pathos-emotions, etc. Does the analysis discuss how effective these appeals are? Does the discussion make one or more clear points about the kinds of evidence the source uses? Does the analysis address the how the author creates a sense of credibility or ethos with their audience?
Does the analysis address the article’s organization, tone, etc. Does the analysis assess the article’s value and persuasiveness? Are these dependent on the audience reading the article? (In other words, is the article persuasive to some but not to others? Why?)Do you agree with your classmate’s assessment of the article? Have they missed some key points or misunderstood anything. Help them out. Point to any places where the language confuses you or is hard to follow. Do the in-text citations and work cited formulas look correct. Point out any errors
you see.

Write a Reflection in which you identify specific ways that the essay’s author uses one of the three means of persuasion.

/in /by

For this Reflection, you will apply what you have been learning about Aristotle’s three means of persuasion. First, pick one of the four essays that you read about the question, “Should every American go to college?” You may choose whichever essay you prefer.

Next, write a Reflection in which you identify specific ways that the essay’s author uses one of the three means of persuasion. That is, your Reflection should identify examples of the ways the essay’s author uses either logos, pathos, or ethos. Provide specific details, and, for each example, explain why you think that it is, in fact, an example of that means of persuasion.

As always, your Writing Reflection should be about 150-200 words in length (feel free to go over 200, if you like)

Write a memoir essay, roughly five pages in length, about the most peculiar thing that has ever happened to you, or that you have ever witnessed

/in /by

Please write a memoir essay, roughly five pages in length, about the most peculiar thing that has ever happened to you, or that you have ever witnessed (or have even heard about). Your essay should engage readers and, at the same time, help them understand the significance of the event. Try your best to choose an event that changed you in some way. Tell your story dramatically and vividly, incorporating dialogue, setting description, characterization, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution, exposition, imagery and detail, etc.

Construct an essay with a main point that compares and contrasts the two poems.

/in /by

Two poems, one from Wordsworth one from Keats. Construct an essay with a main point that compares and contrasts the two poems. Please, try to avoid searching the internet for help, the writer’s own ideas is important. For the format, analyze Wordsworth in the first 1/2 of your essay, and then analyze Keats in the second 1/2, with comparative points made in the second 1/2 via loopbacks (“Unlike Wordsworth, Keats …”). This allows for a less mechanical development; we don’t get dizzy bouncing back-and-forth, and you keep from fracturing your analysis of each poet.

Discuss the similarities you find between your character and the mythic archetype.

/in /by

Please write a 1-2 page journal reflecting on the following prompt:
Choose a fictional character from a story we haven’t read as part of the class. This may be a character from a movie, a television show, a short story, a comic, or a novel. Complete a basic analysis of your character determining their character type with reasoning [example: dynamic anti-hero]. Then, compare your character to a Greek god or goddess, or one of the Endless. Discuss the similarities you find between your character and the mythic archetype. As you compare, consider why these traits might be repeated in this modern form.
Hint: While only one page is required, if you have thought critically and completely, you should end up with at least 1 1/2 pages. You have an extended deadline, so think deeply about your choices.

Describe a time you thought you saw someone from a momentary glance, maybe even said hello, only to realize embarrassingly late that you were wrong.

/in /by

1. Our perceptual experiences often lead us to have incorrect beliefs about the world. Philosophers have been talking about this since Descartes (and maybe you’ve seen The Matrix). Describe a time you thought you saw someone from a momentary glance, maybe even said hello, only to realize embarrassingly late that you were wrong. Use the reading to explain what this tells us about perception.

2. Memory is often unreliable. Think back to yesterday. Can you describe the outfits that the people you live with were wearing? What point from the reading does this illustrate?

3. We often only notice evidence of the things we want to believe; this is called confirmation bias. A clear example of this phenomenon can be seen in chores around the house. If you ask each person who lives in a house what percentage of the household chores they do, the number typically exceeds 100%. This is because each person notices all of the work they do, but only part, if any at all, of the work that others do. In many cases, this confirms their own positive self-image. Now think about yourself. What percentage of household chores do you do? (Whatever your answer, you’re probably over-estimating your own contribution). How do you account for your own self-serving confirmation bias?

4. Have you ever known someone who watches a single Youtube video and then talks as if they are an expert on the topic? Describe how a little bit of knowledge can make people epistemically delusional.

5. When you’re high up on a mountain or at the top of a tall building, the people down below look small. How do you know that people aren’t actually tiny at this moment? What are the environmental cues that you use to judge size to be a matter of appearance and not reality?

6. Read the following article. Then use the discussion in 7.5 to explain how a pollster can use misleading language to get their desired results.

7. Do you believe that some disagreements are incommensurable — that is, there is no possible way to resolve them? Explain and give an example.

Exactly why did the planned Enola Gay exhibit stir up so much controversy, and who, generally speaking, was leading the effort to quash it?

/in /by

address the following questions: Exactly why did the planned Enola Gay exhibit stir up so much controversy, and who, generally speaking, was leading the effort to quash it? According to the book’s various authors, how did the nation’s recent history (including the Vietnam War) and the ongoing “culture wars” figure into the controversy? Finally, do you feel exhibit planners should have stood their ground? Do any of the authors agree with you?
please use the book I uploaded to answer those question and quotes.
