Nabe’s (I)Nquiry on Mark Brittman’s Article

The author, Mark Bittman, created this article to be geared toward the American people. Within his paper he talks about how Americans are now realizing the value in healthy food. Mark Brittman tries to appeal to them through having an organized argument filled with a more playful tone and intriguing language. Pathos seems to be the primary rhetorical device that sticks out in this piece. The authors language seems to make his argument a little less formal which therefore captivates the reader to understand the point that he develops. The language within this article helps display the ethos of the author. Within all of Mark Brittman’s parenthetical statements, he displays his comedic and satirical nature. The element of Logos is displayed through Mark Brittman’s talk of food history. He uses concrete examples to add to the explanation for his argument. For example, when Mark Brittman explains the rare cuisines of immigrants he lists out the different countries and the people associated with them. Overall, I feel that this was an exceptional argument mostly due language Mark Brittman used to enhance his pathos. The structure of his argument is easy to follow and the main points are very clear within each paragraph.

Nabe’s (A)Nalyis Short Argumentative Essay

My Short Argumentative essay on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith was purposed to be read by my classmates, professor and those that watch movies. I appeal to my readers through setting up an intriguing introduction and establishing a clear thesis followed by logical arguments. Within my argument I noticed that within my piece that I used more logos and pathos. My ethos was lacking in this paper due to the limited use of sources to establish my credentials to analyze this particular movie. Next time I plan on using more quotes from my sources.

Nabe’s (A)Nalysis of Melanie Mock’s article of Church and State

This piece seems to be geared towards those people of Christian beliefs that are for the combination of church and state. Melanie Mock tries to appeal to this particular audience by means of using a strong descriptive opening made up of positive adjectives to describe Christmas time. Pathos is represented more throughout than other rhetorical elements. Majority of the points claimed have some type of emotional tie to the author, For example, Mock claims “The reasons for my own beliefs are complicated, wrapped as they are in my church denominations history of persecution by church-states”. She seems to display her views through this article because of her background of beliefs rather than providing facts toward persuasion. It was particularly interesting and disappointing of how many times she used “I” to support her claim. After reading this article, I felt somewhat unsatisfied and unchanged by her arguments. Personally, I do not feel that this argument is very effective; Mock should have provided a more logos within her argument to have her audience to act on the separation Christmas and state.

Rhetorical Analysis of RE: Your Brains

This particular set lyrics about a zombie named Bob who tries to persuade Tom,a co-worker, to let him eat his brains. The purpose of the argument is to change Tom’s mind into conforming with the zombies. Bob, the zombie, is the main person who tries creating the argument. Bob tries to appeal to the audience through rhetorical questioning to make Tom’s thoughts seem sensless as well as turn the argument as a benefit for him to be persuaded. For example, Bob says “I’d like to help you, Tom, in any way I can”(Coulton). This creates a pathos emotion of trust which works in the arguments favor. Bob, makes some logical points within his argument when speaks about how Tom will eventually run out food and guns and there for he will eventually have to conform to being consumed. The Ethos of the zombie argument really lies in the friendship of Bob and Tom from the text it seems like both of the main characters seem like just coworkers but he does say that  “We’re not unreasonable…” (Coulton). Overall the argument was developed pretty well.
