  • “The Power of Persuasion: Analyzing Rhetorical Techniques in Suji Kwock-Kim’s “Generation” and Sherman Alexie’s “My Heroes Have Never Been Cowboys”

    Format: Microsoft Word, three pages, double-spaced, 12-pt. font, standard margins 
    The main difference between this assignment and your previous paper (“Close Reading for Language”) is that this essay will propose a main “point” or “message” to the story or poem you are analyzing and follow that message through the entire piece, tracing out how it builds and develops. This assignment will also focus on the various methods the writer uses to convince and perhaps even manipulate you into agreement, or into thinking harder and deeper on the subject at hand. 
    Instead of merely describing the content of an author’s claims (“what” is being said and whether you as a reader agree or disagree), your essay should instead be an analysis of “how” the tactics and techniques that writers use to push her points across work.  “Rhetoric” comes from a word meaning “to weave” (from the classical Greek) and this third paper should focus on how a writer builds an argument and a point-of-view out of the fabric of language. 
    This again means a microscopic attention to the way that words, punctuation and blank space are set down on a page. Remember how the word “argument” is being used here—in academic terms an argument is not so much a quarrel as a piece of attempted persuasion. As well, the paper should search for techniques like “hyperbole” (or exaggeration) and “antithesis” (or contrast). Where is there irony or sarcasm of tone? How are the active and passive voices contrasted? 
    As in your close-reading paper, you cannot be too “small” in register. Focus on the tiny elements with which an argument is constructed. We too often think in terms of binary or dualism—simple contrasts between “opposites,” but generally the most productive thinking on a subject takes places in that dangerous territory in between.
    Again, this assignment’s main task is to locate the central, main “thrust” or “claim” of one of the poems or stories from our course reader and then to proceed to analyze how this message is developed. This means underlining and emphasizing those key moments in the piece where it uses specific language to convey its point and convince its readership. Your own essay will similarly use its own language to convince us that you have paid close attention to those methods used in an act of linguistic persuasion.
    TOPICS 
    Read Suji Kwock-Kim’s “Generation” in relations to the ongoing political controversies concerning reproductive rights and abortion. How does a strange narrative in which a fetus recounts development inside the womb complicate our sense of “personhood”?
    Sherman Alexie’s “My Heroes Have Never Been Cowboys” is a Native American perspective on the “mythology” of the American West. How does Alexie manage to dismantle much of the so-called “heroism” of America’s “settling”? 
    you can choose one  of these two readings, you can see which one is more easier for you . readings attached below.

  • “The Bystander Effect: Examining its Impact and Relevance in Modern Society”

    Essay #3 The Bystander Effect
    Professor Arms-Gradington
    Background/Topic: The topic of the Bystander Effect has been introduced, researched,
    challenged and confirmed for the last 50 years. While many have applauded Latane and Darley’s
    efforts to understand the problems facing citizens when they are confronted with emergency
    encounters, others have often asked if this is true, then what is next?
    Connection: The purpose of the readings in this Unit was to introduce you to the topic of the
    bystander effect, and give you some background and context to the term. The goal now is to find
    a connection between what we think we know about the bystander effect, and the realities that
    we now face decades later.

    topic of the Bystander Effect. You may choose from the following options:

    emergency experiment.
    By choosing this option, you must be able to explain and define
    Latane and Darley’s conclusions derived from their experiment, the
    diffusion of responsibility, and explain your position on their
    findings.
    ● Option 2: Using the bystander effect as a foundation, write an argument in
    which you discuss the bystander effect and what are the benefits and
    consequences modern technology has contributed to it?
    For this option, you must be able to explain and define the bystander
    effect, and discuss ways in which technology/social media’s
    connection to what it means to be a bystander in today’s society.
