In his article “ The Limits Of Authenticity, Ben Yacobi talked about the limits of authenticity and its challenges. He talked about it by giving examples and long old history of philosophers to prove his point. Unfortunately, his over long illustrations fall apart. His essay is not appealing because it does not connect with the audience with its over long and complicated examples.
Length of his essay is too long to be focused on the point he is trying to prove with redundant examples. He said how the concept of authenticity has been explored throughout history by many philosophers hundreds of years ago(1). It unnecessary because he states in the beginning how people constantly involve and he provides big and long examples of it. What writers and philosophers said hundreds of year ago might not or not at all apply

Many of his examples feel outdated and people might not feel connected to it and take it personally. His philosophies of authentic examples feels really old because they are from people who lived long ago(1). The author should have given recent examples for the readers to understand and feel it more. People are close with authenticity. They want to feel passionate about it. If the author provides examples of what someone said long ago, the readers captivated with his examples because things and people were different back then. His ending idas are not clear for the readers to his final statement and their final take on the article with construing examples and surprising thesis statement all the at the end of the article. He talks about how technologies overflow an individual 's perception of reality and then he puts his main idea the end saying no one can achieve personal authenticity (5). It seemed unclear and sloppy because the reader might not get nothing from the article. It would have made more sense if u had the thesis at the beginning but not end to prove his
The authors writing style improved his thesis mainly because it gave the reader more details to support his thesis for Judge Sewall's
It also appealed to ethos and pathos because it was also an opinion, which made the author lose credibility and appeal to
The author’s tone puts us in the middle of the journey. It was as if she made us feel the emotions and pain the family felt through every step of the process. She builds suspense as we read about the different theories Plebuch and her sister had during their journey to find the truth. Copeland’s tone is also very informative and factual. She uses statistics, quotes, and other examples to reinforce the purpose of her article and to support the
Throughout his piece, Newcombe uses strong sources that strengthen his credibility to build his claim. This is an appeal to ethos. The writer establishes his trustworthy by using the sources such as a quote written by C. S. Lewis. C.S Lewis is a British novelist and academic. He has academic positions at both Oxford University and Cambridge University.
While the claim itself is important, by mentioning towards the end of a paragraph he not only creates a nice
In his essay Kwame uses this quote by Charles Taylor to explain what he thinks authenticity is, “There is a certain way of being that is [someone’s] way. [They are] called upon to live [their] life in this way.... If [they] are not [true to [themselves]], [they] miss the point of [their]
In a world where your credibility means everything, it’s even more important in writing. The author shows great credibility, motives, and character. Tough credibility throughout the article is very strong, this is said because he talks about a topic he has already wrote about and brought in other people who have great credibility to speak on his topic. His motive was strong but wasn’t bias. To avoid biasness, he didn’t speak on opinions, he mostly spoke on facts and research that he found.
Murdering a Pharaoh Every calendar in Egypt began and ended with one person. That person encapsulated the ideals of the Egyptians society and reigned as god. He was vital for the citizen’s protection and existence. This person was Pharaoh, and time stopped when his heart stopped, and in The Murder of Tutankhamen, Bob Brier explains the events leading up to what he claims to be the tragic murder of one of Egypt’s most loved Pharaohs.
Encouraging and inspiring the imagination, Theodor Seuss Geisel is a universally renown author of children’s literature. Dr. Seuss entertains his audience while instilling his own values and life lessons in his writings. His ambiguous stories affect readers in different ways depending on the level of interpretation. Although his works teach children how to read and count, and include lessons of morality, Dr. Seuss also inserts inconspicuous political codes for mature audiences to decipher. Because the messages are subtle, the public can make their own assumptions which lead to controversy.
They cover a wide range of subject and topic, which help the subsidiary claim to encounter the opponent’s ideas effectively; one piece of evidence is also not based on the trustable sources. Malik takes the example of “French speakers view the world differently from English speakers” (Malik, 8) and demonstrates it within two sentences. There is no proof used in this argument. Indeed, it makes the whole essay become more unreliable, and turns the author into a bias writer. On the other hand, the author does a really “good job” on picking the solid opponent’s perspectives.
While his opinion is abundantly clear, he intelligently and craftily builds exceedingly relatable analogies for the reader. He tees the unsuspecting reader off with a light
We agree with the author because us as members of Igen we can relate or agree to some of the points Twenge stated. The authors points were the most effective when she used pathos because although it may seem shocking she isn’t wrong, and with the logos backing up her arguments it is hard to argue with her. It’s sad that most of our lives have been consumed by the use of phones and the internet but that’s how life is now and Even if phones and social media bring bad things to the table it is also making life better for teens and keeping them
He starts his argument by telling us the effect the internet has had on him and others he has come across. The internet has changed his train of thought and his ability to focus and concentrate. He believes our brains have been reprogramed over time to adjust to the speed and convenience of the internet. Our ability to retain and digest traditional media has also been compromised since we are used to receiving information so rapidly. This is a strong opening argument for his essay.
Your blog posts, social media posts, newsletters or any kind of interaction with others, need to be authentic. The world needs to see and hear you. The real you. Not someone who’s intent on following the voice, style and formula of a “guru”.
