Referring to Michael Mateas’ article, I argue that Gerty is an example of “behavioral interactionist AI” which its different with HAL, Gerty focuses with embodied agents interacting in a physical or virtual world. HAL is an example of “symbolist, classical AI”, which focuses with symbolic manipulation and problem solving. Thus both of these two AL has abilities to accomplish many specific capabilities, such as playing chess, communicate with people, etc. However, HAL its illustrates goal-driven behavior, which leads him to express inner conflicts and tells complicated lies that creates strong contrast with Gerty; Gerty is more emotional about Sam but not trying to achieve his goal. HAL accurately represents the vision of classic AI, but Gerty

In “The Biggest Loser” (October 23, 2015), Paul Krugman asserts that the Benghazi committee is a witch hunt and that ¨Trey Gowdy and company” are chumps. Mr. Krugman illustrates his displeasure with the committee and the head of it, Trey Gowdy, through belittling diction and Rhetorical question. He uses this choice in diction and rhetorical question in order to deter anyone from taking the accusations of the committee seriously by calling not only the committee “chumps” and but anyone who listens to the committee an ¨ even bigger chump” then the committee is. Krugman appeals to his more liberal audience by talking about the committee, and its tea party support, with a tone of contempt by using insulting diction like “loser” and “chump”.

We will all win arguments if we leave out the evidence. The Socratic dialogue, written by Shannon Quick shows an example of a two character dramatic dialogue.

Bianca Brooks builds her argument through facts, personal experience, and evidence; giving a nod to the counterargument; and tying her points together with sophisticated language and questions for the reader to ask him/herself. Brooks opens her argument with a brief narrative, describing her excitement to read from certain authors that year. Her carefully placed self-description using pathos pulls the attention of book lovers closer as she relates her interests to theirs. With the hook thrown for the people she needs support from, Brooks continues to form her point with references to well known books such as Genesis and Pride and Prejudice.

Out of all my papers, my best grade was on the rhetorical analysis paper. It was nearly perfect. From Professor Short’s feedback on m previous paper, I fixed my work cited page and in text cites. During peer review, my peer told me to go into a bit more detail. I did not take her advice and left my paragraphs as detailed as they were.

Reading and writing reflection Reading and writing has had one of the greatest roles in my life,and has made me the person I am today. If I was not able to read or write,my life would be very difficult,school would be very Challenging ,and I would not be able to figure out anything out by myself and for myself. Although I love to read and write,writing not as much,I find some parts very difficult to fully understand. Fully analyzing the text is something i always have trouble with. When I am asked to analyze texts and find rhetorical appeals,I sometimes struggle because I don’t fully understand the story and I do not fully understand some appeals,such as ethos.

A major theme in A&P is personal freedom. Throughout the story Updike uses metaphor for all elements in the story to implies the theme. At the beginning of the story, Sammy uses sarcastic tone to describe the customers as “sheep” and “houseslaves” which implies he is different from them in mindset. The way how Sammy talks about others shows his intellectual mind. He is not same as Stokesie who wants to be a manager one day.

Past leaders such as Andrew Jackson, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Marc Antony are evidence that society does not reward morality and good character in leadership. Society is drawn to leaders that have good rhetoric, propaganda, and charismatic personalities, and society supports them despite their immorality. Society is concerned about stability more than the morality of their leaders and will support immoral leaders in times of crisis to provide stability. In history there have been multiple leaders that have used rhetoric, propaganda and charismatic personalities to gain power, despite their morals.

I am also interested with the psychological issue so I decided to read and learn through this article. 4. Explain briefly in four or five sentences what the article is about.

Early in the morning, before the rising of the sun, an ageing man wakes on the coast and readies himself for a morning of fishing. He goes through the routine he has accustomed himself to over the past decades. After several minutes, he sets off down the coast, watching the first hints of the sunrise lighten the sky on his left. He trudges along toward a dock, his usually spot. Upon reaching it, however, he notices something unfamiliar for the first time that day: the presence of black, sludge like material, roiling in the wake of recently arrived wave.

The second rhetorical operation discussed in this study is reversal. It “combines elements that are mirror images of one another in an expression” (McQuarrie and Mick, 1996: 432). What means by mirror image here is that it repeats the original sentence but in reverse structure. The rhetorical operation of reversal can be either semantic (antithesis) or syntactic (antimetabole).

For instance, Ojeda could have indicate Max’s background, such as Rothman being fictional character, who lost his right arm from the war, and that he is a Jewish former artist. The topic sentences on each of the body paragraphs are vigorous. Ojeda explained the thesis well using an extreme explanation through the topic sentences. A counter argument makes the whole essay stronger and robust. In this case, Ojeda’s counter argument should have been more expanded and increased with such powerful words.
