Rhetorical Outline : Mao ZeDong, THE CHINESE PEOPLE HAVE STOOD UP

Purpose: To convince all members of the  Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (range of political parties and organizations China, all for wide representation) to rally to support new government

Audience: Conference Delegates, awaiting the establishment of the first session of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. ( Mao Created)

Context: Mao is the first speaker of the FIRST absolute session of the CPPC; September 21, 1949, Beijing , China  

• Conference was set up because a political consultative conference was needed  to set up a democratic coalition government.  

At the conference that day -

• The founding of the People's Republic of China as the will of Chinese

• Central People's Government and CPPCC members were elected. Mao Zedong was made the first chairman of the CPPCC National Committee.
• Warrant: Parties that defeat others are to rise to power

Section 1: Introduction - How CPPCC came to be

Purpose: Remind audience of history , and define what CPPCC is and their work.

Appeals: Establishes ethos because he is the first official to introduce CCPPC                      . Pathos (feel of unity).

Logic=not official enough but very general ( At present the field armies of the People's Liberation Army, several million strong, have pushed the war to areas near Taiwan, Kwangtung, Kwangsi, Kweichow, Szechuan and Sinkiang, and the great majority of the Chinese people have won liberation. In a little more than three years the people of the whole country have closed their ranks, rallied to support the People's Liberation Army, fought the enemy and won basic victory. )

Pathos- mortify audience with past with Kuomintang : does this through word choice ( sabotaged by, oppressed , slaughtered’.

They at the end of reminiscing he adds a shining light on the Communist government that “overthrew them” “restored”  “ we basically defeated”

Technique:  

• Slight logos of successes in the war against the Kuomintang , ( was a easy success)
• Hyperbole - the Kuomintang as "running dogs of imperialism ( used to scare audience but then at the end say the CP has defeated this enemy)

Effectiveness: effective for the members who are supporting the CCPPC but not for enemies such as US which wouldn't be interested in chinas “ new awaking communist party”.

Pathos - to make the organization look good

Technique - Rhetorical Question

If our forefathers, and we also, could weather long years of extreme difficulty and defeat powerful domestic and foreign reactionaries, why can't we now, after victory, build a prosperous and flourishing country?"

Effectiveness

is used to emphasis that there is no reason the chinese can't do that same. this statement hits close to home , filial piety and chinese ancestor worship = must stay loyal no matter what situation

Section 2: Forecast of China because CPPCC is made

Purpose: persuade audience that the CPPC is bringing a bright and  new era to china

Claim:  China has stood up and will become better

“We have very favourable conditions: a population of 475 million people and a territory of 9,600,000 square kilometres. There are indeed difficulties ahead, and a great many too. But we firmly believe that by heroic struggle the people of the country will surmount them all. The Chinese people have rich experience in overcoming difficulties”

- Only pathos - unstable faith to support this, “firmly believe”. What can they provide monetarily , in work in moral support? Too general

Techniques:

Oxymoron-democratic dictatorship ; emphasis that the CP will represent  all but unitarily. it will not be one person’s input or opinions

Anaphora -- "Hail the victory... hail the founding... hail the triumph!"

• build intensity , build pride in delegates that they've won the war , overcome kuo timing and will have a successful conference.
• Tone - charismatic, optimistic

\

General Evaluation:

The Bad

• Mao does not use hard core evidence to support in the Communist Parties’ defeat
• Reader has suspicion of some facts but pathos overrides that

i.e  The Chinese have always been a great, courageous, and industrious nation; it is only in the modern times that they have fallen behind.  And that was due entirely to oppression and exploitation by foreign imperialism and domestic reactionary governments."

i.e    "As long as we keep to our style of plain living and hard struggle, as long as we stand united and as long as we persist in the people's democratic dictatorship and unite with our foreign friends, we shall be able to win speedy victory on the economic front."

- gave no logical reason why to struggle to have speedy victory?

The GOOD-

• Uses mostly pathos to make crowd “ feel good” and agree with him ( does this through word choice)
• Makes the Communist party seems as the hero
• Snobby tone “ we basically defeated , we are all convinced that our work will go down in mankind” ( may be due to word translation by Maoist Documentation Project)

- Makes him seem “ all knowing “ , add ethos

Credibility

No effective speaker can just stand on a platform and simply just start talking about their topic. There is always an introduction that pulls readers into what is being said . Churchill and Goebbels both established credibility in their speech introduction for similar reason but into two distinct ways.

Churchill and Goebbels both start their speeches trying to inspire belief or trust i

n the audience. Church was the new prime minister coming in behind a very heartily supported prime minister. He also came in right in the heat and beginning for World War II when Nazis were tearing across Europe. Can someone say pressure? Goebbels had to be able to gain public approval and encourage Great Britain in this war.  Building credibility was his only option to win over the crowd. Goebbels made his speech as the war was becoming evidently serious.  Goebbels wanted this speech to build popular enthusiasm as well and convince Hitler to give him greater powers in running in the war economy. He needed to first build a slight patriotic connection before he could arouse the crowd to  with his eccentric words.

Churchill pinpoints his finished work from his task of forming a new administration.

He tell this almost like a story. He formed the war cabinet all in one single day , sending position roles to the Majesty and will take it upon himself that everyone and anyone will complete all their projects.  A president that is quick , effective and urgent. A good president he must be? That is exactly what Churchill wanted to build up in his audience. He proved the his audience that he isn't just some new guy but tells of his actions that make him well qualified and seems diligent. Goebbels in his introduction refers to the two events which he stood by his people and  with their unity was able to “ overcome the difficulties we faced in the fourth wars”. He relates with the crowd by pathos. He was “ proud to be bound to all of you radio with the last heroic fighters in Stalingrad during our powerful meeting here in the Sport Palace”. He included the audience using the word “ we” and thanking them for their all mighty support to him and Germany. He uses the intro also as a way to reach to the audiences heart. “ Singing the national anthem”, “Obligation for all of us “, the strength to survive such a disaster” ; all these clauses bring unity to the crowd as one nation. Inserting patriotism in the beginning of this speech helps Goebbels have more effect to convince the audience to fully devote to the war.

Machiavelli and Thoreau - Being the Citizens

Machiavelli and Thoreau have similar attitudes towards the general citizen and man. Both see all men as dumb and naïve while Thoreau sees the same, but just towards the “general” man.

Both Machiavelli and Thoreau see men as people that follow majority. Thoreau goes to say  “Men generally,... think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them.” Men feel as though only a great amount of people can go against “ the machine” but deliberately don't see that this has a poor outcome and chance to change for good. Also, they fail to see that to get change they must take effective action; be a “ counteraction to the machine. General men rely on a number to make government better. This strategy only leads to the government keeping and continuing to have more power . As this is Machiavelli's whole purpose for the prince , he too see citizens as dumb; who  “are always impressed by the superficial appearance of things, and by the outcome of an enterprise.” One person alone isn’t sensible enough to distinguish the appearance of being humane, sincere and truthful apart from cruel treatment, lies and harshness. But, as long as he seems humane, sincere and truthful that is exactly what he must be, right? The people are therefore handing the Prince the upper hand in power. Both Machiavelli and Thoreau believe that citizens add to the their authorities power when they follow majority.

Machiavelli and Thoreau continue to have similar thought when it comes to men and citizens Machiavelli and Thoreau both acknowledge that men are dependent on authority, but Thoreau pins point that only to the general man, while a wise man is different. A Prince wouldn’t mind being called a miser, for even though he is “loading his people with exorbitant taxes and squeezing money out of them in every way he can”, he is still a good leader. So I would imply that he too thinks men will easily obey to the prince, in the end ,  thinking he must be burdening them to get a great return in the end . The citizens once again fail to the see that the high taxes, and work they do isn't for the country’s good but rather to beneficially gain power for the prince. Thoreau would say the same for the general man because he too is bending to the governments will. But on the other hand, to Thoreau “A wise man will only be useful as a man, and will not submit to be “clay” and “stop a hole to keep the wind away”, but leave that office to his dust at least” The wise citizen will not be used for the benefit of the Government.  He will not conform to the injustices of the government, but rather leave the government to itself. The general man in Machiavelli and Thoreau's eyes don't have the confidence to be self dependent individuals while the wise man stands apart, a far from authority’s rule.

A Proposal Pamphlet

A proposal pamphlet

I will be handing this pamphlet out in Trumbull Mall in front of stores such a Abercrombie and Fitch as people pass by or hide inside layers of clothes. A pamphlet is the easiest form of writing to get information across and its not long like an essay but eye catching and straight to the point. It’s not realistic that people will sit down for 20 minutes to thoroughly analyze an essay on Size discrimination.

I figured sending a essay to clothes companies, manufacturers or to stores personally wouldn't make much of a difference and I would get no reply, so why not start with victims?  When these victims ( Plus Size Women)  are aware and ready to fight against this discrimination , more action can be done. If many follow along with my proposal to love their body types and support fashionable companies that gladly invite plus size customers apart of their market, maybe discriminating companies will get the idea.

My style will consist of a variety of pathos ( personal experiences with shopping ) followed by logics ( statistics and quotes) and a discerning  tone to bring  plus size to realize that  they aren’t to blame when its come to difficulty of clothes shopping but rather it is companies marketing that is to blame.

I strongly hope that the pathos will help readers realize “ Hey , I go through that all the time but, I did know it was a real problem?” After that, all the data and example will be included to solidify that size discrimination in the fashion industry is surely alive. It will strike up some anger in the reader because they not see that certain clothes companies think if them as “ Uncool and Unattractive”.

 My mission thru this pamphlet is to let readers know that every time they have difficulties shopping isn’t because of their bodies differences but because companies purposely don't want to sell for our sizes. They don't want us as customers , or be apart of their company image, and if they do sell a size extra large , you have to pay them extra for this extra “burden”.

Medium - A pamphlet

Type of Argument - To inform/ explore

A Future/ Deliberative Argument

Evaluation Argument

- To inform customers of discriminating companies that they are not at fault but the companies marketing is.

To gain credibility I would start on the front page a with a title as ATTENTION FAT GIRLS the Next would be my testimony of finding fashionable, reasonable , plus size clothes. The testimony would display the hardships of fashion as a plus size female

-“clothes that hide my assets, come in ugly muted colors and make me look like someone’s grandma”

The next page would be full of statistics and pictures of depressed “fat girls”. This page mostly will be striking at the reader’s insecurities and at the same time strike some remorse in them

-statistics of difficulties of already being “fat”

- Discriminations that already set against Plus Size Females

- The public’s view on the appearance of Plus size people

Next Page:

BUT to add unto that companies such as Abercrombie companies are saying (insert their quotes here)

-       Rather than not selling plus sizes to broaden their profit, the stingily choose to upkeep their image as “COOL”.

New Paragraph - don’t you think something is wrong here? This is size discrimination;

(Angry) this is unjust and is a certain treatment to a group of people

- Higher prices -(plus size women are being raped financially to look good because companies use cheap fabric for plus sizes)

- Not sell our sizes at all to uphold an image

-selling clothes online to keep our unattractive bodies out of the store

Final Page – Conclusion

So what do we do ?                                                          

- We start to love our bodies for who we are

-if not our fault we were born with a different body type

If they don’t want to market to us, forget them!

- don’t try to fit in a size -1 because they have better clothes , instead stop squeezing in them and buy them and support our plus size stores

Take care of ourselves first before u dish out extra on a companies that doesn’t want u as a customer

Let’s Analyze…. The Toulmin Way: Do You Notice It (Blog)

Let’s Analyze…. The Toulmin Way

Do You Notice It (Blog)

·         Claim

My major claims are that there is a splendor of fashionable small clothing that decreases as sizes go up, these is a significant price difference in the same fabric and design of clothes but in different sizes and companies are refusing to sell to plus size customers to upkeep a company image of “cool people”. All these claims where put forth to the reader (mostly plus size women) to assure them that these findings aren't just a coincidence but this is an actually problem, this is size discrimination. It is unfair to not allow someone to vote in the US based on race, economical statues or appearance but companies are allowed to purposely exclude a category of people on unjust reasons?

·         Qualifier- A reader would imply that only some companies are purposely excluding plus sizes and is a serious form of size discrimination.

·         Data: My data is my personal experience when shopping through racks in a store to find that at size large there was only one dull shirt. I had no really sturdy data or evidence for the price difference for plus size clothes compared to regular. My data for my 3^rd supporting claim was the CEO of Abercrombie quotes of purposely excluding the plus market in his companies because ” A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely.”

·         Warrants – These events conclude that companies are purposely discriminating against plus size customers.

·         Backing

-Companies normally out for making a profit in everything they do, would broaden their customer diversity to bring in more profits.

-Companies don’t charge their clothes size off of the amount of cloth used.

·         Authority – I am a plus size girl myself and I included my frustration with a personal experience while shopping to earn credibility with readers.

·         Rebuttal – There are two rebuttals to my argument. One could say America is a free market that allows for consumers to not shop at stores that are so called “discriminating” and that my one experience at the store isn't enough to justify that it’s an actually discrimination problem; there has to be more than one person to confirm that.

·         My Response to those rebuttals would be that yes, Plus size women do have the choice to not shop at that company and go to another but when we leave this company to continue thinking that this discrimination is “OK” and just  it can lead to greater cases of discrimination. Starting at selling selective sizes unto hiring selective employees that would go against the Employee Discrimination Act. I’m trying to save these companies from letting this become a bigger situation before federal lawsuits jump in. My response to the second rebuttal would be that my whole purpose is to rally plus size women to see that the struggle they go through every time they go clothes shopping is purposely because of clothing companies. It’s not their fault that can’t have cute size 0 pants but rather that it the companies fault for not including our size and designs in their collection. They are the reason; we are put down in society. Readers hopefully would speak out towards this issues and it would become more qualified as discrimination.

Rhetorical Analysis - Kincaid

Gena Gordon

Ms. Parham

A.P Language and Composition

7 October 2013

“ Put yourself in my shoes” ;  a overused cliché that many may discount, but the way Jamaica Kincaid sets her writing in  The Small Place, she takes this concept to different level  placing readers only to imagine themselves as Native Antiguans. Through the  telling of the Market Street Library as a symbol, Kincaid fills her writing of hyperboles and uses an invective tone to not only bring awareness towards Antigua’s corrupt postcolonial society but to force the reader into deeper thinking beyond the obvious.

    Kincaid's use of hyperboles is one of her most effective method in informing the reader of Antigua’s corrupt postcolonial society .  Her deliberative exaggerations and continuation to stress the library’s inactiveness ,over the length of 2 pages, to be rebuilt. From the beginning of the excerpt, Kincaid details explicit imagery of the library before the hurricane ; “ if you saw the old library, situated as it was in a big old wooden building painted a shade of yellow that is beautiful to people like me with its wide veranda, its big always open windows, its row and rows of shelves…” ( Kincaid 42) etc. She purposely emphasis the beauty of what used to be to set an vivid picture in the readers mind . Kincaid's  turns around to again to emphasis the condition of the library currently; “ above a dry goods store, in the old run down building, etc. ( Kincaid 43). Her persistence in stressing the little detail that made the library what it was , highlights its importance to lives of Antiguans that non-natives wouldn’t understand, but she then she strikes her reader with the horrid image of a ruined library. Emphasizing the condition before and after the earthquake is used in order to highlight to readers , the symbol of the failing government. As the library was filled with books that enlightened and educated the community, readers generate an opinion of what the government's real intention and purpose  in Antigua, which is no where focused for the people.

    Kincaid’s invective tone was an highly effective method to cause her readers to step outside their one-minded country’s view and see life as an Antiguan in the actual situation.  Kincaid repeats a  strategy of strictly asking the reader why is the library the way it is? This takes back to the reader to think in there mind ‘I really don’t know why”. This lets the reader acknowledge their lack of knowledge toward this, which juvinates us to want to figure out why. As you, the reader keep reading learning some more about the reason for the libraries condition , Kincaid pops up directly talking to the reader saying ; “Oh, you might be saying to yourself …”. This surprising question once again takes back the reader to think “ How can u be asking me this , when I don't even know enough to assemble a fair opinion to this situation?”  While the reader is puzzled once again Kincaid forcefully lays down her thoughts and opinion  in the situation. This strategy purposefully does not allow for the reader to confirm an opinion of their own but rather be distracted from thought long enough to only taking in Kincaid's argument. Kincaid has the ability to fill that time for thinking with her opinion restricting the reader to fully ponder on Kincaid's claim toward the bad mind government. Her tirade tone may came across as verbally attack, but effectively interrupts the careless reading of the reader demanding them to think deeper in an irrelevant topic to them : the corrupt Antiguan government who pay no attention to important institutes that benefit communities making it available for Antiguans to be relevant and not just an island ,full of former slaves, where poor sap stamps are issued too.

To simply bring awareness to Antiguans corrupt government, Jamaica Kincaid in her book of , The Small Place , she forces the reader to imagine themselves as Antiguans going through the same situation using hyperboles and an invective tone. Ranting and compelling to readers who kindly picked up your book to read isn't an prevalent technique to use in writing. But, Kincaid took a risk that I believe paid off half and half.  Some people will be affected by it, not only thinking deeper to acknowledge Antigua's demoralized government but wanting to take action, and some not. Traditional writings lay the facts and readers more likely only looking at the actually fact and move onto the next, not taking the time to analyze the numbers, emotions or background of that fact. Kincaid tackles that problem by laying down the facts of Antiguan  government by making readers uncomfortable and restricting them to analyze the library's inactive repairs effects on Antiguans educationally , breaking the hearts of many and finally how the government has no interest at all to repair it. Who cares if a reader becomes uncomfortable, and puts down the book after a while, at least as an author you did your job getting what you have to get across.

Lets brainstorm...

Audiences-

 Clothing line Companies

Plus size women

Non plus size women ( but i dont want sympathy)

Manufactoring clothes companies

Retail stores

Clothing line CEO's ( specific people)

AB and Finch 

Franchise owners ( mall owners, store owners )

Best Three - Franchise Owners , Clothing Line Companies , Plus Size women 

Franchise owners - People that choose to open these fashion store, would see the ugly side of the brand. Yes , money will flow in but not as much as if these brands offered plus sizes. Their profits are only limited to one group of people and it could be so much broader if they simply chosen a different company. This will result in upcoming franchise owners to stray away from the discriminating brands and influence them to lean more towards companies that include plus sizes and are still fashionable and profitable. Current Franchise owner may not switch over immediatly to starting up a new business but at least the question that will ring in the back of their minds are " really, why dont these companies include certain sizes? and hopefully want to question the brand and owners. Certain franchise owners might not care and say , well its a free market and diverse.

Clothing Line companies-

With Clothing line companies being the main audience, they would be reading to recognize thier faults. Being forced to answer questions about their companies and rethink thier postiion on not selling plus size close. if the main objective of a business is to gain profit why wouldn't they sell plus sizes to get more and more diverse shopper to buy their merchandise? They may look at this as an insult or an eye opener.

Plus Size women - 

 I know many plus size women think in the back of their heads " Hey, why aren't the cute clothes in sizes 9 and up"? I was one of them and after finally taking a step to look it up and see other's blogs and writings about this I saw it was an actual issue. Plus size women need to see this issues and stand up against it. Writing to them as an audience , allows me to give them the knowledge to argue with me and against this. No longer will plus size women be ignorant but fully educated on this topic and take an active stand. They now will be given a voice full of logics , to make this issue even more. An Plus size audience can relate more to this topic and notice they are the main target in it . It will spark anger in them and to fight this discrimination. 

Plus Size Women it is.
