Angela Moneck on 15 Oct 08I noticed that you put puncuations outside the quotation marks in some parts of your paper, but I'm pretty sure they're supposed to go on the inside of the quotation marks.

where he said "All of us today share a feeling of grief and outrage over the events of September 11 and a desire that those responsible for mass murder be brought to justice. But at times of crisis the most patriotic act of all is the unyielding defense of civil liberties, the right to dissent and equality before the law for all Americans"(foner).

One thing Foner could have improved on, like many of the other writers discussed, is his use of other professionals.

Rhetoric, simply put, is the ability to effectively use language. Rhetoric relies on three basic appeals to capture an audience: logos, ethos, and pathos. Logos, or the logical appeal, bolsters an argument by supplying data, facts, or any method of logic. Ethos, the appeal to ones emotions, connects the reader by using personal experience or "tugging heartstrings". The last appeal, pathos, is the appeal of the publishers and writers credibility. This being said, the four writers, LeGuin, Levin, McCullagh and Foner show how diverse rhetoric is and how a writer can manipulate any of these three appeals to gain and inform an audience.

Your sentences varied with construction, which is also a good thing. You kept your opinion out of the paper and kept the point of view as being non-biased.
