Final Reflection

Posted by Nusrat Jahan (She/her) on


The “Publication Rhetorical Analysis” assignment was particularly meaningful as it helped me

improve my writing skills by examining the rhetorical situation, author, audience, purpose, and

stance of the piece. It helped me understand the author’s credibility, audience, assumptions,

purpose, rhetorical strategies (logos, pathos, ethos), and stance towards the subject/topic. By

analyzing these aspects, I was able to better understand the author’s credibility, audience, and the

reasons behind their stance. This assignment helped me develop a better understanding of the

writing process and its impact on my writing.

The Discussion Board is a useful tool for understanding assignments and exploring ideas. It

helps assess the structure of an essay, including paragraphs focused on distinct units of thought,

clear transitions, and well-supported ideas. The essay should provide a compelling analysis of

the chosen inspiration text, use well-chosen examples and persuasive reasoning, and have a clear

thesis statement. Content is essential, with an original argument informed by research from the

opinion editorial. Creativity and presentation are crucial, and the essay should be engaging and

captivating for the intended audience. Genre is another important factor, and the visual essay

should follow the conventions of the chosen genre. The author should discuss their language use,

such as school, therapy, and advertising, and any language loss they may have experienced. The

article should be analyzed using the 10 rhetorical terms (author, audience, tone, purpose, stance,

language, genre, medium, constraints, exigence) and explore the rhetorical strategies used by the

authors.

People must survive, social, economic issues are beyond the government’s power. Two

movements, Po Poets, Poverty Skole and POOR Magazine, use tools including education, the

arts, social assistance, sweat equity, long-term cohousing to combat homelessness, poverty. San

Francisco is contesting a court ruling that would have created 1,500 additional Permanent

Supportive Housing apartments to combat homelessness. The “Never Again” campaign aims to

prevent the Zionist dictatorship from taking people’s pleasure away. The initiative aims to

provide access for the impoverished and address issues like homelessness, disabilities, and

criminal records. The campaign aims to ensure that collective grieving occurs when a group is

affected by multiple fatalities. By December, Tiny Gray’s poem “Gaza is filled with Mamas” will

be submitted for publication. Meanwhile, Palestinian American poet, political activist Suheir

Hammad has released a biography called Drops of This Story and a collection of poems titled

Born Palestinian, Born Black. These poems reflect the state of the globe, including the sacrifices

made by Israeli troops and the difficulties experienced by Muslims in Palestine in defending their

homeland. Poets such as Gray and Hammad make an effort to convey the high cost of goods and

how it affects people’s quality of life. Social media platforms like YouTube videos and TikTok

are utilized to engage users and spread awareness of economic concerns. Social media gives us

further insight into the challenges of others, but writing remains the most effective means of

fostering connections and communicating feelings. Social media, like visual context, makes it

easy for individuals to comprehend and connect with others going through similar struggles.

Writing is the finest method to bring people together.

Visual Essay Reflection and Self-Grading

Posted by Nusrat Jahan (She/her) on

The essay discusses the impact of rising prices on daily life and the need for action to address these issues. The author uses social media as a genre to expose the essay and reach a wider audience, particularly the young generation who are facing these challenges. They believe that using videos and pictures on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube will help raise awareness and make the audience understand the power of social media in influencing people’s decisions.The author believes that social media is a powerful tool for convincing people that something significant has occurred and that they are unhappy about the situation. They suggest that those who are avoiding reality should inform others, start conversations, stage protests, or seek government notice about the rising prices in the economy.The essay also uses an author who communicates through writing, including social, cultural, political, educational, rights, experiences, or beliefs, to influence the assumptions they make about the world, their audience, and the environment in which they write. The essay aims to persuade those experiencing similar circumstances to take a stand and bring attention to the exorbitant prices of things. The purpose of the essay is to bring attention to the exorbitant prices and initiate conversations to interact with the world and encourage people to think about solving problems.

I use pathos because, although it’s often translated as “emotional appeal,” the term originally meant speech components that may touch any number of the audience’s emotions. These days, a lot of people would talk about a text’s pathos qualities in order to describe how successfully the writer evokes the feelings of the reader. I am discussing the actual problem that affects people all around the world, as if they are all in the same boat. For instance, I discuss in my writing how the younger generation is not prepared for the circumstances of today because they do not accept responsibility, which has prevented them from understanding the rise in the cost of a single item. Additionally, for Although the word “logos” is sometimes translated as “logic or reasoning,” its original meaning was the speech’s actual content and structure. These days, a lot of individuals use the term “logos qualities” to describe a text’s strength of logic or reasoning. For instance, I use images and videos from social media to illustrate how it impacts both future generations and our everyday lives in my writing. Furthermore, we can see that although the term “ethos” is commonly translated as “credibility or trustworthiness,” its original meaning was “the parts of a speech that reflected on the character of the speaker or the speech’s author.” These days, a lot of individuals may bring up a text’s ethical aspects in conversation to talk about how well writers represent themselves. I make an effort to raise awareness of this topic because it affects not just one person but the entire country or the entire planet. Everyone needs to live, but these days it’s quite difficult for most people to do so, especially those who are unemployed or have just one earner in the household. The reason is that wealthy people can afford anything, but they also need to be aware of the problems that those in their immediate vicinity are suffering. Additionally, as the younger generation will be taking on more responsibility for themselves and their families, they too need to be aware of these difficulties.

In my opinion, writing a visual essay differs from writing a standard essay since the former requires the reader to read the entire article slowly, comprehend its meaning, and attempt to draw connections between a variety of ideas. However, it is simple to comprehend the subject and draw connections between many ideas in a visual essay. Thus, reading the entire essay is not necessary. It involves using images of any kind of motion or action to offer a critical analysis of a subject. The pictures can serve as a justification, debate starter, or explanation. Compared to conventional essays, it may be more interesting and remembered. They may also be easier to understand by audiences outside of academia

The Consequence of high merchandise prices

Posted by Nusrat Jahan (She/her) on

The cost of every item on the market is rising. Not just me or my neighborhood has been impacted by it; the entire world has. When I was unemployed at the time, I faced several issues and had to rely entirely on charity. “The all-items Consumer Price Index (CPI), a measure of economy-wide inflation, rose by 0.4 percent from July 2023 to August 2023 and was up 3.7 percent from August 2022. The CPI for all food increased 0.2 percent from July 2023 to August 2023, and food prices were 4.3 percent higher than in August 2022″ from Economic Research Service, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. Many folks in the neighborhood work low-paying jobs or are the only earners in their large family. It’s challenging to take all costs equally at this time, since product values are always rising. In my opinion, raising the value of a product is excellent for the economy, but it also has a significant negative impact on the economy of our nation. Because it may be difficult for someone to purchase an item when the price is high, but if they truly need the item, they will purchase money. For their upcoming purchase in the event that they won’t have enough money to make it. As a result, people will forgo or cease purchasing other goods. At the end of the day, the economy will grow more slowly if everyone stops purchasing at least one item in each category. It should begin with a few local businesses, but after a few weeks, it may have an impact on the entire global economy. due to the fact that each nation imports and exports. Therefore, when there is no longer a marketing demand and the marketing level declines. After analyzing the situation throughout the world, lenders will demand higher interest rates in order to make up for the future decline in the purchasing value of the money they are paid, which would result in a halt to firm output. Therefore, there isn’t enough output to meet demand. And when people lack the necessities of life, primarily food and sensitization, they will become ill, and a dearth will begin.  

The author responded to “how unexpectedly the price of every specific product getting up and the benefits and effects We are facing in economics.” These days, this is taking place on a global scale, raising our economic level significantly in terms of product sales. No matter what the product is, we need a lot of different things and resources to live our daily lives, and I think the cost of everything is rising. With all the expenses and savings, balancing our real lives is difficult. The main reason for this is because, while product sales and purchases are increasing, income is not, which is an issue because if the government raises the minimum wage, it should benefit everyone who lives in the country. Our pay needs to be increased so we can afford the cost of goods and live contentedly. In my own experience, whenever I go to a store to buy any type of products or meals, I must pay more money starting two months ago, even though my wage is the same as it was a year ago. I must support my family, pay my bills, take care of my necessities, and pay for my children’s education. I can therefore communicate with everyone who is going through the same thing, not just in America but everywhere else in the world. because individuals in my nation of origin deal with a similar set of issues. From ATN News currently, if a person went to the market to get food, they could only be able to purchase three to four products for $10, which is 1000 taka (Bangladesh). Since this nation is not as developed as some others, it is easy to imagine how difficult it must be for middle-class and lower middle-class families to deal with the many issues they face without seeking assistance from others out of respect for their dignity and in accordance with social mores. They must therefore rely on the family member who makes money. At least we are fortunate that this is the case since in this society, a family of three or four cannot go out and work because everyone is responsible for their own income and expenses. Therefore, it pays for everyone’s expenses, but the pricey level has been challenging everywhere.  

The price of natural gas and coal costs are going up and up. From “These 5 charts show how much 2 years of inflation have really cost you” the cost of essentials like groceries, utilities and gas increased by 20% or more. The cost of all items on the index increased by 13% in that time. 

Every single day we need to use cars, bikes, motors and for this reason we need to buy gas but when it is too high a price then it is hard to do. People need to use their car or bike to move from one place to another but when it is getting high price then they cannot buy and use their stuff. I wrote this opinion piece. This is believable since it is based on actual experience. Because an op-ed is a media opinion piece that appears opposite the editorial page. This is a wonderful thing about how the media portrays our real-life predicament. The impact of rising product prices is currently the biggest issue. Many businesses, in my opinion, don’t offer goods discounts as frequently as they did last year, when the epidemic was at its peak, because of the high demand for products and the inadequate supply. Additionally, some people bring up war, a natural calamity, like a flood. To achieve equilibrium, prices this year are higher than they were last year, when brands were lowering prices to sell inventory.  

When the author wrote the material, they envisioned it to be like whatever they had experienced. The economic issue is currently the most talked-about issue in society and the entire planet. It suggests that the value of every product is increasing throughout the world, especially in the United States. Because of this, citizens of this country find it difficult to afford the things they need. People find it extremely difficult to both make and spend money. Due to a few factors, production is declining. The biggest factor, according to some, is the low level of demand for the goods since whenever a nation has a war, natural disaster, or societal problems like poverty or unemployment, etc. Additionally, some people mention the product’s quality because they mistakenly think that if a thing is expensive, it must be of excellent quality. Yes, a select few products—those that are expensive and of high quality—are available. If we look back at prior years, we can see that the price point was rather average, and individuals could purchase. However, as it becomes increasingly difficult and intense, they must consider each move. I believe that both oral and written rhetorical techniques will be used to accomplish this goal. For instance, communicating our thoughts and opinions to others is simple today. And I believe that social media, television news, and newspaper language are the best ways to connect with others. It would be beneficial for everyone to discuss this topic and look for any solutions. As a result, every economic problem, such as rising prices or a lack of demand for output, can be brought to public attention.  

The author’s perspective on the subject of their essay is that various factors can affect how expensive items are in society. Consumers see high prices unfavorably for a number of reasons, particularly if they think they are unjust or unreasonable. High costs can also prevent consumers from accessing basic items. And when there is little to no substitute for a product, corporations may have more influence over pricing, which can result in monopolistic behavior. High prices can also be a sign of a lack of market competition.  

There are a few articles where I can quickly obtain facts and examples related to the essay topic I’m pitching. I’m using all economic articles which help me more express my essay for example, “These 5 charts show how much 2 years of inflation have really cost you”, “Economic Research Service, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE” Given that this is the most effective method, I believe I can simply compare and provide my audience with more visual evidence by using graphs and charts. Understanding that I am more knowledgeable about the background will be beneficial. This makes it simple for my readers to relate to and interact with my writing about Considering this, a customer may be discouraged while looking at a product’s high price. Then the price hike will deter buyers from purchasing it. In a similar vein, if prices are reduced in such market circumstances, then customers’ purchases will rise sharply. Customers try to save money due to the high cost of the goods; otherwise, they will struggle to do so. Living in a society with significant economic costs is really difficult. Because we must travel every day and because we require only the most necessities, individuals will not be able to subsist if prices continue to rise. and that has taken place throughout the nations. People go without food and medicine, becoming ill. All younger children and newborns suffer from malnutrition. My target audience is made up of regular folks who are also the kind of people that are struggling with the issues raised in my essay so the public who are dealing with this difficult scenario is the piece’s intended audience. I think and feel that people can easily draw parallels to their own lives. As we all know, there are five components that make up a rhetorical situation: purpose, audience, topic, writer, and context. Therefore, my goal is to raise awareness among my audience about our current economic condition by constantly highlighting how it affects our daily lives and how we may move past it. and my target audience will be regular individuals from all social backgrounds and those who deal with this difficulty on a daily basis. Therefore, my issue is how rising product prices around the world, particularly in the United States, have resulted in a marked increase in product sales. I am a writer. Additionally, there are growing economic problems on a global scale. Author, audience, medium, and tone are the rhetorical methods I’m applying, depending on the genre and rhetorical scenario. Also, ethos, pathos and logos which indicates a technique for persuading readers of an author’s reliability or moral integrity, to persuade an audience by appealing to their emotions, persuade a crowd using logic or reason is to utilize often known as the appeal to logic. Therefore, I will offer more particular facts in my writing. Additionally, readers will comprehend my idea more clearly. I can present my own opinion and ideas. My words can therefore be utilized to express meaning, elicit a reaction from a reader or listener, and convince during dialogue.
