Whaley, Colin
A Writer Before and After
Writer's History
Using metaphors in his essay, “A Writer Before and After,” Colin Whaley composes a history of his experiences as a writer. His transformations become stuffy sweaters, math problems, and a mess of ropes. He finds himself “stuffed” into a “claustrophobic” way of writing throughout high school, and yet also recalls freer moments in his earlier writing. Ultimately, his focus lies in his inability to decipher or define good writing: Is it merely concision, a methodical
equation with only one right answer, or is it creativity and beauty, never a wrong path to a final product?
Even in this short piece, Whaley uses imagery in the form of metaphor. How does his method allow the reader to “see” the abstract images he communicates?
In what ways could he have expanded or clarified his metaphors?

Krueger, Sean
A Writer's Reflections
Writer's History
Editor’s Note
In “A Writer’s Reflections,” Sean Krueger mentions his desire to emulate his favorite writers—Walt Whitman and Mark Twain. He laments how some teachers
squelched these creative tendencies, even as he recognized the harsh— but somehow necessary—lessons on organization. Krueger explains that he was ultimately able to break out of these boundaries, though his writing does maintain an organic structure that works well in this piece. He discusses how he was inspired by his class readings in English 134. How does reading affect your writing? Watch, too, how Krueger stretches his diction and punctuation
throughout the essay, with simple, yet effective words like “lackluster,”
“renegade,” “doldrums,” and sophisticated punctuation like dashes and semi-colons, as well as precisely placed italics.

Heidbrink, Ashley
Red Marks Don't Always Bleed
Writer's History
Editor’s Note
In “Red Marks Don’t Always Bleed,” Ashley Heidbrink recalls the woman who taught her how to craft an essay through numerous revisions. Her casual tone and light humor belie the complexity of the writing. Look at the dashes and semi-colons in the first sentence: “I looked down at the paper in front of me—it was covered in red ink—words were crossed out; grammar was corrected;
no white remained on the paper.” What does punctuation like this tell you about the author? Heidbrink also uses a variety of sentence styles and lengths in her writing. For example, she asks, “Was my paper really that horrible?” and later, “. . . what would I write about?” What effects do the questions create in this essay?
Heidbrink describes the process of revising in great detail. She most likely revised the essay that follows more than once before she turned it in. How does she feel about the revision process? How do you feel about revising?

Goldin, Emily
The Most Powerful Weapon
Writer's History
Editor’s Note
In “The Most Powerful Weapon,” Emily Goldin examines the difficulty assessing
the progress she made as a writer. However, she finds that when the effectiveness
of her essay’s message is given attention, nothing is more rewarding than hearing how her own voice is powerful and passionate. While reading, notice how Goldin uses a unique approach by quoting from a work written in high school. Does the quotation from her past work provide a more thorough
experience for the reader? Goldin’s concluding paragraph addresses what writing “will always produce”; note how her final message moves the essay’s purpose forward while simultaneously describing an experience attainable
for all readers.

DaSilva, Christopher
David Deering, Custodian
2010-08-27T07:00:00Z
Profile
Christopher DaSilva’s essay, “David Deering, Custodian,” examines the often under-appreciated custodial profession in order to highlight an integral part of Cal Poly. Although a profile essay, DaSilva’s sustained and supported focus on the importance of Deering is similar to principles of argumentation. Describing Deering as “trustworthy,” “intelligent,” and “understanding,” DaSilva builds a strong case for Deering’s role as “the backbone of the school.” Along with the use of precise language to express his thesis, DaSilva also manipulates the traditional form of an essay to give his profile a unique and effective style. Initially organizing his ideas around time, DaSilva illustrates Deering’s rigorous, yet predictable schedule; as a result, the reader is able to follow Deering through his daily routine. While reading DaSilva’s essay, consider
the effect of the form as well as other ways to depict Deering’s schedule.
In the end, does DaSilva convince you of Deering’s contributions?

Success of a Gardener

Profile
Vanessa Saldana, in her essay “Success of a Gardener,” contributes her perspective
on illegal immigration through an intimate portrait of an illegal immigrant:
her father. Although she knows her father well, she seems to take this opportunity to explore an aspect of him she perhaps hasn’t considered in all its complexity. As you can see, Saldana remains fairly objective through the essay, but her in-depth analysis reveals that she learned something about her father—and herself—that she hadn’t realized before taking on the assignment. What is your opinion about immigration? How does Saldana’s essay contribute to the current immigration debate?

Ray, Madilyn
Dr. Chocolate
2010-08-27T07:00:00Z
Profile
Madilyn Ray’s essay, “Dr. Chocolate,” profiles Tom Neuhaus, a Cal Poly food science professor who also regards himself as a “chocolatier.” However, the essay can teach you about a lot more than just Neuhaus’s professional interests.
For instance, Ray does an impressive job weaving information about complex
issues like Fair Trade and chocolate production into her depiction of Neuhaus’s attempts to “better our world” through chocolate. Moreover, Ray also includes her experiences sampling some of the chocolate Neuhaus makes and sells. As you read, look for the moments when Ray inserts her thoughts and ideas without covering up Neuhaus’s voice.
As you write your own profile, keep in mind your audience—which should include your profile’s subject. How would your interviewee respond to your depiction? After reading Ray’s profile, Neuhaus said he was impressed by Ray’s “sensitivity to the objects in the room and on the desk . . . I like that she described the look in my eyes—you don’t usually read that. She was also sensitive to body language. [The essay] had a nice beginning and end—made you want to finish reading. Very charming. Very human.”

Aimee Ware’s profile assignment directed her to write about a group, culture,
ethnicity, or place. In “This One Time at Band Camp ...” she has chosen to profile a group close to her heart, the Mustang Marching Band, with a focus on examining band member stereotypes. Utilizing insider information,
a strong interest in the subject, and a personal connection allows Ware’s passion to shine in her writing. Adding humor and relevance to the academic community makes her piece accessible to a larger audience. In addition,
her interview with the assistant director of Cal Poly’s Mustang Marching Band brings credibility to her position. After reading this essay, does your perception of a band member change? What more might you want to know?

Nguyen, Amy
Bonsai: A Way of Living
2010-08-27T07:00:00Z
Profile
Amy Nguyen’s profile “Bonsai: A Way of Living” blends form and content effectively;
the tone of the piece is as calming as the subject matter. She achieves this effect by using stylistic techniques: imagery, diction, and even punctuation.For example, notice how the words “harmony,” “flow,” and “energy” precede the image of Nguyen’s father meditating. She later describes her father bending down to work with the Bonsai. She writes, “his stance is like a person
playing pool, the same facial expression . . .” Instead of merely stating that her father concentrates on his Bonsai, she uses a simile to show her readers
how her father ponders each step carefully.
Nguyen also synthesizes the research about Bonsai’s history with her father’s perspective in order to reach her own conclusion. Rather than just writing an essay about her father, she focuses on the principles behind this ancient art practiced in modern American culture. She writes that “we can work with nature by enhancing it, but we cannot perfect it.” Do you agree? Does she make the essay meaningful to a larger audience by expanding the scope to include anyone who appreciates nature?

Bishop, Sarah
Mandating the HPV Vaccine
2010-08-27T07:00:00Z
Rhetoric
In Sarah Bishop’s argumentative essay, “Mandating the HPV Vaccine,” she
offers the newest of debates in the long-standing discussion of teens and sex—
the HPV vaccine. She chooses to approach her audience with a direct argument:
“The HPV vaccine should be mandated [for] young teens everywhere.”
Her use of ethos, pathos, and logos illustrates and develops her claims about
the vaccine. Bishop draws support for her argument from current journal
articles and web sites, and then furthers an appeal to ethos by identifying
herself as a candidate for the vaccine. Describing the virus as “unknowingly
common” among men and women, she also incites pathos in her reader:
“[C]hildren have the right to be protected.” Appealing via logos, she constructs
a path of evidence built on facts and testimony.
To set up and then support a good argument a writer should also account
for opposition. Bishop identifies her opposition as “conservative families” who
might be opposed to mandating the HPV Vaccine. How does she acknowledge
their voices? Does she represent them fairly? Did she include all opposing
voices on the issue?

Tyler, Jesse
Invasion of the Zombie Chickens
2010-08-27T07:00:00Z
Rhetoric
Taking a creative approach to an important issue, Jesse Tyler juggles fact-driven
research and personal voice to form a unique argument in “Invasion of the
Zombie Chickens.” From the beginning of his essay, Tyler draws in his reader
with an articulate description not usually associated with research-based essays.
Yet Tyler’s introduction is not merely an amusing “hook”; instead, it is grounded
with a strong, arguable thesis, paving the way for the rest of his essay. Tyler’s
balance of humor and thorough research provides an entertaining background
through which to explore the issue of “spent hens” in Petaluma. Not relying
on one fail-safe answer, Tyler explores multiple solutions to Petaluma’s growing
problem, giving honest evaluations of each. Such a realistic view of the
problem adds to Tyler’s ethos and provides an effective counterbalance to
the concluding description of the “zombie chickens.” Ultimately, does his foray
into fictional components detract or enhance his argument?

Jahoda, Aaron
Sings With His Tongue on Fire
2010-08-27T07:00:00Z
Profile
Aaron Jahoda’s unique profile essay, “Sings With His Tongue on Fire,” combines
a series of approaches: he profiles the timelessness of Bob Dylan’s music, examines how Dylan’s poetic lyrics inspire his mother to create her own music, and he explores the many ways Dylan’s work encourages his own musical endeavors. Jahoda introduces the reader to his complex profile by explaining the way Dylan’s music makes him feel. Does his use of specific lyrics help his audience understand his experiences? The essay is distinctive because it moves beyond profiling a person or place; instead, the author challenges the reader to imagine a larger scope of what an artist’s influence can create. As you read, keep in mind the author’s impressions of Dylan: “Dylan’s gift to the world is his lyrics, and they will live forever because of what they said and how they said it.”

Estes, Jill K.
Pulling Back the Curtains
2010-08-27T07:00:00Z
Rhetoric
In Jill Estes’ argumentative essay “Pulling Back the Curtains,” she describes
a remarkable advertisement that combines all the attractive features of former
and current tobacco ads but ends with a twist. Estes believes that it is
important to remind young audiences that smoking has long-term effects
that belie its mystique, and for her, this ad is an important part of that fight.
Notice how she weaves analysis with description: “In an age where the glossy
pages of magazines are plastered with cartoon depictions of Joe Camel grinning
with a cigarette perched conspicuously between his lips . . . one can
see how easily impressionable adolescents can fall into the entangling web
of lies. . . .” Estes argues that this ad effectively fights the battle against smoking;
additionally, she embeds other claims in her argument. What are they?

If we believe that the choices we make have a negative impact on the environment,
then why don’t we change our behavior? In the following essay,

sources say, he also faults a couple of them for failing to provide solutions to
the problem of ecological damage. Winsor, like all writers, must make certain
rhetorical choices. Is it a good idea to point out weaknesses in source
information? Is his choice of first-person plural a good one, given his topic
and approach to it? Do you agree with his position on this current debate?

Patrick Tillman

Profile
Timothy Roberts’ profile of Patrick Tillman represents an unorthodox approach to the sequence assignment, profiling an individual without completing an interview, but it does incorporate quotations from and first person observation
of its subject. The essay highlights Tillman’s attributes within the context
of the writer’s prior expectations; Roberts’ approach defines his subject’s personality in contrast with his mistaken assumptions about someone who has achieved at least modest celebrity status. The profile also incorporates narration and cause-and-effect elements into its thesis, but the effect of having
known Tillman is left undeveloped. Would development of that idea enhance the profile? Or would it weaken the essay by drawing attention away from Tillman?

Steven E. Bradley cares about football and Los Angeles; he wants his readers
to care as well. In “Football in the City of Angels,” Bradley chronicles the

considered refutation allow Bradley to stay one step ahead of his readers. L.A.
football fans may be delighted, but why should others care about this topic?
Not into football? Not from L.A.? Perhaps there is some characteristic of this
essay that fosters involvement in this issue anyway. Consider what makes an
argument worth reading. What inspires a writer to make an argument?

In her persuasive essay, “Plan B for America,” Amelia Wing offers a carefully

it effective? Wing’s discussion offers explicit connections to the essay’s thesis
in every body paragraph—without restating the thesis. Her argument is
primarily logos based in the body: the essay’s approach to the topic is clinical
and objective. She leaves herself out of the discussion by not developing
her ethos and maintains an impersonal tone throughout. What sort of audience
would respond positively to this approach? Do you find evidence of
pathos or ethos elsewhere in the essay? The conclusion invokes historical
context: is the analogy fair and appropriate? What audience is targeted via
this technique?

Images and experiences can be can be interpreted in various ways depending on the viewpoint from which they are seen. Shelley Dangoor says that her photograph “captures a different side of Venice Beach. [It] is known for being a popular tourist spot and is always filled with hundreds of visitors each day”—a perspective which is not conveyed in the above image. Without the usual crowds, Venice Beach becomes a different place. What happens when you take a fresh look at something seemingly familiar to you?

The author also uses rhetorical questions to help illustrate her points. How does this approach affect her audience? Do the questions serve to engage the reader? In her conclusion, Clawson discusses her future as a writer. How does the introduction of a new idea affect the essay’s overall focus and purpose?

Sara Adams’ “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” explores the process of finding her own “voice.” Can you recall any writing assignments in which you were asked to do the same? What is a writer’s “voice”? Do they have more than one? Adams’ introduction might be labeled as experimental by most readers because of its style. What might have you expected in an introduction? Adams does not organize her essay in a chronological order. Is this strategy effective? How does the integration of concrete details from her past—such as exact places, names, and dates—strengthen her approach? How does the block quotation of her speech work in this essay? Why would an author introduce evidence in this manner?

Consider the indentation created by the children’s bodies. What argument might such an image make about the relationship between humans and nature? Also, study the children’s facial expressions. What might they suggest about the children’s relationship with the natural world? If you were profiling these children, how might you describe this moment in their lives? What perspective or point of view is conveyed in this photograph?

Goldsmith, Jaclyn
Not a One-Man Show - But Definitely One of a Kind
2010-08-30T07:00:00Z
Profile
In her essay “Not a One-Man Show—But Definitely One of a Kind,” Jaclyn Goldsmith profiles a familiar smiling face around Cal Poly’s campus, improvisational comedy group Smile and Nod’s Jose Molina. How does the writer establish the tone of the essay? For instance, is the title interesting? Informative? How does Goldsmith’s approach to the introduction compare with other profile introductions in Fresh Voices? For instance, she writes, “Silence. On center stage some twenty people configured in a circle, stationed high above the audience. Then—clap, clap, clap. . . .” How does the remainder of the introduction continue to establish tone and serve the rest of the profile?
Notice how Goldsmith uses images to convey a sense of Molina’s exuberant personality.
Are the images effective in terms of content and placement? Does the organization
drive the essay’s focus forward? How else could it be described: perhaps fluid, choppy, improvisational? What devices enhance coherence and unity, and where could you apply them to this piece? Just as with a skit, this essay clearly signals a beginning and ending. What do you make of its bookended structure?

Chirgwin, Ray
All-American Yoga
2010-08-30T07:00:00Z
Profile
Focusing his profile on an activity rather than a person, Ray Chirgwin uses his experience
attending a session of Bikram Yoga to examine the practice of yoga as well as its participants. Chirgwin goes beyond simply listing what a person might perform
during a yoga session and instead uses his experience to analyze the effect of American culture on yoga. Consider the role the tone plays in “All-American Yoga.” How would you describe it? How is the tone established—word choice? Organization? Description? How do stylistic choices—such as the repetition of the phrase, “So pure.”—bring unity and coherence to the essay? Does Chirgwin offer a balanced representation
of Bikram Yoga and those who practice it?

Rust, Nicole
The Thread of Spirit
2010-08-30T07:00:00Z
Profile
Nicole Rust’s profile “The Thread of Spirit” concentrates mostly on the biographical elements of Russell Brown’s life. For example, the author writes, “At a very young age Father Russ had established a genuine love for people. Constantly taking notes, he paid attention to every detail in the world around him.” Do these elements come together to create a cohesive depiction of Father Russ, or are there gaps that you would like to see filled?
How does Rust incorporate the title of her essay into the content? As a reader, can you determine what “The Thread of Spirit” means to Father Russ? What does someone
typically visualize when he/she thinks of a priest? Does Rust’s profile challenge
any common conceptions of a priest’s life? If yes, then what is challenged? Examine the transitions between paragraphs. For instance, Russ ends paragraph four mentioning how Father Russ began his “faith journey,” and she transitions into her fifth paragraph with the same key phrase, “This ‘faith journey’ ” continued after two years. . . .”Focus on other transitions and determine if they move the essay forward
effectively.

Lee, Caitlin
Where Are the Crazy People?
2010-08-30T07:00:00Z
Profile
Caitlin Lee’s “Where Are the Crazy People?” focuses on Cal Poly Professor Lars Tomanek’s commitment to and passion for the environment. The author organizes her discussion according to a pattern of carefully selected responses to the interview
questions that illustrate a particular depiction of her subject. This strategy of relying on Dr. Tomanek’s responses results in a sense of immediacy for the reader, in effect providing the audience a privileged glimpse into the interview and the subject’s
worldview. Also, because ideas are sequenced analytically and rhetorically, not strictly chronologically, the essay maintains its focus on the analytical thesis by using as evidence only the strictly relevant portions of the subject’s responses. For instance, one paragraph explores a key point in Tomanek’s early development, while a later one defines him via descriptions of individuals whom he admires. Lee includes plenty of colorful descriptive detail that directly supports her observations about her subject in the opening paragraph. Quotation comprises roughly half of that paragraph—how well does this approach work in the introduction?

Tateishi, Collin
Hope is Hope and Fate is Destiny
2010-08-30T07:00:00Z
Profile
Collin Tateishi uses his friend and musician Shaun Profeta as a profile subject. Beginning with an anecdote, Tateishi attempts to describe Profeta’s lifestyle as a practicing musician. How do active verbs such as “intertwines” and “trekked” create
an engaging essay for Tateishi’s readers? Describing Profeta’s family background and musical influences may seem superfluous and distracting to some readers, while others may find such information illuminates Profeta’s personality as a musician. The quotations have been placed carefully, but could they have been integrated more effectively? For instance, in the third paragraph Tateishi quotes Profeta, writing, “‘Music was something that was always around me . . . ,” how could Tateishi more seamlessly integrate this quotation with his own writing?

An International Challenge

Profile
Rosalia Rochon profiles Cal Poly faculty member Dr. Peggy Papathakis and her sincere
concern for public health. What aspects of Papathakis’s personality does Rochon emphasize in this profile, and how does Rochon use specific events to support her claims about Papathakis? A major focus in this essay is Papathakis’s work with HIV-infected mothers and infants. How would the initial focus of the essay shift if Papathakis’s HIV work had a more prominent position in the introduction? Consider how Rochon uses her personal feelings as support for Papathakis’s influential nature and desire to create change in the world beyond her academic specialization.

Nguyen, Viet H.
Overfishing: A Global Perspective
2010-08-30T07:00:00Z
Rhetoric
In “Overfishing: A Global Perspective,” Viet H. Nguyen addresses a pertinent topic that isn’t necessarily at the forefront of American’s concerns despite its significance. What is a food crisis? In informing readers of the factors contributing to this predicament,
Nguyen cites a wide variety of sources. Are they clearly introduced and fully explicated? What aspects or elements would you change in order to maximize the information brought in from outside texts? How would you do this? Are there any sources you would eliminate or change?
Because such a large number of outside sources were consulted for this essay, the author must deal with multiple ideas and frames of reference within the topic. Think about how the organization requires Nguyen to incorporate and address such large amounts of information. Do the connections the author makes consistently culminate
to a larger point? How would you change the organization of the essay to keep the focus clear?

A Born Killer?
2010-08-30T07:00:00Z
Rhetoric
When constructing an argument the author must consider how he or she will use ethos, pathos, and logos to appeal to an audience. In her essay, “A Born Killer?” author Leah Johnson opens with an image of her small puppy and a caption asking, “Does she look dangerous to you?” Does this image, coupled with her introduction,
successfully grab the reader’s attention? Which of the three appeals is Johnson employing in this opening? Johnson also uses images in her argument. What is the effect? If the image were not included, how would this change your reading of the introduction? How does the image support the argument?
The author identifies herself as a dog owner. What is the relationship between her possible biases and the logic of her essay? Do her emotional appeals outweigh her logical appeals? Think about how you would approach an essay that discusses an issue in which you have a personal stake. How would an attachment to a topic change your treatment of it?

Examine the evidence used by Libby and discuss how it is introduced and analyzed— are her sources supporting her points in the most effective manner?

Given that this topic is current and controversial,
does Meints fully depict opposing viewpoints? Has she proven that ethanol is a practical alternative to oil? Strong arguments must be supported by outside research. Meints has gathered a number of sources—has she effectively used research to support her claims?

Swanson, John
Don't Fight the Crime if You're Going to Sling Grime
2010-08-30T07:00:00Z
Rhetoric
John Swanson’s “Don’t Fight the Crime if You’re Going to Sling Grime” engages the reader immediately with a clever title and slightly surprising—but technically accurate—
confession. Consider how the introduction seamlessly combines ethos, pathos and logos. Swanson’s argument offers as evidence dramatic, pathos-laden examples.
Has the writer also performed sufficiently extensive research to balance emotional
appeals with ample statistical data? He connects this abundant support to his argumentative purpose with clear, logical explanations given in a confident, journalistic
style. Quotations are smoothly incorporated via signal phrases into the writer’s own sentences and paragraphs: Swanson does not allow the sources to argue his point for him. The topic of media piracy is complex, entailing plenty of room for debate, and timely as well. What’s your stand on this complicated problem?

Vincent, Alex
Solve with Sustainability: A Proposal for a Zero-Emission Transit System at Cal Poly
2010-08-30T07:00:00Z
Rhetoric
Alex Vincent’s “Solve with Sustainability” develops an argument in support of a proposal
or claim of policy. The question at issue here is of local concern, but the problem
the writer defines carries significantly broader potential effects. The argument moves from a definition of the problem to feasible options for solution, including an example of such solutions at work elsewhere, followed by concession of the need for further research in the area, and, finally, detailed suggestions for implementation.
Does that organizational pattern work effectively? Note how his evidence is drawn from both local campus resources and expert opinion. The essay begins and ends with a connection to the “big picture,” giving the reader necessary context and a reason to care.
Following Vincent’s essay you will find documents from his writing process. Compare the final draft to the first draft, prospectus, and outline to get a sense of how this paper grew from conception to execution through several stages of thoughtful revision.
At the beginning, Vincent’s topic area was broad and global, but in the final draft, he addresses a topic of global concern by offering a detailed proposal for a local solution. His first draft lacks adequate development. Can you see where he expanded his argument from that draft to the outline and final paper? The cover letter submitted with the final revision comments on Vincent’s process during this project: the low point of finding himself “knee deep in 200+ page documents,” the helpful advice he received from the classmate who reviewed his essay, and the need to revise for his particular audience.

you’re the one that changes you.” What do you think she means by this? As you read, pay attention to how the role of Burt’s glasses evolves as the essay progresses.
What claim is she making about identity and objects? Who is she addressing?
As a reader, how does the author’s use of second person perspective influence the purpose of the piece? Try to identify Burt’s audience: Her peers? Teachers? Others? How does the writer’s perspective change the way the audience receives a message?

Boyer, Katie
Funeral in my Head
2010-08-30T07:00:00Z
Fresh Approach
Katie Boyer’s “Funeral in my Head” is an unconventional personal narrative in which the writer imagines her grandmother’s funeral. What do funerals represent to the writer and her family members? What do they represent to you? Close your eyes and recall visiting your grandmother. What sights, sounds, and smells come to mind? What specific details about her grandmother does Boyer include in her essay? How do the imagined details compare to those from her actual experience?
Boyer takes risks with her content—imagining a funeral—as well as her form. The first thing you may have noticed about this essay is the use of italics: what do they signify? The essay is fairly choppy, yet memory and daydreaming are often fragmentary.
Does Boyer’s essay show a link between form and content? Does the unorthodox organization work? If yes, how so? If not, what might improve it? How might you describe the tone of “Funeral in my Head,” and how does Boyer convey it (ex. title, first line, point of view, descriptions). This stylistic approach may evoke varied responses from readers, but Boyer’s internal and external observations about this moment in her life certainly resonate.

Tateishi, Collin
Selling Your Lip for a Taste of Freedom
2010-08-30T07:00:00Z
Fresh Approach
Collin Tateishi’s “Selling Your Lip for a Taste of Freedom” offers a rhetorical analysis of a Skoal® Smokeless Tobacco advertisement. Tateishi purposefully uses second-person, direct-address to appeal to the reader and model the methods of advertisers.
When he writes, “By purchasing this product, you are freeing yourself of the monotonous burdens that have plagued your current lifestyle,” how do you respond? Is the tone conversational, moralistic, engaging? While Tateishi relies on both pathos and ethos to appeal to his reader, can you recognize appeals to reason and logic as well? Consider Tateishi’s command of language. He uses active verbs such as “welcomes,”
“horse-shoed,” and “symbolizes.” Do these verbs give the essay energy and, in turn, paint a more vivid picture in your mind?
Though Tateishi’s response is brief, he delves deeply into the content and meaning(s) of the advertisement. What is the difference between summary and analysis? Locate moments where the writer shifts between these two modes to give a fully developed response. For example, the statement, “Color is a major contributor to the ad’s devious message,” is an analytic claim. Overall, how does Tateishi organize the essay? Lastly, notice the conclusion, especially the last line. It is somewhat unsettling and lingers in our minds; Tateishi places the responsibility of being discerning readers of advertisements back on his readers.

Swanson, John
Root of All Evil, or Symbol of a Generation?
2010-08-30T07:00:00Z
Fresh Approach
In his generational profile essay “Root of all Evil, Symbol of a Generation,” John Swanson offers a sarcastic yet thoughtful analysis of a cultural artifact—Axe Body Spray. He begins the essay discussing how we often define generations with “wars, movements, political shifts, musical trends, literary masterpieces and the like,” and then juxtaposes such weighty events with Axe Body Spray, a seemingly passé mass-produced product. How does this comparison set the tone for the essay? How does Swanson portray his generation (ex. lazy and sexualized)? As a member of the generation Swanson addresses, do you feel he accurately depicts you? This essay cannot be sufficiently examined without taking into account the influence of media. Can media tell us how to live, what is appropriate, what to buy? Do you have brand loyalty? Why? What factors contribute to brand loyalty?
What does original language such as, “The Man-Fumes of my generation” or “the real reason for the Great War on Guy Funk,” contribute to Swanson’s stylistic approach, and is such language appropriate for an argumentative profile? He uses quotations from interviews with his friends as evidence for his claim that the “Axe Effect” defines his generation. Is this evidence convincing? Why or why not? Though at first this essay may simply seem like a witty spin on generational typing, Swanson’s ideas have far-reaching and widespread implications about societal values and identity
formation.
