Who is Sal Monella and why is he in my chicken Since its recent opening, Sal Monella's Chicken Restaurant has been the talk of the town. Sal offers a diverse menu of chicken, rooster, hen, poultry, and fowl. If it hasn't been made apparent already, this is going to be a review full of sarcasm and harsh criticism. Sal's restaurant has been nothing but a letdown before I even stepped in. The corny cartoon of a chicken with a top hat on offers nothing but an annoyance to visitors of the restaurant. If anything, the ugly ass chicken mascot makes me want to choke it and eat it for lunch, which may have been Sal's intent all along, so I'll give him that. Then there's Sal himself, who never misses a day of work at his restaurant. His judgmental stare pierces into your very soul as you step forward through the squeaky double doors. The food itself actually took more than a half-hour to arrive after I ordered, which is a half-hour too long for a tray of mediocre...

DISCLAIMER: I don’t actually believe in what you’re about to read, I want this school to hurry up and get going on this building bruh Part 1 - The Lot There were a lot (get it) of construction vehicles. The landscape of the lot was a pleasantly chaotic mixture of dusty piles of white rocks and grass fighting for its survival in arid sand. The fence enveloping the length of the lot was tarnished, with a hint of rust that gave the air a coppery smell. A dark green material wrapped itself loosely around the fence. Scanning the horizon, a lone wooden post pierced the beige sand, a neon orange piece of plastic tied around the top, flowing in the destitute breeze. I was laying down in a drift of sand I deemed soft enough to feel comfortable in, staring at the sky. The waves of wispy cirrus clouds contrasted against the baby blue tint of the sky. Despite the perceived disagreeability of this location due to it, well, being a construction site, I felt at home with ...

As I got closer, all I found was a bag that belonged to Ben Boss. This bag could very well change the course of my life, if what was inside was as implicating as I assumed. Ben Boss was a serial killer, a cold-blooded murderer whose tragic killing spree started in the Everglades of South Florida and ended in his standoff on the Goodland Bridge of Marco Island, within walking distance of where I found the bag. The bag itself was nothing special, just a khaki-colored camouflage zipper bag with heavyweight material and speckles of green that may have only appeared years after the thing was abandoned. The evening sun beamed down at me as if telling me to leave the bag alone; being this far into the tangled mangrove trees, it seemed like nothing good could come of the situation. My possibly historic expedition into the unexplored mangroves of Marco Island had led me here, a parched mudflat that showed no sign of life if there was any at all. The smell rising from the flats penetrated my no...

For this assignment you will be writing a rhetorical analysis on two different texts; one of those being President Trump's State of the Union Address and the other being the Democrat response to the State of the Union Address given by Michigan's governor. Both parts of this blog should be 300-450 words each. Your best bet would be to start off thinking about the most important SOAPS (probably purpose and audience for each address), and then focusing on the differing tones (if any) and other rhetorical strategies. My bet is that these two pieces of text will be different.

President Trump recently gave his 2020 State of the Union Address, in which he goes over what has been accomplished in his term, and what he plans to accomplish in the future. As with any passage of speaking, Trump speaks with a unique language and style. To begin with, the most noticeable part of Trump's speech instantly is his tone. Trump speaks with a very confident, almost pompous at times, tone, which sends a message to his audience that the USA is a country to be proud of. Speaking of audience, the people who are listening here are mainly the American people, voters, and the electoral college, however, people all over the world have the chance to listen in because of the Address being broadcasted worldwide. Trump's self-assured tone also contributes to making his purpose clear, which is to state what has been achieved and what will be achieved in his term as president. All of this could not be done without Trump's appeal to the literary devices logos, ethos, pathos...

PRESIDENT SCOTT: Thank you, thank you. I love you all so much. Mwah. (applause) My dear students: Years ago, this school began its great transformation. Today, I'm here before you to share the outstanding results. We've maintained our title as an A school, our students body is thriving, and our students continue to graduate and progress on to renowned universities. Our athletic teams are highly respected for the first time in ever. (Applause.) Our future is brighter than the sun we have to endure every day at lunch. (laughs) The days of our school being laughing stock are long over. Gone with it are the disrespectful teachers, sleazy coaches, and traitors within our very own administration. (boos) We are more than a trailer park. We are... a family.
