How social media influencers only post glorified versions of themselves on the internet and make others feel bad about their own lives https://nowcomment.com/documents/367678?scroll_to=3242104 https://nowcomment.com/documents/367678?scroll_to=3242104 Thu, 09 May 2024 15:03:40 -0400 This confirms my argument https://nowcomment.com/documents/367678?scroll_to=3242095 https://nowcomment.com/documents/367678?scroll_to=3242095 Fri, 16 Feb 2024 11:37:54 -0500 Having a contrasting point of view could help support my argument more https://nowcomment.com/documents/367678?scroll_to=3242075 https://nowcomment.com/documents/367678?scroll_to=3242075 Fri, 16 Feb 2024 11:37:19 -0500 Descriptive language and pathos https://nowcomment.com/documents/362437?scroll_to=3203853 https://nowcomment.com/documents/362437?scroll_to=3203853 In this paragraph, Skloot writes about Deborah's lively and talkative nature, describing her as someone who constantly engages with the world around her. The rhetorical choice that Skloot uses is the vivid and descriptive language that depicts Deborah's behavior. The appeal being used is pathos, as Deborah's charming character can evoke an emotional response from the reader, or maybe even relate to her.

This use of syntax establishes ethos by presenting the scientific discovery of cell fusion through credible historical evidence. Tue, 05 Dec 2023 12:35:20 -0500 Pathos https://nowcomment.com/documents/360952?scroll_to=3196782 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360952?scroll_to=3196782 This paragraph uses pathos when Skloot talks about walking past her old school. It could appeal to some readers emotions in that a lot of children could've also been taunted at school, or experienced racial discrimination. "She’d walk two miles—past the white school where children threw rocks and taunted her—to the colored school, a three-room wooden farmhouse hidden under tall shade trees, with a yard out front where Mrs. Coleman made the boys and girls play on separate sides." Tue, 28 Nov 2023 15:16:16 -0500 Personification and Pathos https://nowcomment.com/documents/362435?scroll_to=3190710 https://nowcomment.com/documents/362435?scroll_to=3190710 Skloot uses personification when describing Henrietta's cancer cells in the sentence: "But them cells, boy, them cells of hers is somethin else. No wonder they never could kill them … That cancer was a terrible thing". The rhetorical appeal of pathos is also present in this sentence. The description of the cells as "something else" could elicit an emotional response from the reader, as it characterizes the cancer cells as an unstoppable threat. Mon, 20 Nov 2023 14:44:57 -0500 This sentence describes a scientific calculation about the HeLa cells, that appeals to the author's sense of credibility and logic. https://nowcomment.com/documents/360952?scroll_to=3177789 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360952?scroll_to=3177789 Thu, 09 Nov 2023 13:17:57 -0500
