Comments by Mariya Little Most recent public comments by Mariya Little https://nowcomment.com/users/70690 I agree with Logan. In the first three paragraphs where he starts saying "Man is the" right after he says "only". I think it really puts power and pushes what he is trying to say, just by using that one word. https://nowcomment.com/documents/199547?scroll_to=1871348 https://nowcomment.com/documents/199547?scroll_to=1871348 Sun, 10 May 2020 11:25:55 -0400 He makes this sentence shorter than the rest in the paragraph to really put emphasis on the fact that he is ashamed. https://nowcomment.com/documents/199547?scroll_to=1871333 https://nowcomment.com/documents/199547?scroll_to=1871333 Sun, 10 May 2020 11:16:05 -0400 I feel like she's listing the people she's addressing by their ranks. From most important (highest up) to least important. Starts with God and ends by addressing her brother and sisters, the common people. https://nowcomment.com/documents/195003?scroll_to=1832315 https://nowcomment.com/documents/195003?scroll_to=1832315 Fri, 24 Apr 2020 13:20:23 -0400 Religion https://nowcomment.com/documents/195003?scroll_to=1832311 https://nowcomment.com/documents/195003?scroll_to=1832311 She starts off her speech with a sentence relating to religion. This automatically brings in emotion because people can relate personally and emotionally to her talk of God. Especially because she says "The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful."

She puts her power aside to be more relatable. The use of these words is also to remind people that whatever happens they are all in it together, including her. Her power doesn't exempt her from anything, everyone's human, anyone can get it, and they will all get through it. Tue, 14 Apr 2020 18:34:24 -0400 Is the purpose to give people hope and remind them they are doing a good job? https://nowcomment.com/documents/191853?scroll_to=1796038 https://nowcomment.com/documents/191853?scroll_to=1796038 By talking about what everyone is doing, she lets everyone know that they are all doing the best they can. It gives people hope and makes them want to keep doing whatever they can to help get through it.

In this paragraph it talks about how parents have no money and then because of that, the kids can't go to school. Then the parents or even the kids turn to crime to support each other. As the kids grow up (and find out this is what they "need" to do to survive) they might have families but the same thing might happen all over again because nothing has changed. It's just a big circle. Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:01 -0400 Use of Logos https://nowcomment.com/documents/189663?scroll_to=1780740 https://nowcomment.com/documents/189663?scroll_to=1780740 Does he use logos to show that what he's stating is actually built off of facts and not opinions, so it gives him more reliability and really helps make his points? For example he uses it to show how bad it was for the Africans. Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:00 -0400 Sentence structure https://nowcomment.com/documents/186954?scroll_to=1750342 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186954?scroll_to=1750342 Because of what Meghan said it shows that many of his sentences are built off of him contradicting himself. Thu, 30 Sep 2021 09:59:59 -0400 Short sentence structure https://nowcomment.com/documents/186954?scroll_to=1750213 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186954?scroll_to=1750213 Through this whole paragraph he uses commas and makes his sentences long, but right at the end he doesn't. He does this to put more emphases on how dangerous it is. Tue, 31 Mar 2020 13:13:34 -0400
