“Desiree’s Baby”
Kate Choplin wrote a very emotional short story about the difficulties that can occur in an once happy home. The presence of slavery set a time frame from maybe the seventeenth or eighteenth century, which also made me aware of the role of women during that time. Choplin appealed to the rhetoric triangle mostly through emotion and figurative language.
To begin, Choplin’s diction gave infinite meaning to the ideas she was trying to express without exaggerating the short story. Some of the vagueness she used showed either the need for no explanation or maybe just how formal they were during this era of the story. At first I wasn’t even aware if Madame Valmonde was a mother, grandmother, godmother, sister, or even just a friend on the account of she was rarely referred to as mother rather than Madame Valmonde. I also noticed that the quote on quote “baby” never really received a formal name. The little boy was just referred to as the baby which kind of foreshadowed to me that maybe this baby isn’t going to stick around too long. This related right back to Choplin’s choices in vague diction that yet explained a lot.
“The roof came down steep and black like a cowl, reaching out beyond the wide galleries that encircled the yellow stuccoed house.” This sentence applied to a different part of the rhetoric triangle, figurative language. The sentence is an obvious simile comparing the roof with an untamed animal. This of many similes used in the piece give an extra piece of imagery to the short story. The quote “the blood turned like ice in her veins, and clammy moisture gathered upon her face,” is another example of a simile used is this work comparing how her tears gathered on her face to ice in her veins. Choplin’s use of figurative language gave a fiercer mind- grabbing thought of how hurt she felt.
Above all, Choplin appealed to pathos. There was no limited amount of pathos in the short story; throughout the whole short story Choplin expressed an infinite amount of emotion. Choplin showed how dedicated and committed Desiree was to her husband. Choplin also noted the love to “the baby” because she used vivid imagery expressing hoe Desiree would sleep or even rest with the baby right in her arms prompt against her chest. On account of the pathos shown, Desiree’s lean toward suicide was not surprising yet unexpected. It made me think about how her need for no life if the one she lived for didn’t accept or love her any more.
To conclude, Kate Choplin wrote a mind-grabbing short story about what love can do to a person. It most likely took place in the seventeenth or eighteenth century. The short storey appealed to many parts of the rhetoric triangle mainly including pathos. I thought this short story was very interesting unlike most of our other essays. It kind of opened my eyes like hey don’t fall in love that much that’s just too far for me.

Spontaneous me
Chelsey Wilkins
The poem “Spontaneous Me” was written by Walt Whitman. The first expression from the poem was that this person didn’t know what to write about yet he managed to appeal to parts of the rhetoric triangle. This poem is very general but yet self-explanatory.
Whitman had interesting choices of diction. He used many nouns and adjectives but just not by their selves yet together with a time of day or a place. For instance, “the wet woods through the early hours.” The phrase kind of brings a little imagery to my mind like what wet wood would look like at this time of day. Another example is, “the limpid liquid within the youngman.” Not only does Whitman describe the liquid but he’s like hey this is what the liquid is like you could find it in a boy not just any but like a young man.
Whitman appealed to an infinite amount of figurative language in this poem. Everything he talks about is compared to something either using a metaphor or a simile. Now his choice in figurative language kind of gave me an idea about his characteristics as a person. To me Whitman comes out as a detailed poet maybe someone who likes to include a lot of details, which could possibly be the reason why he uses so many comparisons in his work.
Lastly, Whitman showed pathos. The poem comes across as maybe just a list of things that you may observe if you look hard enough but I don’t believe that’s the only message here. Whitman most likely listed the beautiful things in life one may notice if they just stopped in looked. It’s like not a list of things you could do to go to hell or anything like that, but a detailed list about beautiful things in life, where they are, what time, and what time they are there.
To conclude, Whitman is an emotional person. From his work, I assumed that he tries to look at the brighter things in life. Whitman appealed to a couple points of the rhetoric triangle mainly pathos. I thought that Whitman was a bad poet but came to find out he is a very detail oriented person and notices some of the appealing things in the world that most don’t.

Huswifery
Chelsey Wilkins 9/09/09
The poem “Huswifery” was created by Edward Taylor in the simple, plain style of writing. During Taylor’s era, it was likely of most writers to be simple just jump to the point which Taylor did in his poem. Inside Taylor’s straight forward style writing, he managed to appeal to a couple parts of the rhetoric triangle. He used man examples of figurative language and showed a lot of pathos about his subject.
Figurative language would be defined as a word or phrase that depicts from the literal everyday language to emphasize comparison, relation, or maybe clarity. Taylor used metaphors throughout his piece. He compared sewing a holy robe to requesting God’s help to become fully saved or glorified. He links the two comparisons by appealing to logos. On the account of you should not wear a holy robe unless you are fully slaved which is the condemnation Taylor is requesting.
Throughout the poem, Taylor showed a plentiful amount of pathos. As a Puritan writer, you can assume he is passionate about his religion and wants to be under God’s wings. For instance, Taylor stated, “My words and actions, that their shine may fill; My waves with glory and thee glorify; Then mine apparel shall display before yee; that I am cloathed in Holy robes for glory” noted that Taylor felt that if he took all the needed step to be fully committed to God and his religion it would shine throughout allowing him to be eligible to wear the Holy robe.
“Make me thy loome then, knit therein this Twine; and make the Holy Spirit, Lord, wind quills; then weave the web thyself. The yarn is fine.” This piece of the poem shows more of Taylor’s pathos in the poem. Not only does it show that he is passionate about his religion but it also shows how dedicated he is t achieving his goal whether it is becoming an “elect” or just living his life as a saved man. This piece shows that Taylor even showed the initiative to stop and think of not only what materials he would need to physically create his Holy robe but also the mental steps and guiding he was goion to need to acquire from God.
To conclude, Edward Taylor is a Puritan writer. He wrote a poem expressing his need to become saved and his need for assistance from God. Taylor appealed to a couple parts of the rhetoric triangle. He used a metaphor comparing physically sewing a Holy robe and the steps he would need to take to be eligible to wear the Holy robe mentally.

Phylis Wheatley
Chelsey Wilkins
Phyllis Wheately just happens to be a very detailed, passionate poet, however she managed to overcome her once known as a disability; being an African female slave. Phyllis showed characteristics of a determined person while appealing to parts of the rhetoric triangle. This piece about Phillis had an interesting way of dictating phrases but also appealed to pathos and ethos.
The first part of the rhetoric triangle the author decided to knock out was appealing to ethos. In the beginning of this piece, there were a lot of somewhat facts about Wheatlely but for those of us who aren’t familiar with her work it just sounds like someone trying to toot her horn to the fullest. To stop the suspicion of arrogance, the narrator added ethos. It not only said like my poems are the ones to reed but even Benjamin Franklin; the inventor, first civilized man, the almanac writer came to read her poem this simply intelligent black prodigy.
“She married John Peters, a freedman, about whom almost nothing is known about except the Wheatley’s didn’t like him.” This quote appeals to pathos. It showed that maybe if your slave was special enough your master could form a bond with you. The piece didn’t stop by just saying Phyllis got married but to say that the Wheatleys have met him and aren’t too hot about him and his intentions for their little Phyllis. It was as they cared about as she was their own child instead of a black slave girl.
Lastly Phyllis herself, appealed to pathos in the poem that she wrote about her trip from Africa to America. She showed her thanks for being able to receive the luxuries she received in life. Irony appears in her poem because your convinced she’s thanking god for making her a slave, property of someone else but yet most slaves resent that. She talked about how becoming a slave not only taught her knowledge but taught her how to commit to her beliefs in God.
To conclude, Phyllis Wheatley was supposed to be a prodigy. Thanks to becoming enslaved she managed to get an education and develop her skills as the talented writer and poet she is. Wheatley’s work appealed to multiple points on the rhetoric triangle. The piece appealed to pathos and ethos mostly. Phyllis gave confidence to other female African slaves allowing them to show their true colors and not to be ashamed of their knowledge.

The autobiography of Thomas Jefferson
Chelsey Wilkins
Thomas Jefferson is one of our founding fathers. In his passage he appealed to a couple parts of the rhetoric triangle. He chose to write in first person which showed to me these were his personal feeling s towards the coming of their freedom. Thomas Jefferson is one of the main reasons why we don’t live in an anachary society, so for that reason I respect him but let’s look deeper.
Thomas Jefferson appealed to very emotional diction in his passage. The way he expressed some of his feeling toward the leaders of the other colonies gave me the idea that he thought he was above them maybe even better than them as a person. In the Declaration of Independence Jefferson mentioned slavery multiple times as in those who owned slaves were wrong and he was there to be superman and save the day. Yet ironically he, himself was a slave owner which made me think like hey, what kind of founding father is he?
The Declaration of Independence was a main participant in the act of appealing to pathos. Between the original declaration of independence and the revised one it really showed the feelings to the anarchy that the other colonies faced. Mostly anything having to deal with the English King was revised or debated which stood out to me because there has to be a strong amount of hatred not to want to be loyal to your ruler any more. The original declaration had words such as suffered or unremitting which came out stronger and bolder just jumping straight to the point yet the revised one was most likely trying to make their true feelings toward the king sound more respectful.
I also noticed that around the beginning of Jefferson’s autobiography he appealed to figurative language. “In the course of these debates, the colonies New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, South Carolina and Maryland were not yet matured from falling from a parent stem.” This quote was in the form of a metaphor comparing the maturity of the colonies to the process of a child growing up detaching from its parents. Once again this comment jumped out to me giving me the idea that maybe Jefferson was just a little too much into himself.
To conclude, Thomas Jefferson is one of our founding fathers. He attributed to the freedom we enjoy today. In his autobiography he appealed to three parts of the rhetoric triangle which were pathos, diction, and figurative language. The question of what kind of corrupt founding father is he still roams my mind.

To My Dear and Loving Husband
Chelsey Wilkins 9/3/09
To My Dear and Loving Husband
Anne Bradstreet wrote a poem, “To My Dear and Loving Husband” to show her love and of emotion towards her husband. She wrote a short but self explanatory voluptuous poem expressing her love to her husband. Anne was not ashamed of her love neither was she shy about expressing it.
The first sentence of Anne’s poem noted that, “If ever two were one, then surely we.” This sentence stood out to me because she didn’t compare their love to something beautiful or loving but to an infinite end. She says that there is no other couple who is as in tuned into each other as they are. Maybe even no other couple as dedicated to each other and as compatible. Anne not only takes a brave move as a woman to rebel out with her emotions but knocks down every else’s pettier love. She holds the characteristics of a bold, emotional female leader.
Secondly, Anne appealed to one main point of the rhetoric triangle. Anne compared her love to most unlimited and expensive things most people obsessed about during her time. Anne said, “My love is such that rivers cannot quench,” which led me to the understanding that she really believes nothing compares to the love they share. From that sentence I came to understand that Anne is expressing that her love is something incurable. If you’re dehydrated you could drink water from a river but she’s I implying that there is yet a river that exists that is long enough or deep enough to fill her thirst for love.
“ I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold, Or all the riches that the east doth hold.” This sentence represents an example of how Anne appealed to the rhetoric triangle. She used figurative language to express that her love is infamous and there is no luxury to replace it. She used a metaphor contrasting the value of gold and of wealth of all those of the East to show her love was priceless.
To conclude, Anne Bradstreet is a brave poet. She appealed to multiple areas of the rhetoric triangle. Not only did she express her infamous love for her husband but also inspired all women to stand up for their emotions. Anne rebelled against the role of women being quiet and unheard because she obviously believed that there was no limit to love.

Sinners in the Hands of an angry god
Chelsey Wilkins 2 Page Lit. Response (Sinners in the hand of an angry God) 9/2/09
The verse “Sinners of an angry God” by Jonathon Edwards was a long more informational packet about the consequences that will be condemned on those who are disbelievers of Christ. The purpose of the verse was to threaten all the so called “wicked” Israelites on account of their lack of the existence of God. Many of the consequences condemned to the Israelites were compared to the phrase, “Their foot shall slide in due time,” which means that God may not punish them when the sin is done but when they least expect it.
To begin with, Edwards had interesting ways of expressing his feelings towards the subject. From his choices of diction such as have already fallen to hell, belong in hell, or even deserve to be in hell really makes him seem passionate about this subject. From his choice in diction you can assume that he is a believer of Christ and truly looks down on those who oppose him. Edwards keeps his statements about God positive even it’s while acting in an offensive way. For instance, instead of saying God punishes those who doubt his existence instead he says that God simply won’t hold them up when they are in slippery situations and the misery will come on its own without his helping hand. Instantly his dedication to this entry stands out.
The second factor of the rhetoric triangle that Edwards appealed to was pathos. Edward said, “There is no fortress that is any defense from the power of God,” this one sentence showed how dedicated to his almighty Christ. He tried to let the Israelites know there is not any way to get around God but to praise him. Edwards also mentions the consequences that will be sentenced to those who disbelieve, but he doesn’t just note them he agrees with them as if that is the only belief that keeps you alive today or the thought of God holding them in his hand over hell will determine their fate.
“We find it easy to tread on and crush a worm that we see crawling on the earth; so it is easy for us to cut or singe a slender thread that anything hangs by: thus easy is it for God.”(Jonathon Edwards) This analogy from the verse went back to appealing to figurative language. This phrase is a simile comparing our carelessness to killing little worms not realizing that God has the same power over us. This phrase expresses that Edwards believes God has the ultimate power, but still chooses not to use it on his enemies. Once again Edwards chooses to make God look like a good guy as opposed to the ultimate power above us who punishes his enemies.
To conclude, Edwards wrote a verse warning the Israelites about the consequences that will be condemned to those who don’t worship Christ. He appealed to two points in the rhetoric triangle. He showed many signs saying that he is a believer of God, used many examples of pathos, and figurative language.
