Reflection: “A Time to Break the Silence on…”

They use their voice both verbally and literally to make impact to convey ideas to audience about reasons and determination on their topics. For me, I would probably write about any related topics about injustice presents in this society which this can be in social classes, hierarchies, inferiority of certain groups and gender. I believe it is essential to voice up for those that face injustice when those injustice should never exist in the society. I hope to provide several real-life example that really happened in the past or still happening to emphasize the necessity of such changing is needed in this society.

The rhetorical appeals I will be using is probably pathos, which is appeals to emotions. I believe emotions is a huge part on tying audience’s attention to the targeted topics. If audience do really perceive the message with emotions, they will more likely to act on it and have the consciousness to wanting to solve it which their actions. The literary devices that I will use is anaphora, which is repeating the same word or phrase at the beginning of consecutive sentences. I think it is very strong to repeat the same idea over and over again to emphasize the main idea of the text. I will be looking deeper into this in the following week…
