Trump Lights the Flame again

For my Rhetorical Analysis After scrolling deep , I found an article of The
New York Times, on that website I came across an Article called Trumps
Debate Flameout by Author Charles M.Blow. In his article, he went over
Trump's dramatic flameout late September during a televised debate. Many
people had a lot to say about this debate rather they agreed with Donald
trump or Hilary Clinton, either way, you couldnt help but feel some type of
way when watching this heated debate. By reading this article I noticed that
the audience mightve been for people who are interested in the debate, but
also people who are teaming Hilary. Nothing negative was really said about
Mrs. Clinton at all. Trump, on the other hand, was completely bashed. In this
New Times article, what was started was Donald Trumps debate
performance on Monday couldnt possibly argue that he won that debate or
that he is the kind of person to whom we should entrust the presidency. I
felt strong emotion while reading that which is why I want to label that
statement as pathos. Even though I feel like the whole article is full of
pathos, that statement is what stood out the most. I feel like this article was
mainly pathos because I see that there was a lot of strong emotion towards

Row Heading 2
trump such as sadness and very disgusted. The whole article talks about why
Donald trump isnt fit to be our next president by also using strong emotions
in what was being said. I said the statement Donald Trumps debate
performance on Monday couldnt possibly argue that he won that debate or
that he is the kind of person to whom we should entrust the presidency.
That one statement there was a lot of emotion just by using keywords such
as couldnt possibly, In other words, if you think he is fit for president you
are completely nuts.

The argument will have to be that Donald trump is unfit to be the

next president of the united states. It wasnt hard to understand how the
author felt ,cause pretty much the first line no one with a decent mind would
really think he can be our next president. The author tried to support his
argument by bringing up what different reporters said, He included Katie
Pavlich, words from text (Pavlich) saying he didnt prepare for the debate nor
did he even bother to show up to debate practice. In Pavlich Article she said
that Trumps campaign adviser Sarah Huckabee Sanders probably didnt
show up because he know what he is doing and he does what is best for him.

As I read more I found myself finding Ethos Sarah Huckabee

rambles on about Donald Trump saying Hes not a poll-tested, scripted
robot like Hillary Clinton. Thats a great contrast to have and one I think we

Row Heading 3
are certainly excited to see tonight. She is speaking on Donald trump
character cause she knows him personally and knows what he is actually
about and how he prepare himself. Sarah speaks on what we should expect
from this debate . Too bad what most people saw is different from what she
predicted. The poll tested scripted robot took on the debate. She won
because she was prepared.

Hilary brought up a shocking incident that left a lot of us second

guessing who Mr. Donald Trump really was. Donald started his career back
in 1973 being sued by the Justice Department for racial discrimination
because he would not rent apartments in one of his developments to African
-Americans as she continued to talk about this issue that happened years
ago, I picked up Logos being used. She backed up her argument with a
year of when Donald Trump was sued because of him not letting people rent
out his apartments because of their skin tone Mr. Trump went on to explain
why something like that was even the issue. Many other companies
throughout the country were also sued.

The author targets anybody that was second guessing who to vote for.
He Isnt the biggest fan of trump and feels like he isnt the president that our
country needs. He looks at trump to be a phony racist ,Donald trump
brushed off the fact that he didnt allow people of color to stay in his
apartments, he made it seem as if it was perfectly fine to discriminate

Row Heading 4
because it was the it thing to do. With this article, I believe the author
reached out to a few audiences. He reached out to not only Hilary fans but to
people who are even for trump and people who arent really caught up on
whats going on in the election far as who are next president can possibly be.
I do feel like this article was one-sided, and you can clearly see who Charles
M. Blow is for.

Although the author made a pretty good argument and engaged his
audience, I think that he could have used more ethos to back up his
argument. I feel this way because when the issue was brought up about the
apartments, it was more so what Hilary said, no proof from somebody that
actually sued him all she had was a date. Also, they stressed the fact that he
didnt show up to debate practice , Im pretty sure that he, not the only
person that decided to run for president that missed practiced , he couldve
used some logos to show us , his audience if by him showing up really made
a difference. Everybody has their own ways of preparing for things. Who says
that he didnt prepare? Doing deeper research and looking up the
percentages of presidential candidates that actually showed up to debate
practice and the ones that did. We then will be able to critics and see if him
being there is the cause of him losing the debate. This article was very
basis.

Writing Response Journal

1.I think that I did good at identifying the argument of this article.
2.I have trouble identifying the logos, I really didnt find much of logos in this
particular article , like I would have liked.
3. Before taking my essay I got snacks and made sure I was under the cover
with the tv on, but turn down. So I guess you can say I got confrontable
before starting y essay. I typed most of my essay in my common area of my
dorm. I Did not visit the writing lab even though I would like to. The process
wasnt hard at all I just had to make sure that I was focus.
