#7 Robert Frost: The Figure a Poem Makes
The artist and deliberate poet Robert Frost, a hard-knocks poet with ambition to change the style of poetry. In the essay The Figure a Poem Makes, the furious invective tone and the straightforward satiric style of Robert Frost illustrates the main purpose to identify the flaws in modern poetry today. Mr. Frost addresses his audience as the modern poets calling them "Sprung-rhythmists" and how they are not emotional enough towards their own writing, "No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader." Robert Frost digresses among the main differences in poetry when he was the modern and new artist versus the time period where he had to watch and observe the new trends in poetry take over the complex and emotional original style of poetry. The appeal is very credible to the reader for the main reason that Mr. Frost was a very high-end poet himself, but at the same time he is very specific with the changes and the crucial patterns that left the hearts of the modern poetry that should have always been apart of the art. The wisdom of Robert Frost to analyze the poetry as well beginning to realize as the years go on that he is soon going to give his role in poetry to a new artist one day is easier to explain in the words of the man himself, "It begins in delight and ends in wisdom.. in a clarification of life not necessarily a great clarification such as sects and cults are founded on. But in a momentary stay against confusion." The man with plenty to say has deliberated his ferocious side and exemplified his true feelings towards the new style of poetry but has also shown maturity in the fact that he has grown to analyze and guide the new and incorporate the old.

TOW#6 Triump?
Donald Trump running for election to begin with sounds silly and unnecessary. This illustration just gives a simple example of why Donald trump should not be in the office. The rhetorical device used here is irony because Donald trump is using the idea of how can President Barack Obama be our president if he isn't even from USA? But at the same time Donald Trump doesn't have the slightest bit of normal in him. This cartoon illustrates the true emotions of the people of the United states possibly having a wealthy, egotistical, nut-job as a president of a strong and imperial nation. I believe the creator of this illustration has displayed that Donald Trump may think his triumph to become president is valid but, as of right now things aren't looking to hot.

TOW #5
F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Crack up describes the morals that come with life and the decisions we make will always come back around to haunt us at some point. Fitzgerald uses the rhetorical device homily to tell what she believes are the true cracks in the world. Her opinions were proven to be logical but at the same time through Fitzgerald's experience as a child she was able to see the world as a opportunist and use the cracks to leap ahead and solve the issues that came her way. It was used on page 142 that life can perceived from the eye of the beholder and this method was not built from her ideas she developed this after viewing her favorite films and celebrities and just observed her specific environment. This is effective because she really wants he audience to think outside of the box and push ourselves to understand the true anomaly that comes with everyday life.

Tow #4 Letter From Birmingham Jail
It's April 16th, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. Is in Birmingham City Jail. In this letter Dr. King wrote to the African Americans to tell them that change will happen. "Seldom, if ever, do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all of the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would be engaged in little else in the course of the day." Martin Luther King Jr, a man of his word and compromise devoted his time to the people, saying that he will get out soon and when he does there will be change. This Essay for my forth TOW uses the rhetorical device Homily to speak of what is going on in the black community, declaring there needs to be a change in society. I believe this is effective because he is also going through the segregation process as well, which makes him more credible in the sense that the audience can relate and really believe that this has to stop. Letter from Birmingham Jail is not a plead for help, it is a cry for freedom and belief that if the black community unifies then and only then the entire community will change for the better.
