...Name: Institution: Course: Date: Rhetorical Argumentative Essay: Charge Master The author has written the text with an aim of showing how the high cost of health care services is destroying the health care in the United States of America. The text is intended to show the long term impact of overpricing health services on the American economy. For instance, the author argues that a lot of money from the government is being spent on the provision of health care wrongly bypaying for services that are overpriced through its insurance programs. The author argues that the government and other stakeholders are contributing to the high cost of health care due to them failing take initiatives aimed at reducing this cost. Therefore, the author uses the text as a tool of convincing Americans on the need of reducing the unrealistic cost of health services in order to reduce the negative implications of the high cost of health care to the economy in the future. For purposes of ensuring that his message gets the attention of the readers he uses different persuasive strategies. First, the author uses the strategy of social proof as his persuasive strategy.

...and finally, relatively low salaries. But these strands lead to new questions, wider causes which have nothing to do with social yarn. These new questions have to do with rhetoric and the enduring association of nursing with “women’s work” and “femininity.” Matthew has the audacity to ask how the rhetoric of femininity actually functions. How and why are we compelled to accept images and tropes as ‘normal’ or ‘natural’ when they are anything but normal and natural? Is it possible that the rhetoric of nursing is responsible for the shortage? Or perhaps it is the rhetoric of femininity and masculinity as such? But how did such a crime take place, right under our noses, when so many of us never noticed that an injustice ever took place? This essay is brilliant and provocative because it will not stop until the crime...

...section Vi essay forms Many people use the term “essay” to mean any paper written for a class. In actuality, there are many different types of essays, each of which has a unique purpose, form, and style. We call these different types of essays “modes of discourse,” and they include expository, persuasive, and comparecontrast essays to name just a few. This section of the Guide has a dual purpose. First, various types of essays are described and suggestions are included about how to approach each particular type of writing. Second, the sample essays are good tools for you to see how these different essays look in their final form. These are not templates (no essay can be a carbon copy of another even in form), but they will give you a good idea of what a final piece of writing for each mode of discourse looks like. It would be advantageous to critically analyze the form and content of each sample against the instruction for how to write each type of essay. chapter 21 expository essays Jennifer propp An expository essay explains something using facts rather than opinions. The purpose of this type of essay is to inform an audience about a subject. It is not intended to persuade or present an argument of any kind. Writing this type of essay is a good way to learn about all the different perspectives on a topic. Many students use the expository essay to explore a variety of topics, and do so in a wide range of formats, including “process” and “definition”...
