Chapter 8 Coherence, Unity and Cohesion II Unity Cohesive Ties An Analysis of Anthony’s Speech
8. 1 Unity ØI know a girl, who has always lacked self-confidence, everything she did, she chose the safest way. When she was in senior three, because of her diligence, she got the once in a life chance to go to a famous University through early entrance by taking an English interview.
She wasn’t the top student in her school, even if she takes the exam; she is not likely to get the high mark needed to get to that famous university. So she said to herself, it is safe. Although in this way, her major must be English, she doesn’t have to take the college entrance examination anymore, that is something she had always been looking forward to.
8. 2 Cohesive Ties ØBut I just want to emphasize that, wealth is not all about life, without reaching that goal, we can still make our life meaningful. ØFortune and fame is of course a way to evaluate the quality of life. There are so many people living in the world, although many of them try to realize their dreams the whole life, some are more talented or lucky than others, so they succeed while others do not.
8. 3 Speech by Anthony Argument: ØWomen in America have the right to vote.
Evidence: ØThe National Constitution stipulates: “We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings福祉of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain规定 and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. ” Ø‘We’ refers to all American including men, women, and blacks.
ØWebster, Worcester, and Bouvier all define the term ‘citizen’ as a person entitling the right to vote and hold office. Women are citizens.
Conclusion: ØAccording to the Federal Constitution and a few dictionaries, women are included as ‘we, the people’ and citizens. Therefore, women should enjoy similar rights to men.
Topic for debate: Bilingual education promotes the knowledge of college students.
