Successful and outstanding argumentative articles are relevant to their target audiences, use appropriate tones, and have clear purposes according to Aristotle. In other words, they must have a value and be appealing and engaging to their audiences. However, how can such works be identified? This essay explores the art of distinguishing between excellent and poor argumentative writings using a comparative and rhetorical analysis of four works on the “dark side of technology.” The works include the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid” by Nicholas Carr, the TED talk “Connected, but Alone,” by Sherry Turkle, the spoken word“Touchscreen” by Marshall Soulful Jones, and the scholarly article “The Effect of Technology on Face-to-Face Communication” by Drago. While they pursue different pieces of evidence and approaches to support the premise that humans are in a race against the machine, the works also effectively employ pathos and logos and portray strong ethos, which makes them purposefully, appealing, and engaging. In “Is Google Making Us…

Beowulf poem review Beowulf is an ancient poem done by Prof. Charles Sawyer and Katherine Sawyer. Chauncey Tinker translated it and its revised version published in 1912. The poem is based on a legendary warrior who sets on a journey to Denmark with his solders and best friend. At their destination, they meet a king in need of aid to slay Grendel, a creature that possesses appalling strength. The translation of the original poem aims at making it readable and straightforward.
