Write an Explication and Analysis of the poem The Word by Chilean author Pablo Neruda. Following the poem you’ll find a link to how to write a poetry explication, and a paragraph sample written by a student.

THE WORD

It was born
in blood, the word
grew in the dark body, beating
and flew through the lips and the mouth.

Further, and nearer
still, still it came
from dead fathers, nomadic races,
from lands made of stone,
that were tired of their wretched tribes,
because when pain set out on the way
the villages walked and arrived
and new earth and water joined again
to sow their words anew.
And so this is the legacy:
this is the air which connects us
to the dead man and the dawn
of new beings not yet woken.

The atmosphere still trembles
with the first word
formed
in panic and moans.
It rose
from the shadows
and even now no thunder
yet thunders with the clang
of that word
the first
word spoken:
perhaps it was only a sigh, a drop,
and yet its cascade falls and falls.
Then sense fills the word.
The word was made pregnant and filled with lives.
It was all births and cries:
affirmation, clarity, force,
negation, destruction, death:
the verb assumed all those powers
and merged existence and essence
in the electricity of her beauty.

Word, human, syllabic, pelvis
of wide light and solid silver,
hereditary cup that receives
the communication of blood:
here is where silence was fused
in the total human word
and not to speak is to be dying among beings:
language springs from the roots of the hair,
the mouth talks without the lips moving:
the eyes of a sudden are words.

I take the word and traverse it
as if it were solely human form,
its lineaments delight me and I fly
through each resonance of language:
I pronounce and I am and I reach without speech
the silence at the end of words.
I drink to the word, lifting
a word or a glass of crystal,
in it I drink
the wine of language
or the interminable waters
maternal fount of words,
and glass and water and wine
originate my song
because the verb is the origin
and the living channel: it is blood
the blood that speaks its substance
and so is ready to flow:
giving crystal to crystal, blood to blood
and giving life to life, the words.

These are the instructions for the paper. I would like this rhetorical Analysis about the tootsie roll pop commercial. The paper needs to be at least three pages. This should be a highschool level paper

You will be conducting a detailed and thorough rhetorical analysis of an advertisement or advertisement campaign, exploring its relationship of text to images and how the ad’s elements function to give it a certain shape and direction to the audience’s response to it. Additionally, you will be determining the ad’s overall effectiveness for its purpose and audience as well as analyzing the myths and values it perpetuates. You will analyze the ad in terms of purpose, audience, context, message/myth, appeals, style, and design.

1. Choose an advertisement and conduct a rhetorical analysis of the advertisement that looks at its relationship of text to image. You will present your audience with a main/central idea that presents your interpretation of the ad/ad campaign and what it is selling to the audience (both the myth and the product) as well as how it is selling it. Presenting your analysis will help your audience resist “falling” for the ad; it may prompt your readers to critically engage with a particular ad; or your interpretation may serve to entertain your readers.

You will want to consider what tone, language, details, explanations, and design will best sell your ideas to your readers. What will be the best medium for your analysis? An article, a website, or something else?

You will want to consider: Answer all of these within the paper

What is the ad trying to sell? Is it the product or something else?

Who is the ad targeting (intended audience)? How does the ad attempt to relate to the audience?

What feelings is the ad trying to create?

What is the ad saying, implying or promising?

What appeals (pathos, logos, ethos) does the ad use and how?

How is text used? Does it support or detract from the overall message

How do the design elements (color, line, repetition) of the visual affect their argument?

What subliminal messages/double meanings are invoked?

Is anything in the ad idealized?

Overall, is it effective and why?

About

“Positive or Normative Perspective” is a Discussion assessment that encourages students to describe a chapter section from a positive (“what is”) or normative (“what should be”) perspective.

Estimated Time

An estimated 2 hours is needed to complete this activity.

Prompt

There are two perspectives we can use to examine any object, such as a chapter section: positive and normative.

Positive Perspective

A positive perspective seeks to answer the question: “what is?” While a normative perspective seeks to answer the question: “what should be?”

The positive perspective is more closely associated with an “objective” or “matter-of-fact” view. For example, if we see a red tomato growing in a garden, a positive perspective would state: “There is a red tomato growing in the garden”.

Normative Perspective

A normative perspective is more closely associated with a “subjective” or “opinionated” view. For example, if we see a red tomato growing in a garden, a normative perspective would state: “There is a red tomato growing in the garden, but I think there should be a green zucchini growing instead.”

Instructions    

In 5 sentences, evaluate a chapter or chapter section from either a normative or positive perspective.

You can choose any chapter or chapter section from the textbook to evaluate.

Recall that a normative perspective is asking “What should be?” while a positive perspective is asking “What is?”

Step 1: Post

Please state the perspective you will use to evaluate a chapter/chapter section/topic: either normative perspective OR a positive perspective.

From your chosen perspective, explain in 5 or more sentences a chapter/chapter section/topic.

You can choose any chapter/chapter section/topic from the textbook/textbook equivalent to evaluate.

Step 2: Submit 1st Reply

Please reply, in 5 or more sentences, to a peer:

restating the perspective your peer is evaluating from.

validating your peers’ selection of perspective.

expanding on their perspective with your own thoughts.

Step 3: Submit 2nd Reply

Please reply, in 5 or more sentences, to a 2nd peer:

Human Needs Theory: “The human-needs nursing theories were among the earliest of the nursing theories. In general, these theories followed the philosophical school of thought of the time by considering the person to be a biopsychosocial being and focusing on meeting the individual’s needs.” (McEwen & Wills, 2023, p.160) The concept of the human needs theory was that patients should be cared for until they are able to care for themselves. The assumptions are that human, environment, health, and nursing are an important part of healing patients.A healthy environment, nutritious food, and accurate observations are a must for patients to heal. The implication is that if you are around an unhealthy environment, you will not heal.  This was tested as when Florence Nightingale provided a clean and healthy environment during the Crimean War. Casualties went down to 2 percent. This is a most basic theory that cleanliness will decrease infection, healthy food will nourish the body to help it heal, and that educating the patients will increase compliance.

Interactive Nursing Theory: This theory has a belief that humans are holistic beings who interact with, and adapt to, situations in which they find themselves. The concept is that people have biologic, psychosocial, and spiritual subsystems that needs to be addressed holistically. The assumption is that “The nurse focuses on all aspects of the total person, systematically noting the interrelations of the systems and the relationships of the systems to time and environment.” (McEwen & Wills, 2023, p.166) The implication of interactive nurse theory is that you must care for all aspect of patients not only the disease process. In interactive nursing theory we can see that the relationship between the nurse and patient is important. “A transpersonal caring relationship connotes a spirit-to-spirit unitary connection within a caring moment, honoring the embodied spirit of both practitioner and patient within a unitary field of consciousness.” (McEwen & Wills, 2023, p.186) This type of theory takes into account the spirit when it comes to end-of-life care since we are treating patient holistically.

Discussion #4 – Professor Rogers’s Trial

Read: Critical Thinking “Professor Rogers’s Trial”

That group from Professor Rogers’s class sounds like the team from hell.  This is an example of a group that no one ever wants to be placed in when it comes to college group assignments.  I get it; I’ve been there.  There is a lesson and purpose here though – interdependence, or lack thereof. 

For this discussion, I want you to write about a time when you had to act interdependently.  This means, you had to work in concert with someone else.  This could be in a group project, like Professor Rogers’s class, or at your job or maybe even at home when it comes to family responsibilities.  Some of you may be married or not.  Regardless, we are all expected to work interdependently in some capacity, right?  Discuss it here with the class.

400-word initial response; respond to ONE peer, 300 words in order to get full credit

Writing Assignment #8 – Team Meaningfulness

Read: “Team Interdependence as a Substitute for Empowering Leadership Contribution to Team Meaningfulness and Performance”

It is important for all of us to have some level of meaningfulness in our lives for excellent mental health.  We need that in our personal lives as well as in our professional lives, especially when we are expected to work with others.

For this writing assignment, make sure you read the above-mentioned study (long title, don’t feel like typing it again here).  Just get through it; I know reading studies and looking over the results can be a pain in the behind, but just glaze over the stats.  Make sure, however, you read the literature review parts of the study because you will need that background information for this assignment. 

Argue why team meaningfulness is very important to an individual.  You can use yourself, obviously, as an example.  Pick out why this concept is so important, especially when it comes to our jobs, and then use examples from the reading to back up your claims.
