SOAPSTone: Subject: The comparison of Steve Jobs and Aaron Sorkins Occasion: When the author tells about the movie that starred Aaron Sorkins acting as Steve Jobs Audience:Steve Jobs fans and the Aaron Sorkin fans;the viewers of the film;columnists Purpose: The purpose of writing this article is yo give an opinion on how Aaron and Steve don't compare Speaker: Joe Nocera Tone: Critical Rhetorical Devices : Within the article the author used many rhetorical devices to support his claim of how Steve and Aaron aren't on in the same kind. Tone-”...has failed to capture him in any way…”this use of words supports the time because he is criticizing the man Aaron. This leads to support the claim because he is stating that he is does not agree with the two being similar.The author also uses tone again in the article “..that are almost offensively in opposition” he uses tone and diction in this statement. The sentence states that the two people can't be comparable because Aaron doesn't respond an environment like the other would. The use of diction highlights the purpose of the article which is basically to state an opinion of a legend compared to another person who doesn't really seem like he is fit to be in the position of comparisons….”NeXT Machine will change the world” the sentence above relates to the claim of the author because it is highlighting on a key point as to why the two can't compare to each other. He uses the a unique characteristic of Steve about him being a dreamer/producer and he then follows the explanation with a quote from Aaron as to how he doesn't agree with the whole accuracy thing and he doesn't understand why this is important because he isn't a screenwriter but an artist instead. This also supports the authors occasion and purpose because the credible person which is the person himself says he doesn't have the same characteristics as Steve Jobs. |
