DuBois's essay in Chapter 3 consisted of three main devices. These were pathos, tone, and details. All contributed greatly in his tremendous writing.

His tone throughout the whole essay was full of purpose. You could almost hear through the writing how he was feeling and how he was saying it. He wanted to get his points across and get them well known. But then he hit you with some emotion through pathos. For me when he stated at the end that all men were created equal under God and blessed with equal rights which include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, it kind of sparked a sense of reality and feeling bad for people in those days who did not have what we have. I realized that it was constantly said that these were everyone's inalienable rights but it never really stood. Black folks got part of this taken away from them. So people know a days who do have this take it for granted. Even nowadays there are parts of the world that still are stricken of their inalienable rights. So i feel bad for these people of back then who couldn't do some of the things that i can do now. That is why he established pathos to really get an emotional connection with the reader and attract you and in this case it was because of inalienable rights not being given to everyone.

The details in this story are not as in depth as i had expected. He kind of grazed the service. I think this was because of the fact that it is starting to be like a broken record. You start to hear the same thing over and over again. He wants to touch the subject because it is very important but doesn't want to keep explaining it over and over again. This lack of details is genius though because it puts the readers brain to work. First you have to realize why you haven't been given sufficient information and then you can say that this is a purpose to draw the reader in farther.

DuBois is a great wrter as said multiple times but he keeps you on your toes. You never know what to expect next so i guess we'll have to see.
