"Judgment"

Rhetorical analysis...what? What is that? Well if I were to guess, it would have to do with carefully looking at someone else’s writing or speech, depicting it piece by piece if I can say. For example such as finding out who the author’s intended audience? Is he or she for or against the proposed argument? Does the speaker have credible background? Questions like these and many others are asked to help better understand the author or speaker.

People have raised awareness about certain topics or issues whether it involves racism, global affairs, economic situations, poverty, political affairs, any such matter that could be considered a problem. And these issues can be raised in many different ways, in which one interesting way would be through music. One band that goes by the name of Story of the Year creates music along the genre of alternative rock, in which some of their songs appeal to common issues in which the world faces today. One of their songs, “‘Is This My Fate’, He Asked Them” appeals to how people judge one another, but in this case, being gay and lesbian. By far, religions such as Christianity does not accept the fact that love should not be towards the same sex, rather let it be between a male and female. However, many people view that love can be shared between anyone among everyone let it be that they are male or female. In which these lines in the song the speaker sings,

“Do you really f---ing think, that it's a choice, a way of life played by discrimination?
You're narrow-minded, quick to judge, with bible belt tunnel vision…. I can't believe that this is still a question, that needs an answer a bigot's eyes, judging lives, based on the sex of who you f---.”

The speaker’s words appeal to those who can’t find acceptance in homosexuals. People should not be looked down upon simply because they prefer a particular sex than what most people find normal or for what their race, beliefs or anything else.
