Problem Statement: In the problem That’s Entertainment we had to find out how the magician did his magic trick using math. The trick was as followed: you will shuffle the card then pull the first one off the top of the deck. For example, if the card is a 3 you’ll place it down then you’ll count up to 12 starting at 3.

He stated “He didn’t see size, race, intelligence, sex, religion, or the hundred other things… All he saw was the person” (Shepard). He spoke these words to show that Matthew did not deserve this, and also to prove that his death was a hate crime due to his beliefs and outgoing characteristics. However, he states “good is coming out of evil. People have said ‘Enough is enough.’ You made the world realize that a person’s lifestyle is not a reason for discrimination, intolerance, persecution, and violence” (Shepard).

Starbucks value statement says, "Creating a culture of warmth and belonging, where everyone is welcome" (Starbucks). In November of 2015, Starbucks, the popular coffeehouse chain, released their Holiday-themed cups. Shockingly, they were plain red, a simple cup. These cups were an extreme difference when compared to years past, where they featured vintage ornaments or hand-drawn reindeer.

To capture the controversy, Machado and Moyer use similar sources and appeals to value, but deal differently with opposition and appeals to logic. When creating this argument, satire is a more effective rhetorical strategy than straightforward rhetoric because it has the power to exaggerate the situation and produce richer appeals to value and logic.
