Author Profile and Rhetorical Analysis (Elaine Richardson)
Richardson is a child from a poor family that lived in Cleveland in Ohio State. She has an origin from both America as well as Jamaica. Her teenage time was full of trouble in that she engaged in the consumption of alcohol, drug abuse apart from being a rape victim. However, after the numerous mysteries, she decided to join the school as a means of changing her lifestyle. In school, she developed an interest in studying language (Richardson 675). After that, her life turned into a successful story when she transformed from a village girl to an undergraduate, graduate and finally a Ph.D. holder. Currently, Richardson is a prominent author as well as a co-author of the Association of American Black-language. She also trained at the University of Pennsylvania and Minnesota.
Richardson narrative provides a high motivation to the reader concerning perseverance towards the problems we face in the world or the path that one can follow to achieve the desired change (Richardson 675). The difficult moments that the author went through until her current position establish a clear image on how much we should sacrifice for us to become successful. Her current position enabled her to know that her voice can spread easily and therefore, has affection on individuals that read her narratives or understand her life history. In essence, it is not easy to achieve similar success as Richardson. Therefore, a good interpreter will read her narratives and learn how to overcome her personal problems that inhibit him from achieving success while understanding that it is difficult to encounter the same difficulties like the author.
Richardson writing style is very simple and easier for the reader to imagine. She uses direct language and common terminologies that are easier for the reader to follow. The importance of her lesson as she grew from a very low level in the society, her objective is to make every reader understand the message (Alders 115). Despite the use of some informal words, it is simple for the reader to interpret the message conveyed. Richardson also divided her narrative into particular periods that contain varied situations but established a good relationship between the events to prevent confusion. She provided a clear description of the way she met tutors, professors as well as the conditions that prevailed. In addition, Richardson demonstrated massive directness in the sentence structure to provoke emotions about the situation that makes the reader feel that she is in the story or was viewing her when she faced the problems (Alders 116). For example, the use of first person singular “I” that Richardson relied on her narrative creates a sense of sympathy in the reader because it draws the reader into the story. In essence, it will create a sense that the reader is the one narrating rather than the author. For example, in her narrative, Richardson pointed that she met many Whites but did not respect her, which reveals the low status that she was as well as the problems she was facing. Therefore, it is easier to feel this case of unfairness.
