anatomy at Jefferson Medical College. He attended
surgical lectures and clinics presided over by
Professor Samuel D. Gross. Eakins painted The

RHETORICAL ANALYSIS: MY SON DOES NOT ACT LIKE A
BOY Nancy Kalish' article My Son Doesn't Act Like
a Boy is a fine example of left-wing rhetoric,
which is being showed up our throats for the last
few decades. The author tries to sound academic in
her line of arguments, but the arguments
themselves, are emotionally based, therefore they
can be easily brushed aside with the mean of
logic. Kalish relies on pathos, while trying to
make a point, which is no wonder, given the fact
that she is a Liberal...
