Rhetorical Modes

1. Steam poured out of her ears. Her heart began pumping a million times a minute as she watched him walk away with someone else. Emotions overcame her and she was helpless. Angry and distraught. All she wanted was to snatch him back. She felt the undeniable frustration wash over her. A loss for words. To jealous to act. 

2. Jealousy is resentment against a rival. It is wanting what someone else has, and not being able to accept that they have it. It does not always include anger, but often includes pity. A jealous person fears rivalry and competition, but tends to be very competitive.

3. Jealousy is very similar to envy because they both involve wanting what someone else has. Envy is different because it refers more to a person's possessions or advantages whereas jealousy is a more direct take on emotion. They both are used for similar situations, but their definitions differ.

4. It was December 26th, the day after Christmas, and I was perusing Facebook like it was no big deal. Well it was a big deal. Jackie's parents bought her the new Audi for Christmas and now the guy I've been chasing all year is all over her. Just because she has rich parents means she gets the guy of my dreams. I have never been more jealous in my life. Why can't my dad figure out how to make millions of dollars?

5. A jealous girlfriend is common a common term these days. It comes from all the oblivious boys flirting with the ditzy girls, yes they think its harmless, but the girlfriend sees the love of her life being snatched away from her. She imagines all the terrible scenarios of him falling for someone else, even if it is just harmless conversation. Jealousy gets to her head.

6. Jealousy is caused by fear. People fear by not having the trait or possessions that someone else has will affect their life in a drastic manner. A jealous girlfriend fears that because her boyfriend is talking to another girl he will all the sudden fall in love with this other girl and leave her in the dust. The fear results in anger, frustration or even sadness.
