Rhetorical Analysis

Rhetoric Review is an academic interdisciplinary journal of rhetoric. The journal issues in all areas of rhetoric and writing, and delivers a professional debate for its readers to reflect and discuss the topics and issues. The journal issues texts that investigate the extent and complexity of the discipline. We can conclude from the information that Porter’s main audience were college students mainly in writing classes. Porter’s motive could be helping college students by claiming that once the author knows how to write for a particular audience, they will be more likely to become a successful writer. Porter talks about how students should learn to write for a discourse community instead of writing to

In the works we read this semester, we saw the progressive history of rhetoric. Like any other topic, this history is not static. Rhetoric went from being something despicable when it was first introduced to it being something that could perhaps work, then becomes suspicious again during the Enlightenment period, and finally being redeemed in the 20th century. Similarly, we also saw the transformation of the oral culture into the written culture and the implications that it had on rhetoric. Now, we are beginning to see another transformation involving the written culture and the digital culture. Just like the earlier implications caused by the first shift in cultures, this shift will also have significant

Dr. Esch English 111-07 October 8th, 2017 Ruff Life In the Rhetorical Situation, Lloyd F. Bitzer argues that what makes a situation rhetorical is similar to that which constitutes a moral action as he writes that, “an act is moral because it is an act performed in a situation of a certain kind; similarly, a work is rhetorical because it is a response to a situation of a certain kind”. (3) “By defining the rhetorical situation in this way, Bitzer further contends that rhetoric is a means to altering reality”. (4) “It is through the use of discourse that one is capable of changing reality through thought and action”. (4) “While Bitzer notes that there are more parameters for a situation to qualify as being rhetorical, he

Due to WRIT101 I am now able to collaborate in communities of writers and readers. Engaging in workshops has improved my writing skills and made me able to detect my weak points in a specific writing. I believe that good writers become great writers by going beyond the call of duty and beyond the textbook and by engaging within the writing community. This also shows that I now know how to expand my research literacy. I do not only gather my information from journals and online sources, but also by going out in the community and asking. This course has increased my ability to read rhetorical situations and make rhetorical choices in my writing; this was mainly done while I was doing the Discourse Community Ethnography. The Discourse Community Ethnography helped me in viewing a community as a discourse community even though I may not seem like one at first. This course has also made me be more comfortable with taking risks in new writing situations. I think by far the Rhetorical Summary was the best piece of writing I have done this semester. I took risk in writing about something completely new to me, and a topic that I knew nothing about, yet I think it

In this rhetorical rationale on English 1010, my purpose is to professionally present a rhetorical analysis of this review. Since day one of my English 1010 class, I have learned a lot about rhetoric, it has been long time since I was in school, I didn’t know what ethos, logos or pathos meant. And that when you read an essay, an article, a book, newspaper, etc, they all have a purpose and an audience. For me it is really hard to understand when I read and write something because the minute I finish reading it, I forget what was all about. With all I have learned in this class now I can concentrate and focus more, I’m able to identify the parts of a rhetorical triangle, I know how to write a summary and rhetorical analysis.

Discourse 100 has been a wonderful class to reflect back on. The most important elements that I believe are important to consider are my experiences in this course. Those experiences include learning and presenting a multi-modal project, developing narratives, and rhetorically analyzing Ronson’s The Psychopath Test. These experiences convey how much I grew as a writer or speaker.

This class has been a stepping stone to my accomplishments as a writer. Over the course of semester, I have been challenged to tackle several different writing styles and succeed in each one in a unique way. It is through the rhetoric, technology, research, and collaboration used in this class that has progressed me as a writer and an individual.

The world we live in is filled with opportunity. Opportunity for change, opportunity for inspiration, and opportunity for creativity all live in the world waiting to be discovered. Though, how people interact with the world differs from person to person. In this essay I argue that rhetoric is a mindset while the world we live in is encompassed by opportunity, how people interact with this opportunity changes their life, thus making the world rhetorical by giving humans chance.

During this peer review assignment, we were assigned two individuals to give us feedback on our papers. The two individuals who read over my paper was Kelsie Brooks and Ashlyn York, they both explained what my paper was written over, then they provided me helpful feedback on what to add or revise throughout the paper. Brooks explained how I needed to elaborate more on the paragraph about memories, and York wrote how I should fix my grammatical errors. So, therefore, I added more to the paragraph about memories, revised some sentences, and corrected a lot of my grammar within sentences.

Coming into UCWR 110, I never had a class that focused strictly on writing and techniques for writing different papers. Throughout the semester, the growth in developing main ideas, thesis, and analytical analysis has improved. From this class, the growth in writing has not only improved not only writing skills, but the reading involved in the class has presented itself in different mediums, as well as different genres and topics, all adding to a more holistic approach to rhetoric. So from here, I see us on a continuing path of perfecting the craft of writing and to implement the techniques learned in this class to other classes, and in the professional workplace one day.

For the first project of this class, I faced a familiar foe: rhetorical analysis. This was a juncture in my writing path, where I could continue down the path of mechanical meticulous

Transitioning from a setting of required learning to one of voluntary participation enabled me to grow in directions as a student that I would not have deemed possible before I had enrolled in English 101. I have developed completely contrasting perspectives in regards to writing than I held at the beginning of the semester, the most notable one being; instead of striving to be the most knowledgeable writer in the classroom, I now wish to be the most persuasive. Through surpassing personal endeavors as a writer, I have developed the understanding that this was due to my will to understand the art of rhetor, establishing my argument through supporting facts, and appealing to the ethos, pathos, and logos of my audience. I grew as a student

Understating the genre and audience as well as the rhetorical process generated a detailed development of the webpage, which throughout diverse deadlines of every process, attempted to a better final project. Notwithstanding high-school projects would produce analogous outcomes, I understand what writing was about in English 1101. For instance, adapting you communication, aware of audience, genre, purpose of communication, as well as having a strong yet debatable thesis, make me become aware of the complicated nature of the rhetorical situation, which unfortunately, I did not have the pleasure to know before.

It was a long day and I had to stay on campus until 9:30 for a lab. When I completed my initial draft, I was just glad that it was done and didn’t add another sentence until after the peer review. After the peer review, I received a lot of the same conclusions I found on my own. From the lack of quotes to the difficulty of understanding the message, I truly benefited from the experience. I also benefited from correcting my other classmate's paper since I
