Throughout my project I used multiple different rhetorical strategies to argue my claims. My audience is my peers in AP language and composition, and my purpose is to convince them that the name that was given by our parents influences our life. One rhetorical choice I made was to include a lot of different evidence to back up my claim. I included various experiments that were done and analyzed the results.

Language through rhetorical discourse does something and something was what I needed to do (Wardle and Downs 348). I’m not one to share my feelings or show much emotion towards people or situations. However, if I were to, I’ll put it in writing, whether it’s a text message or letter, just so I don’t have to show it or say it aloud and I’ve always been this way.

Tone is our choice of words and how our message is project through towards words.

As humans, it’s almost inevitable to make mistakes when writing. Sometimes we forget the simple rules to grammar. Weird Al Yankovic has made a creative way of reminding us not to forget our simple grammar rules that we once learned. Personally, I find that creative ways of teaching material seem to stick with me longer than just copying notes down. He takes the song “Blurred Lines” by pop star singer Robin Thicke, into changes it into a helpful grammar lesson. By using a well-known song, Weird Al gets the attention of listeners and engages their focus into the change of words. Along with the lesson, and new song lyrics, there’s a visual to make the lesson that much easier to comprehend.

Writing is essentially a dialogue that you are having between yourself and the audience. Therefore, the tone you are using has to be right in addressing the purpose and the audience. Tone means the attitude that one has a writer that enables them to tell their viewpoint on a subject. Just as you use different tones to address your peers and those older than you when speaking, adjusting your tone is based on the type of audience you will be expecting to go through your writing. There are varieties of tones that can be used in an essay including humorous, solemn, and critical. Because there is a specific message you want to convey, the tone directly relates to audience awareness because it reflects the attitude that

Deference and demeanor have similar values in comparison to the world and how people interact with one another. Simply, one can look at deference as an illustration of one’s demeanor and vice versa, superior demeanor can show deference in society. The overlapping terms correlate in perspective of society and personal day-to-day interactions.

In this era, one has to set a standard where respect is earned in all things. When you raise your demeanor, E. Goffman termed it as status, according to him there are three types of status and these are the following: Ascribed status (One that you are assigned based on biological factors such as race, sex, or age.) Achieved status (One that is earned through an individual’s own effort.) Master status (Status that has priority over all other statuses and generally determines a person’s overall position in society. The most common master statuses are those based on gender and race.) According to Goffman, we use various mechanisms, called sign vehicles, to present ourselves to others. The most commonly employed sign vehicles are the following: Social setting, appearance, the manner of interacting. The social setting is the physical place where interaction occurs. It could be a doctor’s examination room, a hallway, someone’s home, or a professor’s office. How we arrange our spaces, and what we put in them, conveys a lot of information about us. A person who lives in a large home with security guards, attack dogs, and motion detectors conveys the message that he or she is very important, wealthy, and powerful, and probably that uninvited visitors should stay away. On the other hand, the owner of a house with no fence, lots of lights, and a welcome mat would seem much more inviting

We are often put into different situations in life. The way we deal with it only depends on ourselves. For example, a mother tells her two year old son she is expecting another baby. The child could feel sad and say, “No, I don’t want to be a big brother.” Or the child could feel happy and say, “Oh boy, I can’t wait to be a big brother!” Situations are experiences that can change the way we feel. And when our feelings change, so does the tone in our voice. The change in our tone of voice indicates how we may present ourselves to others. Tone does not necessarily mean speaking to a person face to face so they can hear your voice. But it can include writing a book or paper, or a blog.

Communication in verbal and written form is difficult for me to convey to others. I am the person who will take you to the barn instead of using the direct path. In communication, there are several questions that need to be asked and answered. First, determine the purpose. Secondly, determine whether the emotional or physical needs of the other person are being conveyed through dialog. The second stage of communication deals with the perception of the conversation. During the final stage, assessing whether the point of views has successfully been evaluated and all participants needs have been addressed through this form of dialog process. I think of the cycle of waste or value in all conversation now. It starts with the way everyone receives the communication. It begins with the Ladder of Listening, listens, ask questions, doesn't interrupt don’t change the subject; keep emotions in control and compassionate listening. I am usually on the bio-reaction (the last rung). I find it hard to keep my emotion’s, and feeling out of the way. I will find a way to get my point across even if I interrupt, think about my rebuttal, I must be right, and how can I get the point across to others, it was all about me. I could see why my directions hindered my communication in the social, personal and professional world. When I started applying the Laws of Conversation and Conversation Meter, I noticed a big difference in the way others responded to me. When I first learned about
