The following question will look at where I believe rhetoric should go from this point and do so by using identity approaches in rhetoric as well as discuss how rhetoric can be used to analyze other forms of media that the course didn’t dive to deep into, such as poetry, the invention of identity of animals on social media, how social media can shape new musical and or social identities. Throughout the semester we learned a lot about the theoretical significance of rhetoric and how we can use theories such as fragments to discuss the different narrative discourse that surrounds them. However, one is that interest me, that I believe can do with some unpacking is a comic book character’s role in rhetoric.

Said approaches would allow me not to look from the outside in they would also allow me to interpret meanings of comic book character. One thing comic book grammar that I would use to determine the significance of these characters when circulated through different mediums would be visual metaphor, which Duncan defines in Power of Comics: History, Form and Culture as, “a picture of one thing to evoke the meaning of something else.” (Duncan, 2015) My argument in this area of rhetoric would be while comics do have powerful and meaningful text often.

I think that the same should be done in viewing the construction of musical identities that social media creates. I have been in bands in the past and have even achieved success in touring with them, however, the identity that a band member is much different than what I would call a social mediated session’s musician. I myself would even classify myself as that, but what does it mean? What I think it means is individuals who use social media to their advantage to get paying sessions work. Like all sessions work the pay very, but that argument is for a totally different paper. What I would like to discuss more significantly is how I believe mediated musicians use public social media accounts to be able to play music with people all around the world. Recently, I played drums on a music score for a man from Taiwan, but the film is based in Chile. For the past 2 and a half years I have been making a name for myself in mediated music
