Rhetoric In Practice Project

Improved Essays
The rhetoric in practice project is the second major assignment within the class in which we have to create a work of our own choice and convey some sort of message about Carpe-diem. This project was created in order for us to display our understanding of rhetoric and carpe-diem along with our ability to put them to practice. This project was the first that had me really focus on our course theme of Carpe-diem. Throughout the course we covered many different works that conveyed their own interpretation of Carpe-diem. However there are a few similarities that they all share; that being their negative view of time/future, the lack of faith in a deity or fate, and that the ultimate goal in life is pleasure. Through this interpretation of Carpe-diem we were tasked with creating a work that displays our understanding of this by displaying …show more content…
I made sure to think about the ethos, logos, and pathos of my yonkoma in order to deliver my message in the way that I wished. My rhetoric in practice project can be found by following the link here. In conjunction with our project, we were tasked to write a short paper detailing the conventions of our work, the message we wished to convey, and how/why we did it. The link for this rhetoric in project paper can be found through the link here. Just like the rhetorical analysis paper, we were assigned to create a reflection on our rhetoric in practice project in order for us contemplate our intentions during the creation of our work and what we would do to revise it. This sort of reflection is important for us to think about what exactly we could have changed or researched about the project that could drastically alter the effectiveness of our intended rhetoric. The reflection I created for my rhetoric in practice project can be found by clicking the link

    I had no idea so much of what makes up everyday items came from pig parts. Your essay is informative and you chose a pretty interesting piece to cover. I also chose a Ted Talk for my essay and I think you nailed it overall with the way to detail the ways the author tries to persuade the audience. I like how you noticed her use of humor and how it can be used for an argument, when talking to the various manufacturers about the the products.…

    When reading the rhetorical sample essay, I do consider this a successful rhetorical analysis because the author of the essay Rebecca winter was able to break down the article, looking for rhetorical analysis and was able to see a flaw in in the article and show her evidence towards it. Yes I found the organization of this essay very effective because she use each paragraph to show her evidence, her facts, personal experience, as well as ethos, logos and pathos. I wouldn’t have organized it any differently she each paragraph was organized in a well much welled manner. This article could be presented in a different manner but I don’t think it would achieve the same result as the way it is written now, because if she was to put her ethos logos…

    At the beginning of my journey through rhetorical analysis, I never imagined the amount of steps it would include. As I learned first about rhetoric itself, and then moved onto adding the elements of rhetoric into my own writing, I soon realized there was a complex web of the writing process that would I have to spin for each essay. The task of successfully writing essays based on the rhetorical analysis of well-known pieces of literature included many vital strategies and techniques that I personally had to implement and improve on along the way. Some steps were new, and some were review; but all were necessary for success. Through my comparing and contrasting essay on the speeches of Patrick Henry and Malcolm X Little, the steps I took to build a successful analysis outlined the learning and writing process taken through the elements of rhetoric.…

    In Jack Solomon’s article, “Master’s of Desire: The Culture of American Advertising”, he portrays that American nationals are partitioned upon elitism and populism. The contradiction between elitism and populism is the effects it portrays with today’s society of advertisements and media, and how it affects society itself. The logical inconsistency of this impact is all over the place. Today’s society is continuously revolving around the concept of advertisements and media, where we are consumed material each and every day. American advertisers show us a perspective that Americans believe to have the American dream of society nowadays.…

    The primary objective of rhetoric is to persuade one’s audience through various types of strategies in an aim to induce the speaker’s crowd. Therefore, today we are going to examine the “three artistic proofs” in rhetoric Logos, Pathos and Ethos. Ethos is an ethical appeal which essentially means persuading an audience through the credibility of the author; we as humans incline to trust people whom we respect. Logos means convincing using logical reasoning. Last but not least Pathos which is appealing to the audience’s emotions hence will work perfectly because again we as humans tend to make decisions based on our emotions rather than logical reasoning.…

    The three main recommendations to consider are the purpose, audience and genre. The different questions and strategies to practice rhetorical thinking are well explained and design to favor writers in all composition projects. To start the analysis of this chapter, I found this reading easier to digest than Lindemanns´ work (both targeting the term rhetoric). Lindemanns´ work gave me a perspective of the history and development of the rhetorical practice throughout the years but, Bean´s work taught me specific questions that I can implement in class to start helping my student´s to think rhetorically in order to improve their writing projects.…

    Rhetoric, in the 21st century, is becoming a lost art. Before beginning my first rhetoric course, the only real interaction I had with the word rhetoric was in the term rhetorical question, which it turns out I didn’t even know the real meaning to. It would not surprise me if this were also the case for many other individuals. Upon becoming familiar with rhetoric, I have realized how underappreciated it is. The “classic” secondary school essay makes a joke of the art of constructing a well thought out argument.…

    Often, when one party is trying to persuade another party, they will use rhetorical appeals to try and persuade the second party to agree with the point that they are trying to make. Whether their argument is accepted or rejected by the other party can often be affected by how well the first party uses the three types of rhetorical appeals, ethos, pathos, and logos. These three types of appeals can help a speaker achieve their goals of having the audience listen to them and side with their cause. There have been a number of times when each of these rhetorical appeals have personally impacted my own life, and these scenarios have all helped me to better understand just how effective these appeals can be in an argument.…

    During the first few weeks of ENG 1301, we’ve learned the significance of learning rhetorical skills while writing; specifically, the rhetorical triangle - also known as ethos, pathos, and logos appeals. Whether you need to beg your parents for more gas money, or you want to receive a raise from that revolting fast food chain you’re forced to work at to pay college tuition, these appeals are the foundation of persuasion and can move an audience in any which way the author pleases to do so. In order to be accepted into a community, one must deeply understand the overall purpose and interests of the group. Once this happens, you’ll be able to intuitively understand the discourse community’s way of communicating and interacting with one another.…

    Rhetoric Approach

    Over the course of this semester as a class we analyzed a large variety of different approaches in the study of rhetoric. That analysis finally gave me a much more concrete idea of what the word actually means. One thing that I learned to be absolute though is that rhetoric is in no way a question people put out and then expect it to not be answered. Having taken this class I can now say with full confidence that the notion of “that was a rhetorical question,” is absolute nonsense the truth is that rhetoricians job is argument not Aristotelian version of argument either. As the class discussed during the final day of lecture this semester, “critical rhetoric’s role universal role is to probe challenge and argue, and ultimately rather than…

    English composition was never my strong nor favorite because of my knowledge of the grammar and organization in my writing. Taking English 101 is a jump start for me, because last year of high school my teacher focused primarily on English literature. The course has introduced me to rhetorical analysis, and swatching (imitating author argument). Throughout the semester and all of the papers written I can say that it was a good experience to write at a college level and the expectation from college professors is good for future courses that involve writing essays.…
