Audience theory

of this, they now give some of the bonds up, but for the audience, it’s not convincing. The other major concern about the script is the lack of emotionally identifying with any of the characters. It’s not clear who the protagonist should be. First, Eric and Gracie are not sympathetic victims. They feel too irrational to care about. It’s difficult to believe that they would not just give them the password. They don’t convince the audience why they wouldn’t give it over. Also, because Gracie…

situation that is brought about by communication of a want to fulfill an action. The poem above, which I wrote for a 12th grade English assignment, is a perfect example of a rhetorical situation, clearly portraying the interaction between the rhetor, audience, exigence, and constraints. I choose to review the rhetoric of this piece because the poem is memorable to me as it is both the first and only poem I have ever written, it was very challenging to write, and even to this day I am still…

look at the camera/audience. Their gazes are inviting people to look at them or their body, and their body language shows that they enjoy being watched.

her ability to appeal to a broad audience of voters through various advertisements. Although her advertisements span a wide array of topics I am only going to focus on a select few. These advertisements focus on her main demographic, which is women. These advertisements, titled "Cheryl", "Alexis", "Sara", and "Mindy" all have a common theme. Each advertisement conveys its message through emotional appeals. They also all have…
