We've spent the last two weeks talking about formalized rhetoric--ethos, logos, and pathos. Advertisements are the easiest way to explore these appeals, rhetoric works in less obvious ways in the real world. For this post, find a rhetorical artifact, a moment of persuasion to analyze. This could be a tweet from someone, a text, a clip from a TV show, a line or two from a speech/interview, a news headline/article, something from Buzzfeed, a conversation you overheard, something your professor said...it will be hard NOT to find a rhetorical artifact! Do NOT use an advertisement or commercial.
1. Either post either the image or copy/paste the quote/s
2. Explain the context--what....is this? Where did it come from? Who did it come from? Who was this intended for?
3. Analyze--how are they trying to persuade? What appeals do you see? Is this a good argument, or pretty weak? Why?
its a short response (no less than 5-ish sentences—should be meaningful)
