I’ll be going into my fourth and final year of college in fall and I’ve been able to avoid English until now. At first glance rhetorical analysis appears complex and beyond my reading and comprehension level but after going through the lecture and reading other blogs, I’ve realize its something we do everyday. In casual conversation, watching television, or reading an article, almost anything can be broken down analytically. Being an engineering major enjoy breaking down problems analytically. The challenge will be scrutinizing the written word, which is a world I have never understood.
As for my experience with a particular subject matter, the Wall Street Journal is the only reading I do on a regular basis. In particular the opinion page often has intelligently written articles that take, stance, and vehemently defend their position. An article I read recently: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124277530070436823.html has a few literary techniques tucked inside.
