I've been out of school for almost a year, and the thought of jumping back into it scared me, especially when the first assignment said something about "rhetorical analysis". But, after reading about it in the book and lecture, I realized that it's nothing more than things we do every day. Some of the best people of rhetorical analysis are what we call, in a social setting, "people-pleasers". There is nothing more people-pleasers want than to, well, please people, and in their attempt to do so, they use all kinds of strategies in order to appeal to someone. If they want someone, they learn all the right things to say, and the right ways to say them. They always know exactly what their audience is looking for and finds the perfect ways to give that to them.

  1. I like your analogy. If I was having a hard time understanding what rhetorical analysis was this would have cleared it up.
