When I first began going through the course documents for this online English class I was tempted to drop. Like some of my other classmates, it has been a very long time since I’ve taken an actual writing class and was feeling very overwhelmed. Rhetorical analysis what was that? After reading the text and lecture materials I realized that while most people wouldn’t know that is what they were doing, rhetorical analysis happens in everyday life- In watching television and movies, reading the newspaper or books, in conversations.
When thinking of a specific experience to share about, a conversation at work came to mind. Rhetorical strategies are also the tactics used to understand the other person in a conversation and help you determine how to respond to them. What tone are they speaking in, humor or anger? Is their fallacy in their logic? Do they keep coming back to the same point of comparison?
