Rhetorical Situations
And
Their Constituents
By Keith Grant-Davie
The way I understand rhetorical situations from this reading is writing or spoken word that does its best to get people to do something. This could be on television, or at a speech, it could be something you read. Rhetorical situations could just be someone sitting next to you hinting at something they want without just asking.
Understanding rhetorical situations is helpful for writing because when you’re writing you can communicate with you audience and let them know what you want to get across in your writing. You can also choose your audience before you start writing.
My thoughts on the article are that it did get the point across to what a rhetorical situation is. I like the all the examples Keith Grant-Davie used; like Kobe Bryant with Coca-Cola advertising “Obey you thirst-drink Sprite!” I also like how he explained that your friend sitting next to you says “Boy, I’m really cold.” And this is a rhetorical situation because your friend could have just asked you to turn up the heat, instead of hinting for you to turn up the heat. The thing I did not like about this article is that it was hard to read. It took me awhile to get the reading done, but I am happy to have a better understanding on rhetorical situations.
you're definition was really good. it made it easy to understand the article
ReplyDeleteI like how you showed examples of rhetorical situations in your writing. It made understanding rhetorical situations a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteYou captured the idea of a rhetorical situation very well. Your explanation was clear and accruate and easy to understand. The way you directly related it to writing in specific was not only helpful insight, but well put.
