Today in class we learned about rhetorical situations. A rhetorical situation is any circumstance in which one or more people employ rhetoric. There are 8 components of rhetorical situations. The components are exigence,context,speaker, purpose,audience, text, genre,and message. Exigence is what motivated the writer to write. Context is when and what was happening during the time the text was written. Speaker is the person arguing. Purpose is what the author want to accomplish. Audience is the listeners, or who the author wanted to reach. Text is the spoken word. Genre is how the argument is delivered. Message is the theme. I enjoyed how the lesson was connected to real world events .
Today in class we read an article and answered multiple choice questions. I did much better on this one than the first one. I have gotten a hang of the process of elimination. I'm confident I'll be able to do this well on test.
