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 was a gloomy day. On gloomy days I tend to drag throughout the day. Multiple times I was tempted to fall asleep. Once getting to your 4th period and seeing the poetry for us to analyze I immediately got discouraged as it isn’t my strong suit. Eventually I gave in to the temptations. I may have missed important information but i’m confident I got the bulk of the lesson. I’m hoping for a more upbeat lesson tomorrow.
