I use rhetoric everyday. Even before this class I used rhetoric everyday and just didn't know it. Even if I don't think about it when I use it, I still realize that I use it everyday. Just the other day I used rhetoric when I had to take an online test. My computer was being temperamental and after I had entered the test, my computer would not go forth with the test. So I clicked cancel, hoping that it would let me re-enter. Just my luck it did not let me enter the test once again and it was showing that I had a zero for the grade of the test! So I had to use rhetoric in every way to convince my instructor that I should have another chance at taking the test. I used ethos because I had to prove myself to him saying I was a good person and would never give him false information. I had to prove my moral stance. I used pathos by stating that I was having a hard time with my computer and just made him have a little compassion for the things I was dealing with. I used logos to describe all the logic of what happened with my computer and why I deserved another chance to take the test.

I know you have a requirement that you have to go by but I just wanted to express my feelings that I loved the Magnum in motion article by Christopher Anderson and I hope we have more assignments like that one because it really provoked me and made me think. Just a little food for thought!
