I think the past couple of months have been the most rhetorical months of my entire life, if you will. With the presidential elections in full swing I found myself right in the middle of the action. I never dreamed that I would care so much about any single election in my entire life. I found myself talking to anyone and everyone that I could trying to persuade them as to why they should vote one way or another. I caught myself on several occasions trying to pry information out of people to learn about how I could rhetorically persuade them one way or another by judging their personal character (determining what kind of audience I was trying to appeal to in that certain person). After a while, I was getting frustrated with how bad I was getting and was actually relieved when the elections were over! This class definitely helped me to better see how to look at these things and how appeal to them more efficiently.
