This ad's kairos is definitely times right, during the super bowl when everyone is drinking beer. Also, it has a lot of pathos in the way it shows a cute little puppy with his big strong horse friend.

That is really cute. And you are totally right about the ad's kairos and the amount of pathos it has. Very neat form of rhetoric.

Marijuana legalization is a contingent issue.

We spent some time on lady gaga and this song is supposedly a statement against human trafficking. Definitely rhetoric in the way that it is planned and in how it is answering the subject of human trafficking.

This is a creative approach in portraying rhetoric! It's definitely planned out and is responsive! It's also adapted towards an audience through persuasive approaches (i.e. visual appeals).

I stumbled upon this article on Yahoo and clicked on it because the title intrigued me. I believe this article is rhetorical because it is planned. The word choice is thought out and the topic is explained to those who are previously uninformed. It is responsive and evident by the slew of comments further down the page. Also, the article address the contingent issue of whether genetically alter babies is ethical. This piece shapes knowledge because I learned facts I didn't know about, as well as I'm sure other people learned.

Weird, definitely a contingent issue though. If people found out you were a genetically modified person, you would probably be labeled a freak.

This was interesting to read about. Definitely a rhetorical article!

Calls for an end to police brutality echoed down Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Jersey City Saturday afternoon. "Stop police brutality!" and "No justice! No peace!" were some of the chants repeated by about two dozen protesters, both young and old, as they marched more than a mile from McAdoo Avenue to Martin Luther King Plaza around 1 p.m. This is definitely in response to the police brutality, which helps identify it as a rhetoric piece.

This article is about airlines telling travelers to get used to fees because they are now a way of life and aren't going anywhere

Not that I like paying the extra 50 bucks but I know that they have a point and I too am getting used to forking up the extra cash if I travel.

I believe that this is rhetorical writing. With smokers being the primary audience, it seeks to persuade them to quit by informing them of all the reasons why they should stop. This article also states facts, builds community for smokers aiming to quit, etc.

In this specific article the writer is arguing for legalization of marijuana for those who have reached their 21st birthday.

This article gives some advice for students about how to study.

A few quick moments from U.S presidential debates. These debates are a form of rhetoric.

When the president gives this annual speech it is rhetoric.
