dan click on 10 Nov 09Summary: The author of this article described rhetorical situation and it's components. In the the article, technology was discussed and how it has changed the audience of the rhetorical situation. With technology, a discussion can be posted on the web, making is accesible to anyone who cares to look for it. When something is posted on the web, that must be kept in mind. This article also defined rhetorical situation and gave examples of where it is used. The author wrote that politics is where you find alot of rhetorical situation. Why is this useful?- The author clearly defined the component I had to write about, which is goal. In the beginning of the article the author said, "All this comes about because the writer wants the target to do something." How is this useful?- The meaning of rhetorical situation is clearly stated many times in this article. Also, the components of the rhetorical situation are defined. Along with the definition are examples to help understand how rhetorical situation works. Why is it credible?- I found the article on a Vanity Press website. The article is a blog that is over two years old, I think if there was incorrect information it would of been reported by now. How is it credible?-To know this much about rhetorical situation the author must be a professor of some kind. There are also zero negative responses, showing that the information is valid.
