I found this posting very interesting due to the fact that I needed a little direction in how to apply this particular tennent to the assignment that I am working on. For me it put it in simple terms that I could understand and showed me with various questions and examples how to use it in my work.

After I read this peice of work i was able to understand the concept of the rhetorical term "goal". With in the web site were multiple strategies i could use to interpret the term (goal). The website not only gave different strategies but it also broke those different strategies into a step by step format that made the reading easier and clearer to understand. Because this website is very well organized and provides detailed information i belevie that this site would be very useful. I believe that this website is creditable because it was written and published by a very well educated and highly qualified man named, Samuel G. Freedman. The information was also published at Columbia University where Sauel Freedman is a professor. therefore i think that the author of this material and where the material origanated from makes this URL very creditable.

Summary: The site I found is a power point that lists all of the components of the rhetorical situation and defines them. Audience was clearly defined and the author gave examples on how to write to a specific audience. The author said that an audience is needed when writing on the rhetorical situation. Without an audience the writing will lack purpose and therefore not do anybody any good.\nHow is it useful? The site was very useful and helped me gain a better understanding on the audience's role in the rhetorical situation. The author asked questions that the writer should consider when writing to an audience. The author would ask a question like "To whom am I writing?" then answer it with description on the different kinds of audiences you can have. The author also informed that you need to research your audience; you need to know specific information so that you can write something that will interest them. \nWhy is it useful? The site was a very easy to read document. It made finding answers quick and easy. Everything is organized and the information is well explained and backed up with examples. If I were writing a paper on rhetorical situation I would use this site. I found what I was looking for in a matter of seconds and found a lot of information on the subject in question.\nHow is it credible? The information in the site was written by Alisa Cooper from South Mountain Community College. The site was probably used as a study guide for her students. It would not be a very good study guide if the information was false. The website is also a .edu meaning it's for education purposes.\nWhy is it credible? The information in the site was taken from a book called Reasoning and Writing Well 3rd Edition. If the teacher drew her information from this book the information must be accurate. Every page of the document has her name on it, the schools name and the date it was published. Citation: Cooper Alisa (2004) Rhetorical Situation: Reasoning and Writing Well 3rd E
