Pumpkin pie spice isn't just for fall lattes - 1 views

shared by anhaltar on 01 Oct 14 - No Cached
  •  
    In this article the rhetor is focusing on an audience that would like to cook, because they are sharing tips on what pumpkin spice can be added to. She uses logos in that she sets up the article so it talks about fall and the pumpkin spice latte before diving into other recipes that it can be added to. There is also good Kairos because fall just started and its the perfect time for pumpkin spiced dishes.

    This is an example of rhetoric because it is trying to persuade people to think that apple is better than windows and is also adapted towards a specific audience of window users.

    Also I would say that it is also addressing a contingent issue because there is a lot of debate on whether apple or windows is better.
  •  
    I would also say that this is responsive. People could easily disagree with this picture and respond with a picture that has the opposing opinion.
  •  
    I would say that this is also building an Apple community by persuading people that it is better than windows.
  •  
    This is also showing how much more simple the ios software is to use versus the more complicated windows software. In a way its using logos to show this.
  •  
    I find it interesting as we said in class that with no text or dialogue in the picture, the rhetor just assumes that we know what the labels represent.

Articles: Global Warming's Reckless Rhetoric - 1 views

  •  
    The Article is an example or rhetoric because it is carefully planned to be very opinionated and convincing. It is responsive to the question of if humans are the cause to global warming. It definitely seeks to persuade the audience to believe that the thought of humans not being at fault for global warming is unacceptable. And it addresses a continent issue that has been debated back and fourth for years.
  •  
    This article is actually claiming that those who think humans are causing global warming are overreacting -- it's saying that environmentalists are using "reckless" scare tactics and rhetoric to make the situation seem worse than it is. Read carefully!

  •  
    This article obviously has the characteristic of trying to persuade as seen in the title of the article. But it also is adapted to an audience which is the target group of voters. Also to name a function is that it is advocating the side of the non-legalization of marijuana.
  •  
    This article is great at addressing a continent issue because it is one of the hottest debated topics as far as states go right now.

    This is absolutely a great video. I think Wil Wheatons point about how other people decided to make what you love is only for nerds is not your decision is a great point.

    this was a really good video. I feel like his explanation on why people get called names was really great
  •  
    Really liked this video! He gives the reality of the matter but also gives advise for people on how to feel better

  •  
    I found this article entertaining because there are so many girls who dress like a "geek" but are the furthest thing from it
  •  
    It is interesting how something that a term that is infamous for representing people that are "unpopular" or "social inept" is now a label that people seem to strive for nowadays.

    Hipsters are the friends who sneer when you cop to liking Coldplay. They're the people who wear T-shirts silk-screened with quotes from movies you've never heard of and the only ones in America who still think Pabst Blue Ribbon is a good beer. They sport cowboy hats and berets and think Kanye West stole their sunglasses.

How to navigate cliques - 1 views

  •  
    This Article gives an interesting perspective on staying on the right path when going to high school and staying clear of cliques. Gives a neat view on how these cliques are created.
  •  
    This article gives a unique look on cliques and how they do not disappear after high school but instead just take different forms. But yet how people will still alter who they are to be in these cliques to feel like they belong.
  •  
    I thought that this article was very interesting because I never thought that my high school had that many cliques. There were a few but it was always just because of the activities that those people were in. Overall, I think we just had a lot of people so everyone just worried about themselves.
