Tuesday, April 26, 2011. A Star Spangled Rhetoric. You have heard it a million times before. Before every Super Bowl game and at every graduation the national anthem is sung. Every rendition is different and some are better than others; the good, the bad, and the ugly. Have you ever stopped to think about why you enjoy certain renditions more so than others? Transmission of affect, the preceding situation, and delivery are three components of a successful presentation of the national anthem. She finishes...

Thursday, April 14, 2011. The main focus of my project will be combining Kennedy's thoughts on expectation, with Massumi's exploration of the three versions of the same snowman story. The question I will be answering is: how does the knowledge collected from that investigation help a rhetor fully engage his audience on all levels, to be the most affective and effective that they can be.

Sk's Pathos Blog: Visual Argument
http://skpathos.blogspot.com/2011/03/visual-argument.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. I constructed my Prezi presentation over the grave effects cancer can have on young children, and the difference someone can make in their lives. My claim, put very simply, is that donations to any cancer research funds can save the lives of children; without it, more children will die. The third image is of a child who is being attended to by a nurse. He is again bald to make the presence of cancer obvious, and this shows how much these children are put through. It is i...Http:...

Her solution to the crime epidemic faced by higher education campuses in Texas is to give everyone a gun so that students and faculty will be able to protect themselves and keep college campuses safe.

Pathos Spring '11: Bitzer on the Rhetorical Situation
http://tmitch15.blogspot.com/2011/04/bitzer-on-rhetorical-situation.html
Sunday, April 24, 2011. Bitzer on the Rhetorical Situation. Lloyd Bitzer defines rhetoric and explains what exactly the rhetorical situation consists of in his article, The Rhetorical Situation. He says that rhetoric is a context of persons, events, objects, and relations with an exigence which strongly invites an utterance. This means to me that rhetoric is everywhere in everything because there is a situation in everything everywhere that could gather a response. April 30, 2011 at 5:41 PM. I agree with...
