Backpack vs. Briefcases

This article talks about rhetorical analysis and the different elements that are involved. The first part of analysis the article mentions are first impressions. When you’re meeting someone for the first time, you notice several things about the person. You notice things related to their appearance, which includes clothing and jewelry. You draw conclusions based on all of these things. A way people use rhetoric is through pathos. People can use this by telling a personal story in order to persuade another individual. I agree with this strongly because I do this all the time without even thinking. Over the years, we develop a mentality that allows us to draw conclusions. Rhetoric can use a person’s personal story to help persuade the audience. You retain all of this evidence about a person that allows you to draw conclusions, whether good or bad. An important aspect to rhetoric is the audience. Being the audience can allow you to determine the language and seek the whole point of a discussion. A big audience is found in the media.When rhetoric is presented, constraints are the motive, beliefs, or even the attitude of the discourse. Trying to understand the idea of something takes a rhetoric process. When doing so a person draws conclusions from reading into it and seeing the constraints tied to the topic. There are some instances where limitations occur with rhetoric analysis. A lot of the time people do not know they are using rhetoric analysis, and it is even seen as being used as persuasion.
