In Class: Rhetorical Thinking

Thinking in general is, to me, the same thing as seeing an ad or listening to a speech and thinking of it in the way you want to interpret it in your own mind. Rhetorical thinking, to me, is seeing an event and then looking at it from both angles. You look at an event and think to yorself, ok thisis the way I see it but how might others see this? When you tink rhetorically, you pretty much make an argument out of what you see and what you hear.
When you make an argument out of what you see and hear by, rhetorical thinking, you pay more attention to what the author and you start to pretty much make a rhetorical analysis of the statement or picture or event. During yoru rhetorical analysis you might do things such as anaylzing how well the argument is put together to specifically catch the attention of the audience that is paying attention to or reading what you have you have sent out to the public. You , as well, might also want to pay attention to where and why an argument makes sense and where it seems to lull the audience and where it seems to lose its magic. There are many other things to hone in on but the most important part to understand is the purpose of the argument.

I say this because without a purpose for anything, what's the point of even saying anything about it in the first place? You always have to have a reason.
