Some of the key things Jay Heinrichs brings to our attention the 4 ways to pump up your rhetorical virtue in chapter 6. The 4 ways include: brag, get a witness to brag for you, reveal a tactical law and switch sides when the powers that be do. Also in Chapter 7 "Use your Craft" Jay Heinrichs talks about the 3 ways to get the audience to trust your decision. Such as show off your experience, bend the rules and seem to take middle course. I personally like this book because it teaches and makes me think about rhetoric. Before this class I never heard of rhetoric nor even knew it existed, I like that Jay gives us little key things such as what is above and how in chapter 1 he included his personal life.
The presentation on climate change also got me thinking. I think its really nice that you are taking that step to try and conserve energy. There are a lot of people who won't even recycle simply because they don't know what to recycle.
ReplyDeleteClimate change is a real issue today and it will be up to our generation to fix it The temperature has been consistently been rising over the years and there is no way that is happening randomly. There are large amounts of evidence that shows the greenhouse effect is real. Something needs to change soon to fix what we have done to the planet.
