Crisis Rhetoric

     There are 5 parts to crisis rhetoric that I've learned today.

  1. Urgency
  2. Crisis as Reality
  3. Dramatic Characters
  4. Policy as Morality
  5. Rhetorically Generative
    In class we've used the speech from former president Donald Trump to analyse the different parts of crisis rhetoric. With urgency it's demonstrated that something needs to happen right now. Crisis as Reality needs to show that crisis is effecting the audience. Dramatic characters are the good vs. the bad. Policy as morality states that it's the right thing to do and rhetorically generative is specifically choosing someone to make them out to be evil.

Reflection 3/19

    I'm glad there wasn't much for us to do today. Plus it's Friday, it's the end of the week and at that point I'm just ready to get out of school. My only problem with today is the direction explaining. At first it was explained one way, but when we do it wrong there's a problem. Should've been made clear the first time, we're all not mind readers. Especially when some of us are doing school virtually.

3/23

      This is going to be a short post. I wasn't feeling very well today, so I wasn't able to attend the rest of my classes. I don't think there's too much I need to catch up on, but hopefully it's not complicated when I attend class on Thursday. It was nice to have a break from staring at a screen all day though.

5/12-Exam Day

      The exam wasn't too bad at all really. I think I actually did really good on the multiple choice timing wise and  feeling confident on what was the best answer. The essay part wasn't too bad, but I ended up spending too much time on the synthesis essay. Even though that was the case, I was still able to finish the rhetorical analysis and argumentative essay. I didn't do great on rhetorical analysis because I couldn't remember much of the devices, but I pulled what I could remember. Argumentative was ok, but it could've been better now that I'm thinking about it. My hand was hurting at that point and I just wanted to be done. So I'd say synthesis was my best essay out of all 3 of them. The exam on a whole felt a little more easier than the practice we've been doing. It was a lot easier for me to read the passages and understand them which made it a lot easier for me.
