Post 04: Rhetoric Context

 Rhetorical context refers to the circumstances surrounding any writing situation and includes purpose, audience, and focus. In Carroll's essay Backpacks vs. Briefcases she says "Media is constantly asking you to buy something, act in some way, believe something to be true, or interact with others in a specific manner." (46) in the paragraph that this quote is from, Carroll is talking about how the media works rhetorically, and the quote is showing how the media is trying to persuade you to do things or act certain ways. In my Doc 2, I hope to persuade my classmates that engineering is a major that is very fun and beneficial, with lots of opportunities.

    Hello,
    Oh my goodness...the media knows how to get the point out there to whoever. That is for sure.
    They take the basic framework of rhetoric and empires!!

    I really found it interesting how you aim to persuade that engineering is a major with opportunities. With addition the reference to Carroll's essay and how media works rhetorically.
