Writer’s Journal Prompt [Blogs@Baruch]

Carroll describes several ways we might already be using rhetoric in formal and informal ways throughout our lives. Choose one of the following prompts to write about this week:

  1. How do you use rhetoric in your daily life? What messages do you try to communicate? To what audiences?
  2. Describe a rhetorical situation you have been part of. What was the exigence? Who were the audiences? What were the constraints and affordances? If it helps, you could include a visual representation by using a rhetorical triangle to chart the situation.
rhetorical triangle
Rhetorical Triangle Chart A white triangle in the middle of a gray circle contained in a white rectangle. Within the white triangle is Purpose (mission, goal). Outside the triangle but within the gray circle in context (kairos or timing). Floating in the white rectangle beyond the circle is: Society and History Audience (who is being communicated to) and pathos (empathy and values) Speaker (who is communicating) and ethos (credibility and trust) Message (what is being communicated) and logos (logic/reason or proof)
