Reading this article was interesting and I can see some connections with the article that we read, Metaphors We Live By. One of the sentences from her article that I think is important was, “these kinds of questions let you begin to create your own claims, your own rhetoric, as you take a stand on what other people say, do, or write” (55). Laura Bolin Carroll explains to us that with social media we interpret rhetoric. That we use it everyday and everywhere, just as metaphors. Thats one connection that I saw these two articles had. Rhetoric is everywhere and with the help of social media we are more persuade. As she continues to give different examples. Towards the end of her statements, I like how she mentioned that we have to create our own claims and take a stand. Nowadays not many people do and instead they just follow. As her last sentence says, people who understand rhetorical analysis can help influence the world.
