Chart or record the rhetorical situation this book (BIAW) is responding to
- Society & History – what history or social norms exist
- Audience – who is being communicated to (be specific)
- Speaker – who is communicating (be specific)
- Message – what is being communicated (just one thing? many things?)
- Purpose – what is the mission or goal?
- Context – What is the Kairos/timing/exigence?
After learning about rhetoric and the use, we can understand the role they play in a story or even in life. In the book Bad Ideas About Writing, the history or background are the ideas created about how writing should exist. The audience are teachers and students who are looking to learn the proper form of writing and the message is to teach them that not everything previously categorized is true. The speakers are a group of many different teachers who realized the limits the ideas many gave on writing were actually hurting the future scholars. This book is used during modern times like today where the art of writing needs revival. Bad ideas about writing was created to help eliminate the misconceptions on writing, and to rekindle the original fire of passion we all had towards writing when we were younger.
