- What is your research question/rhetorical situation? To what extent does the Hebrew Language reflect the values of Jewish culture?
- What is your connection to rhetorical situations and why are you uniquely placed to write about it? I have several connections to the rhetorical devices. First, I am Jewish and Hebrew is my first language, which has imbued me with an eternal fascination with Jewish culture. As someone who speaks Hebrew as a first language, I feel I have an inherent knowledge of the workings of the language.
- Where do you imagine your writing “existing”? (newspaper, magazine, youtube, personal blog) I can imagine my writing existing either on Youtube similar to Rudy Rochman or on a Jewish website like Unpacked.
- Who is your target audience? My target audience is Jewish young adults. This is my desired audience for several reasons. Firstly, many young Jews are either disconnected with their culture, or want to become more involved, but don’t know how. I have maintained a constant fervent passion for Jewish culture, and I would be immensely honored to share my passion and knowledge with people my age.
- What form will your writing take? (Research paper, narrative, letter, script.) I am still debating, but will either write an article, or create a narrative piece.
- Why is this form the most effective way to communicate to your target audience? I believe that these two methods will be the most effective way to communicate to my target audience because I believe I can create the best and most engaging product with these methods. For most of my writing career, I have written narratives and articles. I have found a way to make them engaging, and if I were to depart from that, I can’t imagine myself making a suitable product, especially with video because I am terrible at editing. This will however be likely to attract an audience of my age group because young adults are more likely to read online stories and articles from smaller publications than older adults are.
- What is the value you’re trying to impart on your audience? The value I desire to impart is a passion, interest, and hopefully a love for Jewish culture.
