Campaigning and Political Rhetoric

Watch each of the candidate videos again. They are posted on the blog.

As you watch each of the videos, keep in mind what you've read about the RHETORICAL TRIANGLE in our text book, Rhetorical Visions. Using your notes, post a comment that discusses your initial observations about Rhetor, Audience, and Text. Use “Rhetorical Analysis: A Summation” on page 7 as a guide.

We will be discussing this in class more--think of your blog post as an early draft of a rhetorical analysis. Don't worry about being right or wrong...just try to be specific and descriptive.

I like this Rhetorical Triangle i never saw it before and it makes things easyer to see and understand in a different point of view.
