Evaluation of Rhetorical Situations

In this post, I will be discussing three texts that are examples of opinionated public speech and analyzing their rhetorical situations. The link to my table concerning this information can be accessed by clicking here.

Reflection:
I think that my post was very well developed, because it covered a lot of the same material as my peers. In all of the posts that I browsed, each topic (Author/Audience/Contex) was fully discussed and explored at every facet. The time I spent composing the table for my sources was time well spent, in my opinion. By viewing Addie and Tyler's  posts, I discovered that the rhetorical situation of texts varies not only due to topic/discipline, but also because of the intentions and biases of the writer. Each piece had a purpose, and the writers had different ways of accomplishing that purpose.

    I think the Natalie Portman article is your best bet for the research project Not only did it have a good length and an opinionated view, you had a lot more information about it in your comparison. This topic is also extremely evocative, considering how popular so many of the referenced movies are. The article definitely makes a statement, and it will be an amazing subject of a research project.

    I agree that the article regarding Natalie Portman is a solid rhetorical situation, as it takes a solid stance on the subject and is a good source to work from. It would also be relevant to many readers, coming across as a more generally understandable subject. In my opinion the least effective source is the source on reading plays, although it has a solid message it is less effective for this type of project.
