Amaya’s Response:

• “rhetorical analysis is peeling back layers to uncover the main point of a piece”
• understanding an image or piece of writing and the different aspects of it help you to not only understand it better yourself, but decide if others could as well.

Rachel’s Response:

• Who? What? Where? Why? When?
• subconsciously ask these questions everyday all of the time as we observe the world around us
• rhetorical analysis and understanding your own point of view is important to be able to replicate in your audience the emotions or reactions you are aiming for

We all referred to different commercials and ads. Amaya and I referenced intended audience. Overall, we recognized through discussion how our own experiences with arguments influences how we approach changing the minds of other people and also affects how susceptible we are to arguments.
