Today in class we went over rhetorical analysis. We went into detail on how to find them in texts and derive their meanings as they're applied. Very interesting lesson and I would love if we went over this further. At the start of the class, we had a bellringer that asked for our current grade and how many days we have left. I could tell that there was going to be a lecture after that, and there was. I must say it was surprising to hear that such a large proportion of the class had grades below 70%. I thought I was poorly with my grades. Anyways, overall today was a great day!
In class today we discussed more into argumentative essays. We covered crisis rhetoric. Crisis Rhetoric can be defined by: Urgency, Crisis and Reality, Dramatic Characters, Policy vs. Morality, and Rhetorically Generative. We watched and analyzed speeches to see how the forms of rhetoric are used.
Today in class we discussed a prompt. The prompt we went over dealth with college and if it is worth the cost or not. Personally, I believe it is fdefinitely worth the cost. The riskl is entirely too high for those who wish to go into life without a college degree. That much is obvious however. I'm glad he touched on which degrees are pointless and not. It would be very pointless to spend 36k on a Liberal Arts degree if you're not even going to get a job afterwards. I plan on getting a degree in either finance or mathematics which I hope can get me a job right after I'm done with college.
