After two weeks of studying rhetorical devices, types of rhetoric, and methods for identifying rhetorical techniques, which rhetorical device do you find most effective or compelling, and why?

Prompt: After two weeks of studying rhetorical devices, types of rhetoric, and methods for identifying rhetorical techniques, which rhetorical device do you find most effective or compelling, and why?

Response: I think that pathos is the most effective rhetorical device. Appealing to someone's emotions can persuade or change how they think easily, regardless if it's logical or not. Emotional factors play a big part in what someone thinks. You can also use a lot of techniques to make a pathos appeal. It also gives the audience a connection with the speaker. 


Summary: In class we took the post test.


Reflection: I reflected on what rhetorical device I use the most.

Baked mac n cheese is one of my favorite dishes so I wanted to include that into the dinner. I was very proud with how it turned out and I even used sourdough bread as the breading on top. That dish was the most memorable thing because it was really good and it's a recipe that I'll make again. My family liked it as well.
