 I very much enjoy how Janet uses the 5 questions to challenge and build the rhetoric of the any essay. It is a convincing starting point and helps the writer look at the topic from beginning to completion. I found her work to be very convincing and most useful. I found this statement from Janet very useful. "Here I offer my definition: rhetoric is what allows you to write (and speak) appropriately for a given situation, one that is determined by the expectations of your audience, implied or acknowledged," this helps me understand how to best reach my audience intended or otherwise.

    Clint, I also found her work convincing and useful. The quote you gave as an example explains excellently the best way to reach your intended audience. Part of the reason you write is to capture your audiences attention and keep it.

The aviation industry continues to push the boundaries of technology and human ingenuity. Each flight, each journey, is a testament to the power of human ambition. My experience is aviation will consume your attention and fill your ambition. Each flight, each landing, is special are the testament of teamwork at the the highest level.

Post 4: Rhetoric about Rhetorical

 Laura Bolin Carroll says it like this, "The more we know about how to analyze situations and draw informed conclusions, the better we can become about making savvy judgments about the people, situations and media we encounter." (Carroll, 45) Imagine working as a professional where people rely upon you to do your job so well that they trust and count upon you for the most precious times of life. The birth of a child, attending a graduation or wedding, taking a long time planned vacation or saving the life of someone special, aviation does all these. It is a relatively small amount of professional who devote their careers to this amazing industry.  So many options for such a small community of professionals, line service, flight attendant, dispatcher, gate agent, operations manager, engineer, designer, pilot and mechanic, all work like a well oiled machine to make the everyday flight have exceptional results.  What started as a hobby is now a very rewarding career.  H...
