Echoing some other posts, just wanted to put in my 2 cents about how much I enjoyed the course (despite the fact that I wasn't an active participant in the blog-- after spending some QT reading posts, I've started to wish I was)...
I've already applied what I've learned about rhetoric to many aspects of my life-- not only am I finding myself more interested in politics, I've also used rhetorical analysis' in papers for other classes (successfully and not-so-successfully... it was a hit in Holocaust, not so much in Early American Lit- go figure ;) but the point is, it's made me aware of the significance of persuasive language in society. It's everywhere, and it affects everyone. So many people don't even know what the word "rhetoric" refers to, and yet it's very much a part of our everyday lives. Scary to think about, but true...
On a lighter note! 'lil K, I just finished a rendition of the Arabia remix for the benefit of my roommate. I'm sure I didn't do it justice, but one of these nights when I finally bump into you downtown I'll make you show her yourself- haha. To the rest of you guys-- great class, good times--have a great summer! '05 grads-- good luck in the "real world" =)
