Find an artifact on Found Magazine's website and analyze the text you've chosen using terminology from Bitzer's "The Rhetorical Situation." What are the qualities of the text? What does it show you about the context that surrounds the text? What questions are you left asking?

ReplyDeleteQualities: crazy, written on a napkin, doodles of broken hearts, has a lot of anger. The writing/doodle seems immature because of spelling and how messy it is.
- The text shows a lot of emotions like anger and sadness. It proposes the questions of who the person was and was it a break up. Also makes you wonder how old they are. Lastly it makes you wonder if they are okay.

• Rhetor is a dreaded man
ReplyDelete• Exigence is that he’s looking for a woman to be his companion
• The audience would be anyone that could help him find a woman
• The underlining and capital letters act as the utterance for persuasion
• Casual, demanding, desperate

The qualities of the text is a letter, folded and handwritten by a young child. Words are spelled wrong and you can tell that the note took a while to write by the handwriting. It is a response to Helen from Macy because the beginning of the note is answering a previous question. The context is two little girls trying to plan a sleepover. The questions left after reading the note are when and where are Macy and Helen having the sleepover?

Written on a crumpled piece of paper that was found on the floor one rainy weekend night. Laura planned out her date with Max and wrote this love note. Did this really happen?
