1) Hi! My name is Amy. I am a junior here at Kutztown and I am a Secondary Education English major. My ultimate goal is to move to NYC, receive my Doctorate and teach at a University.
2) I found the Introduction to the book very interesting. I especially like one of the opening lines that the author is not going to give readers a clear definition of what Rhetoric is, but rather, allow readers to come to their own conclusion of its definition through the reading. After reading the introduction I was made more aware that rhetoric is used everywhere and by everyone. Each person uses different ways of persuasion. The annoying telemarketers that call during dinner time are using rhetoric in order to make money, while others use it to sway a persons decision, opinion, or in order to receive something. I also found fascinating the idea that total truth's cannot always be reached. We live in a world full of contrasting ideas, therefore rhetoric will always be used.
