Honestly I had no I dea what these words even truly ment. I thought of rhetoric as like a rhetorical question or something like that..lol and when I thought of genres, I figured it was was like different subject and stuff. But mostly, the first thing that came to my mind was music. Music is the number one thing asscociated with that word that I can think of. However, I did actually take the time to read throught the concepts and I found myself to be quite suprised with what I learned. I realized that writting is very important to the everyday person. lol I write everyday weather I like it or not. With Rhetorical situations you always want to know your audience and what point you wanna make. Who do you want to reach out to and what your audiences back round consists of. A good thing to know is what their interests are. I'm pretty sure that a group full of SOX fans wouldn't wanna hear about the sorry cubs..lol I guess that was a good example. As for genres, I never really thought that genres of writting were really broken up into Essay, e-mail, memo and speech forms. I'll try my best to use what I learned from this reading and apply it to my everyday school work...or even my career.
