Legitimate Sources
A legitimate source comes from an author, website, organization, etc. that is credible. This means that if you are using a source whose author has no prior experience or knowledge on a subject, then that source probably isn’t the best one to use. Consequently, the source should come from someone who has first-hand experience on a subject or situation. Make sure that the information from a...
Kairos
Kairos is the being able to establish the right time to do or say something. In today’s rapidly-changing society, there are many new advances; texting, facebook, webcams. When is it appropriate to use LOL- and when does the use of this abbreviation become a nuisance? Using this in a formal paper because it would seem ridiculously out of place, taking away from the credibilty of the writer....

Rhetoric Surrounds Response
sjshamp: LOGOS
The wrapper of Newman’s Own Organics: Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. “Made with Organic Chocolate and Organic Peanut Butter”
- By stating that this food is organic, the producer’s attract the attention of buyers because many people are looking to eat healthier foods. Eating organic peanut butter cups is better than eating a treat that is very similar-but made with...

Thoughts on thinking rhetorically
“From the idea of rhetoric as energy, Kennedy goes on to propose that rhetoric is prior to speech: both in the sense that rhetorical energy “has to exist in the speaker before speech can take place,” and in a historical-biological sense.”
~ George Kennedy
This statement helped me to fully comprehend what rhetoric is. We must ‘think before we speak.’ This applies to the old cliché...

Rhetoric Surrounds Me
Children are screaming downstairs- for more music? I’m not sure.
There’s an anatomy book lying on the floor to my left, there to remind me of the impending assignments that I have not completed.
The TV is running, and the commercial for the “nation’s number one phone service, Verizon” is on.
Empty Starbucks coffee cup sitting on my desk.
Behind me is my Ab Lounge machine, reminding me of my...

The Artwork of Dan McCarthy
1 of 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Through the use of contrast, the artist is able to provide two different portrayals of the same image. His use of logos leads the audience to understand the thoughts he is trying to convey. At first glance, the image seems to indicate a sense of accomplishment; of being ‘on top of the world’ because the man is standing at the top of a mountain, with...

My name is Kristen!
I grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and loved every minute of it. Although I miss it every day, I absolutely love my new home in Tampa. I moved here a year ago for school and it was easily one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself.
I am the baby of my family and I love it. My sister, Jessica, is an elementary teacher and just recently got married to my...
About ME!!!
Hello…My name is Nadeen. I was born in Brooklyn, New York-but I have been living in Florida for almost ten years. I live in this little town called Land O’ Lakes(yeah, kind of like the butter-only it’s not made here). I am a very sarcastic person, and I have perfected it to the point where no one can tell whether I am serious or not. One of my favorite things to do is sing. There...
How much info can we really rely on from...
Wikipedia. The online encyclopedia that you can’t help but visit.
In recent years, Wikipedia has become one of the least reliable sources of information. This is mostly due to the fact that it has been incredibly simple to edit an article on the website. From middle school teachers to college professors, we have been told to steer clear of using the website, especially for research. But,...
