When I first saw the word “Rhetoric” my first thought saw “question.” And to be honest that kinda what I thought the section would be about, using rhetorical questions in essays and speeches. I didn't think that it would be an in depth lessen in to the writing processes. Through this reading I found that rhetoric is not a one aspect thing, it has facets and each and every one is deep.
Genres, something I though applied to book, music, and movie, not writing. I never thought of a speech or a lessen as a genre, I just thought they all fell under the genre of writing not under separate ones. I know all about reading genres and a lot about music genres but very little, apparently about writing genres.
I don't really know what I am going to incorporate in to my writing, my mind works slowly and I need time...a lot of time, to figure these thing out. By next I will have probably figured it out but as for now....it's something I will have to tell you later. These concepts were both easy and hard. The concept of writing genres was easy for me, I am a writer and learning more about the different types of writings just comes easy. But rhetoric, as said before I think “question” when I hear it. It will be hard to train my mind to think of rhetoric in a writing sense. As for the sections them selves, I found them boring, hard to read and slightly informative. Boring because I like read fantasy and fiction, not people telling me how to do thing and whats right and wrong. It hard because it was a lot of complicated sentence structures and even thought the big words were few I still felt swamped by them. The only reason I can come up with as to why I found this to only slightly informative is because I am an interactive learner. I can't just read a book and learn things. I need to have someone explain things to me or show me how it works.
