Checkpoint: The clusters Krystin Bianchi Psy/ 230 Theories of Personality: I Think, Therefore Who I Am?

What is reading rhetorically? When you read rhetorically “you engage in this kind of reading, you look for the rhetorical strategies of the writer -- the patterns, structures, figures, & methods that a writer uses in order to make her/his point. This kind of reading can, in turn, help you to strategize your own approach to creating effective texts for particular audiences and purposes” (Malea Powell 1) Thorough out this semester we have reviewed several rhetorical readings. Although in the beginning, I never quite understood what the author was truly trying to say, but now I do. Understanding this form of reading can be very helpful in my future education.
While most writers try to use formal language to persuade their audience to adopt their opinions, Lanchester took a different approach. His use of informal language throughout the article shows that he us trying to create more of a personal relationship with the audience by speaking in more of a way they would with their friends or peers. This everyday familiarity helps his audience ease into accepting his conception of the music industry. This is evident throughout the piece, by using some off the record accounts of personal experiences such as relating to “a bobcat friend of mine practically had 2 to be hospitalized” after experiencing the free-download website Napster.

On our way to the final construction of our first paper we were given some readings; one by Gee and one by Swales. I found myself pulled towards John Swales writing, The Concept of Discourse Community. How I got my information from him is what is being asked though. I got my information through several separate ways, because I had to connect these ways to my interview and artifact to make it more meaningful. One of the ideas I thought of when I started reading was that I need to track whats going on in every paragraph.
The 1st conversation I’m going to analyse is between my Mum and me. You should be expecting the upmost respect and discipline in the conversation but I think that my Mum and me’s conversation differ, not that there’s no respect in the conversation but because I am casual around her. She calls my name for some time before calling me in her dialect, she normally uses her mother tongue when she’s annoyed or in urgency. We both use paralinguistic features because we know each other so well – who knows me better than my Mum- that we know what each other’s going to say before one even thinks about it. I show respect as whenever my Mum says something I either answer with ‘Yes Mum’
While thinking of how this outcome came about I can see it in a couple different ways, for one I think the outcome was a good one, each person got to say what they needed and were able to resolve it and both have seemed to have let it go and are not going about their own lives, but on the other hand I think this is something that could have been handled it private. This person sent in an e-mail to the anchor, not for the public eye but only for the reporter herself to see. She used her freedom of speech to go on air and send a response to him, now her pushing her freedom of speech on air now puts him in the public eye and may make him the subject of bullying, the same thing that she said in her response that she was against. So I think this could have been done in a private manner and handled between just the two of them, they could have found a way to resolve this matter without having to call the other one out in front of an entire audience of people possibly making him the subject of bullying in the future. What I think should have happened would be for her to privately E-mail him voicing her concerns with his letter to her and explaining how and why it upset her.
