Within the short walk to my english 103 class there are examples all around of rhetoric writing. It is actually quit amazing if you never think about it being almost everywhere. From the people to the flyers stapled on every lightpost across campus, there really is it all. One example that was brought to my attention more than others was this man yesterday who was covered in tattoos and wearing a cut off muscle shirt, he was handing out these flyers and saying "Help Stop Slavery", naturally I took one of the flyers, turns out the slavery he was talking about involved animal rights in the meat packing industry, needless to say the pictures weren't very pretty but it defiantly got it's point across.
People often stroll across campus in their logo shirts from various popular stores such as American Eagle, Hollister, Bebe, and etc, all which give of rhetorical examples. Shoes, backpacks, hats. it really is everywhere, I guarantee that 80% of the people in my english 103 class have something on their person that is an example of it. After paying attention it has really come to my eye that there are so many examples of rhetorical writing out there in many forms, I just never thought about it until I was assigned in this class to pay attention and actually see what I am looking at.
