Reaction to Rhetoric Presentations

The "sharing" in class today wasn't as bad as I was expecting. My favorite picture and explanation of the argument being facilitated was probably Erin Borts and Chris Dobbs. I liked Erin's mostly because I think I fall into the trap and play into the rhetoric devices they are using at American Eagle, not so much that I will develop a relationship like the one in the photograph but because I go into the store and look for the articles of clothing in the display. Chris's was interesting because I took a similar photo that was conveying order and a physical appeal that a high authority would like the people to portray, in his example a business like attire for the basketball players, and in my case a picture of my soccer team wearing identical practice uniforms. I basically felt like I saw examples that I expected to see. The idea of wealth, artistic uniqueness, and order were all apparent and the locations where the pictures were taken didn't really surprise me either. Carmel consistently demonstarted affluence, and broadripple represented an edgy artistic side.
