Hello!!!!
For starters, my name is Charlotte Dash and I’m a sophomore at Longwood! I am an English major with a concentration in Rhetoric and Professional Writing.
This blog serves a purpose to study what makes rhetorical criticism, well, rhetorical criticism! By analyzing how people deliver presentations, such as works of writing, speeches, texts, etc., I will be able to observe how that specific speaker utilizes persuasion, in order to make his or her argument strong and effective.
I will be writing about topics related to my ENGL 301 course, Rhetorical Criticism, such as Neo-Aristotelian criticism, Generic criticism, Ideological criticism, metaphor criticism, and finally, Pentadic criticism!
I am in hopes that this blog will attract the audience of my peers that also pursue a passion for rhetoric and professional writing, or anyone that can use this blog as a helpful source for inspiration!
I intend to utilize the information I learn from this course into what’s going on in the world around us, especially modern day society, with a rhetorical perspective. I have only just begun on my adventure as a professional writer, and I am optimistic that as I proceed to explore the foundation of rhetoric, I will flourish into the writer I hope to be one day. Thanks for reading!
