Blog Post #1: Hello world!

Welcome to Rhetorical Criticisms of Pop Culture! I am Glenn Spencer a senior English major at Longwood University with a minor in Rhetoric and Professional Writing. This blog will be using various rhetorical and analytical lenses to deconstruct and critique various types of media that fall into the realm of pop culture with an emphasis on multimodal media. Many of the pop culture artifacts that this blog will discuss shall be curtailed to my individual interests with the occasional foray into subjects that fall outside my particular scope but will be interesting nevertheless. Individuals who are also in the rhetoric field might find this blog interesting in a broad sense and maybe if a post hits upon a specific topic of interest then the audience could be expanded.  This blog is made for Engl 301-01 but the framework of its content might also provide a platform for continued work outside the class.
