Classification and Division

In every good essay, or piece of writing the writer uses Classification and Division to map out, and flow the conversation of the writing. In our last "In Class Writing" assignment we were basically given the task to dissect the article we were given. We classified what we thought were to be the main topics, and then we broke them down so that we could recognize the sub-topics, or the elements that made up the classifications.

When we incorperate Classification and Division into our writing pieces we will use the same process from the "In Class Writing" when we write. First we will have an introduction that will set up the direction of the conversation. Second we will use definitions so that we can relate to our audience. The definition of a word can be very malleable or changeable between people. People interpret words differently which is why it is important to explain, and define the message that we are trying to convey to the reader. Third we discuss the issues  to the topic we are talking about. This is the meat, or the body to an essay, we discuss what is important and how it relates the main classification. Finally we have the conclusion where we bring everything back together and discuss the what we were trying to convey to the reader and what we had hoped to get across to to the reader.

Subject specific rhetorical terms

Subject specific rhetoric tools are essential to help us get a certain messages across. Every good writer has a motive, which is to keep the audience en-captured within their words.The only way to do this is through vivid visualization. The reader only has a short attention span, and likely they will not want to read a long dialog, the reader would mostly prefer stories with pictures or "pop ups" to keep them occupied. It is important that when an author writes without any pictures being involved, that the writer create and incorporate a detailed picture through words. This keeps the brain active while the reader still pays attention to detail and the story. The use of pictures play a heavy influence upon our lives, and that is why it is important to analyze the message that is being sent so that we do not fall to the worlds flowery words of propaganda.  Stores and the United States realize that the use of pictures plays into a big part of our lives, and that is why they rely heavily on these mixed message posters and propaganda to get the public to do as the advertisement says. We can avoid falling for propaganda by  learning the visual rhetoric tools. 

Here are the subject specific rhetorical terms:
