Rhetorical Analysis

Using Rhetorical analysis to analyze different types of media definitely allows you to gain a deeper understanding of what is being displayed. Rhetorical analysis gives you the oppurtunity to break down the media and divide the different aspects into smaller bits to see the main point. When using Rhetorical analysis for media, you must use different senses to develop your understanding. When it comes to music, you really must listen and pay attention to lyrics to be able to grasp what is being said. On the other hand when it comes to videos, you must watch for certain key points. You must analyze the little deatils. It is easier to analyze using media because there are more descriptive details to give you more resources to base your understanding off of. We can learn that rhetorical analysis allows you to dig deeper into the source.

  1. I like what you say about listening and paying attention to the lyrics in a song because music is oftentimes both written and heard. It's important to pay attention to both aspects of music when analyzing it.
