Week 12 Posting Brody Carter

My understanding of the word rhetoric has to do with language. The definition I would give is the way we present our voice. I think it has to with our appearance, the way we talk, and act. If someone is dressed in a suit and tie, people are usually going to think more highly about the person when they talk. If we sound interested or give emotions to when we talk I think can also make a difference. I hear rhetoric in today’s culture when someone asks if something was a rhetorical question. I believe that it would be used as a positive statement. Some people may believe that deer hunters talk with a southern accent. I would say that this is very false, but people from the south that do hunt fit this stereotype of a deer hunter. I could use rhetoric in my mini-ethnography by having someone give their point of view on a topic of deer hunting. Also I can use rhetoric in my mini-ethnography by my position of being an insider.
