Blog Week 7A


There are many different types of specific rhetorical tools that are important in the writing process. When a writer uses these specific important rhetorical tools in the writing process, their writings become clearer and they can make a connection with their reader. A writer can get that connection with their reader when using different types of rhetorical tools; such as the visual rhetoric tool or the descriptive tool or when using the Compare and contrast rhetoric tool.  There are many more tools that a writer can use to make their paper more understandable by a mass group, but I believe that these are the most important in the writing process.

When using the visual rhetoric tool there are powerful tools that can be used. These tools are very influential throughout the paper and should be the ones that a reader relates to the most. The most powerful tools when using the visual rhetoric tools are Narratives, propaganda, and ideologies. Narratives are used when telling a story. Everyone likes to tell a story and has a story to be told. When we tell our stories to others we are using visual rhetoric tools. Another tool is the Propaganda tool. Propagandas are used when trying to persuade the reader or audience to think a certain way. The one place that we see this a lot is the television. Commercials are famous for using this visual rhetoric tool. The last powerful tool in the visual rhetoric is Ideologies; Ideologies are a set of options or beliefs of a group or of an individual. An example of an Ideology would socialism. There are many other tools that we can use when using the visual rhetoric tool such as subjective, what you know about something, or objective, what you can see.

There are many other tools that one can use to enhance their paper. For instance one can use the descriptive rhetorical tool. The descriptive rhetorical tool is used to describe something. Or we can use the Compare and Contrast tool. When we compare something we see what makes two things the same. When we contrast, we see what makes two things different. We can compare and contrast using side by side, which is also subject by subject, or point by point. When using side by side we see the first thing as a whole and then we see the next, as a whole and then we make our decision. When we compare and contrast using point by point, we look at both arguments and look at them point by point, as we do this we see what they have the same or what they have different. All of these elements are what makes a good paper.
