Rhetorical Devices Presentation

I thought that the presentations today were very interesting for the most part, and displayed a wide variety of rhetorical devices. Two of the pictures I found the most interesting were Katie Griffin’s picture of the garden shop which had a spade as its sign and Jordan’s who had a picture of a shelf with kitchen ware on it. Katie’s was interesting because she was able to provide a personal story with it, about how it was effective because it had been able to draw her into the store and I also just found the idea of a giant spade being used as a sign entertaining. Jordan’s was interesting because no one else really used rhetorical devices that truly related to their own home. She was able to argue that the shelf was a rhetorical device because it made her family seem like the more classic family that cooks a lot and eats together, when she said the truth was the direct opposite. Both these pictures/presentations caught my attention, both due to the devices used within them and the personal stories behind them and they did a good job in presenting the pictures.
