    1. The ultimate goal of rhetorical analysis is to show one's understanding of how a piece communicates its messages and meanings.
    2. Justifying the text of a document is using standard margins. This is an example of visual rhetoric because it is using the visual aspect of the paragraph in cohesion with rhetorical technique to communicate visually to the reader.
    3. A rhetorical situation is when an author, an audience, and a context combine and a persuasive message is communicated through a medium.
    4. A "target audience' is a specific group of people who may or may not be persuaded by a specific medium.
    5. The four categories of visual rhetoric purposes are informational, inspirational, motivational, and functional.
    6. Rhetorical context is the circumstances of the environment where a piece of communication takes place.
    7. The "spatial ordering" organizational strategy covers the parts of a document in the order the eye is likely to scan them. This includes that left to right and top to down is still the normal reading and scanning pattern for English-speaking countries,the eye naturally looks for centers (this may be the center of the page or the center of the largest item on the page), lines are commonly used to provide directions for the eye to follow, and the eye tends to linger in the top left quadrant before moving left to right.
    8. Analyzing visual rhetoric is different from analyzing regular rhetoric because it emphasizes images as sensory emotions of cultural significance, compared to purely aesthetic contemplation.

    1. demonstrate understanding of meaning and purpose of a piece

    4. a specific group of people a document is intended to reach
    5. informational.inspirational, motivational, and functional
    6. the circumstances in which the document is written
    7. it goes in the direction of the eye, not just in chronological, it can start toward the center or just where the eye is drawn to first
    8. its different because it relies on different variables and also uses a different amount of rhetorical devices because it can use both words and pictures. it also can be more straightforward but taken in different ways.

    1.) It is meant to show that students understand how the piece communicates message and meaning.
    2.) Understanding how different parts of the literature work, and finding insights to agree with and possibly be able to argue. Book report, poetry analysis.
    3.) When an audience and author come together to discuss the message communicated in the novel and come to a general conclusion.
    4.) A group of people who may or may not be persuade by the document or piece of literature.
    5.) Inspirational, motivational, functional, and informational.
    6.) The environment where a piece of communication takes place.
    7.) Places parts of the document in view to where the eyes will see them first, to show the important items are viewed first.
    8.) Through visual rhetoric you are given examples and items that are entertaining to the eye therefore making the article easier to comprehend and understand especially if you are a hands-on learner. With regular rhetoric you receive the piece cold and have a harder time understanding the purposes and the pieces the author wants you to take notice.

    1. The ultimate goal of rhetorical analysis is to demonstrate your understanding of how the piece communicates its messages and meanings.
    2. The purpose of justifying your text is to persuade the audience to feel and think the point one is trying to make. This is an example of visual rhetoric because it allows the audience to visualize the point with the examples provided which can help to persuade them.
    3. A rhetorical situation the author, audience, and context come together and a persuasive message is achieved through some medium.
    4. A target audience is when there are physical elements in a work that provides clues for who the designer/author intends to see them.
    5. The four categories of visual rhetoric purpose is informational, inspirational, motivational, and functional.
    6. Rhetorical context refers to the circumstances of the environment where a piece of communication takes place.
    7. Spatial ordering organizes the paper for eyes that scan the page. It is not like chronological order. This type of organization provides lines that the eye can follow and sometimes the eye is directed towards the center.
    8. Analyzing visual rhetoric is different by persuading the audience with their eyes instead of with words. Also, when analyzing visual rhetoric one must pull examples to help the audience visualize to persuade them. Visual Rhetoric is also different because things must be put into perspective and have a focal point.

    1.The goal of rhetorical analysis is toto demonstrate your understanding of how the piece communicates its messages and meanings.
    2.Justifying the text of your document is basically the commentary or explanation as to why something was said or used. The is an example because in everyday life you view something that communicates knowledge.
    3.Rhetorical situation is when the author, the audience, and the context come together to form some type of message.
    4.A "target audience" is who is mostly to understand and relate to the document.
    5.The four categories purposes are imformational (documents that seek to educate, inspirational (documents that inspire emotion or feeling), motivational (documents that spur attendance or participation), and functional (documents that help to accomplish a task).
    6.Rhetorical context is the circumstances of the environment where a piece of communication takes place.
    7.Spatial ordering are the parts of the document in the order that the eye may see them. English speaking countries normally read from left to right and top to bottom. They eye will look for centers. Lines are used to provide direction for the eye.
    8.Analyzing visual rhetoric is different due to the fact that it could be text or no text with a image. The image is also playing a part in the document. You have to pull the document apart piece by piece to understand the full meaning.

    1. The ultimate goal of rhetorical analysis is to demonstrate your understanding of how the piece communicates the message and meaning.

    2. Visual rhetoric justifies the text of your document by the techniques involved in visual communication and by knowing the knowledge of the communication and looking at the document trying to find the perspective.

    3. Rhetorical situation is when an author, an audience, and a context come together and a persuasive message is communicated through the document under the question.

    4. Target audience is the people the designer of something that think would most like to see their product.

    5.The four categories of visual rhetoric purposes are informational which are documents that seeks to impart information or educate the audience; inspirational which are documents that primarily inspire emotion or feeling often without clearly predetermined goals or purposes; motivational which are documents that spur direct action, attendance, or participation; functional which are documents that aid in accomplishing tasks.

    6.Rhetorical context is the circumstances of the environment where a piece of communication takes place.

    7.Spatial ordering covers the parts of document in the orders the eye is likely to scan them. Left to right and top to bottom are normal reading skills but the eye will most likely go to the center of whatever is on the page. Lines are provided to help with direction and path the eye should go. There are not any specific guidelines.

    8.Visual rhetoric is different from analyzing regular rhetorical because you look for persuasive and visual communication using devices to find the message and meaning of the document and also using images while in regular rhetoric you are looking for devices that tell you the purposes, the message, the meaning of the passage and can be persuasive using pathos, logos,and ethos.

    1.) The goal of rhetorical analysis is to show an understanding of a piece's meaning.
    2.) Justification of a paper is where the margins of the paper are; it's an example of visual rhetoric in that it can give the reader a sense of the paper's organization.
    3.) A rhetorical situation is when an author, audience and context come together.
    4.) A target audience is the group of people who can possibly be persuaded or dissuaded.
    5.) The four categories of visual rhetoric purposes are informational, inspirational, motivational, and functional documents.
    6.) Rhetorical context is the environment of which a specific piece takes place.
    7.) The "spatial ordering" organizational strategy is a strategy used to set up a written speech in an order to which the eye will look over and remember it better.
    8.) Visual rhetoric seems to set everything up in a way that is appealing to the eye but with a deep and underlying meaning that can easily be brought out by further analysis while "regular rhetoric" is set up in a similar, textual way.

    1. The ultimate goal is to pick apart the rhetorical strategies exposed in a piece and explain how they accomplish the author's purpose.
    2. Justifying the document is like setting the margins and this is visual rhetoric because you are constricting the area in which your message is displayed, so there is more focus on it.
    3. A rhetorical situation is the context surrounding the document culminating with the message the author is trying to convey to his/her audience.
    4. A target audience is a smaller, more specific audience that the author is trying to reach.
    5. The four categories are: informational, inspirational, motivational, and functional.
    6. Rhetorical context is the situation/circumstances or the overall environment that surrounds the work.
    7. Spatial oredering is when you organize your essay by what you see first in the image. Your essay follows the order in which you see different parts of the image.
    8. Obviously, seeing an image is different from reading a letter or a speech or whatnot. Images put emphasis on things and ideas with juxtaposition of colors and vibrance instead of words like in regular rhetoric. Also, messages in visual rhetoric tend to be more obvious than the subtle messages in typical rhetoric.

    1.The ultimate goal is to demonstrate how work communicates with messages and meanings.
    2.Justifying the text is putting the words in a specific pattern or position on the page. This is an example of visual rhetoric, because it helps draw the attention of the reader.
    3. A rhetorical situation is when the author, audience and context come together and a persuasive message is created.
    4.who the author intends to be writing to
    5.brochures, photography, advertisements, and maps
    6. circumstances of environment where a piece of communication takes place
    7. Spatial ordering is not having a specific sequences of events, but diffferent thing so that while scan reading one is still able to pick up on some information. usually towards the center.
    8. Visual rhetoric is the position of words and their placement on a piece of work. Regular rhetoric is sentence structure and word patterns used to emphasize a point.

    2) Showing how it relates to the rest of the piece. You are not looking at the techniques any more.
    3) A medium where the author, audience, and context together create a persuasive message.
    4) The specific group that the piece is trying to appeal to.
    5) informational, inspirational,motivational, and functional documents.
    6) THe circumstances of an enviornment in which the piece is being communicated.
    7) It is organized in order or where the eye scans them.
    8) It is based around images and what draws your eyes to communicate to its audience instead of using words to persuade you.

    To demonstrate your understanding of how the piece communicates its meanings and messages.
    The way you set up your paper and if the words are all the way to the left, right, or in the middle. This is an example of visual rhetoric because it is how the paper is presented and how the reader sees it.
    A rhetorical situation occurs when an author, an audience, and a context come together and a persuasive message is communicated through some medium.
    The audience is the group of people reading or viewing who might or might not be persuaded by the document.
    The four categories are informational, inspirational, motivational, and functional.
    This refers to the circumstances of the environment where a piece of communication takes place.
    When analyzing a document the eye tends to stay at the top left for a while and also reads left to right and top to bottom. People also tend to look for the center of the document whether it is the actual center or the item serving as the center.
    Analyzing visual rhetoric is much different than verbal rhetoric because it is not the arrangement of words. Visual rhetoric varies greatly based on the author and how they arrange the pictures. There are also no set rules on how to analyze visual rhetoric and its all up to the person analyzing based on the layout of the images.

    1. to demonstrate one's understanding of how the piece communicates its messages and meanings,
    2. The image (visual communication?) is justifying the text of the document. It's an example because one has to analyze a picture in order to understand what it means
    3. When an author, an audience, and a context come together and a persuasive message is communicated through some medium
    4. The audience targeted by the person who created the piece
    5. Informational, inspirational, motivational, and functional
    6. Circumstances of the environment where a piece of communication takes place
    7. It covers the parts of a document in the order the eye is likely to scan them (different from chronological order)
    8. Analyzing visual rhetoric is different that analyzing regular rhetoric because in visual rhetoric, stuff isn't done in chronological order and people interpret pictures differently based on things such as past life experiences.

    1. The ultimate goal of rhetorical analysis is to show that you understand what the piece's point is
    2. Justifying the text of your document is aligning your text. This draws your eyes more into the text.
    3. A rhetorical situation is when everything comes together and creates a persuasive message.

    7. Spatial ordering is where you control what the viewer is going to look at first. Usually by putting it where there eyes will scan and then go on to the next image.
    8. In visual rhetoric your eyes are showing you what you need to look at. You are analyzing what your eyes are drawn to first and then going from there. Whereas, in regular rhetoric you have to read and find certain appeals and quotes to understand their purpose and put it together. Your eyes have to follow a specific "route" and in visual you can base it off where your eyes scan and where everything is placed.

    1. The ultimate goal of rhetorical analysis is to discover the meaning behind a piece.

    1) It is your understanding of how the piece communicates its messages and meanings.
    2) When you justify your text you are doing visual rhetoric. Using standard margins is a a example of visual rhetoric.

    4) Is a physical placement may provide clues for who the designer would most like to see.
    5) Inspirational, motivational, funtional, imformational.
    6)Tthe circumstances surrounding any writing situation and includes purpose, audience, and focus.
    7) Is where the will most likely to scan. The will naturally go to the center, going left to right and up and down to scan a passage. The tends to linger in the top left quadrant of a website page.
    8) Visual is what the eye comes in contact with first and what draws attention whereas regular is something that doesn't draw as much as attention. For example, a page full of words would be regular rhetoric and a page with words and a picture would visual.

    8. Regular Rhetoric analysis is different because we were looking for the different types of ways the authors were describing things and gibing the readers different ways of understanding how the piece communicates our message and meaning. Visual rhetoric analysis targets different sets of audiences and uses spatial ordering and also uses rhetorical context. Visual rhetorical analysis also uses the four categories :Inspirational, Motivational, Functional, and Informational as purposes in their writings.

    1.) To convey or understand what the author is trying to evoke or make you feel.
    2.) Trying to make sense of how long or how much you'll have to read based on how big the text is. It's an example because of how you view the text and your purpose of viewing it. You view it to gain a comprehension of how much or how long you'll have to read.
    3.) A situation in which an author tries to evoke a feeling or emotion in an audience using rhetorical devices or an appeal.
    4.) A specific group of people the author is trying to experience that emotion or feeling.
    5.) Informational, Inspirational, Motivational, and Functional.
    6.) The circumstances of an environment where a communication between author and audience is attempting to take place.
    7.) Placing things in an arrangement in an image that makes the audiences eyes flow. Ordering certain excerpts of the image that make a path of concentration the audience may or may not follow.
    8.) Visual rhetoric is different and yet similar to regular rhetoric. You may not have text in visual rhetoric but you do have enough information to conceive your own opinion or thoughts on the image. Images require deeper thought process. & more opinion variation may occur. Though they are different they are both similar in the way that they can be used by authors to evoke an emotion or feeling in their audience by using rhetoric.

    1. The goal of any rhetorical analysis is to demonstrate your understanding of how the piece communicates its messages and meanings.
    2. We now live in such a visually-dominated culture, that it is possible you have already internalized many of the techniques involved with visual communication (for example, every time you justify the text of your document or use standard margins, you are technically using visual rhetoric).
    3.A rhetorical situation occurs when an author, an audience, and a context come together and a persuasive message is communicated through some medium.
    4. A pamphlet or flyer may also technically have an audience of anyone who finds it; however, their physical placements may provide clues for who the designer would most like to see them.
    5. •Different audiences have different taste for certain visual styles. For example, the quick cuts and extreme angles of many programs on MTV are often associated with the tastes and tolerance of a younger audience.
    •People have drastically different reading speeds. In slide shows or videos with text, look for accommodations made for these differences.
    • Whether by using controversial or disturbing imagery, sometimes documents purposefully seek to alienate or offend certain audience groups while piquing the curiosity of others. Do you see evidence of this and why?
    •Does the document ask for or require any background familiarity with its subject matter or is it referencing a popular, visual style that certain audiences are more likely to recognize?
    6.Context refers to the circumstances of the environment where a piece of communication takes place.
    7.A spatial ordering covers the parts of a document in the order the eye is likely to scan them.
    8. Because people might have an easier time understanding visual context rather than words.

    1. The ultimate goal of rhetorical analysis is to demonstrate your understanding of how the piece communicates its messages and meanings.
    2. Justifying the text of your document is when you arrange the words to be right, left or centered. This is an example of visual rhetoric because it can convey the reader that it is either professional or sloppy.
    3. Rhetorical situation is when an author, audience, and context come together and a persuasive message is communicated.
    4. A "target audience" is an audience that is a target by their physical placement or by anyone that is qualified for a specific duty or job.
    5. The four categories of visual rhetoric purposes are: (1) Brochures, Phamplets, and PowerPoint Presentations, (2) Photography, Paintings, and Graffiti, (3) Advertisements, Flyers, Proposals, (4) Instruction Sets, Forms, Applications, and Maps
    6. Rhetorical context is the circumstances of the environment where a piece of communication takes place. At times the author has control of this.
    7. The spatial ordering covers the parts of a document in the order the eye is likely to scan. This concerns order among a single page or plane.
    8. Visual rhetoric is what you see or observe. This is different from regular rhetoric because what you see and comprehend will more than likely be different from others. Regular rhetoric is basically just reading something and gathering information. While visual rhetoric is so broad and has somewhat no limit.

    6. "spatial ordering"- covers the parts of a document in the order the eye is likely to scan them.
    7. Visual rhetoric is more complex than regular rhetoric. The author has to think about where to place certain things in order for the person to understand why it's there and what it means. Regular rhetoric is words and is more obvious to see.

  49. 1.The goal of rhetorical analysis is to show your understanding of how the piece given to you communicates its message.
    2. Justified text stretches the margins of your typed response to make both of its edges straight. It helps your text look more organized and lets the reader think you have a more organized paper.
    3. When an author, audience, and context come together and a persuasive message is somehow communicated to the target audience.
