Tupac Trapped in The Rhetoric of Changes

In Rhetoric, my class learned about brave people who went against the majority and spoke about what they care about. We visited Mike Pfelger for our Field Experience on the South Side of Chicago. We asked questions about how and why he challenged the status qou. An important idea that stuck with me when speaking to Mike Pfleger was that rhetoric without action is nothing, I agree with this statement because you can't make a difference without physically doing something about it. For the second action project, I had to choose a person who challenged the status qou and prove how. The purpose of this action project is to rhetorically analyze how someone challenged the status qou with a speech, a song, or video. This AP made me understand that a song can be as rhetorically effective as a speech because the artist can also convey a message with the same rhetorical techniques and devices.
