The Fault in The Presidental Cabinet

This unit in Argument, we learned about making a synthesis. A synthesis is a conclusion that resolves 2 opposing parties by finding a middle ground between their argument. For the final Ap in this unit, I had to chose a role in the Presidential Cabinet and appoint a person that would better fit that role. This AP was fun and only took a few days to finish considering the amount of days left in the term. I am most proud of completing it within those days. Below is my final AP, enjoy!

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.
