Rhetoric Midterm

In the text box, enter your question (label it QUESTION, in all caps) and directly beneath it your answer (ANSWER in all caps). Be sure to include your name in your post.

As a guide to the kinds of questions I'm looking for, use the 30 midterm review questions posted on the EXAMS page of the course website. As an alternative to writing out an answer, you can refer us to a particular page in one of our textbooks or a page (provide URL) on our course website. You may post as many questions and answers as you like up until the evening of the midterm exam. However, I will have finished making up the exam by Sunday night, October 21, so if you'd like to see your question considered for the exam, post it by Sunday evening. I can't promise that I'll use your question (or even a version of it), but the review should be helpful in any case. Each evening I'll check the postings on the forum and correct or delete any misinformation that I might find there. Posting questions and answers isn't a requirement, but there's not a single good reason not to post at least one Q & A.

Message:   Good Question, Jie, and your answer is accurate. On the actual exam, try to express your thoughts as concisely as you can so that you'll have enough time to respond to all the questions.

Here, for instance, after defining invented ethos and situated ethos, you might say: "Despite his efforts to project an (invented) ethos of strength, independence, and integrity ('I bend but I don't break'), Hart's appeal was undermined by a more powerful situated ethos: the newspaper image of him on a boat named 'Monkey Business' with Donna Rice sitting on his knees."
