Allow Me To Re-introduce Myself

Hello World,

My name is Shaunice and I am a sophomore at Old Dominion University!! In case you are wondering about the name of my blog, "American Dreamin'", I chose this name because I feel that every human being is constantly chasing their own version of the American dream. My version of this dream is to be in the film industry! I would love to work as a film director, producer, and even an actress. I've been in involved in theatre throughout high school and in college I would like to carry that experience into the behind the scenes field! I love any form of creative expression, from poetry, to music, to art, and anything that exhibits someone's creative process! I'm very easy to get along with and I love meeting new people! Soooo, "Hi" and I look forward to getting to know you all too!

Signing off,
Shaunice :)

Neo-Aristotelian Criticism

Rhetorical Criticism Blog # 1
Neo-Aristotelian Criticism
pg. 21-60
  1. Sonja Foss, the writer of Rhetorical Criticism: Exploration and Practice, defines neo--Aristotelian criticism as "the first formal methods of rhetorical criticism developed in the communication field" which used the classical 5 canons of rhetoric (see answer to question #3) as units of analysis.
  2. The three basic steps of analyzing the artifact are:
    • "Reconstructing the context in which the artifact occurred"
    • "Applying the five canons to the artifact"
    • "Assessing the impact of the artifact on the audience"
  3. The five canons of rhetoric are:
    • "Invention": creating ideas/materials for the speech
    • "Organization": arranging those ideas in the speech
    • "Style": language used in the speech
    • "Memory": mastery and familiarity of the subject matter
    • "Delivery": vocals and gestures during the speech
