How is rhetoric in a proposal different or similar to that in a paper?

This week was a rough week for me, but that’s okay because weeks come and go, and there’s always next week. This week we also finished up our “Staging the Tempest” proposals. This assignment taught me that analyzing rhetoric, and using rhetoric to persuade an audience are different. Previously in English 1301 and 1302, we wrote essays that analyzed the use of rhetoric such as in our Hamilton essays. In comparison, this assignment encouraged us to use rhetoric to persuade our classmates to choose our staging as the winner. The two differed in the way that the staging pushed us to practice rhetorical devices, and analyzing it simply required us to identify the persuasive techniques.

This week I noticed rhetoric in my life when I did research for my staging proposal. I analyzed many advertisements for escape rooms that persuaded people to try out their escape rooms. This rhetoric then transferred over into my own paper by use of rhetorical phrases such as, “Come one, come all, test your luck and attempt to escape the island, today!”

This weekend the Coronavirus break extension was supposed to be over. The extension however was extended and is now set for a date in late May.
