Transfer Blog #3

     How my class in FYS applies to the book in “Appeals to Time and Body.” As  well as Rhetorical situation.         An assignment that I had to apply appeals to time and place was about learning how people etymologically lived  in the pre mid 1790 to 1965. By using the book and the map of rhetorical situation I was able to get a visual idea  of how it all relates rhetorical situations. In 1965 their was an act that concluded immigration and naturalization around Asia. It magnified throughout the war of southeast Asia.  While on the other side of the world, cuban were going through a cold war conflicts in the 60’s and 70’s. By gathering these two settings, I found a quote from the book that reveal its similarity. The quote states “ Rhetorical has been institutionalized from the start. It is always deeply contextual in its references to people, time, place, and action. The Difference has to with the degree of change from situation to situation and the consequences need for adjustments.”  The two applies to contextual event by specific time and place. Time and place are important as it plays a role of giving out information to the audience. Without a timing, it can contradict to what you are writing, especially if it involves rhetorical events such as history. This can also relate to constraints, specifically evidence. In general when writing about rhetorical situations in most cases, you are most likely to encounter on applying evidence to back up your statement being said.               In 1790 and 1820 the United states won the war of independence. In the words of Thomas paine he says “ The asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every past of Europe”.  Reading this I can see that Paine indeed applied to ethos, Pathos and logos, but more towards ethos and pathos. Ethos is the role of the author focuses on the attractiveness of the charaher and the authority as well as the author's inspiration. Pathos in the other hand involves the audience, exclusively the emotions of the audience.  The two important key terms are Inspiration, emotions and audience. Thomas words were in fact words based on how he expresses himself by emotions towards its audience. His speech gave a candor of words that were by his experiences. Pathos and ethos are ways to see and think of as appeals. So in this case Thomas saw appeals through the war of independence.             In Conclusion, rhetorical situation can really benefit your essay. Using the right context such as exigence, audience, constraints and many others you can receive a strong writing,  It can be eye catching by the way your writing is settled.I would suggest making a map or checklist to include the body of your essay. As well as making sure everything falls in nicely  to not confuse the audience while reading.
