The authors main point was to shed light on the history of how rhetorics came to be about and how to use them in writing through examples in the comic. I see that the author shows that during the early times, people didnt really like the thought of rhetoric and didnt embrace it till Aristotle. This leads into the main point that rhetoric has been around for many centuries and has always been part of writing. Another main point that was seen in the comic was that to be effective at writing one must have three componenets. These components are ethos,pathos, and logos. I agree with this claim becuase I have written with these components last semester in my freshman english class. This can go to shows that I used these three components of writing without even knowing the name of them. This goes to show that rhetoric has been around for many generations and that we always use it involuntarly when we write. Another point made by the author is Karios. Karios is the timing of your writing. The author makes the point that we should make sure that our writing isnt rushed or else it might not come out as well as we would expect it to. I agree with this in that I have written essay the night before the due date and things recieved a decent grade. However, when you plan out your writing and organize all your ideas on paper, things become easier and the ideas flows easily on the paper and the result is better than something that was rushed. Documenting our work is also important because it allows us to get back to our work later on and make sure that we didnt miss anything if we kept on writing. This is another point that was made in the labor log. It is always a good idea to evaluate yourself and this way you can catch your mistakes faster.
