The one time I felt I rhetorically analyzed a lot is when I first came to ISU, it was just like the first day of school in kindgarten. What I mean by that is, you don’t a soul on campus and you want to find some friends so you’re not alone. So I went on the journey in my dorm to find and meet new people!

            My next door neighbors had accents like they were from Chicago so that made my head jump to all sorts of conclusions, from what their personalities were to what kind of food they ate. I tend to rhetorically analyze more than I notice when I first meet people the more I think about it. My friend Aaron, who was one of the neighbors I mentioned before, at the dorm was very quiet and withdrawn at first, so I deduced that he was shy and scared of change. But the more and more I got to know him I found out that he was very open to change and that he liked to have fun, he just didn’t like bad first impressions.

            The next person I met was Austin, he was a tall, blonde, and friendly guy, so I figured by his body language that he was either popular in school because he was very open and knew how to communicate with new people or, that he was just one of those annoying people who didn’t talk. After talking to him for a while, I found out that he thought the same about me, and actually he was the same as me. He was very open and talked a lot because he played sports, and in sports you have to be open and communicate with your teammates, otherwise it doesn’t work out.

            So that’s how I found out I rhetorically analyze more than I thought. And it is a skill I think I am very good at using. I’ve always used it when I read books and talk to people, because I always want to go that extra mile to find out what actually is going through that persons head!

P.S. Sorry it was late, Freddy Court internet is in the works of upgrading that internet.
