Ch. 7: Ideographs
Words and phrases can have deeper meanings. These are known as ideographs. Ideographs have a strong cultural background, creating influences. Chapter 7 uses examples like "liberty" and "religion" as ideographs. These words have a deeper meaning, and reflect a person's perception of the word based on their culture and environment. Ideographs are also frequently used in politics. Ideographs can represent meaningful interpretations, but can also be misused to attract a particular audience.

My best friend came over and on top of a delicious dinner we decided to bake a cake. This was my first time layering a cake so I was pretty excited about it :) I made a chocolate cake with cream cheese-peanutbutter filling, topped with chocolate ganache and reese peanutbutter cups. It was devoured :D
Chocolate, a guilty pleasure.

Ch. 6: Guilt
In Chapter 6, Burke discusses the idea of negative symbols. More specifically, the topic of guilt is brought about. The origin of guilt came from the formation of morals, or better yet the lack of. Categorical guilt can be felt when the society feels guilt from the action of one person. We invented guilt, and it has invented us.

Flag, Jasper Johns, 1954
The American Flag is a symbol that can be interpreted in many ways.

CH5: Symbols
Symbols can have different meanings. These meaning can be interpreted differently due to the audience. In chapter 5, Mead refers to the "mind" as our development in the understanding of symbols. He states that we are not born knowing the meaning, but instead learn the meaning. This is completely true. A symbol can have different meanings for different people. The upbringing, views, and beliefs help form certain ideologies of a specific symbol.

Chapter 4:
The type of audience can determine the type of rhetoric.

Ch. 4: Persuasion vs. Convincing
In chapter 4, Perelman compares the ideas of persuasion and convincing. What it comes down to is the audience. When someone is using persuasion, they are presenting to a particular audience. When someone is convincing, they are presenting to an universal audience. It is interesting to compare the two differences. These two types of argumentation are important factors when facing certain audiences.

Volkswagen Game Day 2013 Commercial | Get In. Get Happy. (by Volkswagen)
The Superbowl commercial is a good example of delivery.

Steven H: The Delivery (Ch3)
Tonight was the Superbowl. The Ravens Won! It was a great game, with awesome commercials. As I saw the commercials, I realized that these advertisers spend a lot in money to be able to deliver us a message. Whether it be a product unveiling or an idea reinforcement, these messages are carefully scripted to be delivered to us properly.
Chapter 3 reinforces the idea of delivery through different aspects in history. This includes examples like St. Augustine and Christianity. St. Augustine used the five canons of rhetoric within his delivery.

Is Manipulation a form of Rhetoric?
This post is sort of a test, as I still try to get adjusted to tumblr, but hopefully I get the hang of it. I wonder if manipulation can be an aspect of rhetoric. Rhetoric is the art of persuasion, but if used effectively, it can also be seen as manipulation. This is because, as one becomes persuaded, they are being altered through their mindset. I feel this idea can go into really murky waters. Therefore, I am not going to try to break it down too much, but as a whole, I do feel like rhetoric, if used in a specific sense, can be a form of manipulation.

reality
our lives are filled with aspects,
aspects and concerns that influence us.
whether it is for the best,
we do not know,
but that gut feeling we get,
that intuition we feel,
we follow it,
and by doing so,
we take a risk.
Sometimes these risks are worthy,
other times they are not,
but in those few instances where
the risk overcomes reality,
we begin to see that this puzzle called life
really isn't so simple,
nor is it so confusing.
It is simply a piece of us,
our lives,
our reality...

the busy days, like today, go by so fast, but it is important to stop for a second and realize how blessed we are.
Monday
Monday, Monday, Monday, you always seem to creep up on me. The day I sleep in until noon, but have class until 10pm. The day I am trying to finish my Chemistry Lab report in 15 minutes, because I was too lazy to do it over the weekend. Monday, you are boring and evening annoying, but you are another day of life. A day for which I am truly grateful for. So Monday, thank you for this day.
