Extra Credit-Week 5

I watched two YouTube videos on rhetoric.  It was very interesting to see how rhetoric is so universally used in various media and in daily life.  I found it helpful to see examples of rhetoric in well-known films.  It put ethos, pathos, and logos in context and although I still struggle to categorize them all, it is helpful to have so many representations of rhetoric.  Furthermore, the video, "Rhetoric for Kids," was an entertaining and helpful guide to the definition and uses of rhetoric.  It is for these reasons that I recommend this activity to other students, as a helpful tool in understanding rhetoric and putting it into context, as well is for its complete and utter entertainment value.
