Reading of the two websites I learned a lot more about the rhetoric situation from these articles than from the essay because the artlicles are written to be a lot more appealing and are easier to be read. From the website I learned there are 4 key components of the rhetoric situation. The components are an author, an audience, a text of some sort, and a context. The author is anyone who can use communication, meaning I could be the author of a rhetoric situation. The audience is anyone who cares, or more importantly can do something about the problem at hand. The text of some sort I can imagine can be as speech as well as an essay, and the context that is being used is necessary for completion of the rhetoric situation. In all the purpose of the rhetoric situation is how a work of writing expresses its meanings.

Personally I'm not sure if I will ever be using the a rhetorical situation. If I ever say a rhetorical situation I'm pretty sure it would be an accident, and this is because English is not really where my intrest lies. I enjoy reading a lot, as well as creative writing but all of the "English" stuff that falls in between, such as this, really just goes over my head because it does not affect my every day life. I value reading a lot though, especially literature. Or even broader than literature, any book one "gets something out of it". I read a lot of books that may not be literature persay, but I get a lot out of the book, and I walk away pondering life. My English class last year read 1984 and Brave New World (just to name a few) and those books really open up one to thought over how much power a government should have and if a utopia is really possible.
