Analyze and produce creative works that express the richness of the human experience
This assignment was for my Writing and Rhetoric II class. It was a rhetorical analysis of a piece of text from Sherry Turkle’s book, “The Power of Talk in a Digital Age”. Writing this essay on Sherry Turkles book, I learned how to analyze a text that is based on the 21st century, and something as relevant as technology. I have also learned how to analyze how technology influences the human experience.
This new knowledge fits in with other things I have learned as an English major because it displays a way of using rhetoric for current events and real-life issues. What I learned from this assignment is significant to me because technology and media are two interesting mediums to compare as an English major in this modern day. I find this topic important because although this book was written a few years ago, it remains relevant today. This means I am able to use this when approaching my work in the future. This new knowledge helps me to look forward to doing more analysis about current topics such as Covid-19 or politics. I look forward to what other things will become of interest in the realm of rhetoric.
