are you reading purposefuly or rhetorically D#7 HW#5

The only things I have read in the past few days are my english reading assignment, and my facebook page. The goal in reading my english book was to complete the assignment, my facebook was to see what my friends were up to. The goal I had for reading my english was to complete the assignment. I didn't pay attention to the rhetorical elements, i was just paying attention to the information. Understanding the rhetorical information didnt make any difference in larning the material.

  1. I like your honesty. And I agree that most of the time reading english assignments is reading purposely rather than rhetorically. I didn't have to until I was trying to differentiate between the two.

  2. I have to say that I read purposefully first because it overwhelms me to read rhetorically! I pick and choose what seems pertinent to my topic and then re-read it to read rhetorically and it makes better sense to me.
