Rhetorical Situation Analysis
My rhetorical situation analysis is on a personal narrative that I wrote in my English 101 class last semester called "Finding Your Comfort." My purpose of this writing was to express and explain my fears. I explained situations that had happened to me as a child like vacuuming while no one was home because I couldn't hear if someone was breaking in or hearing kidnappings on the news while my parents were watching it. These situations are what caused my fears and another influence on what I feared was the movie "Taken" which I used as a source to help explain my fears in this paper. My audience was my professor and a few classmates that had to peer review my paper. After reading and learning about audience, I think that I should have had a little more detail in this paper to help them understand my situations and why I was scared of being kidnapped. Since this paper was an assignment, the genre was required to be typed in MLA format. I cited my sources at the end of my paper because that was required as well. In this paper I don't think I expressed much of a stance and I think that it's something that I need to work on. I don't put much emotion or attitude into my writings. I wrote my paper based solely on the requirements so I didn't have much of an attitude toward my writing. My medium was print because again, that's what was required. I wrote five paragraphs about what my fears are and what situations caused them when I was younger. As far as rhetorical situation goes I think that my strong components are purpose, genre, and media. My weaker components are audience and stance.
