So I really wanted to do a podcast response but I just do not have all the necessary tools with me to perform this activity. However, I am going to respond the “Pirate Cast.”

Ahoy swashbucklers! I definitely enjoyed this podcast. I was well entertained and the accents seemed not only like the Pirates of the Carribean accents but the information given was there but hidden well enough to keep me interested. I felt like I was on a ship and unfortunately I was going to have to get off of that ship. The information was there with good reference to the other students in the class’ comments. It was noce to hear that they used information that other people in class had given. It also seemed like it was not forced. It seemed like they were in a real situation and having a real conversation. I liked it a while lot! I am now terrified that my podcast will not be as entertaining!

Now onto the readings….the reading were of course- readings a little long winded for my taste but very informative. The one that I paid the most attention to was the one about the North American Indian Rhetoric.  I liked this one, especially the part about the Indian named Red Jacket. Red Jacket was apparently on his game, espcially to have been illiterate. He spoke well but I never really thought a person needed to read well in order to speak well but I do know you have to be able to speak somewhat okay in order to write well (or at least be able to go back and forth). I love how rhetoric showed the him that the words the men spoke were just based off their opinions and they did not hold fast to their word.

Rhetoric not only exposes truth but it also helps expose lies!!!! GO TEAM RHETORIC
