Rhetorical Analysis of “How Stupid Are You?” by KATARINA GRIFFITH https://padlet.com/kgriffith1981/j13tk6dye7hfsk4g Katie Griffith en-us 2021-03-15 16:39:37 UTC 2021-03-15 17:48:35 UTC hello@padlet.com Rhetorical Strategy~ Examples kgriffith1981 https://padlet.com/kgriffith1981/j13tk6dye7hfsk4g/wish/1311679669
Text Evidence~ "Like a bread-pudding container that says, "Product will be hot after heating." Or the iron that cautions "Do not iron clothes on body." Or a chain saw that admonishes, "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands."

The use of examples reflects how stupid and obvious these warnings can really get.

His tone is biter because he doesn't understand why obvious warnings need to be placed on almost every object.]]> 2021-03-15 16:47:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kgriffith1981/j13tk6dye7hfsk4g/wish/1311709917 Questions kgriffith1981 https://padlet.com/kgriffith1981/j13tk6dye7hfsk4g/wish/1311710412 Write two questions about the passage. These should not be “point-and-find” questions or plot-based questions--they should be open-ended, discussion-type questions that require thoughtful  analysis and reading between the lines.

1.  Why did the author purposely want to sound rude?

2. Why did the author say that people who need these "Idiot warnings" shouldn't be alive because of Charles Darwin theory of natural selection.

Explain why or why not, and support your response with text evidence from the passage.

I already agreed with the speaker, but even if I didn't already agree I would have been persuaded. They would have persuaded me because they use a lot of examples and they also appeal to logic a lot. Personally I am persuaded easily by logic. When he said this " Like a bread-pudding container that says, "Product will be hot after heating." Or the iron that cautions "Do not iron clothes on body." Or a chain saw that admonishes, "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands" it brings it more to my attention of how stupid these warnings are and how obvious it is not to do these things.
