I thought people were very creative with their examples of rhetoric. The class covered a variety of different subjects. The subjects went from politics, to stores, to magazines.
One of Kendal’s examples of rhetoric was of Victoria’s Secret. The picture was of the entrance to Victoria’s Secret in Clay Terrace. It showed the outside display section of lingerie and the font in the window said, “What is Sexy”. This means that people define sexy as people who wear the underwear, bras, and products from Victoria’s Secret. This makes people want to go buy products from the store so they can feel like they are attractive. Also, since the front display of lingerie is risqué, it attracts attention to the store. This is why I think they put the display in the front window.
Some people brought up how this display case should not be there since it is suggestive and many young children walk by the store daily. I somewhat agree with this. Sometimes, it seems the mannequins are doing very suggestive poses in their “sexy” lingerie that would barely cover anything on a real person. I think these mannequins should not be in the front window case.
It should be interesting to see what other examples of rhetoric the class has found tomorrow in class.
