Blog week 7

     Subject specific rhetorical tools are very important. These are what draw the audience in and help them to connect and understand the message that the author is trying to tell. Without these tools the message could be unclear to the audience, and hold no meaning for them. It would not be able to draw them in and keep their interest. Writing would be meaningless if it didn't in some way have meaning for the audience.
     Some of the tools that we have learned about recently include the following:
          1. Analogies. This is where you take something that is familiar to describe something that is unfamiliar.   This gives the audience something to compare the unfamiliar thing to. This can help them make sense of something less understood.
          2. Using objective explanations. This is not bias, it expands only on what the audience can already see.
          3. Subjective views. These explanations are telling about something that only you know. Sometimes this needs more description because they do not have the knowledge about the subject that you have.
          4. Familial gaze. This tool creates a feeling. It reminds us of something intimate and personal to us.
          5. Consumer gaze. This is used to make someone want to buy something. To make the audience think that what they are seeing is something that they need to have.
