The text Backpacks vs. Briefcases discusses the importance of rhetorical analysis and explains how rhetoric is utilized to make informed decisions and conclusions in everyday occurrences. The text also states where rhetoric can be found and how to discern the different aspects of rhetoric. Carroll writes “If we refuse to stop and think about how and why it persuades us, we can become mindless consumers ho buy into arguments.”

Laura Bolin Carroll talks about how rhetorical analysis is used to assist in understanding and persuading the purpose and intent behind some situations encountered every day. She then starts to talk about how everything around us influences us and our choices and we are amazed by that. Then, through our observations and past experiences, we are usually able to come to a conclusion pretty quickly with regard to the person or thing we are analyzing. She calls this process rhetorical analysis.
Rhetorical analysis is from the paper the ability to evaluate the way language and images are used to persuade and influence our daily choices. She says that there are three factors, there are three factors one should consider: exigence, audience, and constraints. The paper then describes what those things are and basically, she wants the reader to understand what the source essentially wants you to believe or do what they want and try to persuade you to thatÂ
Laura Carroll’s “Backpacks vs. Briefcases: Steps toward Rhetorical Analysis” examines what rhetorical analysis is and how it is useful. Rhetorical analysis is trying to make think a certain way. She says about how quickly look over a person and come up with a rash judgment about what we think they are like. The rhetorical analysis allows analyzing so many things.
When I’m not in school, I spend all of my time at home, when I wake up, I realize half of the time passed. I paused for a few moments and did nothing, I noticed, time went fast it’s already noon, I haven’t done anything yet, just staring at space dazing, why there is so many homework? when can I take a break? I’m so hungry, maybe I should take time playing with my two Guinea pigs. What’s next? What homework should I start with? what course I have for tomorrow? What should I eat for lunch? Dinner? And tomorrow? what foods need to buy for next week? The same questions repeat every day. Oh, my brain hurts, I think I should stop thinking.
