Observation #6

From writing the creative writing assignment, I have learned how to utilize rhetorical analysis in persuasive arguments. For this assignment, we were assigned to write about something usually viewed as bad and to persuade the audience to view it as something good. I chose to write about Adolf Hitler, a cruel dictator viewed as an awful man world-wide. In my paper I emphasized Hitler's good attributes, such as his speech giving skills, leadership skills, and determination. I also mentioned how much passion Hitler had for Germany, and what he did to improve his country. I didn't really mention the bad things Hitler did. In order to make my argument more persuasive I should have tried somehow to turn his bad actions into a good thing.
