In 250 words, answer the following questions:
• Think of an example from your life that addresses the following questions: is rhetoric more about explaining truths or about creating beauty? Can you articulate a beautiful untruth (i.e. a lie)? Can truths be beautiful or must they remain ugly? Have you ever shared an “ugly” truth?
• You must mention kairos, polis, or engage the ideas of the Sophists, Gorgias, Protagoras, and/or Aspasia discussed in class from the Herrick textbook. Write your answer in the form of a narrative. Don’t tell me. Show me.
I will grade this assignment on a 10-point scale: 10 (A), 5 (C), or 0 (F). When completing this assignment, you are encouraged to provide details from beyond the text (e.g., personal experiences, outside sources, etc.), but using Herrick is a requirement when necessary.
You will receive the full 10 points for answering the questions completely in depth and creatively, you will receive 5 points for partially answering the questions, scarcely, and not critically and you will receive 0 points for not answering the questions at all or not putting forth any effort.
I will deduct points for excessive grammar and spelling mistakes.
Double space and use paragraphs.
