During the rhetorical appeals module, the two things that I encountered were: STAR and kairos. While reading this module I was re-informed about: pathos, logos, and ethos. In learning more about these concepts, I learned that what can be seen as the fourth rhetorical appeal is kairos. In learning about kairos, I learned that it is about time and how we know when the right time is to state something and how stating it at a specific time makes the statement more affective.
While learning more about logos, I encountered the acronym STAR. Since logos is about appealing to the audience’s logical side, STAR focuses on being sufficient,typical,accurate, and relevant. I think when writing any paper or essay this can be helpful.
In applying these concepts outside of class, I think applying STAR is something that I would have to learn to work in to other essays and papers. The kairos concept is something,I think, most people already do, including myself. Knowing the correct placing of a statement or when to say it can make a paper better and can help in life.
