I chose to revise Rhetorical Activity 1 from page 186
In this blog I will discuss an article from the DA addressing Facebook, the complete lack of necessity involved in Facebook, and the misuse of information found on Facebook. In this article the writer discusses how the information one puts on Facebook can be used for profit because it, like a diary, holds secrets that you believe to be safe, but can be used once it has been attained. Furthermore, why even put up such trivial information about yourself? Such information does not reveal the person that you are; you cannot judge a book by it's cover, and you cannot truly understand a person by the few pictures and updates they put on their Facebook profile.
The writer uses examples and maxims in his article to make his point known, and they are used so well that they fully illustrate how ridiculous the Facebook community is becoming. Also used are enthymemes, which the writer uses to lead the reader through a series of postings put up by various users. The writer leads us through these postings, pointing out the unnecessary information, user indulgence in such information. By the end of the article the reader can see clear as day, through the writer's use of enthymemes, examples, and maxims, how Facebook has become a monster that feeds on that personal, useless information.
