Since the graduation ceremony impressed and touched me, marching song still remains in my head. I still remembers the palpitating moment when I walked pridefully through crowds along with the song. Music definitely increased the mood and enhanced atmosphere accordingly. Although the composer Elgar did not intend to write a graduation song, Pomp And Circumstance No.1 is known as the “graduation march”. The song aptly fits for a graduation ceremony because of its musical components. This song is in binary form mainly composed of A and B sections repeating. Also, A section and B section are played in an unique and distinct way. …show more content…

My definition of rhetoric before the readings was simply: successful written or oral communication with a clear purpose & audience in mind. After completing the readings, I have decided that is not specific enough and does not encompass what rhetoric really is. The readings by Crusus, Channell, and Drucker helped establish a clear relationship between argument, “mature reasoning”, and communication as a mode used to communicate. Both of the readings provided a clearer understanding of argument and communication, key components to rhetoric, but did not change my definition until I read “The Rhetorical Situation” by Bitzer.

I agree with the message of this clip, which is to be cautious when looking for love and be certain that a deep and meaningful connection is present prior to engaging in intercourse with another. I think this is important because we live in a world that is over sexualized and as a result teaches our youth the wrong messages and leaves women feeling that they must seduce a man in order to entice and keep a man. In my opinion, Pastor Paul quoted two of the most profound statements which was King Solomon 's quote "Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires" this was a crucial message because it was directed at women who throughout history have had a tendency to seek love and in many cases try to force love when it is non-existent. Too many women today confuse intercourse with love and they end up with their hearts broken because they believed that a physical relationship would heighten their emotional
