In writing 39C course, I learned that the argumentation and persuasion is a main feature of the multi-modality that can help us enhance and reinforce our argument in our paper.

As we most of us know that every pictures has tells us a story, where it has some means behind it. To prove my point, I will give an example from HCP and AP paper. In my first multi-modality HCP paper, I did not have a lot of visual images that connected to my argument, the multi-modality images I included in my paper was hardly even connected to my argument as it does not tell anything to the reader why those images were there in my paper as they did not seem that effective as it should have been. For my AP project, I try to include very effective images that would help me to make my paper stronger such as few charts of my statistics and different graphs that would show how the problem has affected; therefore, that would give the reader and the audience visual image of what I am trying to argue in my paper and it will also help the reader and the audience

The author states, “today more than every, rhetoric operates not just through word choice but also through choice of multimedia elements” (Alfano and O’Brien 13). Rhetoric is not just visual or just written it has now combined to become one, where you have a picture and a caption or quotation that describes that particular event. The idea that an article no longer is just words on a page, it now has images to back up that piece encourages me to go out and read more articles. When I look at a page in a textbook or magazine and it is ninety percent words I don’t really want to read that particular page it tends to steer me away. I am a visual person and when I see pictures to go along with an idea or story I tend to be more interested and learn more about that

The word “canon” in rhetoric often refers to a body of principles, rules, standards, or norms. In Gideon O. Burton’s Silva Rhetoricae, Aristotle’s five canons of rhetoric convey general tenets of concentration that make communication more effective. These canons are labeled as Invention, Arrangement, Elocution, Memory, and Delivery, and as stated, “That is to say, they provide a template for the criticism of discourse (and orations in particular), and they give a pattern for rhetorical education” (Silva Rhetoricae, The Canons of Rhetoric) To write something, we must have something to write about. In the first principle of Invention, Burton states, “Invention describes the argumentative, persuasive core of rhetoric” (Canons of Rhetoric: Invention).
