Your blog was well-written and thorough. I learned more about people who I never encountered in my research, such as Corax and Tisias. You did a splendid job explaining each time period, as well as providing a smooth progression of ideas. The only problem is the shifts in verb tenses, such as switching from past to present. But this problem does not affect the overall piece. Your blog, as a whole, was extremely clear and well-developed.
Your blog was very informative and thorough. I learned about many rhetoricians that I didn’t include in my own blog post. I didn’t know about the story of Corax and Tisias, I was unfamiliar with Gorgias the Sophist, and I had never heard of Hugh Blair, the author of Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres. Learning about these people was quite fascinating. Another thing that I liked about this post was how you covered the entire history of rhetoric, transitioning from the time of the ancient Greeks, through the Middle Ages, past the Renaissance, and up to the Enlightenment. Furthermore, I was really impressed that you included how rhetoric has evolved even during the 20th century, with the use of mass media. Overall, it is obvious that you researched rhetoric’s rich history in depth, as shown through your long works cited list.
I was really impressed that you covered rhetoric from the ancient Greeks all the way to the 20th century and talked about rhetoric in modern technology. I can tell you really did a thorough research on how rhetoric evolved throughout history because you brought to my attention rhetoricians I was unaware about. I especially liked how you included a little scene with Corax and Tisias. The only problem is that there were some problems with inconsistent verb tenses, but your blog was definitely developed and organized. Good job!(:
