One of the interesting things that I noticed from the piece that I had selected in my previous post was that Clinton applies a considerable amount of topic of praise (Book 1, Chapter 9). What I thought was interesting about this was that it was a considerable amount of praise, but not so much, albeit there was some, blame. In the commercial that we watched in class on Friday, the topics of blame were equal if not greater to the topics of praise, but here, it was refreshing to see something different.
Brady - I know for a fact that you've got more to say about this than what you're writing. What do you mean "applies a considerable amount of topic of praise"? Where? How? About whom? These concepts don't come to life in generative ways unless they are attended with specificity: you've got to show and explain examples, and mention what makes them interesting. I'm not really following the discussion you're having here, though. I have a sense that you are sort of phoning it in.
