Rhetoric In My Life Today

Today was interesting.  Therefore, I'm going to analyze all of the rhetoric I encountered.  I woke up this morning at 9:15. Great. I needed to leave at 9:30.  I wanted to look somewhat presentable today.  I knew that even though we were just presenting a movie I'd still have to stand up in front of people and look like a credible source of information.  After LA101H I went to Crim.  I walked into class, expecting to see Professor Baker, and Kevin the TA standing there messing around with the powerpoint slides, but today someone else was down in front.  It was this nice young man, dressed in a shirt and tie.  Professor Baker introduced him and said that he was here to talk about the corrections system.  I expected him to be this young hot shot parole officer or corrections counselor, but that was far from the truth.  He was actually a Penn State junior, who had spent a year in prison.  The way that he was dressed completely threw me off.  The way you dress carries so much power, and I don't know why I just realized that.  After my day of classes, I went to meetings.  The second meeting was the most unproductive event in my whole life.  We are all pretty close friends, and we are trying to form this credible organization, but when we get together all we do is swap stories.  Our group is lacking a powerful speaker that has the power to guide our conversations in the right direction.  We'll see if we actually find this person.
