The most useful part of this reading that I encountered was the part about the statement of purpose. This is something I have problems with, because I usually have too much I wish to argue. Reading through this part made me think of exactly what I want to argue and how to go about refining the argument. The step by step directions were really helpful. I do not have a purpose statement quite yet, but it is helping me figure out exactly what I want to do my project on.
One of the biggest things I saw in this text was the emphasis on testing your material. It seems like in all steps of creating any rhetorical argument, you need to test it out before you let it loose. After testing you need to refine and test again. This needs to be repeated until the best argument that you can make. I usually do this when I am writing a persuasive paper, but not to the extent it seems like creating a visual rhetorical argument is. Looking at these chapters I think that this project is going to be a lot bigger than I originally thought it was going to be.
