Angie Powers’s Reviews > Understanding Rhetoric: A Graphic Guide to Writing > Status Update

In this book, the authors are explaining the history and meaning of rhetoric but they do so in a comic book format. They acknowledge that the word is loaded: "[Rhetoric] has connotations of duplicity, sneakiness, and even outright deception" (Losh 36). They even write, "[It's] a dirty word" (Losh 36). While we will learn about rhetoric next semester, I love that this books relates to our current learning too!
