Analysis

Prairie View A&M University uses the large rhetorical strategy of Imaging Ideal Readers and the rhetorical style of logos to persuade readers of the phenomenal university. This website corresponds to opportunities and potential to grow while attending PVAMU. Using ideal readers as a rthetorical strategy was a good way to structure the audience as to why it’s the best school for you. This university targets a student who can show leadership and is academically talented. The university explains it provides educational experiences that will prepare graduates for professional practice and a meaningful social service “excellence through imperatives will lead us boldly with imagination and vision.” (PVAMU,16). There mission is to provide high quality educational experience for students completing their bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate degrees.

The website opens to a slide show with images that includes students sitting down in a group with laptops.

Response

Honestly, yes, I would attend Prairie View A&M University. I like the university building designs it provides everything needed for students under that certain department. It is reachable 24hrs a day, 7 days a week making it easier for students to complete things. PVAMU has great history that is the key to the school and the students, faculty and staff motivate each other to keep it alive. Another reason why I would attend is because it is an HBCU. I feel as though I fit right in. I feel like the university caters to our needs and are truly preparing us for the real world. I like how Prairie View during campus events alcohol isn’t permitted, at most colleges students turn to partying and drinking. My values from the list are teamwork, safety, and caring. I chose teamwork because I feel like nothing won’t be as good enough without help from classmates or advice. I chose safety because as a student I wouldn’t want to be on an unsafe campus or neighborhood. Caring because the professors should really care about and take time to make sure they succeed.

                  Hello, this an interview with Debora Mekonnen about her academic self. She’s 19 years old she’s currently enrolled at Georgia State Perimeter College and doesn’t quite know what she wants to major in yet.

She wants your GPA to raise higher each semester, and she makes sure she completes all assignments on time with the professor’s expectations. All three words to describe Debora’s self-academic connected to study strategies that Dr. Chew mentioned. Dr. Chew said, “In order to succeed, you need to reduce or, even better, eliminate all these distractions.” Debora’s relates to this because she limits her cell phone and other things that distract her during study time for a better understanding.
