Using a persuadable moment makes a lot of sense to me! The beginning of this chapter is hilarious and its funny cuz he wasn't expecting her to trick him cuz she never does and then BOOM she randomly does it and he falls for it!
I think the persuadable moment is really hard..it's hard to feel the others mood sometimes, which means if you try to change the mood it could make it worse. And the second tool seems to be mentioned alot im this book, changing or choosing your audience.
I think this chapter was clarifying the part about choosing your audience. The chapters now seem to just be clarifying and adding to ideas he has already covered.

I think kairos is something you naturally start to learn as a child. I think sometimes you just naturally know the persuadable moment and other times it can be hard to find it.
Persuading based on an audience or mood is my favorite thing ever. I do it all the time, when I think of kairos I just think of that person in the gym who stands up and starts to slow clap.. its all about the moment.
take a comedy show for example, if you put a fake audience with people laughing at every funny thing on the show, it's a lot more persuasive and makes you think that its funny as well.
The steps of the halo all made sense to me. It was straight foreword goal of achieving values. Find values and symbolize values. I'm not really sure about symbolizing values. I'm sure one of you bright young-lings can clear all this up for me. Beyonce can see your halo.
The whole choose future tense over past tense thing makes sense, but I feel like it would be hard to come up with examples from the future tense on the spot during an argument then to think of something that already happened.

ReplyDeleteI thought this chapter made a lot of sense, and that the beginning was hilarious also.
DeleteAgreed, I really enjoyed this chapter. Along with understanding it, I also loved reading this chapter as well.
DeleteI agree, it was very funny! I kind of want to try it. I like the persuadable tool alot..it seems very helpful!
DeleteYou keep spelling "cuz" that way and it makes me sad that this is an English blog.
DeleteI thought that was a pretty good example, too. It definitely helped heighten my interest in what he was going to teach.
DeleteI agree, the beginning of this chapter was funny. Its even more funny that she did it to him as payback and that he completely fell for it.

ReplyDeleteI agree, it sort of comes naturally. Yea and that's what I find hard is when is the right time?..
DeleteAgreed, kairos in my mind are naturally! But I think that you would have to really think on the timing.
DeleteSame thing i was thinking!
Deletea lot of things in this book are naturally known or learned, but this book is making you aware of it. I think i've said this before.
DeleteYeah I agree like when someone's mad at you, you don't go ask them for a favor at that moment and I think a child understands that
DeleteI think changing circumstances or mood is a fantastic way to have a persuadeable moment, I think that this comes in handy!
ReplyDeleteYes it does come in handy!
DeleteI agree, that changing circumstances or mood is a good way to having a persuadable moment as long as you do ir the right way, it could be difficult.

ReplyDeleteThe audience is a vital aspect of rhetoric. If you can persuade them more power to you.
Deletetake a comedy show for example, if you put a fake audience with people laughing at every funny thing on the show, it's a lot more persuasive and makes you think that its funny as well.
DeleteCody, that's a really great way to describe it. A very important part of any type of comedy is timing.

ReplyDeleteWhat he was saying about a persuadable moment was interesting. I hadn't really thought about that before, but it makes a lot of sense.
ReplyDeleteI liked reading this chapter. I thought the persuadable tool was helpeful and seems fun. Finsing the persuadable moment seems a little tricky.
