In-Class Writing 2

As soon as I leave my dorm room, I am exposed to rhetoric all around me without even noticing.  First, I see all the signs, posters, and boards hanging all over the dorm hall.   They are promoting all different things,  like study groups, parties, clubs, recreational activities, and such. In the bathroom, there is writing on the mirror informing everyone about a 3K walk they are having for cancer awareness, signs for a movie night, and post-it notes telling people to join certain Facebook groups. On my walk to class, I am approached by a man who hands me a pamphlet saying "Help End Cruelty!"  I look at the pamphlet and there are pictures all over of animals in small, dirty cages.  There is information throughout it about animal cruelty in factories and how cutting the amount of meat you eat in half can help.  There is rhetoric everywhere, you just have to look for it.
