Do you every think that posting a picture is dumb or do you do just cause? In this essay we get the opinion from Dr.Preston about us just using social media to post about dumb things then actually using it to communicate and talk to each other. Taking the example of people just posting their meals other that actually sitting down and enjoying and using it to show us that we live in a world where people don't really communicate but just message and send pictures to instead of doing things in the real world. While some people say that they do not use social media that is kinda of a lie because everyone does but some are just on it for no reason just cause everyone else is. In this essay we will be analyzing the diction, syntax, tone, and rhetorical strategies that the author used.
In this paragraph we will be analyzing the authors use of diction and syntax. The author arranges the words in such a way that everything is in a spot that make so much sense and so every thing is flowing very well and all makes sense. The author's use of diction is very good because he uses simple words and doesn't over complicate anything and make it easy for the reader to understand and to read.These words are arranged so well that it feels really good to actually sit down and read this essay and it also doesn't use big words to confuse the readers. The author's use of diction and syntax is really good and helps make the essay even better.
Next we are going to be talking about the author's tone towards the readers and towards the topic. We can see that the author has found something in the world that he feels isn't very good because he shows through his words that he would much prefer a face to face conversation over some texts back and forth. The author thinks that people are using social media in the wrong way and are using it for reasons like posting a picture of their food instead of actually using it to communicate with other people and interacting for work. The author's tone towards this subject is almost confused or concerned because social media is taking over people's lives. Now we are going to see the author's rhetorical strategies that are used in his essay.
The author's use of rhetorical strategies is so good. The author compares posting a picture to Instagram or Snapchat to going to a store and giving them the film to then develop the pictures. He states that there is no use of film anymore and that everyone just has it backed up onto their phones and that there was some sort of magic to getting a physical copy of a picture other than seeing it on our phone or anything else. The way we got pictures before social media and now are extremely different because we had to go out and buy film but now we can take 100 pictures in a couple of seconds and they are sometimes not even that special anymore. The author uses these rhetorical strategies to show his point that social media has made people not really find any special things in pictures and communicating with others.
The author has a very special way of using diction,syntax,tone, and rhetorical strategies The diction and syntax is used very well that the readers do not get lost and confused. The author's tone towards the topic is very concerned that people who are using social media will loss the way they talk with people in the real world and just talk to people on social media platforms. He uses rhetorical strategies to show that there are some importance in the old ways of doing things in this world instead of just posting a picture of our breakfast and hoping some will see it. The author uses there strategies in great ways to make his point more relevant in a world where every one is consumed by social media.
