Chapter 3

I thought it was interesting how in this chapter it talked about how when we look at text we tend to emphasize some detail. Sometimes we tend to leave the small details out because we don't want the listener to portray a bad image of ourselves. We try to do what we feel is best for the reader. In chapter three is also talked about the analyze angle of vision. That term focuses on what the reader knows and what specific information they want to tell their listeners because they are trying to get a certain point across. It was also interesting to read about how we tend to focus on the image. People look at the pictures that may be presented by others when they are giving a speech and how it relates to the topic. They also tend to see what the speaker might be wearing. What kind of image is the person portraying? Is the person in a suit or are they in regular casual clothes. The image of the person tends to give the way the people look upon them.
