Your answer should be a thesis driven discussion of the role of ethics in your own rhetorical acts. Some issues you could consider*:

Did your thoughts, intentions/actions, and speech/rhetoric align?

How did your use of rhetoric affect the Other: did it “bring them into Being” as Bakhtin would argue? Or did your response deny their “existence?”

Did you use identification according to Burke?

Is it possible to be both a noble and evil lover in one rhetorical act?

Should/could ethics have played a greater role in the example you identify? Why or why not?

Do we have a responsibility with our “response-ability?”

Did you think of this rhetorical exchange as war or love? How did this affect your action?

Was heteroglossia a factor in your exchange?
