After reading the chapter body of rhetoric I learned deeper into how people can use their body actions as a way to communicate. The four types of body rhetoric’s are embodied argumentation, street theater, rhetorical style and the vibe as bodily emantation. Embodied argumentation relates to how our body actions create arguments, street theater corrolates to rebellious acts like protests, rallies and marches, rhetorical style describes the feel from communicative gestures and vibe or bodily emanation describe the energy coming from our bodies. These body rhetoric’s affect our communication letting us speak up through actions and not language. It shows how wide of range language can go from words to body language. Four ways bodily argumentation expands the realm of rhetoric’s by your call to action, providing more rhetorical options, empowerment and highlights the craft of everyday living. These 4 bodily argumentations supports one’s positions by having your body actions speak for you and being your main source of communication. The five steps for cultivating style are observing your own style and other’s, reflect on your styles you’ve observed, experiment with a variety of them, apply those styles and take a chance with unusual or out of your comfort zone styles. An individual body argument commits your own actions to spark your own beliefs and views as collective arguments are often through protests and actions. Collective relies on bodies rather than words. A collective body argument I’ve experienced would be when my high school classmates and I got up and took a stand to leave class after we had a substitute teacher being very rude and abrupt with us.
