Something we haven’t considered before is kairos– the influence of time, culture, and context on an artifact’s rhetorical appeals. How have artifacts adapted to time and place? For this assignment, we want to investigate an artifact rhetorically and culturally over time. The artifact can be one of your choosing as long as it has a history of at least 40 years. Examples include products, brands, locations, and services.
For this assignment, compose a 4 to 6 page analysis paper that contains
Detail essential historic or background information about the artifact briefly
Include that makes a claim about how the artifacts have changed over time and the effectiveness of that change
Did the audience change? Did they switch rhetorical appeals? Are they always cashing in on current events?
Analysis of Artifacts
Evaluate the appeals used in each artifact. You don’t need to analyze every – only the ones relevant to your thesis and analysis
Identify changes from artifact to artifact such as shifts in audience, appeal strategies, or message, and explain if these are effective. You can also explore consistencies in these components.
Incorporate sources that put your analysis into context or explain a critical component (e.g. historic context, data to support choice, etc)

Exploring this Topic
The following questions and suggestions provide a useful checklist for this assignment. You don’t have to respond to all of them in your paper, but do take time to consider each one as you explore your writing process.
When do you usually begin writing? Do you begin your work as soon as you know you have to write, or do you procrastinate? What do you do to delay the task?
What time of day do you usually write? Where? Describe the place, scene, or setting in detail. What kind of light do you prefer?
As you write, do you sit, stand, recline, squirm, pace, take breaks, exercise, meditate?
What pens, pencils, or types of technology and books do you use? Do you have a favorite kind of paper?
Do you eat or drink while writing? Listen to music?
How are your spirits when you write? How does your body feel? Are you tense, relaxed, nervous, hungry? Why do you feel the way you do as you write?
When you write, do you do more than one draft? How many? Do you edit and proofread? What kinds of changes do you make? Be specific.
Do you share your work with anyone? Who?
Technology
We have been talking about the many ways technology is a part of our lives, as well as the ways
We think it will continue to affect us in the future.
Some of you have expressed concerns about artificial intelligence (AI). Others are worried about
What technology may mean for the job market: will positions that are currently filled by people be lost to technology, making it harder for people to find work?
Another question: what do you hope new technology will accomplish? This is a positive direction for those of you want to work in an upbeat direction.
And some of you are worried about privacy. Is technology making it impossible to keep information about our lives private?
1. What is Polonius telling Reynaldo to do in II.i? What does this tell us about Polonius and his way of thinking and acting?
2. Why is Ophelia so upset when she enters at II.i? What has happened to her? Does Hamlet’s appearance (in her telling) as a madman (a distracted lover) come as a surprise after what we last heard him say?
Why would he appear in this sort of madness to her? Is there any possibility he really is a distracted lover responding to Ophelia’s apparent rejection of him? How well has she obeyed her father’s orders in I.iii?
2. Read Hamlet’s third soliloquy carefully (II.ii). How does he use the player’s response to show how different his own position is? Is the comparison justified by what we have seen happen in the play?
He complains that he hasn’t acted on his vengeance. Why hasn’t he? Why does he need the play? What will he learn from it?
