Rhetorical analysis is defined as ones audience, stance, and genre. Where something as a whole is divided to easier to understand parts and has more of a meaning to it then meets the eye. Rather then watch a movie or read a book and keep focus on the part that is being showed instead of the true meaning of it. Many movies and books go deeper then what is showed, for example V for vendetta
The film V for Vendetta is all about words retaining there power, where most people just watch it because of the cool fighting seens that occur instead of the true meaning behind Guy Fawks. Giving power to words and symbols through people is the true meaning. A tyrant of the government establishes control of a country through the means of fear, and people who try to speak out aginst him or his ideas are imprisoned, thus taking the power of words away. A tatical Assassin named V wants to see freedom return to this country by bringing out the courage of people and bringing back the power of certain words like freedom, fairness, and justice. so the words are more than words, they are perspectives. during one part of the film v says "People should not be afraid of their govenments, governements should be afraid of their people" because people should have power on what happend to their country, not one man.
The audience is all the people who watch and have a snese of going deeper then what is shown, instead of the people who wanna see some blood and violence. and the stance is more in exposing people to the unheard or unseen. People do not wanna be kept in the dark while someone is running a country that is completely misleading. Words need to keep their meaning so people have the power

I really liked that movie. I liked how they showed what happens if you just lie down and let people push you around using fear of desease and war. Choosing a movie like that could give a person too much to write about. You did a good job choosing your topics.
