Homework: Kairos, Chronos, oh my!

Homework: please read the “Is Rhetoric an Art?” article (now linked off the schedule), and the reading on Kairos. Compose a one page entry discussing time and argument. Provide one example where you, a friend, etc used the right argument at the opportune moment, or the wrong argument at the wrong moment. Other combinations may also be possible. The purpose of this exercise is to get you thinking about how argument relates to a concept of time (linear and the opportune), and identify a few instances where you can see this play out.

Please be prepared to discuss and hand in (print) your one page paper on Tuesday.
