Read the textbook chapter on Style, Delivery, and Rhetorical Theory assigned for 9/20. Then, find a letter written today for business or government. Or, look online at letter-writing advice. Compare contemporary letters or letter-writing advice with that of the Middle Ages discussed in the book, and respond to the following questions:
*What similarities do you notice between contemporary and Middle Age letter writing? Differences?
*How do you account for these similarities and differences?
*What impact has technology had on letter-writing?
Note: please begin the title of your responses as Blog Post #1, Blog Post #2, etc, for identification when grading. You can continue with your own title, or use the same title as this blog post assignment (just make sure to identify the number of the blog post assignment).
