Environmental and Linguistic Revisions on RA2:
What I would definitely include in a revised 'Rhetorical Analysis 2' is a description of how the website functions as a material community. With regard to environmental rhetorical analysis, I would say that the Change.org page functions as something much bigger than a room, but a contained place where information can be presented in an unbiased manner. What most strongly accentuates this feature is the sites devotion to petitions. With the simple one-click participation in any petition you are disposed to, you feel as though you are talking with someone face-to-face. What I notice about language, that I feel embarrassed for not mentioning in my original analysis, is the very large typeface that headlines the page: "The world's platform for change", with the 'start a petition' button right next to the text. This alone does a great job of immediately making clear to visitors what the intent of this website is.
