"WHAT WRITING DOES AND HOW IT DOES IT"
What stood out for me about the "fetish" page was the spatial relationship of the images. The floating quality conveyed by the chosen angles and varied sizes of the actual objects provided an open quality, mentally. The lack of structured organization was freeing, relaxing and three-dimensional.
The writing style drew me in the more I read it. By that I mean after a few paragraphs I was used to the continued return to the image's description. In this way, the writing directive is circular, which I was not expecting. What is useful about this style is its effect to continually reveal something about a subject matter. Re-checking, re-reading points changes perspective.
When considering Eve, the analysis is helpful in practicing questioning. Getting caught up in finding a specific answer has the potential to become a distraction from something more meaningful (or perhaps relevant is a better word) to the questioner. Using a method of questioning and describing is helpful in leading the questioner to an opportune place. Another helpful thing about this piece is its illustration of how this type of analysis is a tool that can be applied to whatever the questioner values.
I find the choice of subject matter with Eve to be rhetorical because the game is an exercise in how to influence a reality around a player through choices they make. This reflects the larger scale of the purpose language holds in society to shape our daily realities.
The example of the book on page 21 is reminiscent of the symbol drafted on the board in class last week, the textualized rhetorical situation, in the way the image creates the box-within-a-box type of diagram. An image that conveys a three-dimensional sense of space. I don't mean to imply this was the author's intention.
