I post two advertisements of each person to provide 3Rs: Response, Rhetorical analysis and Research questions that we discussed in the class.
First R : Response.
When I watched Tom Corbett's campaign, I felt he pays attention on budget. He says
reducing spending money is for making more budget, and helping to do not raise taxes.
When I watched Tom Wolf campaign, he was supported by his family and employees to claim. he was much more familiar than Tom Corbett. So I thought claiming way is effective and he can communicate with people more than Tom Corbett.
