Rhetorical Analysis of Nontraditional Texts
A simple text from the film, “A Simple Text” by Louis Theroux, is analyzed in its cultural implications and the author goes on to describe how the text is not just a simple text but one that needs to be seen as of such. The text is full of various metaphors, examples in specific literary techniques, and a more complex textual analysis. The phrase that stands out to me most from this film is, “We were in love…and we were happy”. This phrase at first, is said to the author by a woman who is dealing with the loss of her husband to cancer- not just any woman, but his wife. After the interview, he casually asks her what happens when she dies and their only daughter leaves for college. The two discuss that they will be put into a cardboard box and pushed behind a fridge where most people don’t see them. They continue to discuss why this is and it is agreed upon that it was because of their lifestyle choice- they weren’t part of the “normal” social activity. The text also reflects on some real life issues such as technology and youth culture. This analysis shows how these texts have practical applications for everyday life today. It also discusses theories such as post-modernism and cyber culture in relation to the work discussed.The author has a clear understanding of the text’s rhetorical analysis and its practical application for everyday life.

In a culture of social networking and instant messaging where people often use abbreviations to say what they mean, and in the process risking their grammar structure, the author points out that one has to be careful what they do or risk losing their audience. “The idea is not to try to use the same, but to find new and different ways of getting across the same meaning. The way, for example, some people might write down a text message on a piece of paper and then type it out in full: those two bits of language are very different, yet both achieve the same thing.”
