Hey everyone! Since we're trying to get some excitement up here, I thought I'd share a little of what I do. Ideally, every year I would like to present at a conference. Our main ones in rhetoric are 4Cs, NCA, and some others, depending on your area. A conference paper is a paper written to be delivered orally to your audience. It is based on the classical lecturing tradition. Anyway, I want to do one on the rhetoric of alien sighting/abductee reports. Do you think that would be cool? I'd talk about the commonalities between these reports, besides what the person might have actually seen. I'd bet that what people report is probably influenced by what they've seen in movies, read in the newspaper, or read in books.
