feedback on classmate elevator pitch

Crystal’s elevator pitch interested me a lot. The topic she chose is a very controversial matter to discuss and I think she explained her ideas well, in an entertaining and easy way. Personally, I don’t know much about these different social issues that are of great importance, as a person that didn’t have a lot of knowledge of it I think I understood what she was talking about and why.

When she started with the slogan “My Body My Choice”, she got my attention immediately, because this is such a powerful group of words, and I don’t know if I’m right but I feel like because I’m a girl I felt like I can relate with that sentence.  I like how Crystal mentioned the different meanings this group of words has in different people, for example as she said, for some, it means being able to wear whatever they want wherever they want, for others it can mean the right to accept or decline to get a vaccine, and at last that in this century the main meaning for this sentences is referring to abortion.

She used the lens of trust to explain the rhetorical situation of the artifact. More specifically appealing to ethos because women are the ones carrying the signs and people will be more likely to get the effect or reaction of people about the posters.

Overall, I think her speech was effective in showing her point of view about the “My body my choice” social movement. She explained very well the rhetorical situation of the artifact giving specific examples for example exposing the visual rhetoric of the women writing in big and bold words in the posters.
