Rhetoric Audience

I am going to write about how I used rhetoric in my Miami essay. I didn't know what it was at the time, but I definitely tailored my essay to appeal to my audience. My audience was a panel of admissions officers. I didn't know exactly who they were, but I assumed they would prefer a more professional style of essay. I did play to one of my advantages though. I knew they would have a strong connection to Miami, so I tried to use that to help "give them what (I think) they wanted to hear." I tried to tell them of my own personal connection to Miami. It must have worked, because I'm here at Miami now!
