Brenna on the oars

Put in Your Oar (Breanna Wilson)


James Watson and Francis Crick wrote an essay on the discovery of DNA, throughout the essay they thought rhetorically about their audience and how to deliver their message. Wayne Booth analyzed Watson and Crick’s use of rhetoric and showed how their understanding of rhetorical situation, their audience, and the stakes that were involved in making their claim. That had a great deal to do with how that claim was received, which lead them to win the Nobel Prize.
