Radio Project

• Rhetorical context (See Soundwriting 138)
• What are your purposes and goals for this project (define at least 3)?

1- to show how poetry can make different forms but still be considered a poem especially those who dont follow the traditional rhyme or structure

2- to show how sound, and rhythm help you to interpret poems and how it sounds when spoken aloud and not just read.

3- To help show John Cage’s approach to his poem and how it connects rhythm and language throughout

• Who is your audience? My audience is specifically college students, teachers, anyone who is interested in spoken word, poetry that is spoken aloud for us to fully understand what it really means in the context.

- poetic interpretation

• How do these factors play a role and what and how you will compose?

These factors play a role to show how poetry ebing read aloud gives it a different meaning. I will show poetic reading along with narration behind for the meaning showing Cages ideas. This is to help to make it more engaging for the viewers.
