I used an application called Coggle for my mind mapping. Mindmapping and writing down my ideas like this is not my style. I prefer to just have it in my head. However, after experimenting with this I realized the benefits it has to offer. Having my ideas and thoughts written like this makes it easier to remember and use later. Even though I still prefer just having my ideas in my head, I really do like the aesthetic feel and benefits mind mapping applications give.
Using a MindMap to organize my thoughts on the rhetoric between the two books was a really valuable experience. It allowed for me the ability to visualize my thoughts. The books Just Mercy and The Help each have a common theme and use different types of rhetoric to build that theme. Some examples of the rhetoric used are Pathos, Imagery, and repetition, as seen in the MindMap. The uses of rhetoric helps the authors build their case about the evil of systematic racism and racial discrimination.
