    In the article “ The Black Canon: Reconstructing Black American Literary Criticism “ is about the struggles black american had to face within the racial inequality in the society. In this article, I found out that black american still have a long term issue within the white audience in the literature. The main focus of “ The Black Canon:Reconstructing Black American Literary Criticism, “is to emphasise that black american literature historical racial issues makes it difficult to be accepted in the white platform. For example, Joyce state “ Black man merges into American mainstream society, he or she looks at himself from an individual perspective that enable him or her to accept elitist American values… Phenomena.” This evidence highlights that even though some people of color are accepted their people are still belittle which made the people of color stand up to express themselves.

    This critical essay resonated with me because the essay discuss the ideas, and explain the situation that these people had to face in order to express themselves. . A memorable quote for me is “ The black writer is the point of consciousness of his language” because this quote means that a person has a voice when they write something.The rhetorical situation is about the way we convey with other individuals using five different elements in a text ( Purpose, Audience, Genre, Stance, and Media/Design ). To begin, the purpose is the important message, audience basically is the group of people that you are trying to convey to, genre explain the way of exporting a message, stance is your feeling and media/ design is the way a message is format and transport. Ethos, pathos, and logos connects with the five elements because each provided the in between stage of each elements in order for the text to be understood and well done.
