This image above symbolizes the rhetorical argument about the difference of need and want with mobile technology. You notice in the picture that everyone has a cellphone, so due to that situation they depict cellphones as a necessity. Grant-Davie explains the importance of exigence, rhetor, and audience, when analyzing a rhetorical situation. According to Grant-Davie "exigence is the matter and motivation of the discourse". So after understanding Grant-Davie definition of exigence, I can say that the matter and motivation of this photo is the discourse of mobile technology and its ability to amplify. According to Grant-Davie, rhetor is those people,real or imagined, responsible for the discourse and its authorial voice. After understanding the definition of the rhetor in the image above are high school or college students sitting around on their cell phone in order to play a role with the connection to the audience. Grant- Davie states, audience those people real imagined, with whom rhetors negotiate though discourse to achieve the rhetorical questions. The view of the audience is the main purpose of rhetorical situations. The people in the image above are high school or college students with cell phones and define them as a necessity. The audience can compare themselves to the people and may consider cell phones as a necessity to them. This image suggests the influence of your peers and the influence of technology with the younger generations. In which the rhetorical objective would be completed. Grant- Davie believes "constraints are factors in the situation's context that may affect the achievement of the rhetorical objectives. Possible constraints in the image above is there is no advertisement for cell phone companies or what type of cellphones they have. Grant- Davie gives a detailed explanation the things we need in order to give a rhetorical analysis. Although briefcases vs backpacks explained the same ideas I understand  the role of exigence and audience a little better though Grant-Davie's article.
