When writing this essay, I wish I had began a little earlier. I started my outline on the day it was due and wrote my essay the Sunday before the first draft was due. I was very stressed out at first, especially when I had no ideas a couple of days before I needed a completed first draft. Although everything turned out well and I wrote a good essay, I would have liked it better to start earlier and take my time.
Furthermore, I realized how important rhetoric is, in any source. When first looking at Humans of New York, I thought the premise was simple. However, when starting to examine HONY closer and discovering all the rhetoric, I found there was much more than initially meets the eye. There is rhetoric in almost all sources, if only you search for it!

I commented on Michael's, Gabi's, and Katie's reflections
Yeah, I can connect with paragraph 2: it's almost as if "tomorrow" became "three days later," sometimes. Glad to hear that your paper was much better than the one before! Hope you do just as well or even better for these next few papers!
ReplyDeleteI understand how it feels to not have any ideas before starting an essay, but I find that when you actually start writing, the essay just seems to become easier to write and the ideas start pouring out. I agree with your point that rhetoric is almost everywhere from simple gestures or expressions to actual words. It is good to see that you are improving not only your writing, but your understanding also!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that my second essay was much better than my first. I have noticed a lot of improvement in my writing style; it has become much more sophisticated. I also analyzed HONY, and agree that there was much more to the website than you initially think.
