I have written essays like this one before. In previous essays of rhetorical analysis i had never considered the audience that was being written to. I learned from the author that it is important to include facts and opinions from differing sources if able. In total about the piece, through analyzing it, I learned how even a “shorter” article can be full of knowledge and argument strategies.
I prepared for my first essay by handwriting all of my basic ideas down first, creating a rather large draft. Then I typed it into my computer and read it aloud to check for any strange grammatical errors or repetition,(done after I completed my first draft), and then had my Nana and uncle read it to check for any errors. I want to get better at making drafts for essay 2/3. I feel I could have benefited from more time to write.
I don’t have any questions left about rhetorical analysis, mostly because, I do not know what to ask to improve my understanding. About the writing process and grammar I simply wish to get better at my silly mistakes I make in my sentences.
