CM Punk Essay Analysis

493 Words2 Pages

I would have to say the most successful text I wrote was my popular essay. In it, I talk about the artistic potential of pro wrestling. And I adopted a personal stance as I talk about how it affected me. So I 'm examining the wrestler CM Punk in retrospect. Then, I 'm sharing my interpretation with the reader. Thus, the essay engages curiosity by offering something most readers wouldn 't otherwise encounter. And as for the language, I incorporated commentary and creativity. Besides, the text documents the events that turned CM Punk into a superstar. So it shifts between a narrative and my interpretation as a 14-year-old. Another part of the essay that works well was the introduction. I introduce the reader to me as a person along with an author. Then, I go into the topic of pro wrestling, how I became a fan of it, and what I admire about it. And while I 'm at it, I address some common sentiments the reader would have as a non-wrestling fan. Thus, the essay is a blend of sharing my thoughts and engaging the reader with the subject. Furthermore, from a creative perspective, I employed elements of fiction writing. The way I build CM Punk as a …show more content…

The essay works as a solid entry point for anyone unfamiliar with pro wrestling. And by focusing on one character, CM Punk, I 'm not overwhelming the reader. Yes, I want the reader to appreciate wrestling as a whole. But at the same time, I don 't want to appear as though I 'm justifying my weird fandom. Again, that effect makes the balance of the essay 's content and perspective crucial. As the author, I 'm like CM Punk in that I must grab the reader 's attention. They know what 's happening and why, at the very least, it should interest them. I 'm not persuading them for why they should become a fan. In fact, I make that point clear in the essay 's last paragraph. Instead, I 'm guiding them into someplace unfamiliar while pointing out the different nuances. So for those reasons, this essay is my best piece of writing

    184 Words  | 1 Pages

    The intended audience appears to be the educated general public. Upon close examination there does not seem to be anyone specific the essay points its finger at either directly or indirectly except for the use of complicated vocabulary and phrases. Eighner does not address anyone but his diction shows he expects his audience to contain a mind capable of understanding rich vocabulary such as bohemian, dilettanti, and disparage. The author could have an argumentative essay if it was not for the great deal of drawbacks placed into the essay and left uncontradicted such as “No matter how careful I am I still get dysentery at least once a month…” (“On Dumpster Diving” from The Norton Reader page 24, paragraph 30).

  • Bonehead Writing Analysis

    As I was reading Melissa Duffy’s “Inspiration, and Craig Vetter’s “Bonehead Writing,” I found myself connecting with Vetter’s paper more than Duffy’s. I found that the presentation in “Bonehead Writing” to capture my attention, and that Vetter’s feelings about writing was similar to my opinion on writing. Through his wording and humor, I think Craig Vetter wrote the best essay. I find that the wording and presentation of an article or essay influences my opinion of the writer, and it affects how I receive the idea they are trying to present to me. Craig Vetter uses a blunt approach to convey his idea that writing is nearly impossible to teach, and describes writing as “A blood sport, a walk in the garden of agony every time out.”

  • Crooked Smile Analysis

    I’m going to be writing my paper on a song called “Crooked Smile” by J.Cole, J.cole or Jermaine Cole, was originally born in Germany. When he was 8 months old he and his mother moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina. He attended St. Johns University and graduated with great distinction, he got introduced to music when he was 12 by a family member and ever since then he has been infatuated with rap music and the art of storytelling through music. I feel as though the thesis of this song is simply this, why feel the need to impress someone who doesn’t care about you or why let your insecurities stop you from being great? I also sense that there is an underlying meaning inside the song that promotes not catering to the conformity of society, such as you don’t need a “perfect” body and an amazing face just to be a star to yourself.

In the article, Writing What Matters: A Students’ Struggle to Bridge the Academic/Personal Divide Emily Strasser uses the following sentence to highlight and pinpoint the real true value of writing “Writing can and should be much more than sophisticated sentence structure and nuanced word choices. The devices of grammar and rhetoric remain superficial skills until a writer employs them to express important and powerful feelings, thoughts and ideas” (WaW Pg.200). I enjoy writing about myself because it helps me express my feelings. A paper may include correct grammar and word-context, but until the writer can intertwine powerful thoughts and feelings into the work, the writer is unable to accomplish the overall intended goal.
