As a white writer, Rowell also wants to write about other races, like she does in Eleanor and Park, “that’s really scary. You have good intentions, but at the same time, you’re blind” (Rowell 2013).

In David Foster Wallace’s commencement speech “This Is Water” the main point he is trying to get across is to think differently than you are hard-wired to think. He uses multiple stories to show when and where to think differently.

He shares this story to point out that the most obvious things in life are the hardest to be aware of. For example, he tells a story about two guys in the Alaskan wilderness and neither of them would change their mind or try to understand the other one’s perspective on religion.

I am writing this Rhetorical Reflection Memo to reflect on my experiences, readings, and works and examine how my skills have developed from past to present and how to further improve them in the future. Over the course of the term there have been four papers (this being the fifth) that have made me aware of both my strengths and weaknesses in writing: “Rhetorical Analysis”, “Analytic Summary”, “Literacy Narrative”, and “Summary Response”. I struggled the most writing the “Summary Response”, and had the most ease writing the “Literacy Narrative”, but with each paper I experienced some kind of difficulty that helped me learn about my own capabilities. I was most challenged by the “Summary Response”, but my difficulties with writing the paper
