Rhetorical Techniques In My Writing

417 Words2 Pages

This paper was probably one of the hardest paper I had to write just because I felt like I was on my own. I was scared at first but i felt like this helped me learn how to properly look and analyze a speech or a writing in general. One way this helped was I highlighted what I thought was a rhetorical device and I had to properly analyze it and see what he/she is trying to accomplish through his or her writing. One thing that I still need practice on is explaining how the techniques the author uses workes for what they are trying to accomplish. The only way I can get better at this is by re-reading previous papers we worked with or just asking for help or clarification. The thing that this was most beneficial to me with this paper was learning

    As I read down the lines of the assignment sheet my heart began to speed up when I see that it is worth 100 points and it must be approximately four pages-that is the most I have ever had to write! I was mostly concerned about this first paper because in previous high school English classes the highest grade I had ever gotten on a paper was a B+. Dual credit composition has taught me many writing skills that I will continue to use once I get to Westminster. This course has taught me that in order to be an effective writer I must convey information in a manner which keeps the reader engaged.

    final, page 4). In this introduction of the Rhetorical Analysis, I was more informative since I included definitions for the naturalism and modernism, which would help the reader understand the analysis of the conventions for the rest of my essay. I also used the whole paragraph as my thesis because it allowed me to mention what lenses I would be analysing throughout the essay followed by a quote from a secondary source giving the conventions of such lenses. The Anteater Writing Guide also helped me to write an insightful introduction because I learned that the introduction has to explain the “because” of my argument that I am planning to explain. Therefore, for every lens that I mentioned, I talked about why it was the best lens to read Yonnondio

At the beginning of this class I thought that all of the writing assignments were going to be extremely hard, but after this assignment I realized that these assignments really aren’t going to be too difficult. I think this is due to the Writing as a Process SLO and that fact that it really helps break things into easy understandable parts that flow into one another.

  • What Are The Rhetorical Techniques In One Art

    485 Words  | 2 Pages

    Elizabeth Bishop’s poem, “One Art”, is a villanelle about the speaker being unable to find things that are important to them, and what the speaker thinks of these happenings. At first glance one might assume this poem is about simply misplacing or forgetting these belongings, but in reality, Bishop uses repetition, imagery, and structure to show that the action of constantly losing things can be easily let go after it’s done so many times, yet emotions that come with it are still painful, every time. Perhaps the most significant technique Bishop employs is repetition. Her use of this technique helps to create a sense of reassurance to the speaker and possibly the reader. This is most evident when the speaker reiterates, “The art of losing

    The last paper I wrote I felt confident about what I was writing on my paper and the things I wrote for the writing assignment. I was really interested because it was a book report on a book that caught my attention. The book is called Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, it was about his World War II experiences and how he was a prisoner of war in Germany. I did find this assignment to be a little challenging because we had to write about each chapter, however, we had to write each chapter in our own words and explain what each chapter was about. That’s why I found it a little challenging because I didn’t get to finish reading some chapters.
