Reflection of Rhetorical Analysis

Reflection of Rhetorical Analysis

I feel like I deserve an A- on this paper. I tried really hard to listen to the feedback that I got from you as well as the people in my group. I looked through the Writing and Rhetoric Supplemental Guide to look for things that my paper needed and how it could be improved. I think that my rhetorical tools that I discussed were explained thoroughly and I worked hard to make my introduction better and better especially from the opinion editorial that we wrote. I probably could have gone into a little more detail and focused on how to pertain each thing to my audience, but overall I feel like my final draft improved a lot from my first draft because I tried hard to fix those things.

If I had another chance, I would have gone to the writing center a couple of more times. I really like the feedback that they give there, especially because it is coming from people that know what they are talking about and what is expected from each paper. I would also have tried to go deeper into my analysis within my body paragraphs. I have a hard time really latching on and describing each and every detail. The article that I chose was a little bit harder than I thought to rhetorically analyze. I probably would have chosen a different article to write about.

My biggest challenge was going into a lot of detail when describing my rhetorical tools and explaining what made them effective as well as how they pertained to the audience. I struggled with identifying my audience and pulling them into my essay.

I think that my introduction is very strong. I also think that my ideas are very clear as well as the paragraphs being very organized.
