Van Dyke 1 Casey Van Dyke Kimberly Strickland English 1010 February 27, 2014 Rhetorical Rationale My Reflection

essay, Visual Analysis, and Rhetorical Analysis papers were intended for different audiences. My Reflection paper was written for anyone interested in reading a piece of my personal history regarding the many steps my reading and writing process has taken over the years. My fellow classmates benefited most from this paper in my opinion, because they learned that everyone has a different writing style and has a different approach to writing. My Visual Analysis was written for the intended purpose of explaining a cartoon and assuming a hidden agenda behind it. The audience my message was intended for was people who are obsessed with the culture shock of the end of the world. Also the picture has a message of its own and I did my best to break that down and create my own paper based on what I saw. My Rhetorical analysis was written for purpose to show understanding of Logos, Pathos, and Ethos, and show the correct way to use them. In this paper I took a side with the author trying to get his opinion across on the subject. This paper was more about the authors intent rather than my own. My purpose for writing these papers was to demonstrate my writing style and convey my message as clear and concise as possible. My Reflection paper was written to show the many lessons I had and the things I had learned over the years

Van Dyke 2 that showed my writing ability up to this point. My Visual papers purpose was to show the meaning and bring understanding to a cartoon. The revisions I made to my papers were small. I changed the order of some of my paragraphs because they sounded better placed in different spots in the paper. I removed some sentences that seemed to drag or state the same thing a previous sentence had already said. Also some grammatical errors needed correction to bring clear precise statements that made sense. Reading other peoples papers really gave me insight and included great examples that helped me in slumps. I really enjoyed learning from my fellow students and seeing their different styles they incorporated into their own papers. Their advice on different things I could try to make my papers better were invaluable to my writing process and I really appreciated every ounce of advice they gave me to make my papers as great as possible. My writing knowledge has increased tremendously from this class. Every tool and writing processes I have learned in this class has increased my writing ability and given me the opportunity to create some of the best pieces of writing so far. I look forward to learning even more and growing as my writing style grows.
