Reflection on Project 2

This post is to reflect on the process of writing a rhetorical analysis as whole. To do this, I will be answering questions from the book Writing Public Lives.


Silva, Samuel. Drops of Water. 08/25/2011. CC 2.0 Generic. 

1. What was specifically revised from one draft to another?

My intro really needed some help from the first draft to the next one. A lot of the substance was changed because it wasn't written to the correct audience.

2. How did I reconsider my thesis or organization.

Like I said before, My intro really needed to be revise and the included my thesis. My first one didn't have any kind of direction of rhetoric, which is what the whole paper is supposed to be about. After I went back and changed it, it helped the direction of the whole paper improve.

3. What led to these changes?

Part of the reason was the audience, but it was more that I realized the direction that the paper is supposed to go in.

4. How do these changes affect my credibility as an author?

I think this helps gain the trust of my audience. They should be able to trust that when they read my thesis, they know what I'm going to write about.

5. How will these changes better address they audience?

If the audience feels like the thesis was written for them, they should feel more interested in reading it because it applies to them.

6. How did I reconsider sentence structure and style?

I tried to diversify the sentence structure to make it interesting and not boring to read. They style was professional.

7. How will these changes help the audience understand the purpose?

The purpose is to perform analysis and an example of it. The style should be professional so that they can see they credibility behind the analysis.

8. Did I have to reconsider the conventions of this genre?

Yes. I constantly had to remind myself of who the audience was, what kind of conventions are being used, and what the purpose was.

9. What does the process of reflection help you reconsider as your identity as a writer?

As a writer, it helps me realize where I need to improve, and where I have some strengths. It encourages me to grow where I have room and to improve the strengths I have,
