1. How would you tell the story of your thinking and writing process? Complete these sentences: “When I first began this assignment, I thought…..” and “AS I did some thinking, writing and research my ideas changed and I thought…”
When I first began this assignment I thought that it would be easy because I picked someone I admired and looked up to ever since I knew who he was. It was not as easy as I thought it would be because I needed to analyze the speech and not given my opinion on the speech. As I did some thinking, writing and research my ideas of the speech I had to change my reading for opinionated to analytical reading.
2. How did you choose a text to analyze for this assignment? What criteria did you use when selecting it?
I chose this reading because I had always loved this speech from the first time I had read it. Also knowing I had to analyze something I thought it would be interesting to use another president’s speech because our President just went through his inaugural address.
3. What was the most difficult problem you faced while writing? How did you go about trying to solve it?
The most difficult problem I faced while writing was not adding in my opinion to the paper and using pure analysis instead. I tried to make sure that when I went back to revising my paper that I used analysis than opinion. Proof reading helped me the most while writing this paper.
4. Whose advice did you seek while drafting, revising and editing? What advice did you take and what did you ignore? Why?
I tried to take all of the advice in because I knew that everyone who gave me feedback was not trying to worsen my paper but made it better. I fixed my wording in some parts and added more detail in unclear areas the best I could.
5. What do you feel are the strongest points of this essay? What are the weakest elements and how could you improve them?
The strongest point of my essay would have to be the clear examples that I have within my paper. My weakest points might be my wording and intertwining more background into the paper without seeming over whelming.
6. What will you do differently on the next essay assignment?
Next essay assignment I will make sure that I use more analysis and use background so that I could create rhetoric for myself.
