I believe that writing is ones way to express their thoughts, but also organizing them. when you have a lot on your mind, writing is a great way to let it all out. with this class i’ve learned that writing is more than educational and bland. people have different reasons to write and most of the time it has nothing to do with information. with the sources i’ve researched, the authors wrote their pieces with the hopes of educating their audiences and allowing themselves to empty out their heads. for my own writing, i started out with a separate brainstorm. in school i was taught to simply let out all of my thoughts onto paper first. i knew which topic i wanted to write about so i listed the pros & cons of the sources that i used so i can ultimately make the decision of “should i use this source or will it confuse me later on?” i ended up finding 9 sources but of course i was only able to use 4. using a brainstorming strategy really helped me with my writing process. i think my writing could’ve been more better if i focused on organizing the sources separately. i could’ve approached this assignment with separate brainstorms instead of fitting it all into one paper. nonetheless, i think my writing was successful because it was my first time writing a five-paged paper and I was able to complete it by the deadline. this assignment challenged my writing abilities and i am looking forward to the next assignment and how i can improve my work from there.

Through writing we can learn about the different thoughts and ideas of each person and different approaches and views towards a certain matter. The topic of a piece of writing can be explored to the smallest issues within the topic, then telling others about your understanding of the topic so that they can understand the purpose and idea behind the writing is what I believe is necessary for a good piece of writing. Not only that, rhetorical analysis is the best factor that can improve the understanding of the essay. Secondly, finding credible information can improve the accuracy of the essay. After going through the first time of writing, I found out that it is not as simple as I thought it would be, it needs to find credible enough sources to find out its purpose from the data. And it needs clear positions and evidence to prove its arguments. However, I didn’t do well in this area. I didn’t find enough evidence to prove its theme in my first essay. And my grasp of grammar and tenses was inadequate, which was a constant concern. But with my professor’s revisions and suggestions, I learned how to write correctly about the position of the essay, and the genre of the essay, to explain specifically why they were there. All of this helped me with my writing and quickly helped me understand the main message and focus of the essay.

Through writing, we want to make sure we provide our thoughts and ideas in a clear way which pertain to the subject we are writing about. An essential part of a good literary work is having an interest or passion in the ideas we are showcasing as writers. When we are writing, we must make sure we are attempting to fulfill everything that is required for that piece. We should also be able to showcase our purpose and the intended audience for that literary work, as well as gather sufficient research or evidence in order to provide a well written piece. In this assignment, our purpose was to rhetorically analyze four different sources and connect them to a single social conflict. The strategies I used were to gather my ideas and try to organize them in a way for the readers to understand the purpose. For my first draft, I showcased the different elements of a rhetorical analysis in separate sections in order to have my ideas organized. After having received feedback about areas where I can improve on, I chose to organize my ideas into an essay format. From this experience, I was able to improve in the way I elaborate on certain ideas that I bring up throughout the essay.  I believe the feedback I received has helped me improve the way I analyzed the articles by finding better quotes to support my ideas as well as connecting different sources together to show the importance of those articles. As I continue writing, I know that I can make further improvements in many aspects in order to become a better writer.

I believe writing is a way of communicating with others to express your ideas and conclusions toward certain things. It lets our audience to receive the knowledge through our work because it is a part of another way of expressing your voice. However, as writing has not always been one of my strengths, it is sometimes hard for me to write a good essay. But I believe that having good writing should mostly focus on grammar, and the capacity to show your purpose to the audience, so they can know what you are trying to say after they read your work. Writing a rhetorical analysis with many sources accompanied is my first-time experience, but I think it has got better from the very beginning time when we wrote it as a practice. However, after finishing the final draft of this essay, I have learned more about the processes to justify my work when I try to give data and awareness to people, by applying evidence, purpose, and different elements in an analysis. Moreover, the strategies I used for this essay were to follow the guidelines, add references, and revise many times as possible to make sure it applies the purpose of my work. After that, I think these processes were good, but not perfect because I believe it might always occur mistakes which I probably did not know. However, this essay has helped me a lot to know my weaknesses, but also to improve them through practices and hard work. It has helped me to advance my writing after the process of peer-reviewed, and advice from the instructor, which have helped me to get to know more about my level of writing.
