Essay#1 Reflection
I believe writing is a beautiful way of expressing your thoughts in a paper when sometime no one wants to hear. I was eager to write about abortion and learn so many things along the way. It felt like becoming an expert in the field. At first, I was rushed to find the sources which I thought would make things more difficult but it turned out perfectly. The rhetorical analysis helped me understand what the author is trying to project and inform. I really liked the feedback part. I received feedback from a student and the professor, which was very helpful since I was not knowledgeable of some recurring mistakes I made throughout the paper. This contradicted what I knew and what I learned when writing this essay. I learned that I tend to write very long sentences that then make my argument unclear. I also thought it was really stressful because the essay requires a lot of focus and time. It took me three or four days to finish this essay when normally it takes only one. The strategies I took were bullet points, shortcuts, explaining one thing at the time, googling questions. I would analyze the article into all categories of rhetorical analysis. Also, something I did that was helpful was, googling some questions about rhetorical analysis to have as a reference when writing. The process was great, but I always felt in stress to finish the assignments since the class is asynchronous. I would say the process worked for me, although I felt slightly rushed when writing which made things stressful for me.
