Lessons learned about rhetorical analysis

 The way you argue your argument is a rhetorical analysis. Rhetorical analysis taught me persuasively argue in 3 different ways. the three different were ethos pathos and logos. If i wanted to persuade  using ethos, you show them how credible you are. Ways you would show that is talking from an unbiased perspective, and experience in the topic counts a lot as well. If I wanted to appeal to someone emotionally I would use pathos. If I wrote a paper and wrote it trying to gain sympathy from my reader, I would be using pathos. Statistics, facts, and citing are characteristics of logos. When i think about a Rhetorical Analysis, I think of evaluating writing.

Reflection on Rhetorical Analysis Peer Review

 

This strategy was a great way to understand what was expected of the Rhetorical analysis. this was around the time when I learned about ethos pathos and logos. by knowing what those three meant, we could successfully critique papers. the sandwich method was learned around this time as well. It was great to learn because I can it  incorporate it in my own paper. Giving and receiving constructive  criticism is always good to me, and the review helped do just that.

Lesson Learned about Objective Summary

I learned a lot using the objective summary strategy. One of the challenging but most beneficial aspects of the objective summary was explaining what the author was saying without giving your opinion. I am a vocal person who likes to give my view about things. An objective summary is based on facts and not too many details. Some things I learned about the objective summary is how to be more factual, how to explain things with no opinion, and how to be straight to the point with not too many details.

A synthesis paper consists of more quotes than personal experience. You are summarizing and critiquing in a synthesis paper.  A rhetorical analysis contains no quotes, it is personally based. you are telling what the author is trying to say, or their view on something but not quoting them.

What made this paper hard to write for me was putting quotes in my paper. All the quotes were beneficial, but choosing the most important were kind of hard, and too many quotes wouldnt have made my paper good. This paper was easiest to me when i was able to add my own information to it. I love giving my opinion about things. synthesis is used normally for me, because i get into a lot of debates, which blatantly requires me to give my opinion, and depending on the situation i might quote someone or something important to support my statements.

This video was a brief summary of the case of Troy Davis given by Judge Mathis. Judge Mathis gave his perspective on how he felt about the situation. He felt the case was unfair.
