Project 2 Outline

In this post I will be talking about a reading and how it help develop my outline for project 2. I will also be providing an outline of my paper to both help me and so you can see how I am moving forward.

I found that the most helpful parts for me were the thesis, body and conclusion. I have always found it somewhat difficult to write a thesis when it comes to analyzing rhetoric, but this section helped me by giving me a question to answer. By being able to just answer a question, the thesis became a lot simpler. I have also found it somewhat difficult to transition between paragraphs and concluding paragraphs. These two problems were addressed by the section entitles body and again gave me a somewhat easy question for each paragraph that I could easily answer. Finally in the conclusions section I found the entire conclusion section helpful because I used to only restate the thesis and then add a couple extrapolations from the analysis or connect it to other areas of study, but the section gave a lot more ways to write a conclusion and in turn made it a lot easier to write.
