Reflection on Project 2

In this post I will be discussing my drafting and revision processes for the rhetorical analysis essay using several questions from the book Writing Public Lives.

  • I really began to revise clarity issues and not focusing on the main topics in each of my body paragraphs from one draft to another, and then also grammar and punctuation.
  • My first thesis consisted of getting all of my ideas on paper and then editing. I figured the best revisions were the ones that focused more on the strategies relations with both the author and the audience and focusing specifically on those three things.
  • These changes were brought on by a narrowization of my thesis and focusing more a few specific things.
  • I think that when I narrowed my thesis it made both my thesis and entire paper more clear and in turn making my credibility as an author better.
  • I think that these changes will focus more on what the audience needs than what I want for the audience. Since this essay is supposed to be informative, I don't want it informative just for me but I wanted it to be more centered around the audience's needs.
  • I mainly focused on clarity and punctuation when providing local revisions as well as staying on topic throughout an entire paragraph.
  • I think that these local revisions will help my audience understand the point I am trying to get across better as well as making the entire essay more fluid.
  • No I mainly knew what kind of conventions were expected from this writing style because it is very similar to nearly every other kind of analysis essay out there.
  • I think my reflection process helped me in understanding that my writing style is the kind that needs a lot of revisions and discussion with people to actually put my thoughts into clear coherent sentences. So I definitely fall in the Heavy reviser section
