I'm reviewing Teresa Nguyen's ePortfolio.
Side note: I had no idea she did mine as well! Ha. As I've said before...
planning is kind of my thing. I always try to have a plan for my plan. When writing my Rhetorical Analysis, I began by creating an outline for each paragraph, even my thesis sentence. This seems to be the best way for me to work efficiently. I found myself stumped a few times over forming my perspective on the piece. Once I had an understanding, words were flowing and my thoughts began to make sense on the screen. Two weeks ago I would have told myself: "You're going to critique every last word you write, so you might want to start this now." And also: "High school AP English can't save you!!!" --> This one mainly because I thought I knew all there is to know about Ethos, Pathos, and Logos.... ha ha ha at me. Generally, I remain very productive when I am doing school work because I have other things I would rather be doing; as does everyone. However, in writing this, I've realized that productivity is a gradual thing, and each time I sit down to write a paper I need to remember that it isn't going to be finished and sparkling. Good things take time, and it's okay to revise multiple times. Feedback from my student conference encouraged me to be vulnerable with my writing, and that I don't have to hide my work due to the fear of it not being perfect. From that interaction, I was able to walk away with useful tools such as de-fluffing, a general understanding to Kairos, and the confidence to properly form an opening paragraph (thesis included). Overall, this assignment was a great introduction to what the rest of the semester will look like, and it makes me excited to know that I will be able to be creative and personable with [most of] my work. 3 questions regarding my first draft to the rhetorical analysis essay:
1) Am I using Kairos properly? Do I have a clear understanding on how to depict the use? 2) Are my thoughts clear and concise? Do I have enough examples to make clear arguments? 3) Am I interpreting the writing the way it was intended to be interpreted?
Humor is always intriguing to me - how a creator goes about trying to make their audience laugh varies person to person, and most of the time, I read humorous tones well.
George Watsky did a great job catching his viewers' attention by being quick and witty, while also speaking on relevant blips. Whenever Watsky put in coy and/or raunchy jokes while speaking about Manhattan, KS ("little apple", "s*****y pizza"), he was channeling his younger crowd, which is a great platform to reach to spread his message: when you are passionate about something, you find ways to entertain certain crowds so that they can better understand the main point or issue you are trying to speak on. I resinate with this message in a way; I am incredibly passionate about social and environmental issues, and not everyone I am close with sees where I come from until I put the issue into a better perspective for them so that they can fully engage. George Watsky made me a bit sad when he touched on the reality of traveling solo gig to gig - it exemplifies the reality to life. To do something fully that you love, you have to make sacrifices, and sometimes, that means doing life alone. |
