Once again I really liked the process by which we did the paper. I liked having several drafts due weeks before the actual paper is due. This process has made me realize that I would turn in a rough draft for another class as a final paper. My papers are so much better when I have had time to work on the original draft. Maybe for future papers in other classes I will make rough draft deadlines for myself.
As far as the paper goes, I really liked being able to pick my own topic in the book. Because we were encouraged by Chris to read and reread the article, I must have read that article about 20 times! At first I thought it was really well done, and then as I continued to read it I realized that it was not a good article at all. The audience that the authors were trying to appeal to were confusing and overall it didn't appeal to logos, ethos, or pathos well at all. This paper also really helped to to grasp the concepts of theses broad terms. Because I had to deeply analyze them in my paper I understand them a lot better then I did before! Overall I really liked the process of writing this paper and look forward to seeing my grade!
