This reading was very interesting in how it put many things into an analogy. The first read was about how you are to separate your paper and compares it to a sandwich that you put in your lunch pale. This was a unique way to put your paper even though this analogy has been used by teachers nation wide. One thing that stood out to me in the next section was when it was talking about emotion and it said that it was hard to control emotion. This is so true because so many writers put very intense words into a sentence that could go without any intense words and vise versa. This is very good advice when writing a paper because we try to use really big words and it could be so much better if we were to use simple words. Then at the end it says we have to find a balance and it just says that a balance of ethos, pathos, and logos can really transform a paper and make it even better. In the argument section it talks about choosing a good argument and know both sides of it. You really need to focus on this in an argument because if you are completely biased on one side, you will not know what the other side is going to throw at you. The rest of the reading focused a lot on arguing and bringing up a good point and in my paper about obesity it is going to be difficult in knowing what both sides present.
This book is really funny. It keeps trying to compare parts of English to random things. You mentioned it made a comparison to a sandwich and this is not the first time it has made a weird comparison that I have seen.
ReplyDeleteI like what you have to say about knowing both sides, because I personally have in the past had trouble seeing the other side of an argument... resulting in a lower than appreciated grade. I hope you are able to use these things you talked about in your paper, and good luck!
