Reflection

I learned quite a bit when writing this paper. When I first wrote my paper, I just wrote down a bunch of tools, and it was not an effective paper. However, when I really looked at the rhetorical situation and applied it to the article, it gave me a whole different perspective. Recognizing the importance of the rhetorical situation in my paper was key to improving my paper. I enjoyed analyzing the article and recognizing different tools they used to convey their message. It was very interesting and I learned how to better communicate using different tools.

I first did the same thing. I just wrote a paper about the tools used and really didn't analyze the paper. But after the peer conference, I learned better how to analyze and I think that both your paper and mine will be successful.

I think we all just listed things the first time around. I don't think any of us have done rhetorical analysis of things before this class so it was kind of nice to learn how to.
