Lessons learned about rhetorical analysis

 The way you argue your argument is a rhetorical analysis. Rhetorical analysis taught me persuasively argue in 3 different ways. the three different were ethos pathos and logos. If i wanted to persuade  using ethos, you show them how credible you are. Ways you would show that is talking from an unbiased perspective, and experience in the topic counts a lot as well. If I wanted to appeal to someone emotionally I would use pathos. If I wrote a paper and wrote it trying to gain sympathy from my reader, I would be using pathos. Statistics, facts, and citing are characteristics of logos. When i think about a Rhetorical Analysis, I think of evaluating writing.

Reflection on Rhetorical Analysis Peer Review

 

This strategy was a great way to understand what was expected of the Rhetorical analysis. this was around the time when I learned about ethos pathos and logos. by knowing what those three meant, we could successfully critique papers. the sandwich method was learned around this time as well. It was great to learn because I can it  incorporate it in my own paper. Giving and receiving constructive  criticism is always good to me, and the review helped do just that.

Lesson Learned about Objective Summary

I learned a lot using the objective summary strategy. One of the challenging but most beneficial aspects of the objective summary was explaining what the author was saying without giving your opinion. I am a vocal person who likes to give my view about things. An objective summary is based on facts and not too many details. Some things I learned about the objective summary is how to be more factual, how to explain things with no opinion, and how to be straight to the point with not too many details.
