In this essay, I reflect on the Literacy Narrative, Non-Academic Discourse, Rhetorical Analysis, Genre Experiment 1, and Genre Experiment 2 assignments in terms of how they have prompted me to utilize and enhance my reading and writing competences.

Regarding reading skills, I carefully studied the instructor’s instructions to properly understand the topic and expected paper. I then embarked on the task of creating a paper that observes established rules of grammar and is understandable. I integrated certain terminologies that are specific to the field of skydiving.

Haas And Flower Rhetorical Analysis

274 Words | 2 Pages

The Synopsis that I gathered from Haas and Flowers’ “Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning” was none the less another interesting read. Experienced readers might come to understand that both reading and writing can be “context-rich, situational, and have constructive acts”. Though a large number of students may find reading and writing more or less to be an exchange of valued or non-valued information. Continuing on, multiple studies that have been conducted have also found that on average 77 percent of experienced readers tend to use content strategies to expand their knowledge of the reading. These strategies usually include vigorous annotations of the reading/writing that have been shown to improve the readers/writers’ comprehension of the material.

The topics in the book range from inequality of the sexes to social classes and racism, Stockett is successful in getting the reader to reflect while reading the book and the themes of the book have a clear presence. We see Stockett use ethos and pathos in the very first chapters when we learn that Hilly doesn't like Minny and Minny doesn't want to say why at first, but the incident with Ms. Holbrook was affecting her chances of getting a job because of the influence Hilly has over this suburban society.

I have chosen to create an online article about the issue of women in advertising for the “Health and Beauty” section of The Guardian. Having watched Jean Kilbourne’s documentary “Killing Us Softly 4,” I realized there is intense gender bias in our society, specifically discrimination towards women in the advertisements I would see throughout the day. Also, reading Joyce Carol Oate’s short sotry, “Where are you going, Where have you been?” helped me formulate a better understanding of how popular culture creates a singular identity. In my article, I tried to use all three of Aristotle’s rhetorical appeal techniques.

The reading and writing practices of the book, Writing about Writing, and the class ENG 1301, create a sense of identity to writing rather than the basic teachings. Within the book and the class practices, they value the involvement of different perspectives and their understandings. While many students and my past experiences, hold only grammar mistakes and flow. The book and the class want us the readers to understand that we will not be learning how to write through steps, but more through our own understanding of our different writing and reading styles.
