While creating my rhetorical analysis paper I used all of my typical writing processes. I began this assignment by selecting a commercial that I thought would be the most appealing in the superbowl. After selecting my commercial I did some research at the library using EBSCOhost. I then created an outline on what my paper would be about and pieced all of its parts together. In the future I will try to recieve help earlier on because at first I struggled to understand what the purpose of the paper was. Eventually I was able to figure it out on my own with research and through asking peers, but it would've been a lot easier to just ask for an advisors or instructors help.

Finally within the text I broke down the main components of Ethos and Pathos in the paper and how it strengthened the ad.
At first it took me awhile to understand what to write the paper on, but while watching the Super Bowl I had the idea to select an advertisement from there. The most challenging aspect of this paper is I still don't really understand what the purpose and use of writing such a paper is. I know how to break it down into specific appeals such as ethos and logos, but I struggled in using this to create an effective argument. Because of this I feel as though I created to many blunt statements proving little to no evidence to support any of my
