Introduction Of Rhetorical Analysis Process

final, page 4). In this introduction of the Rhetorical Analysis, I was more informative since I included definitions for the naturalism and modernism, which would help the reader understand the analysis of the conventions for the rest of my essay. I also used the whole paragraph as my thesis because it allowed me to mention what lenses I would be analysing throughout the essay followed by a quote from a secondary source giving the conventions of such lenses. The Anteater Writing Guide also helped me to write an insightful introduction because I learned that the introduction has to explain the “because” of my argument that I am planning to explain. Therefore, for every lens that I mentioned, I talked about why it was the best lens to read Yonnondio

In my very first draft of the Building Block, the draft that I did before the draft that I turned in to turnitin.com, I misinterpreted the cameo passage of Yonnondio and I also misinterpreted the Lauter’s quote that I intended to use to support my argument for the cameo passage.

I was wrong because I did not know what the word “de-emphasize” really meant, but Dr. Danner helped me to see that Olsen is not trying to de-emphasize a place in the cameo passage. I did not take in consideration the word “place” in the quote which made me misinterpret the whole quote and also misinterpret the cameo passage. Later, I understood that the cameo passage and classism are used as a criticism towards western society since society was allowing industries to have cruel and dangerous working environments for the poor working class.
