Letter To Professor Kemp: Rhetoric And Composition
Dear professor Kemp,

In Rhetoric and Composition I, I have some thoughts and concerns. My aspirations for this course is to both better my writing and rhetorical analysis while reading. My goal for this course is to better my writing and my vocabulary. As for my concerns, I fear that I will not make the page limit for assignments. Hopefully, I will have enough to write about that this will not be a problem, but it is defiantly a concern.

sincerely,
Adeline Goss

    This political cartoon created by Signe Wilkinson was published in the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2019. This cartoon depicts a female and male soccer team opposite each other, with the female team being treated indifferently, by the Soccer Federation in the centre, despite its substantial success. Through this political cartoon, Wilkinson aims to inform U.S rugby enthusiasts about the Soccer Federation’s indifference in U.S women’s soccer compared to U.S men’s soccer despite the U.S women’s soccer success. Wilkinson achieves this through: emphasising the size of the women’s soccer ball, employing statistics within both the U.S men and women’s soccer ball to demonstrate logos, and highlighting the text on the soccer shoes to encourage change to the treatment of U.S women’s soccer.…

    This Rhetorical analysis essay was very difficult for me to get started but once I did I made many changes before I came into class with my first draft. I started by making a web trying to get my ideas onto paper so that it would eventually make it easier to organize into a paper. I have a hard time with organization so I thought pulling quotes and basic ideas I wanted to bring up in this essay would make it flow a little better. I started out by using the Faigly book to and looking at the layout for how to write a rhetorical analysis. After that I answered all the questions, which then inevitably got put into the outline to help further get my points across. The thing that helped me the most was only writing a little bit at a time rather…

    “Give me liberty or give me death!” Patrick Henry once shouted these words with a passion that fueled a nation into revolution. Burning with intensity in the very depths of his soul for the singular belief that a man should be, free. One hundred and eighty eight years later, the stand continued in a different form. “I have a dream,”, “Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last!” Martin Luther King Jr. Stood before millions with these sayings and confronted the oppressors of his generation, just as Patrick Henry rose up one hundred and eighty eight years ago. Patrick Henry and Martin Luther King Jr. are rebels who stood against tyranny with not armies, but through words. Using the rhetorical devices; pathos, metaphors, and repetition, these two heroes of the word proved that the pen is truly mightier than the sword.…

    My work on Rhetorical Analysis shows my development of the skill recognizing rhetorical aspects in a text. My comfort level with recognizing rhetorical aspects in a text before the assignment was super low due to I am not used to looking closely at the recognizing rhetorical aspects in a text but instead the content of the text. That was clearly shown with the change in direction of my paper from the first draft to my second draft. I moved from looking at the content of the text to recognizing rhetorical aspects in the text. “With the adaptation of analepsis in a non-fiction/memoirs, Sestero wanted to show the readers that you don’t have to follow what is known to be the traditional way of doing things.”…

This Class not only helped enhance my writing abilities but to also better evaluate the writings of others and forced me to acknowledge the rigorous work of future courses in college.…
