My Rhetoric Paper


My Rhetoric Paper

                This visual rhetoric paper has been a very interesting paper to write about.  I enjoyed searching for an interesting advertisement to write about and learning new things about how an article really says more than how it presents itself.  I have learned how to analyze every single part of an article and talk about the all the emotions that are expressed, whether if it is shown physically or it has to be thought about.  I have learned the difference between ethos, logos, and pathos.  I have also learned that the supposed “Kodiak snapshot” will most of the time be set up so that it can be “the perfect moment.”  This way it can relate to our emotions better.

                The difficulty of this paper was definitely finding the right words to analyze the article.  It was difficult for me to really know the full emotions from first glance.  I understood how to analyze every aspect of my article, but having to explain what every part was pretty difficult for me. It was also difficult for me to categorize the emotions as whether they were ethos, logos, or pathos.  However, towards the end of the paper, I understood better and was able to write better. 

                The ways that I can improve my next paper is to not procrastinate as much.  On my next paper, I need to start on it whenever it is assigned, not whenever I absolutely have to do it.  With not procrastinating, it will also help me improve my grammar and my sentence structures.  I will be able to explain my thoughts better and not feel rushed.  I will have more time to get more feedback from others and I will be able to have a better paper.  This paper has been very interesting paper to research and write about.
