Blog Week 12B: Just like a Vacation!
A continuation from Blog Week 12A, once you have landed at your desired destination, next comes a game plan in the sightseeing. The organization skills you planned before making the trip will be put to good use. The research would have made the sightseeing easier in the decision of what should be first and so on. These tools will assist you in writing a well-developed essay. The classification and division will come into play for the well-organized paper. This will allow the reader and writer to stay together as one. Exploring one site may have a few popular sites within, therefore you divide up that one site. Remember classification and division are breakdowns of the subject. Immediately, while you are touring the foreign place the objects, people, and places come in as exceptional visuals. It is your eyes first time laying sight on all the diverse objects. Your memory and camera takes pictures of all the extraordinary sites. Visual rhetoric is the tool being used in your essay to share with your audience. This tool helps your audience imagine all the sites, objects, and people you experienced while on your vacation. Traveling to a foreign place can automatically trigger compare and contrast between your homeland and the destination of your choosing. It is human nature to see what others have and what we may not. As humans we take for granted our environment and sometimes we are bored of it. We travel to exotic places and become in awe with the natives environment, but the natives feel the same way we did before we left on vacation, about their own environment. Compare and Contrast definitely benefits the reader dissect two subjects similiarities and differences. Sometimes a little vacation fixes our taking for granted, because once we arrive back home, the Wasatch Mountains are Magnificent Again!
Your Week 9A entry was outstanding!! The way in which you outlined everything was very well done. I also enjoyed seeing how you tied this entry into previous entries.The bullet points really provided a great idea of what I should be doing in my own writing. The post was detailed and provided a lot of specific examples. When combined with Week 8A, Week 9A really helps me to understand these ideas.
ReplyDelete"The Importance of an Intro: Blog Week 10A" was also good, but I found it to be a little brief. I understand that introductions are important, but I think that perhaps your explanation of that concept could use a little more information. Perhaps some specific examples of a really good introduction from works that we would be familiar with would help the audience to understand the topic a little better. Also a little more detail on what each piece of the introduction should accomplish would be nice.
