Assignment 8
I found some things
very interesting in my peers writing; One of my peers brought up something about subtle persuasions
on Orleans part. It makes sense because Orlean does not just shove her purpose
in your face she allows you to go either way with or against taxidermy. I think
the writer where able because he looked past the subject of taxidermy and
looked how it was formatted and seen that there wasn’t really a full fledge
purpose statement.
I found my writing different because I focused more on the Quotes
and where they were paced in Orleans article. The next time I write an essay I am
going to proceed with the steps I take and look at the subject itself and then i
would like to look at the format and see why the writer choose to write like
this.
The audience for my essay is defiantly one that’s NOT
against taxidermy. I have no problem with taxidermy and it shows in my essay. I
would also like to expand my audience by making my essay less one sided which
would allow me create a better overall essay. My tone is intrigued because I
was interested in the facts that Orlean brought up in her Article. I believe my
essay is set apart because I focused on why Orlean choose her quotes and where
they are placed in her article; also how do they go along with her purpose and
does it help or hurt purpose statement.
I think you have the right approach. It's important to understand the topic first before you look for writerly choices. (You can't understand the choices an author makes if you don't understand the topic they are talking about.)
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you want to make your essay less one-sided. That's a quality of a good writer. Sometimes I like to think about addressing my audience as if we're having a conversation. Much like group work, for example, where everyone has a different opinion. You have to convince them that your opinion is the best without offending them or ignoring their ideas too.
