The picture above reflects how I felt about my assignment. The minimum words for the assignment was 600 words and I somehow managed to write nearly 1200 words. Looking over my work, I knew I had to shorten my assignment. And after an hour and a half, I had only managed to take out 200 words. This I believe was a big flaw of my paper but not only that, my research I did led me down a difficult recovery road. Prior to doing this assignment, I had looked up what a rhetorical analysis was. This can be found in my planning page.\u00a0https:\/\/eportfolios.isucomm.iastate.edu\/bsmlatic\/2017\/09\/06\/planning-for-the-rhetorical-analysis-assignment\/. In the planning post, I actually defined pretty much exactly what they ask me to do which is analyze the writer’s techniques and persuasive skills. However, for whatever reason I decided to forget about my planning and began writing about the article in general. I believe I summarized the article along with exploring my author’s writing techniques. This wasn’t what was needed, \u00a0and I should have just taken out the summary part or kept it very brief. A few things that I think I didn’t completely screw up was my attention to detail. Sure I wrote a lot but the things that I did write about, I made sure to fully explain my thoughts and my ideas. Going into detail can be a good thing because it provides a clear picture of what the author is really trying to do. Another thing I actually altered from my rough draft to the complete draft was I added in headers for the first time. I usually don’t put headers into my papers because we had always been taught not too, but I decided they did organize the paper really well so I added those in. One thing I’ll definitely fix in the future is my APA style. I am almost 100% sure I messed this part up but to be truthful, I don’t know how to do the style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
