My Strengths

I believe that one of my greatest strengths lies in the context of the rhetorical situation. Rhetorical situation is a group of categories that are required to be accounted for whenever a writer writes a his or her writing. These categories are purpose, audience, genre, stance, and design. I thing that I generally do well on all of these things. However, I believe that my strongest strengths are understanding who my audience is going to be, and also expressing my stance on a certain topic.

One of the most strong categories of writing that I posses is giving my stance on a particular issue and then backing up. This is something of which that I know for a fact that I lot of people have issues with across my generation. However, not only do I present and back a stance, I generally believe that I do a fair job at realizing who is actually reading what I am writing. It is crucial to understand this for a lot of things that I write since a lot of it is very controversial. Some of the things that I want to improve on are my word choice, coherence, and unity.

Week 8 Free Writing

I noticed something very puzzling over this fall break. Every year my family takes a trip to Destin over fall break. We all have a great time as long as there are no red flags. And that was the problem with this year. Every single day that I went to the beach, there was a red flag even though the waves were very calm. Upon getting into the water, my feet fell from under me and I fell face first into the sand. It was painful, to say the least. I experienced something called under toe. It is actually very normal, and I was just stupid enough to not expect it. Under toe is caused by the waves that hit the shore and start falling back into the ocean. It creates a very powerful pulling force whenever there are strong waves. If this force is strong enough, then it can be very deadly. So just be careful the next time things look calm and always check the flag color for that day.

Harrison Bergeron Response

Harrison Bergeron is an interesting jab at how the future United States of America would look like. The story is set in 2081, and America has been drastically changed by a new set of amendments. These amendments form a new department of government called the Handicap General. The Handicap General's job is to make sure that all people are on equal grounds in every aspect of life. Harrison Bergeron focuses on a family that has just lost their son to the Handicap General, and their son has started a revolt by claiming to be the emperor. He is shot by a shotgun right after. One interesting part of this story is how America has completely changed from its original values. America was meant for everyone to be equal at the starting line and not the finish line. Being equal at the finishing line completely messes up society as a whole. This is because more people could put in more work than others, and yet still be equal to them. One example of this would be comparing...
