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.

One of the things that I most improved on while doing this paper were my citation skills. That was definitely something that I had almost no experience in until writing the research paper. The writing project that I had the most trouble with was the literary analysis. I really did believe that the paper would have been the death of me. One of the main reasons for this is because I had a very strong feeling about the book that I couldn't necessarily put into writing (or say for that matter). This is because I ...

America's Gun Problem, Explained (Not Really, and I Actually Explain Why)

I chose an article from Vox. Vox has been known to many as a reliable news source and has been cited by multiple politicians is the end all be all of news sources. The article which is titled America's gun problem, explained , attempts to give a large number of statistics and then links these "facts" together to form a statement (I will come to this statement later). There is also a video from Vox that accompanies the article, and I will include all of the facts and statements that they make there into this blog. The first claim that Vox makes is that America's gun problem is completely unique compared to the rest of the developed world. They do this by comparing homicide rates between countries (in the article) and by comparing mass shooting occurrences between countries (in the video). After this claim, they then go on to claim that more guns means more death. They even show an entire chart of all of the states and shows that a larger percentage of legal gun owner...
