Journal 13
I can use my writing process outside of the classroom for writing essays for job applications or anything like that. I can also use this process to help me organize my thoughts or ideas because the writing process includes the organization of ideas and information.
Journal 12
The rhetorical analysis paper was the most challenging for me this semester because I am bad at writing papers and this one was just overall pretty difficult for me to do.
I think my writing process has improved because now I have a more in-depth process that actually helps my final draft be more improved than my rough draft.

It is important to evaluate a source because you need to know if it is credible or not. I would say that that was the most important thing from the reading as well.
Being reminded of this, I will now remember to look deeper into a source before I decide to use it or not because I want the information I am using to be reliable and not false.
I might avoid just using general searches on the internet, and instead turn to using our library or scholarly articles. I could also look up the author of articles that I find on the internet and see if they are credible or not.

The link above goes directly to my “title page” I created for the article “Relax, You Don’t Need to ‘Eat Clean’” by Aaron E. Carroll.
https://www.vice.com/en/article/zmvwb4/eating-clean-wont-make-you-any-healthier
Above is the link to an article that supports my chosen article. It is written by Michael Easter, it is written for the general public and it uses logos, or logic, to convince the audience why eating clean is a bunch of crap basically.

I saw this on social media a couple days ago, actually. I had to search it up on google images because it was something that came to mind when I read the journal prompt. The audience is for the general public and the purpose is basically to say that eating ice cream makes you fat.
The image, in my opinion, uses pathos because it can trigger an emotional response. It shows something that you probably love (the ice cream aspect of it), and also shows the thing a lot of us do not love (the being fat aspect of it). By doing this, it may trigger a fear related response.
This graphic uses contrast because what they want you to look at is front and center, and is not filled with any other random things that would confuse you as to what you should be paying attention to.
It does not use repetition because there is only one image on this graphic.
It does and does not use alignment. It is centered, so that is why I believe it uses alignment. It does not use alignment because there is not anything else to align with, so there is not a flow to which the viewer will go about looking at this graphic, besides looking right at the picture in the center.
I said that they did use proximity in a way because they chose to combine ice cream and the idea of it causing you to be obese into one single image, but they are not similar, so you could also say they did not use proximity.
This image helps me understand how people tend to use ads in a negative way to persuade their audience one way or another about health and the decisions people make affect them.

While reading “How to Write the Perfect Sentence”, there was one thing that really stuck out to me. It was when the Author said, “A line of words should unfold in space and time, not reveal itself all at once, for the simple reason that it cannot be read all at once.” This stuck out to me because I feel as if I tend to shove as much information in the smallest amount of space as possible. I am not quite sure why I do this or when I started doing this, but after reading that, it made me realize that I should try to “slow down” my writing. I mean that when I am writing, I should space out my information and fill that space with simple writing so that the reader can absorb all the information rather than being all of a sudden overwhelmed with a pile of information all in like two sentences.
Journal 6
When going through the revision process, I find that grammar checks, the revisor pointing out when I get off topic or when things get confusing, and just general help with the introduction and conclusion paragraphs are the most helpful to me.
Personally, I like all the feedback I can get, so there is no type that I find to be unhelpful. I find all feedback helpful, no matter how harsh it is. I mean actually, the harsher and more specific, the better.
Journal 4
Something that surprised me from this article was that it told me to use the inverted pyramid for information. Meaning that I should have all the general information in the top and then all the super detailed information in the bottom. I just feel like I would want it all mixed in. As in having some general information then followed by more specific details about that information. I think I can incorporate a couple of these into my writing. One would be being more aware of my audience when I am writing because that can drastically change how I choose to word things or present the information. Another one would be the inverted pyramid method because they way they give the information is more appealing to the readers, which is always the goal. I think these techniques are important because they can help create more interest between the reader and your writing, just by the way you present it.

My pre-writing process consists of me brainstorming on a piece of paper, which if you look at the paper after, it will look like a bunch of random words/short phrases covering the page, making absolutely no sense. After that, I organize all my thoughts and begin to put it into an outline. For revision, I like to find someone who I look up to in respect to writing, my older sister for example, and ask them to review my work. Then I normally like to have a peer help me look at it one last time. Starting out with brainstorming my ideas is the most useful to me in my writing process because it takes my mind away from writing and just breaks it down to just jotting down ideas on the topic, which helps stop me from becoming overwhelmed looking at the whole assignment. I would like to improve my revision process because I believe it needs more work to make my final product a solid one.
