I really enjoyed the article on rhetorical analysis, appreciating the fact that it broke down the idea of communication to, simply, why we use words. I especially liked the essay by Jason Thompson. His essay made rhetorical analysis much easier to understand, causing some kind of a light bulb effect in my head about the first part of the article. At first, I felt somewhat insecure, reading and thinking to myself that I should be understanding this concept. When I finished the article, I realized that I have used some of the methods mentioned, only in slightly different ways and contexts. Although I am still notcompletely confident in my analyical capabilities, I am satisfied knowing that I will be given the chance to sharpen my skills as a writer through the course of this class.
As Dr. McCracken had noted it would, reading the article first helped with the book reading and many of the concepts and terms used within the first chapter.
I am very much looking forward to working within the community for non-profit organizations, but am still unsure on how we will be going about finding organizations to work with.
