Everything is an Argument
I enjoyed the reading for week 6. I learned more about rhetorical analysis,
which I really didn’t know much about prior to the reading or taking this class. The reading starts off by being very serious
you could say, he –David Brooks- isn’t like other authors we’ve read in the
class that are more easy going and conversational. He starts off by taking
about all the kids that are graduating from college and how are entering a
world that is completely new from anything we have experienced in our years in
school. There is no one there to monitor you and look after you, you have to be
independent and take care of yourself.
The
reading then makes its way into breaking down the structure of writing a
rhetorical analysis. First it discusses how to find a topic, what things you
should look for, for example arguments and current issues/ events. The
researching your topic, it gives specific things to look out for and find to
make sure you have all the information to make your source reliable. Then
formulating a claim by starting with a hypothesis of your side/ belief on what
you’re about to share with your audience. Add in examples of possible claims, prepare
a proposal, think about content you are going to put in and organize, and then
get feedback and responses from piers making sure everything stands up with
your claim and evidence.
