Observation 3

By reading other people's essays and making revisions to my own I have learned several things about my writing. I have learned how to make good rhetorical arguments and how to incorporate specific terms and rhetorical themes into my paper. Having good evidence and thorough examples is another important thing I have realized in reading other's papers. By looking at the comments written about my paper, I was able to go back and make a more detailed analysis, and able to organize my thoughts more clearly. I have also learned the importance of having a strong thesis to support your paper and be a good foundation for all the arguments that muse be made when analyzing a visual text of some sort. The importance of specificity has also been brought to my attention. Making clear arguments is not enough to have a strong paper, one must support those claims with detailed observations and possibly outisde sources. Getting the opportunity to read my classmates papers has given me some direction on what to improve/change about my own paper.
