Observation 6

In writing my encomium, I learned how to rhetorically highlight negative aspects of a person or thing. I found this technique to be surprisingly difficult. It will prove helpful when writing my research paper because abortion is not always something that people view as "good" or "positive". It is a controversial topic that is surrounded by negative media and is used as a swaying weapon in politics. Trying this creative writing assignment has helped me practice my rhetoric techniques to persuade or inform an audience about a negatively viewed topic, such as abortion.
