Friday catching up and soon to get ahead

High school tends to talk about the understanding of material with analysis and tends to be less in depth. The writting assignments tend to be shorter and less complex with little use of MLA format. College writting tends to be deeper analysis whilst the scope is broader often involving tons more research and long essay's. Magdalena talks about how first person is not replaceable in college writting for research. Which shows how similar college and highschool is because in both you can use first person pronouns (Magdalena 180).

Boyd uses very persuasive rhetorical strategies in her essay. She mentions how to start be like a detective and visualize five facts and then visualize whilst writting for five or so minutes as if I was the detective (Boyd 88). What also helps is the fact that the steps are outlined for easy consumption of knowledge. It was stated how does it begin and end, what details do I add and what details did I get rid of (Boyd 88).

  An argument that I will be using for my doc2 is persuasion public argument. In the Jones' essay she talked about how public arguments are not meant to mislead people, but they tend to be discussions instead of arguments that are really opinions or a spin on some topics(Jones 158). This will work because it will be like the news stations, they have a lot of opinions nowadays, and those opinions might be treated as fact to help persuade people to join aviation. In my starting paragraph for Doc2 I mention how aviation is always evolving and presents a CAPTIVATING career path for people with a passion, love adventure, and have a desire to make their mark on the world(Santiago 1). All of that is true, but it is overly fantasizing what we will actually be doing. All of these things combined is why I will be able to sway my intended audience.

  The rhetorical context of my Doc2 is to inform/persuade students interested in aviation why they should decide to do flight.  My Doc2 uses a persuasion and some imagery to promote aviation flight as a solid career choice. Gemini Highlighted the excitement, global opportunities, and financial rewards of aviation flight. There is also alot of skill development, constant learning, and it is easy to inspire future generations to decide to fly. In the book "Backpacks vs. Brieftcases," Carroll asked, "Is the rhetoric targeted at an audience who has the power to make change?" I saw that and decided to make my Gemini document reflect the people that I wanted to inform and influence to choose a career in aviation flight which are highschool and college students. Gemini did help in this blog post only because you mentioned it.

Using outside sources in academic writing is a must, and in my opinion in any type of writing you should have some type of source. Mike Bunn did swimmingly well with how many different types of sources he used. If I am not mistaken he used 6 different sources and incorporated them very well into his writing. I really didn't notice any big jumps in his sentences to where it was very obvious where he used different sources. It all flowed very well in my opinion. I am not very good at finding techniques, but some things I noticed is he did the normal(,".") and then also he provided one about a student saying something: Ex: whatever the student said. Which was on page 85 if that helps. I basically use the same quotes as he does but on a much simpler scale. One quote I used in doc1 was  In the report Why Do We Procrastinate? 12 Psychological reasons behind it , Leon Ho listed, "Being a perfectionist... Lacking self-control... Overwhelmed by tasks...Being Lazy.” What I did...

  The rhetorical situation in Doc 1 that I chose was procrastination, and as the writer I am trying to convey to you the reader why procrastination needs to be fixed. The resource I used was gemini to help give me an overview of my topic. I am creating this 800 word essay to learn ways to more effectively reduce or completely halt any procrastination I have which will in return allow me to get work in on time especially since I already am starting off behind. My doc 1 starts off with reasons as to why most people procrastinate. Five reasons mentioned were fear of failure, lack of motivation, overwhelmed, poor time management, and perfectionism. These are very common factors which in talking about allowed me to write strategies to help fix these problems. One way was to break down tasks because it makes the overall task easier to look at and start chipping away. One way to overcome procrastination as show by Sarah is to create planners and a timeline to complete the work. She also s...
