ENG170: Writing and Rhetoric

When researching and writing about my topic for my cultural analysis paper my opinion about it didn’t really change much. I did learn more information about Nerf’s history and creation that interested me because I haven’t heard about that before. When I write essays, I usually get my initial thoughts on the page first and then look through for grammar errors and sentences that don’t make sense. I am doing better at reading out loud to make sure my writing makes sense to other readers. Afterall, the reader must be able to understand the topic I have researched and wrote about. Grammar errors such as proper comma placement has gotten easier for me to understand when I use them in my writing. My main focus for revising was to make sure I was reading out loud after and during my writing process. It’s a lot of rereading and adding more context to information already in the writing to make sure the revision is the best it can be.
