Ellen Edward September 19, 2012 I spent between one and two hours planning this writing assignment.

Most of my time was spent organizing my thoughts into what I wanted my readers to get out of this paper. After I had an idea about where I wanted to go I spent about two hours typing up my draft. I knew it wasnt the best piece of work I had ever written but it was a draft so I knew id come back to it with feedback from my peers. The strength of my paper was probably me stating the propaganda devices and rhetoric devices the speaker of my speech was using. When I first read the speech it became so clear to me that she was using pathos and not ethos, little things like that were fun to figure out and I think I portrayed that nicely in my paper. I think my weakness of my paper was that I wasnt too sure how much commentary I should add. I also had trouble making my paper flow, I absolutely hate choppy work so when I commit this said crime I get mad at myself, I did do everything I could however to make it flow. I want my readers to feel aware of how propaganda devices and rhetoric devices that speech writers use can manipulate you, without you even thinking twice about it. Even though my speech had rhetoric devices it wasnt like the speech writer was slamming someone down or spitting false truths, thats what I liked most out of my political speech, and I hope my readers notice that. The kind of feedback Im really hoping to get are the punctuation errors and if the paper even made sense. I have a feeling ill want to revise my paper for my portfolio so maybe if you could critique my paper by telling me to expand my vocabulary on the paper or something that would be great.
