Progress on the Movie

The project is going very well. Everyone is doing there jobs which is making things run smoothly. We are basing our skit of the Enzyte commercials and the style of 50's movies with the voice over. Hopefully we can get some old music to play in the background to give it more of an old effect. The first shooting of our movie is on Tuesday so hopefully we can have this project done so it can be crisp and clean to show to the class.

Advertise Yourself

As I read through the Norton Field Guide to Writing I was astonished by what writing a rhetorical essay is all about. Not only is it just an average writing project it is and advertising add. How do you grab people to read your article and state it in a convenience way is what it is all about. You could be the best writer in the world but if you can't make it entertaining for audience they more then likely wont read it. To make it easy and entertaining you can start with simple things. Your heading is a major one, whether it be the font type or size all goes into play to grab someones attention. Also your phrase in your header. Does it grab someones attention or is it an ordinary one some one would look right past?
Also when presenting information you need to sell yourself in a away. Your speech has to have structure and the presence of you knowing what your talking about. You also might want to add a couple of pictures to allow your audience to connect. Maybe a picture will say more then what ever you say to the audience. When picking a picture however keep the picture relevant to the topic at hand. All will add to the pull of the audience.

Paragraph Structure: The Pain For the Readers

AHHH! Vigorously I sweated over starting my essay. Should I start with a question or and aggressive attention getter? This indecisiveness plagued my mind on how to start the introductory sentence. Has this scene ever happened to you? I can personally say this is always a reoccurring barrier when I try to write a paper. The reason it is so hard is because you want to lead your reader through your paper smoothly. You do not want to lead them astray on what the subject is, or have them completely lose interest. By starting of with a fast past writing you can entice your reader to want more, or take interest in what you are trying to say. Like the essay about Women in science, the author asked a question to perk the reader's interest. I also did this with the question I stated at the beginning of the paragraph. There are many ways to try to get interest but the best way is your title or a topic sentence.
Titles allow the reader to understand what they are about to read. Also, titles can be used to grab a target audience's attention. This also can be said about topic sentences in paragraphs. They need to be creative and grab the readers attention while providing a reader the guide to read your paper. Allowing the reader the ease in which to read will insure they will read the text. Even though you as an author go through pain to create a great paragraph for your reader, it is worth it. Nobody wants to read a boring paragraph or essay, so grab your readers attention.

How Do You Look At Cause And Effect?

Reading through these three chapters, I gained a new perspective on cause and affect. When reading a cause and effect paper I am going to start to look for structure. How did the writer structure the essay to better state a point. Did he specifically highlight the points like one of the reading in the book. By italics or bold lettering did the author highlight the effects. Also, the author can categorize the material. All this goes in effect to give the proposal. Another tactic is the defining of words, which in reality categorizes them too. So thanks to reading these chapters I can now deliberate what the important information is and what is the useless information.
