At this stage in my writing process I have chosen two articles in which I will be discussing how rhetoric writing is used to persuade the reader to think a certain way. I have spent a few hours on this assignment thus far and have almost completed my outline. While at first, I thought the topic was something that was important, as I spend more time with this paper I began to develop the true purpose of the assignment which i believe is to learn how authors use rhetoric writing to develop your own point of view. The focus of the paper is on the writing and how it is being shown to the reader rather than the topic.
