Finding Evidence
This article gave the reader a basic understanding of everything you need to know to collect informative evidence for a research paper. In the beginning of the article, the writer mentions how the rhetorical situation is very important to collecting effective data. If the evidence found doesn’t have any connections to the circumstances of the question being asked then it isn’t useful. The rest of the article talks about finding data and collecting your own data. I think this article is very useful for someone who is stuck and has no idea how to start research for a paper. It is very informative and basically gives step by step instructions on how to collect the best data.
Under My Thumb
This piece is about a girls experience growing up loving music and dealing with the industry. First, the writer mentions an event that many girls can relate to, which brings the reader to the main idea of this piece. The writer talks about sexism in the music industry and how she believes it can be changed. I can relate to this piece a lot because I have also had the same things happen to me when I am wearing a band tee shirt or when I attended a music festival over the summer. I agree that something needs to change in the music industry to let women feel more welcomed and I believe, like the writer that we are making the change that needs to occur.
