What is your research question/rhetorical situation?
My research rhetorical question is the concept of “letting go” of your past self
What is your connection to rhetorical situation and why are you uniquely placed to write about it
Ever since I was young I had trouble letting go of past mistakes and kept letting it hurt my life. Recently, I have learned how to let go of my past self and wanted to expand my knowledge on it while also influencing others to help them let go of their past selves.
Where do you imagine your writing “existing”? (newspaper, magazine, YouTube, personal blog)
I imagine my writing existing on platforms such as YouTube because recently, self-help videos have been an increasing trend among content that is pushed out by YouTube and my rhetorical situation fits that category.
Who is your target audience?
My target audience is everyone, but to narrow it down, mostly teens in their 20s as that is when most teenagers learn more about themselves and experience the “real world” and I think it’s essential to learn how to let go of your past self before taking on important responsibilities.
What form will your writing take? (Research paper, narrative, letter, script.)
The form my writing will take is a letter.
Why is this form the most effective way to communicate to your target audience?
I feel that this form with be the most effective way to communicate with the target audience because the rhetorical situation of my paper is personal so it will need a more personal touch for the writing to resonate with the audience.
What is the value you’re trying to impart on your audience?
The value I’m trying to impart to the audience is to help them learn how to let go of their past mistakes and live life without their past mistakes affecting them in a negative way.
