Chinese Writing Vs English Language Analysis

Improved Essays
Though I would have less grammar mistakes writing in Chinese than in English, there are similarities in both English and Chinese writing. That is, the first sentence in each paragraph should start directly the main idea of the paragraph, and one paragraph has one and only one main statement, which is hard for me to reach by one time. Therefore, I revise it again and again from the initial free writing, like a painter drawing the pigments from the bottom to the top. My writing is like a process, which develop every time I review it. This semester, I spent much time free writing and going over my three essays, rhetorical analysis, argumentative topic, and summary and response.
First, free writing inspires me a lot, and help me record my original

Though I know revising is important for an excellent essay, I never have enough time to do it, because revising is an infinite huge work for me. However rereading seems to be nonsense, but it does improve my writing through several times in grammar, structure and focus. It is surprising that every time I read my essay, I create different sentences and have distinguishing. Plus, I never delete sentences, because it might be useful next time. There is a paragraph in my argumentative essay that says the women has abortion mainly due to poverty. To solve povenrty and convince poor people to give birth to their newborns, I used a whole paragraph to show how to make a bargain for buying babies things. I found the paragraph out of my main idea, and I do not know how to change it into the one I wanted. Thanks to I paste it to another document rather than deleting it because I luckily was strike by how to revise it later. The new document is my back up of writing in case of the paragraph can be used again. Finally, the revising words of my argumentative papers accumulate as the same amount of my …show more content…
To classify, rhetorical analysis is like the meme of one article. That is, it does not create new ideas, but writes statements by analyzing how the famous article works. Though it does not need any original thoughts, it is helpful, because I can learn how to write a convincible article by analyzing previous well-known article first. Furthermore, reading can somehow help writing, if you have an insight of the successful article. In other words, rhetorical analysis is the way to reveal the mysterious veil of excellent writing and a bridge which leads to academic

    “Revising” In Joseph Harris’s article, “Revising”, Harris emphasizes the differences between drafting, revising, and editing, and the impact that each of these elements has on drafting a well-written paper. Harris dubbs the first step “drafting”, or formulating the content of the paper. Drafting involves the development of ideas into a larger body of text that can be easily followed. The next step in this process is “revising”, or further developing and adjusting the current body of text. Harris reaffirms that revising is not simply editing for spelling in grammar, but rather revising focuses on building upon the text that is already developed.…

    When reading the rhetorical sample essay, I do consider this a successful rhetorical analysis because the author of the essay Rebecca winter was able to break down the article, looking for rhetorical analysis and was able to see a flaw in in the article and show her evidence towards it. Yes I found the organization of this essay very effective because she use each paragraph to show her evidence, her facts, personal experience, as well as ethos, logos and pathos. I wouldn’t have organized it any differently she each paragraph was organized in a well much welled manner. This article could be presented in a different manner but I don’t think it would achieve the same result as the way it is written now, because if she was to put her ethos logos…

    A Rhetorical Analysis is “ a situation where a speaker or writer sees a need to change reality and sees that the change may be effected through rhetorical discourse” in other words, it is an evaluation of a text that clarifies how the parts of the text work together to generate a certain consequence: to persuade, entertain, or inform (Grant-Davie 265). When the context is written in response to a situation, it is called a rhetorical situation; this creates the rhetorical discourse that is a response to the situation, it has a goal. The person who is talking to the audience, namely, the reader, is called the rhetor. A need or problem that can be solved through the rhetorical discourse is called exigency; it is an imperfection marked by urgency.

    Laura Bolin Carroll is able to clearly persuade us of the importance of being able to have the skills of rhetorical analysis when being presented with rhetoric. In her text, “ Backpacks vs. Briefcases: Steps toward Rhetorical Analysis “, she relates to the audience by putting into words how we, as a society make quick analysis by making assumptions by appearance. You are quick to make conclusions about a person simply by how they present themselves. We have it engraved in our reasoning that a person’s appearance is a representation of their personality. As we continue to make these assumptions and conclusions, we begin to adjust to the amount of rhetoric information that is given to us through these encounters.…

    English composition was never my strong nor favorite because of my knowledge of the grammar and organization in my writing. Taking English 101 is a jump start for me, because last year of high school my teacher focused primarily on English literature. The course has introduced me to rhetorical analysis, and swatching (imitating author argument). Throughout the semester and all of the papers written I can say that it was a good experience to write at a college level and the expectation from college professors is good for future courses that involve writing essays.…
