That can be achieved by using different fundamental techniques ranging from, grammar, vocabulary, paraphrasing etc. Grammar can come in handy by using its variety of different gadgets, e.g. commas, colons, and conjunctions. If used properly and innovatively, the context of the essay can result to be very eventful and compelling. Vocabulary could be used to not only shorten the footage of the essay but also, to provide a greater volume of information in much smaller words. Paraphrasing is hands down the most important aspect when it comes the reader’s interest in the essay, it can be used to keep the reader to prevent the reader from losing their interest in the passage.

    To my esteemed English teacher, By writing you this letter, I hope to demonstrate my growth throughout the year and my final mastery of the course’s content.

Nevertheless, the rhetorical analysis needed further labor on the content; precisely, the explanation of the author’s use of a certain rhetorical device to achieve his purpose needed to be more detailed. I wrote the both pieces keeping in mind that my audience would be extremely educated upon English language and composition.…

I found many rhetorical strategies that the author used and I then began to outline the essay in my head.…

    The effectiveness of writing can be most simply be determined by its ability to sufficiently display a message across the the reader. Every piece of literature contains a message, whether blatantly obvious or hidden under written complexities. These messages, however, have a much stronger appeal to the audience while encompassed in personal interjections and anecdotes. When the reader can connect to the author, their message is much more effective and personal to the reader as opposed to cold statements of ideas. Deborah Tannen in “But What Do You Mean?”…

    A thesis statement introduces the main idea of an essay. The thesis statement is typically located in the last sentence of the introductory paragraph. The thesis statement usually serves as the focus of your essay and should be developed, supported, and explained. Beyond the introduction of the main idea, the thesis statement tells the reader what to expect from the rest of the essay, foreshadows how “I” will depict the subject of discussion, and makes an arguable statement for the reader to interpret for themselves. To be a strong thesis statement, the thesis statement must follow four components: the thesis statement must be narrow and manageable, present your argument, foreshadow your essay, and present an arguable statement.…

    Since our first attempt at writing an essay in elementary to middle school, we are told the main components to writing an essay is the ‘beginning’, ‘middle’, and ‘end.’ All of which holds true today, but as we move from one grade to the next, the standards for a ‘good’ essay changes for the better. Rhetorical strategies, devices, and appeals also known as rhetoric, is what we learn in high school (Stotsky 10). The continuation of the expanding knowledge is what makes us alter our writing strategies, from the material taught to us in our adolescent years of elementary school and every year thereafter. It is in high school that we are taught to analyze and dissect the author, as well as the author’s work ceaselessly.…
