Handwritting Rhetorical Analysis

Decent Essays
Hi Pedro,

I understand your point. I feel schools need to stick with the basics. You can not replace the art of handwritting, and a good book. Today, I am concerned about the amount of technology kids are exposed to. I believe all the technology advancements have made the youth of today lazy, and lacking in social skills. Today, kids are locked away in their bedrooms on computers or cell phones, when they should be outside playing and making friends. You hardly ever see a kid on a bicycle anymore. Technolgy is great, but it should be monitored.

He goes into detail about how in our history we have had many presidents, like Kennedy, George W. Bush, and now Obama that promise us many things they cannot deliver. These are the some of the most recent presidents, but certainly not all that have done this. He explains that each of them has offered up ideas and proposals that seem to be bullet proof and extraordinary solutions to the problems in our country—yet all of them have fallen short in some way or another.…

    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.…
