Personal Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Rhetorical Analysis

Decent Essays

Though it took me several tries throughout the week to correct, I finally ironed out map with a good flow to it. Breath in through your nose, I told myself as a trudged to the front of the room to deliver my speech. I sincerely hoped that this speech would go well. I could recite this speech from memory and actually bake the cookies in my sleep. Standing up here, I pray my nerves do not get the best of me. As I speak, I only stumble mildly. I begin to fidget with my mind map, but then scold

    In Anzia Yezierska's Bread Givers of 1952, the author writes the book of a family of immigrant parents living in poverty in the ghetto of New York City.

    Nevertheless, I knew that I would achieve some form of catharsis if I took this assignment as seriously as a possibly could. From watching the persuasive speech, it is a recurring theme in my process of watching myself speak that I am much more sympathetic of myself after given said speech. What I immediately notice is that certain planned maneuvers such as the introduction weren’t always as clear as I wanted them to be. The flash cards that I help up might have been more effective if I had less content on them.…
