    1. Through the use of humor, Sartwell is able to engage the audience with his piece and establish a connection with them, contributing to the effectiveness of the piece. By referencing things that they share in common, such as “Unlike Thoreau, I have cable” (Sartwell 14), it enables his audience to relate to his points and as a result, creates a sense of cohesiveness between the contrasting ideas that Sartwell brings up. The thought that “… if Thoreau were around today, he’d be pushing a cart through a Walmart…” (Sartwell 14) is absurd due to fact that he retreated to the woods in order to live deliberately. However, through the author’s witty tone the audience is able to recognize how realistic this scenario can be as a result of the dependency humans have toward values in modern society.…

    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.…
