Today, I learned what it means to exhibit energy and enthusiasm whenever I present to the audience. It was made clear to me the meaning of enthusiasm, which is an exceptional excitement, interest, or devotion expressed through and in the way words is used. If I have excitement about the subject, it will make my speech come alive and therefore captures the attention of my audience. I also learned that enthusiasm could be reflected in my facial expression, voice, gestures and the words I use, while I need energy, zeal to exhibit these enthusiasms. With this I have learned, from now on, the way I present would definitely be different from what it use to be because “nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm”- Ralph Waldo Emerson.

    My overall goal in life is to wake up every morning and not dread going to work. I want to be able to face a new challenge, help others, and make a difference no matter how big or small. I want to take pride into what I do and not just think of my job as an action to survive. I believe it is difficult to do so in a scene where a good handful of people do not give you the full respect deserved. In the article “Congregation Gone Wild”, G.

    The article “Miscalculation on Visas Disrupts Lives of Highly Skilled Immigrants” (2015), by Julia Preston, states the State Department and Homeland Security allowed the department to give anticipating immigrants news of them being able to take the next step to obtain a green card. The author provides background information about the situation, along with reasons as to why the incident occurred, and its impact on immigrants. Preston attempts to inform about the episode and provide an explanation to the immigrants involved, through the use of rhetorical appeals. Preston establishes ethos before the article starts, as she is a reporter of a reputable newspaper, which gives her credibility. She starts off her article powerfully by providing context for those who are unaware of the situation; in the beginning of September, the State Department told thousands of highly skilled legal immigrants that they “would be able to advance early to the next step: filing a formal application.”…

    My poster is convincing men to join the army by playing on their insecurities and their worries about their female companions, using techniques such as “Bandwagon”, and “Emotional Words”. Firstly, I used a slogan which makes men feel like they are being left out in something that they should be a part of, using the “Bandwagon” technique. My slogan reads, “Real Men Fight,” which implies that all the men in the area are fighting and only fake men or people who are not men are sitting at home, not in the war. Secondly, I used some emotional words at the bottom, further convincing the men to enlist into the army. It reads, “Don’t let that guy steal your lady!” which plays on some men’s insecurities concerning themselves and whether their lady companions…

    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.…

While I observed that most of them were paying attention, I wondered how many of them really interested about my presentation. I had thought of using humour to balance my dull image but I was afraid that this would make my teaching session slightly boring.…
