However, for substantiate editing, I plan to edit, move, and add content to my paper that will improve clarity and overall flow. Also, I plan to fix my paragraph construction in order to strengthen my argument. I believe that adding proper reference introductions and statements to my commentary will further establish credibility on my behalf. For copyediting and line editing, I will comb

In my draft, I only cited Paine’s use of logos as rational, allowing the audience to use their common sense to draw a conclusion, citing an example from the text and suddenly moving to discuss pathos. Looking back at the draft, I realized how I needed additional commentary about how, exactly, my example appeals to logos and how and why Paine uses this strategy to support the revolution and promote republicanism as a better form of…

    The artifacts that I have included are all reflective of my unit 4 writing assignment progression. I decided to revise my unit 4 writing assignment "The Legacy of Agent Orange" because it has been difficult for me. Initially I failed to completely understand the objective of the assignment and as a result I submitted a paper that failed to argue a misperceived facet of American culture.

The artifacts included detail the initial confusion, identifying the issue, and finally developing a course of action…
