Introduction It is no secret that writing, whether professionally or as a pastime, is one of the most daunting tasks that faces not only native English speakers, but also those who use English as a second language (Jimenez, Esmeralda, Mira, Rodriguez, & Stephany, 2013).

Through out the first paper I discovered I enjoyed writing about events I’ve attended and giving a rhetorical stance about the things that occur at these events. While the second paper challenged me because of the way I had to think. Putting myself out of my own mind and analyzing why something is how it is had been a challenge because it’s something I haven’t done before. While using evidence and social ques had been a challenge going…

My use of approaches to collect data was helpful to gain a sufficient amount of artefacts and…
