Writing 1122 has helped my writing in a few different ways. First off I learned a lot about the writing process and the importance of all of the steps, when they are done thoroughly. I also learned how to help other people edit and revise their papers from different points of view, which helps a lot; at least it did for me. Some of the best editing and revisions that helped and I received was actually from other students in the class. Another great help was Professor’s input on rough drafts and the letters he wrote us. Those definitely helped me with my direction of my papers and where he wanted to see me go with it, or what he wanted to see out of the essay.
I also learned about Ethos, Pathos and Logos, however, we mainly talked about ethos and pathos in class. I definitely can point both of them out in sections of writing now, and be aware of what the writer is wanting the reader to get out of reading his or her piece. I can say that, for me, appeals to Pathos are the most easily to acknowledge in the reading, because it is an appeal to me, as the reader, and trying to get my emotions involved. This, as a reader, can tell if the writer is a good writer by analyzing the appeal, and seeing if it makes them feel like the writer wants to. Now, it is definitely easier for me to critique and analyze an article or writing piece.
