Rhetorical, Purposefully and Yoshi?

First of all this has little to do with the reading. But when I read the intro to chapter six I thought they were going to show Yoshi, Mario's sidekick!
On to the blog assignment, I found it very helpful. And I'm glad to know the key differences between reading purposefully and rhetorically. The check list was very helpful, and once again this will be a good reference to look at when finishing our first assignment.
Then after reading chapter seven I feel like gathering data will be a cakewalk now. I just have to keep in mind to verify, copy, respond and fill in the gaps. The two that I'll have to keep in mind the most is verifying and filling in the gaps. I will admit I am among the majority who just keep collecting data in hopes that it'll end up writing itself. For the most part I do respond to what I've collected, if I understand it that is. I also wait till the last minute to fill in the gaps, which isn't a smart idea seeing if I am missing anything it always ends up being thrown in the paper the last second.
All in all, these chapters have proved to be very useful and short!
