Reflective writing from one Fall 2010 English 104 class, based on class activities, discussions, and readings. As E. M. Forster once said, "How can I know what I think until I see what I say?"

Perfect Timing
Chapter 9 & 10 was assigned at the right time. Both these chapters are useful for our research papers. Chapter 9 was a great chapter to bring back help on topics and how to use different thesis statements. his chapter also is a great tool to help us guide our paper's information along with the thesis. The rhetoric uses for arguments also is a major help. This can help us keep us from just stating facts and too build upon our argument and take different points of views to defend against multiple arguments. Chapter 10 really reminds us to always keep the audience in mind when we write. The chapter gives the best idea on how to use the logos, ethos, and pathos to prove your credibility as a writer to your audience. In english 101 & 102 I learned just the basics on logos, ethos, and pathos. Now in 104 the text takes a deeper look into those elements of rhetoric writing. Both these chapters are great tools to build on our argument to keep a steady flow through our papers.

These chapters were really useful, and definitely got me to think on how to approach project 3 and what to be looking for when I review and edit it.
