More More Strategies!
I really enjoyed class on Friday. I thought it was very helpful to pick apart individual pieces and analyze every possible strategy they used. It helped me to go to the writing center where a lady pointed out how I could analyze the strategies I noticed more in depth. I analyzed three strategies: syntax and diction, statistics, and organization structure. Focusing on syntax and diction- I addressed that they were used but did not address for what effect. I mentioned the casual tone of the piece but she suggested I go further in depth about what it was attempting to foster in the audience. It made the article less scientific, and closer to home. It fostered Unity among the audience through words such as "we, as individuals," etc. I realized I should always look to take the strategies a step further, if possible, to achieve a more thorough analysis.
