What I feel is important

Through out this course we have learned a lot of important rhetorical tools to use in our writing. But one or two in particular are more important to me.  Using description is very important in writing. Describing details helps paint a picture in our readers minds. For example, If your trying to describe an elephant to someone who has never even heard of the animal before your going to describe it using a lot more than its big, kind of round, grey and has a long trunk for a nose. No, you need to to go into depth and use specific details. It can be challenging, we learned this in our description essay. It is a lot of work to describe every little thing, but sometimes it is necessary for a certain audience because we all have different amounts of background knowledge. Visual Rhetoric is a very useful tool me. Everyone learns differently, some people can learn from simply reading, others learn by hands on, I learn from visuals like pictures. There is a saying that a picture says more than a thousand words. Its true. A picture sends a strong message to anyone. Most images are universal, meaning that if you were to take a picture of an adult crying, any person around the world would be able to relate to the emotion and message of the photo. When writing using visual rhetoric and description will help give your message a greater meaning.

Making of the Sandwich

Writing is an art, which is worked on through out an individual’s life. Writing can be referred to as a sandwich. When making a masterpiece sandwich, you start with the bread, this is typical for every sandwich, and then you add ham, tomatoes, and pickles, everything that you can imagine for a delicious sandwich. Every single part is important to the flavor of your creation. To write an essay you need to have something to discuss about, you need to decide what kind of sandwich you want to make. You need a subject that has some sort of importance to you the writer. It is good to have background knowledge to be able to start an outline with basic knowledge.  Next step for your sandwich you need to look in the fridge and pull out every thing you want to add. For an essay this can be Brain-storming. Brain-storming is an important process where you should write down everything you know about the subject of your choice.  Your not writing the essay yet so feel free to write down everything that comes to mind! Next you will want to look at your list of points for your topic. Begin to pull out the main/important points that you want to explain more in depth.  These points we be the meat, lettuce, and tomatoes of your essay.  Organize your points, and research them to add support to your points. Be able to know your points well enough to describe each in great detail. Details are important!  Once you have the order of each, then begin to form you thesis statement. After which you’ll begin to introduce your topic in the first paragraph.  Here you’ll want to add your thesis to help your audience know what the author’s stance on the subject is.  Last your going to finish your sandwich by compacting all the elements together. In your last paragraph, summarize your points and decide what your last message is to your audience. This is the part where you want to make clear what you are trying to convey to your audience.
