During this semester I have become a better writer, thinker, reader.

I have a much better understanding on rhetoric. When we wrote a paper about a famous speech I got

to see how much the used rhetoric and how much of a difference using rhetoric can affect a paper by

making it better.

     I learned about Ethos, Pathos, and Logos this semester.

Learned that Ethos is a form or argument based on character or authority. Learned that Pathos is a

form or argument based on emotions fear, desire, sympathy, anger. And I have learned Logos is a

form or argument based on logic and facts. Learning Logos, Pathos, Ethos has helped me in my

writing abilities.

     Now that I know these great skills in writing I can know read better. Now I know what to look for

and have a better understanding what someone is really trying to say in their paper/speech.
