Final Reflection
The “Publication Rhetorical Analysis” assignment was particularly meaningful as it helped me
improve my writing skills by examining the rhetorical situation, author, audience, purpose, and
stance of the piece. It helped me understand the author’s credibility, audience, assumptions,
purpose, rhetorical strategies (logos, pathos, ethos), and stance towards the subject/topic. By
analyzing these aspects, I was able to better understand the author’s credibility, audience, and the
reasons behind their stance. This assignment helped me develop a better understanding of the
writing process and its impact on my writing.
The Discussion Board is a useful tool for understanding assignments and exploring ideas. It
helps assess the structure of an essay, including paragraphs focused on distinct units of thought,
clear transitions, and well-supported ideas. The essay should provide a compelling analysis of
the chosen inspiration text, use well-chosen examples and persuasive reasoning, and have a clear
thesis statement. Content is essential, with an original argument informed by research from the
opinion editorial. Creativity and presentation are crucial, and the essay should be engaging and
captivating for the intended audience. Genre is another important factor, and the visual essay
should follow the conventions of the chosen genre. The author should discuss their language use,
such as school, therapy, and advertising, and any language loss they may have experienced. The
article should be analyzed using the 10 rhetorical terms (author, audience, tone, purpose, stance,
language, genre, medium, constraints, exigence) and explore the rhetorical strategies used by the
authors.
People must survive, social, economic issues are beyond the government’s power. Two
movements, Po Poets, Poverty Skole and POOR Magazine, use tools including education, the
arts, social assistance, sweat equity, long-term cohousing to combat homelessness, poverty. San
Francisco is contesting a court ruling that would have created 1,500 additional Permanent
Supportive Housing apartments to combat homelessness. The “Never Again” campaign aims to
prevent the Zionist dictatorship from taking people’s pleasure away. The initiative aims to
provide access for the impoverished and address issues like homelessness, disabilities, and
criminal records. The campaign aims to ensure that collective grieving occurs when a group is
affected by multiple fatalities. By December, Tiny Gray’s poem “Gaza is filled with Mamas” will
be submitted for publication. Meanwhile, Palestinian American poet, political activist Suheir
Hammad has released a biography called Drops of This Story and a collection of poems titled
Born Palestinian, Born Black. These poems reflect the state of the globe, including the sacrifices
made by Israeli troops and the difficulties experienced by Muslims in Palestine in defending their
homeland. Poets such as Gray and Hammad make an effort to convey the high cost of goods and
how it affects people’s quality of life. Social media platforms like YouTube videos and TikTok
are utilized to engage users and spread awareness of economic concerns. Social media gives us
further insight into the challenges of others, but writing remains the most effective means of
fostering connections and communicating feelings. Social media, like visual context, makes it
easy for individuals to comprehend and connect with others going through similar struggles.
Writing is the finest method to bring people together.
