The couple points that we read about in the NES textbook were a nice reminder for me. At this point in my education career, I tend to just go through the motions. I know how to write. I just needed this reminder of why I write what I write. I can easily identify the purpose in the papers I write. It is remembering to tend to the audience I forget about sometimes. I forget that I write to people who have read what I read. I do not need to waste time saying things they already know. I need to work on presenting the message in a way the reader of my papers. Knowing the audience is the most important thing in a paper. I am able to find points that make sense. The overall trend seems to be my topic being too broad. This makes it easy to forget about the middle of the papers. It is easy to skip the introduction and go to the conclusion if the points are all I have. Finding credible information is something that can make a broad idea make more sense. Tending towards what I think other people know instead of what I do leads to this issue. This can also cause the paper to look terrible when I make one mistake. It could make the whole paper look wrong. However, if the knowledge builds up and shows up at the end, it works. The purpose of the story leads to the form of the story. This is the unfortunate part for me, but language, specifically words create the mood of the story. Persuasive writing is similar to what we talked about a few weeks ago. There are different ways to do it. The structure must make sense though, it can not just throw names around. Building a thesis behind six or seven ideas. The conclusion needs to be based on the thesis, not the whole introduction. This is one of the biggest issues with my writing. It is the last things the audience remembers. I need to work on making it more to the point.
