[ENC 1101] A Plan for Revising my Rhetorical Analysis Paper

Having reviewed the comments on my Rhetorical Analysis, I found that there weren’t many comments to begin with, and the comments that were submitted were mostly that they thought I did a very good job.

The most helpful criticism was offered by Lisa Marie Seil, who said, “did a great job explaining the site, but you did not do much in the way of critiquing.” I did see tremendous merit in her comment, because after thinking about it, I realized she was essentially correct. My first attempt at explaining the website was to describe, in great detail, the mechanics and the content of the website. This was helpful, I would imagine, in understanding the content and layout of the website, but did not offer any critical analysis.

So, in going back to revamp my first attempt, I will attempt to answer the guideline questions in more detail, with more of my critique added. I need to answer in greater detail, with a lot more explanation of my thought process in reviewing the salient points of the assignment. I realize that critique can, by its nature, be a bit subjective, but no one has to agree with any critic. A critic is there to express an opinion on an aspect, in our case, a few aspects of the presentation of the content of the website, and I will address that critique to a greater extent in my second attempt at my analysis.
