Star Wars Outline

So, I am a really big nerd and one of my favorite series of movies is Star Wars. So I have chosen to outline, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Beginning: The movie starts out with a story already in play with Jedi nights trying to finish a mission they have been sent on. The story builds and reveals more and more as the characters share things.

Middle: The plot really settles in as Qui-Gon Jinn meets little Anikan Skywalker. There are then a series of problems that develope that is important to solve before the movie comes to a close and for the fate of the republic.

Conclusion: The Jedis form a union with the planet of Naboo where they help to fight against the dark side. They then celebrate the success of winning by a happy parade at the end.

Issues paper Thesis

Due to outsourcing jobs in other countries and the bad economy, more mothers around the United States are having to work full time which causes a negative affect for the mothers themselves and their children.

Issues paper Ideas

I was having a hard time thinking of possible topics I could write about. I was talking to my roommate and it came up that I could possibly talk about the affects of full time working mothers throughout the world. It has slowly become more popular throughout the world to have mothers working full time and not being housewives. The affect this can have on children can vary. Or another topic idea was about how movies have globalized throughout the world. America has definitely brought its movies to different countries probably affecting them in many ways.

The RA process. Finally over!

I thought that the Rhetorical analysis paper went really well. At first I was really worried about writing it. I felt like I had no right to critique anyone's work when I felt like I wasn't that amazing of a writer myself. But overall, it went pretty well. I think The hardest thing about writing the RA was trying to figure out my thesis. The thesis was so important for my paper that I wanted to cover everything that I felt was important for this RA. I think this was a little more difficult than writing the opinion editorial because I felt I could say whatever I wanted in that essay. I was stuck to specific guidelines for this paper. I don't really think there would be anything I would change about this process. I thought it was nice that we could pick our own topic out of the book. Overall it went very well.

Tone, Figurative Language, and Diction

For my rhetorical analysis I chose the article, "Put Your Money Where Their Mouths Are." After studying this article awhile, I realized that there isn't much Figurative Language used but rather Tone. The author presents this article with different types of Tone. The written words in this article project the mood of the writer and how he feels about the situation. The author uses different word choice to reflect the seriousness of the issue of children working at too young of an age.

Rhetorical Analysis Thesis

"Put Your Money Where Their Mouths Are", is an effective analytical arguments that argues with shocking statistical data,  well organized information, and emotional statistics that convinced everyday people such as university students that they need to not just protest from their comfortable lives about child labor, but to step in and make a difference.
