Becoming a writer has basically given me some wider, xray glasses to look at the world. Here are some reasons why you would say I am a better writer and have gone through ap comp:
- If people have poor reasoning, I murmur under my breath "logical fallacy"
- My brothers now know when they use logical fallacies and when they use it in an argument against me, before I have time to say anything they yell out "Ya, thats a logical fallacy, ha ha" in a really sarcastic high pitched voice
- I can never look at an emoticon the same way again (I always see it as a slight cop out) and whenever I use them I hesitate before I put it in
- My mind goes through the steps of rhetorical analysis whenever I read through some text, and I always wonder and think about why I am appealed to this writing
- I've found that on more research type papers, I try to use various forms of sentence structure and add various stories at the opening and closing paragraphs to add interest in my paper (I did this for a human anatomy paper)
- I always ask myself why I am appealed to an ad and what make it visually capturing and wonder why they put it in a particular magazine.
- When I watch Giada on food network, whenever she says one of her copius amount of adjectives to describe her food, I always visualize in my mind and think about what that adjective makes me think and feel, which then makes me want to eat the food
- I have stopped (or tried stopping) using the words thing and very to describe various objects
- I can't not do rhetorical analysis when I describe and have to ask myself why people would want to read what I write
- I get excited to edit and slightly stressed out at the fact that there is so much that I could change about my writing to make it kick butt
- I try to find the voice, form, audience and purpose whenever I write
- I wonder what my voice is like in every type of writing (research papers, blogs, the way I talk too, even though its not writing)
