This past week, we were assigned to write a 1500 word essay on Rhetoric. All I can say is that I am very glad that I got that first draft over with and turned in. While it is very important to know how to convey your ideas into written word, I must say that I am not a fan of the long English essay (but honestly, what student is...). I love writing, but the essay was a daunting task unfortunately. My essay seemed to ramble on and on and on and on about the same things. I know this really isn't the case and that I am being a tad hard on myself, but I literally felt as though this essay dragged on for what seemed like forever. Despite this terrible feeling, I know that knowing how to write an essay is imperative to success in college and that I will be glad to have these skills someday... at least I sure hope so. fingers crossed.
I wrote my essay on this political cartoon by Daryl Cagle
In my essay, I stated how the symbolism, imagery, and captions all combined to convey an argument against Obama's solution (or lack of) to the economic crisis.
