    This Rhetorical analysis essay was very difficult for me to get started but once I did I made many changes before I came into class with my first draft. I started by making a web trying to get my ideas onto paper so that it would eventually make it easier to organize into a paper.

I started out by using the Faigly book to and looking at the layout for how to write a rhetorical analysis. After that I answered all the questions, which then inevitably got put into the outline to help further get my points across. The thing that helped me the most was only writing a little bit at a time rather…

    The exam will consist of multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and short-essay questions. Some of the multiple choice questions will be clearly marked with "circle ALL correct answers"--meaning that each possible answer (a, b, c, d) should be assessed independently. In other words, ask yourself "is A correct?" If so, circle it. Then move onto B. If B is correct, circle it, etc. Also note that NONE of the answers might be correct. Regarding the fill-in-the-blanks, I will ask you to provide the correct term to match a definition. Short essays will be largely pulled directly from this review sheet.…
