RA Reflection

I believe that my paper deserves somewhere in the A- or B+ range. It is not quite an A because i struggle with repetition and i do not use ethos logos and pathos as much as i should have. But it is better than a B because i have a very focused and clear essay. If i could do my paper over again, i would have used more outside examples. Maybe related it to other sources to get more credibility. I also would have put more of my voice in the paper, instead of the somewhat weak voice that i have. I would have also tried harder not to repeat myself as much, and analyzed just one step deeper.  I didn't do as good because i had a few repeats throughout the essay. Some things i did really well on was keeping the paper focused and tight.e i had a few repeats throughout the essay.

Obama vs. Romney- Rhetorical Strategies

1. Obama begs the question when he completely avoids the question and starts talking about something else.
2.Obama uses juxtaposition when he brings education in at a random time to make his argument seem better.
3. Obama uses accumulation as he twists Romney's argument into sounding bad.
4. Obama uses the same hand gestures the whole debate, he puts his hands in a square shape to describe everything.
5. Obama uses allusion in ways including bringing up Clinton and other examples.
6.Romney has an organized list which is called an enumerate.
7. Romney compares obama to his lying young sons.
8. Romney uses logic by basing his argument in the constitution and the declaration of independence.
9. Romney backs up his arguments with a successful example of Massachusetts which is called an exemplum.
10. Romney uses allusion when he talks about compromise like when the founding fathers came together and used compromise to create this country.
