Rhetorical Analysis Of A College Essay

“Shitty First Drafts” by Anne Lamott, is a hilarious must read for junior high school students and any other aspiring writers. Her essay inspires comfort and confidence in writing a first draft. It concretes that all writers experience the “shitty” first draft. Anne Lamott wrote this instructional information in 1995, but it is timeless information. She blows the idea of writing an immaculate first draft out of the water. Anne supports the idea that bad first drafts will almost always lead to better second, third and final drafts. She symbolizes the first draft to be like a child. Where you put all your thoughts and emotions out there in words on paper, you go all over the place, you say all kinds of ridiculous things, and all with the

Until I started this rhetorical analysis paper I wasn’t aware that the things I display in my room say things about me. I never thought about how they make me look as a person or what my audience would assume about me based on these items. When I started analyzing, all these questions started popping up. I was finally able to step back and see myself how others might see me. When asked by my teacher to pick 3 items that describe myself from my bedroom I didn’t have any trouble picking them out. When it came down to it, I 'd always choose the same 3 items: A wall of family pictures, a Pride flag and a mirror with notes and pictures all over it.

This week, I went over the topic of resume with my mentees. I prepared for the meeting by reviewing the resumes checklist. I felt comfortable presenting this material because I have received a lot of feedback on my resume from the career center and other professionals. I also printed out the Resume Building worksheets which were pulled from the CSUS Career Center Handbook. In addition, I also took them to the Career Center to receive advice on their resume.

Being able to write a strong, distinct resume and cover letter is very important. I believe everyone has heard of the quote/phrase "First impression matters". A strong and distinct resume and cover letter is the very first impression you give a college or worksite. The college or worksite will look at your application and see the resume and cover letter. The resume and cover letter they see will either "make you or break you". It is important to create an honest and a personal brand to any application, because during the interview they might ask you to elaborate and provide more information regarding the stuff you've listed in your application. If you are unable to talk more in depth about the topic, they will assume you were not involved. A personal brand will set you apart from thousands and millions of other applicants fighting for the same position. You want the college or worksite to look at the cover letter/resume and want to accept you off the back. Learning how to speak in front of crowds, finding my strengths and weaknesses, reviewing how to write cover letters and resumes, plus gaining the knowledge of the way socail media works; these skills will prepare me not only in college and jobs but it will help prepare me for the rest of my

First of all, at the beginning of this semester, we produced our resumes, this was a brand new skill to me. And it benefits me a lot. That is because resume is very important when we seek a job in the future. It represents ourselves and shows our experiences in the past. The companies will consider that if we are suitable for that specific job based on our experiences. Also, in order to enrich resume I will pay more attention to more activities besides the class at college, such as joining school organizations, go to clubs. Then it will improve my skills like leadership.

In South Central, Los Angeles, there is a food epidemic taking place among the population. For miles and miles, the only easily attainable food source is fast food; causing the overconsumption of un-nutritious, greasy, and fattening food. This is the problem brought to the public’s attention by speaker Ron Finley in his Ted Talks speech, “A Guerilla Gardener in South Central L.A.” Finley explains how everywhere he looks in his native South Central, all he sees are fast food chains and Dialysis clinics opened due to the lack of nutritious food. Finley views the lack of a healthy food source as a serious problem, and brings up

In his article “If Technology Is Making Us Stupid, It’s Not Technology’s Fault,” David Theo Goldberg effectively informs the reader about the effects that computers in the home and school environment could have on the future education of the coming generations. Goldberg achieves this by executing defined organization and adding unique comparisons about the potentially crippling effects technology can have on a society when put into the wrong hands.

Author’s note: Shortly after submitting this piece, it was learned that starting nose tackle Jarron Jones tore his MCL and is out for the season. Obviously, that changes what was written in describing the defense in point #4. However, Notre Dame has experience behind him and a freshman in Jerry Tillery who enrolled in the spring and participated in spring practices for Notre Dame. Coach Brian Kelly had this to say about him during those early practices. As I noted in the defensive section, because Jones was hurt last year, players were forced into action and gained a ton of quality experience. Add a blue-chip talent like Tillery to that group and Notre Dame should recover from this very effectively.
