I think you had us read these articles together because they each talk about a different form of writing. Although they are different from each other they compliment each other also when it come to writing.
The writing that I prefer most is the rhetoric writing, because I feel like whenever you're writing a paper you're using persuasion. Trying to persuade them to like your writing so you can get a good grade.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems as if discourses focus on your environment, and although that can play a big factor in writing an article or paper it doesn't influence it much.
But after reading Boyd and Gees articles I'm still lost on discourses. So maybe that's why I'm all for rhetoric writing.
I hope we can clear discourses up by the end of this week.
ReplyDeleteI would like you to try and write more in your posts, and remember to select what you think are important passages from each reading and explain what you think the passage means and why you think it's important.
