WorkShop: Persuasion Essay

The day of our peer work shopping for he persuasive essay we wrote went okay in my opinion. It was nice to hear the feedback of the person reading my paper because it was a different perspective and they had different ideas of what we could add or take away from our papers. I am the type of person hat can accept constructive criticism and make something out of it. So I was pretty appreciative when Carli said I needed to add an extra counter argument to my paper because it was unclear to her as to what exactly was being counter argued. I also gave me the time to reread my paper at a slower pace to exactly determine where I could fit in the counterargument which helped me find minor grammar mistakes within my paper. The workshop worksheet was also helpful because it made sure that the writer was still on topic and each reason was conveyed clear enough for the reader to understand.

My First Blog

When it came time to create the outline and background of my first blog, I sort of dug deep and thought about which background image spoke to me the most. After gazing through the 'sporty' ones I figured I shouldn't go with any of those because everything in my life revolves around soccer or some kind of outdoors activity. With that being said I thought outside of the box and went with one that spoke to me in a different aspect, for instance I went ahead and chose to go with the 'galaxy' background image because to me there aren't any limitations on what a person can dream or aspire to do in life or any situation. I enjoy pushing people to their limits and helping them reach goals they never thought they could reach; sort of like being someone's muse. As for my purple header I chose that one because both of my grandmothers like the color purple (it also matched with the background) and in a sense it's like keeping them close to me.
