Rhetorical Analysis – Luis Peguero

One genre that I come across a lot and also involve in it is gaming, the convection is this genre are extremely broad. every time a new game is released the way is advertises or talked about is not always identical to the games the came before it, every year companies try to one up each other in the different to sell the game to their consumers. For example, some companies go to the extreme lengths to blatantly lie about their end product this is one way language is used against the consumer. Building hype is a great way to get people within community to talk about your game, this helps spread the word at the cost that if your game doesn’t live up to the hype it will die extremely fast. Another thing is the way people react to first impression of a game. if you ever seen an E3 trailer, you will noticed how the game looks “alive” there’s stuff to do, other character interact with the players, the game so look amazing, this is a way to easily grabs people attentions, giving them the first impression that you might actually have a fun experience playing that game. What makes gaming what it is the mass appeal that it has, there’s a game out there for everybody, whether its made by a big studio or an indie developer.

After reading Mother Tongue is an autobiography, she talks on how she becomes conscious on the way she speaks the English language, she also talks on her personal opinion of the English language and the different variation of the English language, between talking to a group and talking to family she noticed the different way she uses the English language, she also credits her mom for her own understanding of the English language.

Assignments – “How to Read Like a Writer” by Mike Bunn

When Mike Bunn states that “You are already an author.”, his speaking on how in your day to day life, whether it be writing an essay or writing a letter, you already made the choice and author has made in his writing. you are constantly making choices on how a pieces you’re writing should flow. Having written countless of essays throughout my educational path, I can agree with what he is saying. There’s where I purposely choose to included different writing strategies to send a point home, even with me knowing all of that, this is the first time I hear the term “reading like a writer”. Maybe subconsciously I have borrowed writing techniques that I’ve seen in book and article that I have read, but it was never something that I was actively looking out for. I personally feel like moving forward I will definitely be more aware of the writing strategies to borrow them and implement them in my own writing, one writing technique that Bunn use that I would like to implement in my writing is the way “broke” away from his own ideas to quote another person and made what said person it’s own part in the essay. Another thing in particular is how he separated his ideas into what I could describe as section and he titled them as well from what I can remember I never titled different section of my writing, it was always pick a topic write 3-5 paragraphs supporting your idea and end it there, so I do look forward to separating my idea into their own sections to make writing easier for my so I could focus on one idea per section, makes writing and reader at easier. Overall, I believe this was a great read to start off the semester, there’s definitely a lot of strategies that I will take with me moving forward in this class.

My name is Luis Peguero, I’m currently only going for my associates degree since it’s a prerequisite for flight school. Honestly, I can’t say I feel anytime type of way about starting college, I believe that’s because I decide to take a fall semester off just to gather myself and take some time for myself before counting my education, Actually, maybe I’m a tad bit excited since its the first step toward achieving my dream. I also looks forward to attending this English class even though English has never been my strong suit. I used this image because its a screenshot of one of the many simulated flight I do.
