Aro’s Reflection
What
exactly is in my ePortfolio? My ePortfolio takes a dip into my own personal life.
Im going to be honestly I am not an out spoken individual but when I was told I could write a persuasive
paper on my own wishes, the ideas started flowing in. I believe giving a student the
opportunity to express their self’s is the only way the get great information. My
ideas and thoughts were flowing of what I could bring into the world. Like I
said before I do not often express my self in writing form. With this project I
wanted a teacher to be able to understand a student like myself. There are tons
of different individuals that step into a classroom now I want you to step into
my life. When coming up with ideas about my paper Heinrich repeatedly continued
to jump into my mind. Heinrich has opened my mind on the idea of what is an
argument is. Before walking into this class, I believed an argument was always
something bad, I thought it was always a disagreement that ended in violence
and missed viewpoints. Heinrich thought me so much more about what an argument
was and how to successfully win an argument. He thought me how to read the
audience and to pick up and key rhetorical moments in an argument. Now when I argue, I don’t want to just win the argument I want the audience to understand what I want
and why I believe it. The use of ethos, logos, and pathos are truly beautiful in
the world of a rhetoric. I wanted to better show you my ideas of America and how my character
and logic clashed all together. I never knew how important expressing yourself
could be before this class. This is why I spoke out about the racism
in America. My main focus of my paper was the use of Kairos. With the introduction
of president Trump I knew it was time. Doing my research, I found the speech of
Hillary Clinton and the famous ‘super-predator’ speech. Wow was I wrong about
Hillary. With this need found information about Hillary this opened so much
more information about the history of America. My paper was almost a research
paper for myself because I never knew how cricked America really was. The improper
use of Kairos in the worlds legal system is senseless. Years on top of years has
my race been corrupted by the legal system. I wanted to know more about my
cultures history. This has been the most reached paper in my life. I hope I was
able to include everything I learned about persuasion and how to properly
persuade my audience.
