This semester in English 101, my class spent a lot of time talking about purpose, text, and audience. This connection between each of these parts is called the rhetorical situation. We discussed how each section has a part to go with it. The purpose has a speaker, the text is made up of choices, and the audience has values ​​and expectations. As the semester progressed, we were given essays and articles to read, interpret, and analyze. After analyzing and reading each article, we found a goal, choices and determined an audience. From there, we wrote a comparative interpretive essay based on what we found important in the articles and what was important to our audience, the committee that will read the English 101 portfolio articles. In this reflective essay, I will discuss and interpret my two comparative interpretation essays. I will talk about my text and the choices I made and the reasoning behind my choices, as well as my audience. Let's start by discussing my audience and what they value and expect to see when reading my two essays. My audience is the English 101 committee made up of English teachers. I feel that this committee of instructors values ​​and expects to see a remarkable piece. They want to see an essay that has all the values ​​and expectations for passing English 101. Some of these values ​​and expectations relate to grammar and mechanics, structure, coherence and clarity, etc. Critically interpret course texts by identifying and analyzing strategies and choices, including key terms, distinctions, and questions posed in the interpreted texts (UWM English 6). This audience expects to clearly understand why the author...... middle of article..... .nd compared different articles together at an in-depth level, something that I believe is qualified to pass English 101. The topics of influence, doubt, and uncertainty are one that many people may choose not to write about, but something that I found fascinating. and stimulating. I decided to take a chance and write about something that most people are not easily able to understand or demonstrate. I guess you could say maybe they have a little doubt in themselves or maybe they're not sure, but the influences from my English 101 class have made me very confident in my choices.Works Cited991149301. “The uncertainty of doubt.” UW-Milwaukee.
