Cover Sheet

What is your thesis? How did this particular argument come about?

Thesis:

My thesis was basically that the demands of society contribute to an unsustainable society and a way that we can help to reduce this problem is not to just simply talk about, but to take action by recycling.

I was looking to see what I could talk about and still keep sustainability in mind.

Who's your audience and what techniques do you use to make your writing speak to their concerns and interests?

When writing my essay, I considered my audience to be my peers because they would be the ones reading and editing it. Also because when talking about recycling it's important to talk to a younger crowd because they are the ones who don't necessarily recycle as much. However when I went back and reread what I was writing, it seemed more that I was talking to society as a whole.

Upon reviewing your completed composition (and process), what aspect of your work (or it's process) most surprised you?

What surprised me the most is when I was actually doing the research process. I actually learned a lot from writing this essay that I definitly did not know before.

Did you learn anything new while growing your composition? Explain. When you use secondary sources, do those sources contribute to ethos, logos, or pathos appeals?

Maybe I should have read all the questions before answering them. As I said in the last question, I did indeed learn a lot, mostly about the actual history of recycling, how it helped a lot in the past, as well as how we deal with landfills. I guess you could say some of my contributes to pathos appeals because it gets me worked up a little bit and I tend to write aggresively.

When considering peer feedback as you revised your rough draft, which advice/suggestion/question/criticism/edit was most useful/helpful? On your final version, where would you like to see the most feedback and attention from graders?

I could only locate two of the reviews out of the three names listed for reviews. Jamie's review definitly helped when he had told me that I should expand on some of the topics I bring up through out my paper. It will enable more specifics and will help me overall make my paper longer. I would like to see feedback on my final draft on the flow of my essay. Whenever I write, I tend to notice that I go on rants and sometimes go off topic and then somehow find my way back.
