d2hw1 Reading Reflection

In Chapter 1 it was about different types of arguments and witch to choose and how to connect with your audience. i liked that it went into detail about each type of argument first time I have ever seen it split up it was very insightful and i feel it will help me a lot in my paper. It had a good review on pathos, ethos and logos and how i have to appeal to all aspects of the reader, the heart, reason and ethical or credibility.

Chapter 20 was a review of MLA for me. It told how to cite sources in text , how to cite the different sources(books, journals, and etc...) and how to create a work cited page.

Chapter 1 Bedford I wish i would of had this in grade school it would of save me a lot of C and D papers. Its a guideline of how to write a paper, how to choose a topic, how to brainstorm and how to manage time. I could of used it years ago and am glad i had a chance to read it.

Chapter 2 Went through narrowing my topic by finding arguments or disagreements inside of topics. Also to see if my topic will achieve my purpose as a writer.

Chapter 10 talks about different methods of taking notes and how avoiding plagiarism.

Chapter 18 goes through MLA again and will be another good resource for it.
