Humor Author's Note

For my humor piece, I decided to take the Onion approach and write an obnoxious, satirical article. I think it is fairly clear what I am trying to do, and I think my article conveys my point. I think there is always room for improvement, and that is what I am looking for the most. Where are the spots that need clarification? What is confusing?

I know there are some little things I need to address like word choice and things of that nature, but overall, I am looking for feedback on how effective my argument is. Also, what needs to be changed to make it more effective.

How My Rhetorical Case Study Has Developed

Having just completed my third draft of my rhetorical case study, I have seen a ton of improvement. I think this is my most complete draft, in terms of the right amount of analysis and summarizing. I feel good about the balance of the two. Starting the paper in pieces, I think now, with eight pages, my paper is filled out. It still needs some fine-tuning, but as a whole, it is there. I am happy with the flow, and how I transitioned from one point to the next, and I think from my first draft to this one, that is one thing that is definitely better.

Taking a step back, I can see I have come a long way since my first draft of two body sections. The paper went basically the way I anticipated it would, and with some finishing touches, I think it will be good. It is a lot easier to see it as a whole now, than when I just had two body sections.

What the Library Means to the Community

The TCU library plays a huge role for the TCU and surrounding communities. It is not only a place to go and study for tests or in between classes, but it is a place where students can socialize with each other. The resources provided, like books, computers, DVDs, make our (students) lives so much easier. As some students have told me, since the BLUU is so far away, the library is taking the place of the main, as a place where you can go to kill time in between classes. I have to agree. It is a place to gather, hang out, and occasionally it's a place where students get work done.
