WN: Describe your current active reading process. Which practice
discussed by Palmquist would you like to develop in your reading
process?
On pg. 66 of Palmquist, I would like to develop the practice of Read to Understand.
I agree that by applying the reading to understand mentality will allow the reader to have
a better understanding of the most important information, ideas, and arguments in a
source. It will help them write and understand arguments better and be able to understand
all sides of the argument allowing them to articulate concisely what they are trying to
explain.

WN: What questions are important to ask about your audience before
writing?
Before writing, the most important questions to ask your audience are:
o What message are they trying to tell us?
o What are the Beliefs, values, knowledge and experience of the
Audience?
o How do we communicate? Do we use ethos? Display were an
important authority on this subject? And/Or write eloquently to
show attention to detail and that we care about quality of work
that is to be done.
WN: With your table, complete a rhetorical triangle that describes the
rhetorical situation of our rhetorical analysis blog.
WN: Process: Brainstorm figures you might use in your blog post. How will you
position, describe, and cite it/them? What purpose will they serve in your post?
I will position the figure in my blog post near the second page and also make it a
somewhat controversial and have an evoking message using pathos urging people
to do something. As of right now, I am thinking of the title, War for Water. Im
thinking of using this paragraph as a basis for my conclusion:
o The lack of water can and will lead to war and violence, unless we change
our water usage, divide our resources better and develop advanced
technology to help us reduce water usage and reduce water pollution. In
short, everyone should save water
I will be using citations to cite my image, statistical data to provide a more
convincing argument, and other websites to give me more points of view on why
this is such a huge issue.
The ad will evoke an emotional and controversial message to the readers, here is
the image:
The way that I position the ad and choose my ad will demonstrate further
emphasizing the importance of the thesis I am trying to portray to my readers.
Hopefully this image is good enough to write an interesting blog post!
WN: Compare the two profiles you read last night. Which was more successful at
convincing you that this was an important subject, and why? (sample profile 1.docx
and Valentine Abe profile.pdf)
This definitely made me feel as though this article is not to be taken seriously as
opposed to the other profile. Also by former President Bill Clinton picking Abe
for Time Magazine for 100 most influential people in the world made a sound
impression on me. I would have to say, hands down, that Abes story is the clear
victor in convincing me that this was a more important subject.
