Rhetorical Analysis

Rhetorical Analysis The link to the report is at the bottom. The very first thing i notice when i read this is that he starts with a quote, wich by the standards we are taught at a verry youngue age, is a little wiered, but as you grow up and you are exspossed to newer forms of writing it becomes a normal thing when people are trying to do somthing out of the norm. As i continue to read i get a pretty good idea on what he is going to talk about in his report  It verry clearly tells me that the report is on the postmodernism in vonnegut's cats cradle, it tell me that he will adress the idea of truth, the idea of progress, and the concept of absolute knoledge, wich are all key concepts that cats craddle adresses and are verry good to write about in a report but as i read this i cant help but feel like a am reading a grocery list. Now there isnt really anything wrong with that but personally i think that if you list off what you are going to talk about in your report you should make it flow similarly to how you would make your report flow, it feels to me that if you make a list in the beggining thats all your report is going to be... a list.          Okn so in the second paragraph he begins to talk about what postmodernism is. Now for a standard essay that is ideal verry normal verry exspected , you know if you are going to go on to talk about somthing you might as well let your audiance know what it is that you are talking about right. Personally i had a verry hard time falloowing what he was saying i was able to pick up a few things here and there but over all i had a verry... verry hard time fallowing his thoughts. I think that is because he was just trying too hard. Most likely he was told to describe postmodernism in his report so what he did was he took his notes did a comparison to events in the book and formulated sentences off of that. Doing that is all fine and dandy although the problem most pople run into or at leest what i run into and what he seems to run into... and incase your wondering he is the person who wrote this report. is that once again it doesnt flow its like your taking your ideas and just listing them and to do that you dont even have to understand. Now i know i would apreciate it and im sure teachers would apreciate it if you just mnade it easier. Complicating is not impressiver simple while still adressing every aspect of what you are writing about is.        Ok rright off the bat when reading the third paragraph he basicley mrestates one of the isdeas  he says in his opening paragraph. Thats kinda like giving a ghost pepper to somone woho has never had anything hot in his life, in case you are wondering ghost peppers are the hottest peppers in the world, i meen seriousely dude lead into it give us somthing to warm up to before you give us the maximum heat. now as i continue reading i aplaud him he really seems to know about what he writing about here he uses great referances from the book that show verry clearly what he is trying to proove, one thing though i could really use a little bit more he seems to be lacking in exsplaining why this part of the book esplains his idea, it just left me wanting more.         Ok so this next paragraph left me... proud... i gues proud is the right word to use no before i get ahead of myself let me say that he did the same thing he did in the previouse paragraph that is he stated the subject emidiately with no lead in wich annoys m alot, maybe thats just a personal problem but still, now as we get futher into this paragraph he does a beautiful job at exsplining and stateing exzactly what he wants us to know i ended this paragraph verry satisfied and even ... ya verry satisfied. It was verry well done and if you read it you will see what i meen. Ok so im starting to relize that i am kinda going over the criteria so i am going to some up the rest fairly quikly. So basicly throughout the rest of the report he continues basicly the same way he has been the are a few part that were verry good and a few parts that could use some work . All in all it is a verry good report It would definetly leeve some high school teachers impressed. It definetly abides by the writing guidlines that we are presented with throughout our school carrer but i see promise he is starting to get out of his shell and exsperiment with new things but he still has a long way to go. http://studentpulse.com/articles/512/postmodernism-in-vonneguts-cats-cradle
