3. Retorical Analysis Review

The first essay of College is officially turned in! Though essays are never very fun, this experience has eased my anxieties. I was able to be successful in getting the essay done in a timely fashion, as well as produce quality work. 

The success of my essay was founded on the analysis of the speech. As I started off, I chose a speech that I was passionate about, and found interesting. I then broke it down, scanning for literary devices, and the reason that those devices were there. By analyzing the ways the author presented his arguments, I was able to develop a format to base my essay on.
Another important aspect to an essay's success is to properly time things out. I wrote my essay on Friday, so I had a whole week to edit any flaws out. By giving myself plenty of time, I felt much less stressed than in past essays. That lack of stress helped me focus and preform better on the essay.
The final tool I used for success was the writing center. I went in on Monday to the writing center to review my work with a writing major. He was able to give me formating tips, as well as share with me where my reasoning made less sense. By going into the center, I was able to get feedback from a reliable source.
Overall, the first essay of my college career was a good learning experience. By starting off right, I am able to set a standard for the rest of my essays.
