On this site, you will find examples of the work I have completed so far in my college career. This website will be updated as I progress through college to portray my best work to date. At the moment, you will find an essay, a speech, and a few blog posts which I have completed throughout my first year at Penn State. As I dwell into the next few years of my college career, more examples of my literary work will be added in order to portray an updated and current view of my writing and speaking abilities.
Prior to my Spring 2012 semester, I did not have very much experience with rhetoric and its overwhelming presence in everything we do. However, upon entry into the Rhetoric and Civic Life class that I took during that semester, it became clear that rhetoric, if used effectively, can drastically improve your writing and speaking skills. More importantly, I have learned how important ethos, pathos, and logos are in writing and speaking. With this knowledge, I believe I am beginning to develop the ability to apply these rhetorical skills to my work in a way that clarifies and strengthens my overall message.
