Intro to Portfolio/about me


Letter to Myself
Dear Future Skyler,
Hey there boy. I am writing a letter to my future self. I will be able to open this in the fall of 2012. The purpose of this letter is to inform my future self about the things I learned in the wonderful and beautiful Professor Mutti’s English course. When writing an essay some things to consider are rhetoric and exigence. Skyler, how you could you forget rhetoric? It is the effective use of language to persuade, inform, or educate. Sound a bit more familiar? That’s because you use rhetoric more than you think, for example when trying to get things to swing your way, or talking to a girl. Now exigence is also very important. It is the problem that is impacted through the writing. So for easier terms to understand, it is the subject of which you are writing.
Writing is an easy task, when given allotted time and applying the various writing techniques that have been taught through this course. How could anyone forget to use logos, ethos and pathos? Logos is for the logic, Ethos is to prove credibility, and pathos is to appeal to the viewer’s emotions. With all this is your tool belt of writing Skyler, you should be able to conquer some essays easily right?
