What was specifically revised from one draft to another?
I did not change the overall structure of my rhetorical analysis. I just refined the minor mistakes that did not make sense in my paper. I changed phrases that were stated in the past tense and I revised statements that were made in a more passive state. I also put in a bit more of analysis after my quotes and explained what the quote meant along with relating back to the thesis. I also added a secondary source to help explain what deontology means.
Point to global changes: how did you reconsider your thesis or organization?
Surprisingly I did not make any global changes to my paper, as I believe that it was not necessary. I believe my thesis and organization of my paper was set up around my thesis well enough. I did not need to drastically change what I had originally wrote.
What led you to these changes? A reconsideration of audience? A shift in purpose?
Since I did not make any global changes, I was able to address my audience with the original purpose/message/thesis that I had.
How do these changes affect your credibility as an author?
Again, since I did not make global changes to my paper, I did not gain or lose credibility as the author.
How will these changes better address the audience or venue?
Since no changes made, the audience was addressed the same way in a global sense as my original draft had stated.
Point to local changes: how did you reconsider sentence structure and style?
I revised the format of many of my sentences to only have them better represent the overall thesis and how I could connect my different points to it. My revised sentence structure and style included more exact words that gave more value to each body paragraph that I had. I got rid of some of the sentence structures that had the past tense. I also scrapped some of the passive sentence structures and incorporated more active structures.
How will these changes assist your audience in understanding your purpose?
These changes helped give my audience a better perspective of what my purpose said. With better use of quotes and analyzing them in a more informative way, I believe, really helped my readers gauge more interest in the cultural values I talked about. By changing the way I conveyed each paragraph's meaning, readers were able to have an easier time which position they could choose at the end of my analysis.
Did you have to reconsider the conventions of the particular genre in which you are writing?
Since I wrote in a nonfiction genre, I could not drastically change the genre I would write my paper in. Although, I was able to give readers a more expressive feeling in my paper after revising, compared to a more technically informative way in my first draft.
Finally, how does the process of reflection help you reconsider your identity as a writer?
After reflecting on my writing, I find that truly revising a paper and going through many steps of it helped me realize that I could in fact use my information to draw in more readers and give them an easier decision to make at the end of my papers. These decisions are important as the more successful I am at having more readers choose a position, the more successful I am at emphasizing the importance of my thesis.
