Description: I will use both literal and figurative description in my essay about "getting lost." Literally, I will describe the physical and emotional feelings of getting lost like zoning out. I will also be able to figuratively describe getting lost by using similes or metaphors to compare it to unlike things.
Definition: Elaborating on the essential qualities of getting lost may be difficult as the subject is so ambiguous. I don't foresee using the rhetorical method of definition in my essay at this point but that is subject to change.
Exemplification: I may use exemplification by exaggerating aspects of getting lost.
Cause/Effect: I will use this rhetorical mode by showing the positive (maybe some negative) effects of getting lost- i.e. how getting lost can be a therapy by which people can clear their minds.
Division/Classification: I do not see myself breaking down nor classifying different aspects of getting lost.
Argument: I may use articles and other publications to support my claims about how getting lost can be a positive thing.
Narration: I will give examples times when I have gotten lost.
Process Analysis: I will give detailed steps in which one can meditate and reach the point of getting lost.
Nice work, Jordan.
ReplyDeleteIn terms of using definition, how can one know if he/she is lost? The answer to that question would have to include a definition of "lost."
