Essay #2 Reflection



After finishing my second essay, this time about the use of ethos, logos, and pathos, I still find that I struggle with various aspects of my writing style. I definitely feel as though I have improved since my first essay, but I know that I still have a long way to go with honing my skills. Although I’ve written multitudes of essays in the past regarding ethos, logos, and pathos, I felt like I was required to go into strenuous depth in this assignment, which made me realize that maybe I didn’t know as much about the subject as I had previously thought I did. I found most difficulty determining which aspects of Hitchens’ article referred to logos, which I have realized was my weakest argument in constructing this essay. Other than that, I personally felt that I was able to go a little bit deeper in my analysis of Hitchens’ work than I was in my previous essay about Lady Gaga and the death of sex. In addition, I was able to learn more interesting information, such as what it felt like to be water boarded and the severe implications associated with it. I think this essay served as another step in the right direction in furthering my writing career.
