Be a good analyzer

Be a good analyzer is not an easy and relaxed thing, it is really based on your good understanding on an article and your excellent analyzing towards an article. Good understanding on an article requires your reading and comprehension ability, but there still are some tips. Reading strategically, previewing a text (such as reading the title or headings) are good ways to improve your reading speed and help you get a general idea quickly. Also, you should consider the rhetorical situation, think about your initial response, annotate, play the believing and doubt game, think about how the text works, summarize and so on. Only by doing and consider all the things about, can you be a good analyzer.

Be a good reader

Writing is of great importance, while being a good reader is also very important. Being a good reader, you need to understand and be able to analyze the text. There are many things to be considered when analyzing text. You should make a summary of text first, since the readers do not know the text you analyzing. You need to pay much attention to the context, make a clear judgment on the text and have details to support your conclusions. You should choose a text before analyze, consider the rhetorical situation and also generate ideas and text. Understanding the stance, purpose, audience and media of a text is necessary. After doing the steps before, you need to write a draft out, make some revisions., edit and proofreading.

A good end to your article

We have done much before finishing a good article. We use the proper rhetorical situations, generate ideas and text, draft, describe, narrate and dialogue, assess, get response and revise. They all play very important and irreplaceable place in a good passage. After that you need another step to make it better. That is the editing and proofreading. You should go over the whole passage and make some edition. Check whether your each paragraph concentrates on your own main idea and has topic sentence. Check whether each sentence is completed, various and use the right expression. Check each word presents a correct meaning and great shows your stance, purpose. Then do the last step-proofreading. Check the wrong words spelling and mistakes. Read aloud to help you make a good passage.

Your good passage needs yourself

Before I had learned the rhetorical situations, literacy narratives, generating ideas and text, drafting, describing, narrating and dialogue. Each of them is the important element of a good passage. Today’s topic assessing your own writing and response and revising needs you. Finish writing a passage doesn’t mean it has already been completed and ready to hand in. It needs your own revision and assessment. Go over the passage and then ask yourself what’s your theme and purpose of it, whether your details and examples support it, what about the organization and rhetorical situations and so on. These are very useful steps for a good article. If there are some things you feel not good enough, and then revise it. After revising and assessing it for many times, the passage will become better. You should conquer yourself first, then you can conquer others.

Open a new world for me

I have to say it is very amazing. If the former readings give me the general idea about effective and correct writing or the reading, the readings this time have opened a new world for me. The big problems exists in my passages are the lack of the logical connections between paragraphs, the skilful method for composing the events and the attractive description. But after reading the materials, I learn a lot. I know that adding some details when you describe something will help the audiences imagine and understand as well as make the passage vivid and fascinating. Also, you can use the objectivity and subjectivity, the vantage point to describe something. Narrating, however, gives the idea of how to compose the whole article carefully i.e. put them in sequence and also the details. We can use the dialogue to support our opinions, too.

Think it, try it

After reading many kinds of stories I begin to have an idea about what are literacy narratives. It is not as easy as I think before. The title you give, the stance you have, the rhetorical situations you use, the main idea you show is much different and can give the readers various feelings. Within it are the ideas and text. There are many steps or methods for generating ideas and text, including freewriting, looping, listing, clustering, cubing, questioning, outlining, letter writing and discovery drafting. Before this I don’t know the clear way to write a story. Maybe I do the freewriting or listing before, but it is not systematic. I will follow the way I learn now. Think before writing, try it without hesitating.

Find the right way

It is good for us to find the right way when doing everything. Of course, the writing is not an exception. As it is said in the book” we face some kind of rhetorical situation. We have a purpose, a centain audience, a particular stance, a genre, and a medium to consider-and often as not a design.”( by Richard Bullock Maureen Daly Goggin ,P1) I do not know whether you have a general idea or not about the reading after reading this. But I do have. I know the important elements of the rhetorical situation and begin to think about it instead of reading blindly. I will begin to think what the author’s purpose is, or how the author attracts his/her audiences’ attention such questions before and after reading a passage. The purpose, audience, stance, genre, medium and design is so important not only for reading and understanding other’s passage but also for writing our own passage. Literacy Narrative is a kind of genres. After reading some examples, I find literacy narrative is very attractive and amazing. It has a soul in every literacy narrative. A good story and livily detail is indispensable for a prominent passage. Topic, rhetorical situation, ideas, ways of organizing the passage are also important thing to be thought and chose in one literacy narrative. Finding the right way is a wise option whenver you do anything.
