What signals and relays are used? Something that complicates the thought of why I do it. The organization of Pathos, Logos, and Ethos in most of my works were built upon personal tastes and responding to new input from learning as a student. I struggled most with avoiding the “known, knowns” I mean to say that my own conclusions are left out because I am already familiar with them. Just look at the first drafts of my “This I Believe” essay wherein I state in the opening lines that “The surety of my past..” It hurts to see it, of course the audience knows I have a past, I am here in the now, and would not even need to say it this way if I popped into existence from another reality.

In my multi-modal presentation I wanted to focus on the viewership as anyone who wished to participate. My idea was to show anyone that they could in fact draw by creating an interactive presentation that involved them just like the revision to my “this I …show more content…

I noted how much time I had and the realities of asking people to sit down with me so that I could sketch them, in my research I found that illustrators prefer not actually approaching the subject, instead they seek to capture the subject in their natural state as quickly as possible. For each essay I would try to keep away from overusing the same words at the beginning of a sentence, because, when we
