It is amazing how working in an area of interest affects the outcome of a certain project. Before the course RWS 1301 my interest in writing was minimal. The logic that followed my mindset was that if I was not good in something it was due to nature instead of nurture. In the beginning of the semester, I found interesting how discourse communities can be found in our everyday lives. These communities can be anything from student organization to a business team. It was my honor to analyze an extremely successful business team as my discourse community. RWS was than a class, it became a lifestyle. By using rhetorical analysis, the class gave me the tools to analyze music, news reports, and even articles eliminating the smoke of false facts, leaving only the truth. Using an annotated bibliography to support claims, I addressed a community problem and proposed an educated solution. In the end, it was neat to see how all the skills acquired thoroughout the class were used in addressing a community problem in the means of a PSA. RWS 1301 will always have an influence in the way I perceive the world.
