Reflective Writing Project Text

While I was writing my project text I encountered many difficulties, one of my difficulties was how I start my essay. I learned when I was working on my writing process that using is outline seemed to work for me. I wrote an outline of three main points I wanted to discuss during my essay and how they connected to one another.

Brainstorm for Project Text Essay:

        I.             Normal Vs. Abnormal

·         What society considered normal people and abnormal people

·         How they separated the two “types” of human beings

      II.            Learning from the mentally ill?

·         The doctor took the elephant man in with him and studied him to try to find a way to “cure” him

·         “The great Confinement” talks about how “hospitals

    III.            Abnormal people were put on a “show” and were made fun of

·    While I was writing my essay I was finally able to realize what rhetoric is. I never was able to fully understand what rhetoric was but now I understand it better. Knowing what rhetoric is helped me understand better what it is that I was going to be writing.
