Outline 2

I am going to start with the basics.  This includes how to write the body, conclusion and introduction, and where to place them.  Next i will explain the importance of knowing an audience and how to identify an audience.  Then i will go over various rhetorical tools that should be used in the essay.  And after that i will cover the drafting process.

Process

I am going to start with the basics.  I want to show the importance of doing the body first then the conclusion second and then the introduction/thesis statement last.  I will show the order that we do them in and explain what they are and why they work.  Next i want to show the reader some of the rhetorical tools we use and why.  I like cause and effect so i will show them that as the first of the tools.  Next i will explain compare and contrast.  I want to give enough detail of the things i am going to teach so that anyone can understand it.  I will probably take some time in explaining about how important knowing an audience is and how that affects the writing.  I don't know if this is all i am going to do but it is all i can think of for now.

Introductions

The importance of an introduction cannot be overstated.  It is one of the most important things in an article.  without an introduction the article feels aimless, it is hard to tell what the article is about.  The introduction is so important because that is usually where the thesis statement is.
        The perfect introduction should have a clearly defined thesis statement without it being too obvious or boring.  It should give a rundown on what the article is going to be about.  And it should set the stage for the rest of the article, hopefully getting the reader involved right away.

Definitions part 2

My first definition is video games.  Video games are a form of entertainment that uses computer graphics to put a controllable image on a screen.  This is usually a character that is being controlled by the player.  The next definition is violence.  Violence is someone using force to hurt another person.  The last definition is gamer. A gamer is a person who plays video games as a hobby.

Definitions

The importance of definitions in reaching an audience is pretty simple.  There are many times an author may use words that their audience has never heard before, and using definitions can get the audience up to speed quickly and without too much straining.  The best example of this is when an author is writing about something specific to them or their job.  They might be using words or slang that only people in their field know.  If they define them then the audience will learn and understand those words.

Rhetorical Terms

Rhetorical terms are the terms that are used to elevate the language in writing.  They are used to get the authors point across as well as make certain elements known in an easy and more accessible way for the reader.  There are subject specific terms that are used in writing that apply to the subject at hand.  These are used to speed up the process of explaining things to the audience.
       These are five rhetorical terms that can be used for a visual or descriptive or compare and contrast essay.  The first one is a visual gaze.  A visual gaze is when a person looks at something and it reminds them of something else.  The next is master narratives.  Master narratives is when cultural stories or histories are used to persuade people to a certain point of view.  The next is contrast. Contrast is used when an author is going to contrast something. Another is persuasive themes.  Persuasive themes are the way tools are used to persuade the audience to have the point of view that is desired.  And finally the term resonance.  Resonance is when a story connects with the target audience, the story resonated with them.

Compare and Contrast

Compare and contrast is something we use everyday.  It is when we look at the similarities or the differences between two things.  The things we look at and compare could be anything.  They could people, places, objects, anything that can be compared to anything else.

Here are  some of the tools we use to compare and contrast.  Analogy, we use analogies all the time.  An analogy is when a person uses something familiar to describe something else.  The next tool is subject by subject.  This is when you look at subject A and everything subject A is.  And then you look at subject B and everything subject B is. And then you look at the similarities and differences of A and B relative to each other.  The last tool is point by point.  This is when you look at subject A  and then look at point A.  And then you look at subject B and point A as well.  Then you compare the two to see the similarities and differences.
