Revising
According to our book, “Revision combines the root word vision with the prefix re-, meaning again. When you revise, you see again: You develop a new vision of your essay’s logic and organization” (Ede, 338). The point of revision is to make the changes that will benefit the essay’s organization and flow. Revising is crucial to the improvement of an essay. “Revising can be the most rewarding part of the writing process” (Ede, 338). The first draft is important because it allows one to get his/her ideas down on paper. Once the first draft has been finished the next step is to revise it. This will allow the writer to refine the first draft and edit out the kinks that hinder the overall success of the essay. Revision is different from editing because revision is more than just correcting mistakes. It is a process that allows growth, change and sometimes requires risks. For my rhetorical analysis there are still revisions that I need to make. The biggest revision that needs to be done is fixing the organization of the essay. Organization is key to the overall success of the essay, if the organization is sloppy then the essay will be hard to follow and understand. One strategy that I think will help is “asking the big question” (Ede, 340). Using this strategy will help in fixing the organization of my essay. It will help me evaluate if my rhetorical analysis has maintained its primary goal.
