So I realize this is rather late and I am lucky to receive even half credit, better late than never I guess. Last week was a whole buffet of just different types of moves that authors use. We went through so many different examples and definitions of rhetorical terms such as parallelism and style. Parallelism has to basically with structure of the writing. It helps the passage to actually flow better when your points are not thrown around everywhere. Something about style that I found out tied in with last week’s emphasis was moves, they are what help define a person’s signature or style. Which is pretty much the whole emphasis for the past two weeks in class. One thing that I found interesting and actually entertaining while demonstrating the effectiveness of moves is the resume activity. For example we looked at Charlie Cheesecake’s resume and clearly saw the ineffectiveness of the moves he made, while Bradford’s was a knock out of the park resume. Different situations call for different moves, just as you don’t put someone’s arm in a sling because they have a headache. And you are not going to hear Kanye rapping about what he ordered for lunch at Subway, it just doesn’t flow. Moves defined this week too with almost secrecy; you could definitely tell at the “styles” we were working on were actually a series of moves that have been meshed together.
By the way, if you haven't listened to Adele's new song, you need to: Hello
