I thought the reading from this time is helpful in the sense that it organizes all the things we know about writing a successful essay together and summarized the key points to them. The first part about developing a genre to the style of writing seems to be newer for me, because I had never really thought of writing my papers in the forms of genre and how even a single genre can be subdivided into different subgenres. The example it gave us was pretty good I think because for instance when comparing a thesis with a hypothesis, though both of them have similar functions, and while knowing their slight differences, by no means had I ever considered it to be a “genre difference”. The back parts to the readings are more familiar regarding the understanding of ethos, logos, pathos, and the process of inventing, drafting, revising, and editing since we’ve discussed about them in class before.
