This piece I felt gave me a much more freedom to present an argument that I may or may not closely relate to. During the process of outlining and writing this piece, I wanted to talk about rigidity in structure taught in pre-college courses. This phrasing I feel is much more eloquent that "the five paragraph essay", and in order to obtain and hold a stance, I needed to present a mature and powerful voice.
The style I choose for this piece was a formal letter addressed to the Commissioner of Education for the State of Florida. Given the audience for this piece, several challenges were seemingly present that would, if done wrong, impede me from a successful delivery of the main thesis. The use of rhetorical situation was key when structuring and delivering this piece. Arguments needed to be presented in a way that does not misrepresent but encompasses the voice of many students.
When finishing this piece, I felt pretty confident that I presented a good main point and substantiated it well. As a result, I was thoroughly pleased with the final feedback on this piece. If I can carry this ability to deliver from this particular writing context, to many other writing contexts, I would vastly improve my overall writing skills. That is something I need to work on.
