Chapter 3 Response

In response to Chapter 3, there were a few points that will come in handy when writing a paper. The idea of messages persuading through their angle of vision is an important point in writing an effective message. The example of talking about a party to your friend or your grandma is effective in explaining that the writer needs to keep their audience in mind when writing a paper. This means the type of language used, the details included or excluded, and the kind of image you may want to present. Writing to college students about the same thing you write about to your family, one wouldn't necessarily address the two in the same manner.
Another important concept was the rhetorical triangle, talking about logos, pathos, and ethos. Credibility, engaging emotions and interests, and appearing to be logical are all very important in writing an effective paper. Using these appeals are going to add to how effective your paper is because of the importance of what it is they address. Most importantly, what both of these concepts address is the audience. The audience being addressed in writing is the most important thing to keep in mind, because that's going to influence many dimensions of the paper and how it is perceived.
