2. how would i define exigence? why does exigence matter in rhetorical situations?
exigence is a problem that can be talked about and resolved through talking or communicating of some sort. it can be any type of problem such as a person problem as in you need something you want something or you have a conflict with someone. or it can be a physical problem as in you broke your leg or arm. just any type of problem.
exigence matters in my opinion because without it there can not be any there can not be a rhetorical situation. the rhetors need a exigence to create a rhetorical situation to get the intended audience thinking.
4. What are constraints? Bitzer says i would think of constraints as aids rather than restrictions, how can that be?
constraints are things that are good or bad that can effect the way the audience takes the rhetorical situation which in turn also effect the outcome of the rhetorical situation.
when Bitzer says that i would think of constraints more as aids rather than restrictions he is right. aids affects the pay someone acts just as constraints do. When someone has aids(bad things) people do not want to have sex with then anymore or be in a relation ship with them. Like if a rhetorical situation has bad things (aids) it has people not want it or answer in a different way then intended, etc. it does dot prevent people from making that decision. like when someone has aids and they tell their spouse. if their spouse still wants to have sex with them its their choice. bad things in rhetorical situations do not prevent people from thinking or reacting a specific way but it does lean them towards a specific situations.
5. as a writer how would it help me to be aware of my rhetorical situations and the constraints it creates?
when i am writing i have to make sure i add in the constraints i want to make my rhetorical situations strong and get the outcome i want. if i want my audience to hate what i am talking about i can add bad constraints. and vice versa if i want a good reaction to my rhetorical situation..

questions about my paper in class
how i went about writing this paper?
i typed the whole paper on my laptop.
i predominately worked on it in my dorm sitting on my bed
i wrote it in chunks such as first half and second half. i would revise it after we would go over it in class the next day the i would turn it in.
no one proof read it except for me which probably wasn't a smart chaise but everyone that i had that i would wan to read i was busy.
i added a picture, which is unlike anything else i have been doing but it seemed acceptable after talking in class about it.
it took me about three or four days total. i would work an the first half until i got that dine on one day.
i would write the last half the next day or whenever i felt necessary to continue. then would re read, edit, and revise my paper the next day. I actually ended up re reading this paper on a fourth day to see if i wanted to make any changes or if i had a different opinion on it.
the importance of the environment fro academic based writing?
if it is a week day, which most of the time it is, i write at about five sometimes six. it is normally after i shower and i have dinner cooking. have to be in a desk, bed, or couch of some sort. so i can relax. most people would say that if they were to write their paper on a couch or bed that would make them tired and want to go to sleep. that in a way the case with me as well. I'm wide awake when i start to write my paper and then i will eat then go write some more on my paper. but once i start getting drowsy i do fall asleep. i cold keep myself up and write some more but i normally do not because this is when i make the most grammar mistakes and i try and keep those to a minimum. i do not typically write in the morning because i am still a bit tired and i like to relax in t he morning and i and have a cup of coffee.
what are other external factors that hinder or help my writing?
i do not like the tv to be only or music playing. The room doesn't have to be completely silent but i do like when it for the most part remotely quiet so i can hear my self thinking.
what do i think worked well in my paper?
i think my paragraph flow was decent. you could definitely tell what paragraph when where but i could still have improved that.
what are the weaknesses of the paper?
the grammar definitely needs some work. more cohesion in my conclusion to my paragraphs.
how well have i lived up to my index card?
my gramme has improved slightly, i feel like i flow better when i write. There is still plenty of room for improvement. as there will alway be. but i do feel like i making progress.

Shitty First Drafts blog
am i aware of any patterns in my first draft writing in places or in ways that i will know that the writing will need work once i actually have the words written down.
When i write my fist draft i just write in a way that i think that would make since to both me and the reader. i almost write like i am talking or how i would explain the story to someone. i know there is going to be many misspelled words and bad grammar and the sentences might be choppy at points but i am not really worried about that when i write my first draft. once my draft is done i can then go fix my grammar, spelling, conjunctions, or anything else that needs fixing. My first draft gives me my basis of what i need to talk about in each paragraph so i can then build off of it in the paragraph or cut it down to make it better and to the point.

where am I at now. and how the past has helped me
In regards to my paper I am better at
1. reading my surroundings
2.reading how people are feeling
3. reading a situation and reacting quickly to it (writing)
4. more determined to do things better and the right way when it come to literary tasks
5. when reading think of the world from a new point of view than just mine
how my past has helped me to get to where i am today
I have been through a lot of struggles in my past just has everyone else. everyone has different struggles therefore helping them become literate in different things then i am. going through a major surgery and having to stop playing tennis for a while was an extremely hard thing for me to go through. going through it helped me realize how much i take being able to do little things fir granite. helped to also over come pain and work hard to be able to where i wanted to be again.
thesis
everyone goes through different struggles helping them become literate in different areas. My struggles have predominately been revolved around tennis helping me to become literate in not only the game of tennis, but in specific aspects of life as well.
Sherman Alexie writes that "writing was something beyond indians" (131). Wail I am not indian, his argument resonates to me because believe otherwise because my personal experience tells me different. When i went through knee surgery everyone said it was time for me to give up on my dream of becoming a college tennis player but once i was able to get back on the court i worked hard and ended up getting a few offers to colleges to play tennis for them.
in this article "sponsors of literacy," Deborah Brandt defines and then provides examples of sponsors of literacy. reflecting on my own literacy history, a certain sponsor comes to mind, my tennis coach. He comes to mind because he has taught me so many things not only in the game of tennis but in life as well.
