Walmart is a nationwide family store. I would give Walmart 5 stars. Walmart always has what you need and the workers are very helpful. Walmart makes sure that you are taken care of. The store always has a worker who can help you.

In the article,Backpacks vs Briefcases,Laura Bolin Carroll mentions states that rhetorical messages always occur in a specific situation or context. she says there are three parts to understanding the context of a rhetorical moment. The three parts are, exigence, audience and constraints. The audience are those who the recipients of the rhetorical message.

In the article, Letter From Tuscany (Where We Get Our Wool From, Madalina Preda shares with the reader about her experience learning how recycled wool is made. As she shares her experience I have also learned a few things. In the article it talks about how this company recycled wool to restore it, make it into clothing, then ship it to stores and sell the recycled wool again. A part that stood out to me was when Preda mentioned that Patagonia saved over 20,000 tons of CO2e compared to using virgin materials.Which she mentioned was the same amount of energy used to cover in 2,400 houses for a whole year. I had a few questions that rose from the article like, how much of this recycled material gets shipped back out? Do buyers like it better because its recycled?

In the article, What Is Academic Writing, Lennie Irvine gives us advice on how to help college essays and become better writers. What I took from this article is that you will be a more successful writer when you understand what you are doing and what the paper will be on. In high school I didn’t have English classes that really focused on how to write a good paper until my senior year. Senior year I had a teacher that really focused on preparing us how to write a good paper for college. I have only written a few papers and the ones I actually felt good about and actually put the time into were the ones I was interested in. Like Lennie Irvine said in his article writing is like being blind folded with your hands behind your back because you do not know who you are writing for and most the time what your writing about. The section in the article where Lennie Irvine talked about the myths stood out to me because I always saw more as rules I had to follow to become a good writer. I agreed with a lot of what was said. I believe that you should have very few to no grammar errors in your paper. Also good transition sentences are very important. Good transition sentences help make your paper make more sense. In your writing you should always have something that supports your claim. I look at essays like if you were to walk up to somebody on the street and hand them your paper, they should be able to read it and not be confused at the end.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
