Issue 8

The title of the eight and final issue of the textbook Understanding rhetoric is going public. The main idea of this issue talks about using all the knowledge from the previous issues, and finally publish your paper. There are three main parts to this issue. Launching into the future, navigating among media, and entering the final frontier of publication. The first part talks about how you should look a different genres for future papers you may write.

The second part of the issue mainly talks about the use of social media in genres. It says "we can see genre conventions at play in many online spaces." Genres can be found all over the online space, in this issue this is shown as outer space to help the idea get across. What they mean with this is outer space is endless and the internet pretty much is as well. The third part of the issue mainly talks about finally publishing your paper. This is shown by the characters in a space ship going into to hyper drive. This is a metaphor to show you are putting it on the endless internet. The issue then stresses on the idea of copyright. you have to make sure your information is credible. On top of that you have to make sure you cite your sources if you do use other peoples information.

Issue 7 Blog post

The 7th issue in the book Understanding Rhetoric is called Rethinking Revision. The main points covered in this issue of the book are, Looking beyond the red ink, reviewing rhetorically, seeing through others eyes, and revising radically. This whole issue mainly talks about how to properly revise texts that you have written. It shows the reader multiple ways on how to properly revise a text.You first have to plan on what has to be changed about the text, aka whats wrong with it at this point in time. The author then has to get feedback from other people to make sure he/she didn't miss any important thing. people often overlook small things, so it is important to seek feedback to make sure you don't. The next step is to draft a backwards-outline, this will make sure you include all information needed withing the text. Sometimes you might have to rethink your thesis. make slight adjustments to make sure the whole text makes sense. Make sure you ask the question about what you are really arguing about in your text. This makes sure that you get your point across properly and without any repetitive or missing information. Revising your essay is a crucial step before you get to your final draft in writing. Sometimes people make one or two drafts before the final text is officially done. The final step before finalizing your text is to proof read. This makes sure that there aren't any mistakes hidden within the text. Again getting feedback in this department is important to finalizing your text.
