Some of the rhetorical gazes used for imagery in a paper are: familial, consumer, scholastic, national image, and sustainability. The familial views are ones that make the audience connect with a certain memory or time in their life. This could be flashbacks of a child being born or maybe a certain family vacation that sticks out. This helps the audience connect personally with the text from memories they had in their own lives. With this image below it appeals with emotion and it allows someone to have flashbacks to memories in their own lives.
Another gaze is the scholastic gaze which is the appeal to school related subjects. This could also kind of be related to familial views because it can take you back to a memory that you had in school. When I think of school I think of pencils and calculators. So that is an image that automatically takes me back to school when I see it.
Another gaze is the national gaze. This one has a big appeal to emotions because a lot of the times it is portrayed in pictures of stuff that has gone wrong in the world. It can also be an appeal to patriotism though and can really influence a nation. The image below is an image of the American flag and when people see it they automatically think of the freedoms in which we have in the great land of America.
The images that we see on a daily basis all have importance to us and when we see them they can take us back to memories we have had in our lives and they often can make us have emotional ties with the images. When you look at an image you automatically sense something and that is what these gazes are. They are the initial feelings we get when we see an image.

Another gaze I talked about earlier is a consumer gaze. This can appeal to people with buying stuff. With consumer stuff being about money, the images portrayed in society are most likely sales and good deals going on. When a person sees a sign with a sale on it they are automatically intrigued and want to know more details about it.
Another gaze is the scholastic gaze which is the appeal to school related subjects. This could also kind of be related to familial views because it can take you back to a memory that you had in school. When I think of school I think of pencils and calculators.

When using cause and effect in a paper it is really effective for connecting with your audience. It is a process in which you can see direct consequences from actions in a story. Many essays have multiple cause and effects in it. Also many of the effects might have multiple causes and many causes might have multiple effects. It describes the story and the consequences and what's happening. In these cause and effect situations there are initial causes, initial consequences, and ripple effects too. Many situations have the same patterns but just different story lines.
When a writer analyzes a cause and effect text they want it to have the order of the situations from least importance to greatest importance to the story. This allows build up in the writing and it makes it more interesting for the audience to read. Also, with cause and effect it allows the reader to come up with a resolution to the problems and help them relate the to real life, so it goes hand and hand with the theme of the paper.

The process of peer-review is the process in which people in your classes review your paper before you submit it for the final time. The process includes constructive criticism and feedback from someone other than yourself. When writing and reviewing a paper on your own you sometimes look over the mistakes you may have made, but this is where peer-review plays a big part in your paper. It allows the reader to get a new set of eyes on their paper so they can make it the best paper it can be and so that will hopefully give them a good grade on the paper.
When peer-reviews happen, the person reviewing has a chance to tell the writer what works with their paper and what doesn't work with their paper. This allows the writer to change things and make them better so that when they give it to the teacher for their final grade, it will most likely be their best work.
This is a vital process because without it your paper will probably not be your best work and the teacher will probably give you a bad grade on it. It allows the writer to get more eyes on the paper before the final submission. It also helps the person reviewing the paper because they might find stuff that is wrong in your paper, and go back and look at their paper and have the same thing wrong. It is basically a win-win situation when you look at it!

In Zambrano's essay on the history of King Arthur, she uses many rhetorical tools to connect with her audience. One of those tools she uses is called plasticity, which is the ability to change and reshape your essay in order to accommodate a new audience. She uses these when she transitions into different opinions of the King Arthur stories. Another tool she uses is called piecemeal, which is the term when you piece different sources or parts of a story together to get a new and better story. This has happened a lot over the years because the story of King Arthur has been changed many times. But the author uses this as a tool to piece together all the different parts of the story told over time to make one bigger story that the audience can connect with.
Some of the other tools she uses in this essay are the window of opportunity and open- ended closure. The window of opportunity means its a short amount of time in which a story can be told, which connects and goes together with the tool of open-minded closure which is when the author leaves the story without an ending so the reader can research or make up their own end to the story. These two tools go hand in hand because they allow the reader to connect with the text on their own. They can make inferences and grow a more emotional bond to the text. With the window of opportunity, they can kind of make up the story as they go, especially with this story of King Arthur because there are so many different parts. This is also helpful for the tool of open-ended closure because the reader is allowed to make conclusions on a story that does not have an ending and so it makes them either make up their own end of the story, or research the real ending and it helps them connect with the text more!

Some other rhetorical tools you can use while writing a paper are connecting with your audience, and using transition sentences to smooth your paper out. As a writer you should be aware of who your audience is and what the best way to connect with them is. You want them to get the most out of your paper and to take things out of it so they can use them in their lives. Which brings me to theme. All papers should have a theme in which the audience can learn from. Its something they can take away from the paper and hopefully apply it to their daily lives. But in order to have the audience connect with your paper you need it to be smooth and well organized.
When writing a paper you want the reader to be able to follow the prompt that you are given. You want them to be able to read the paper without getting confused. With narratives especially, you want to have solid transition sentences that allow the reader to go from one situation to the next in a smooth manner. Transition sentences are typically only a couple sentences long but are vital in the creation of a narrative. It makes it easy to read and makes the paper have a good flow. This will allow them to get the most out of their experience with your paper. Writers can also use tools called flashbacks and foreshadows to help the reader stay connected with the text, they can also tie some of the situations together and make the reader have predictions of what will happen later on in the paper.

In class we read an article about the importance of narratives and it shows that narratives, if done properly, allow the audience to connect with the text better. They are a series of events in chronological order that are put together by transition sentences. They are stories in which the audience can connect with the writer and gain lessons from them. They are also important because you can use a narrative to connect to a bigger idea or theme of your paper. People can use stories to kind of help get the point across or to help find the meaning of a bigger subject.
The rhetorical tools that a writer can use are things like setting, theme, characters, and plot lines. All of these tools set a better stage for the paper and it allows the audience to connect with it without being confused the whole time. Setting can allow the audience to imagine where the story is taking place, characters can be there for the audience to connect with and gain lessons from, and the theme can also be a lesson to the readers and it also helps them to connect with the characters more. The plot can have many different tools within it too like foreshadowing and flashbacks that can help the readers connect with the story as a whole.

For the basic writing structure of an essay, it consists of a introduction paragraph, 3 to 5 body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph. Some essays can be longer upon the teachers request. The introduction paragraph consists of the beginning information on what your whole paper is going to talk about. It will have a claim and will talk about the key points in your essay. The body paragraphs will be the main points you are trying to get your audience to learn. They will have a topic sentence somewhere within your paragraphs. Also, each paragraph in your essay should be around 5-8 sentences. The conclusion paragraph should have a wrap up of everything that has been said throughout the essay, and will most likely have a "call to action" or kind of a conclusion on how you can apply it into your (the reader's) life.
Most people like to start the writing process by just writing everything they know about the topic on a page and later those will most likely become their body paragraphs. A lot of people spend at least an hour trying to figure out how to start their paper and what they are going to talk about and it could save them a lot of time if they just got everything they know about the topic out first. Then you can sort it out into paragraphs and make your conclusion next. The conclusion should be easy now because it is just summarizing what you just talked about at the beginning of the writing process in your body paragraphs. Last of all, you will do your introduction paragraph, this will also be easier because you already know what you will be talking about throughout your essay, so you just have to put your main points into your paragraph so the reader can get interested in your essay right off the bat.
In writing an essay you want to be as connected to your audience as possible. You want to know what their interests are so you can allow them to have a positive experience with your paper. By connecting with them, they will most likely give you a good report on your paper and it will allow them to understand it more and get more out of it. You want to make them think about your text in a deeper level and allow them to reach out and discover more about the topic of your essay.
