Purpose: To express emotion without the feeling of sadness.
The main purpose behind my This I believe essay is to express all of the things that I have no talked about for some time now. I have never experienced anything like Hurricane Sandy before and it made me realize a lot about myself that I've been afraid to share. The essay has helped me get through a hard time by realizing that good things come from the worst of times.
Audience: Majority of females and my professor.
A majority of my audience lives in some area of New Jersey and was affected in some way by the hurricane, therefore they can relate to the things that I am saying. I want my audience to empathize with mine as well as many other situations, but not feel bad afterwards. This essay is not to evoke pain or suffering from the victims of Sandy, but more so to show hope and progress. At the end of this I want my audience to feel hopeful that Toms River and every other area affected by Sandy will make a full recovery.
Strategies:
Rhetoric Appeals:
Ethos: My essay establishes that I have grown up in Toms River and spent my entire life living there. This demonstrates my credibility in that I understood first hand how horrible the devastation of Sandy was, and how important community was in my towns recovery.
Pathos: My audience can relate to my essay because a majority of them live in New Jersey and are aware of how detrimental the storm was to different parts of the state.
Tone: Hopeful, yet realistic. I want my audience to look forward to the future instead of dwelling on the past.
Accessibility: My audio is shown above my slideshow for my audience to access in any way they want.
Design: The color of the font will be black and centered on the page just as previous posts. The design will be bold and dominant.
Arrangement: My audio will come first, then my slideshow, and then my paper.
Technological Choices: I used SoundCloud for the audio piece of my presentation. I would like to implement sound into the background; however, I'm not really sure how to do that.
Presentation Choices: I would like to read my paper out loud (I hate hearing the sound of my voice) with the lights off while the slideshow plays behind me, with the sound of the ocean implemented into the slideshow.
A Plan for Completion: I currently need to finish my slideshow because there a few more pictures I want to include and I don't feel that they are in the right order just yet. My final draft of my paper is done, now I just to need to find a way to add the sound of the ocean into the slideshow.
A Plan for Testing: A roommate of mine lives in LBI and can relate on a deeper level to my essay. I plan to have her read it and provide suggestions of anything I may have missed. She will also go through my slideshow.
