Deadline #12 HW #4 Three Separate Sections (Draft)

Majority of my paper consisted of critical word choice. I used logos and ethos (emotion and statistics) to draw my readers in. My introduction consisted of a story of a young boy who are "He always likes to go in the woods and watch the deer frolic through the meadows or the raccoons scurrying up the old oak trees like rock climbers." Using similes and emotion will bring in my audience in and will interest them to see the rest of my argument. I also used logos to show my audience the facts about hunting which could influence my audience's position at the end of the paper. Example of logos in my paper is "whitetail deer are becoming serious traffic hazards. According to the National Safety Council, motor vehicles nationwide kill more than 350,000 deer and approximately 100 drivers and passengers a year." Startling facts like this one will show credible evidence and emotion which could win over the audience. Using word choice is a great asset of a paper to win over an audience for an argument. My introduction and conclusion had important structure to it. My introduction consisted of a story which has a point that readers could see and understand my argument. My conclusion had the structure of speculating the future. My conclusion reflected on what would happen next if a law or if hunting stayed in America and was never fought in court anymore. My introduction and conclusion was structured critically to allow my readers to understand all of my ideas and not have any confusion. In addition, my structure in my paragraphs allow easy reading for my audience. My whole paper consisted of punctuation. One paragraph that stands out is a quote from Luke A. Dommer, Chairman, Committee to Abolish Sport Hunting. I had to make sure to indent and use quotations properly because it was a large quote and it became its own paragraph. Other than that, I had to make sure I had commas in the right place.
