Response to Course Material
The course is a learning opportunity for developing excellent communication through writing, editing and revising. I might experience difficulties in passing a convincing message to the audience who look at different figures of speech. I aim to make use of rhetoric language as a means of bringing out the impressive and persuasive effect which makes the material more relevant. Sometimes implementation of such language does not come out as sincere or meaningful which reduces the value of the thoughts passed. It is also difficult to deal with controversial topics as the context does not always favor all the targeted audience.
