I plan on looking at http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/
for my rhetorical analysis piece. Rhetorical Analysis is the breakdown of
different strategies and choices made by an author accompanied by an
explanation of how these different strategies and choices work together to make
the piece what it is. In this analysis you will see me breakdown the topics
chosen, and the overall layout of the page.
In terms of intellectual standards as set by NC State
University, the two most accurately depicted by this blog are depth and
relevance. It covers important topics and not just for face value, instead of
solely reporting on medicine and doctors for their face value, it goes into
detail about some faults, specifically I plan to talk about the article that
covers the way in which doctors behave. Relevance seems to be a second nature
to this site and inherent because as a blog about wellness and medicine one
would assume that the articles are related to such and they indeed are. It
covers all topics and has interactive elements in which the readers can test
their knowledge that was either obtained prior to discovering the site or
learned from time spent on the site. My background knowledge to this topic is
that I am currently planning on pursuing a career in medicine and it has always
been a huge interest and passion of mine. I have taken multiple AP and general
courses that cover similar material on a more basic level. This gives me to
ability to attest to the simpler facts for their accuracy and possibly add more
information and clarity into choices made by the authors in terms of omissions of certain things and why they chose to right about a specific topic.
In the end I hope to
learn a multitude of new things about medicine and the life of a doctor, both
the bad and the good. Also this site contains many different interesting
articles that can help me to gain just some more general knowledge on new
advancements or discoveries in the world of medicine and health. All in all I
hope that through reading the different posts I can better myself as a person
and become the best doctor that I can be.
