Authors Note for final draft:
My writing process for this project basically started with research, followed by a short and not complete rough draft, and then my final paper! I felt that I was abl to find really good sources for this paper, and they they helped me understand the topic, therefore when it came to writing the paper, I didnt have too much difficulty becuase I understood what was going on. I feel that I could have done a better job drafting this parer and getting it editied by my peers or possibly the writing center.

Unit 2 research experience
My reasearch experience for my topic wwent well becasue I was able to find a number of plausible primary sources. I was also very intersted in what I was researchnig, which made it a lot easier to spend a good amount of time researching. However, while I was researching my topic, I found it very difficult to stay on my subject without drifting off topic because there were so many intereesting articles concernong sub topics. One interesting thing I read about was how New York socialites rise among others, and how they officially begin to carry the title as a New York Socialite. The sources that I found cover my topic becuase I found sources from all angles and sides of my research topic. I was able to get a good idea about y subject becasue I had first hand stories and experiences from many different parties involved. All of my sources are connected in a way because they deal with the same subject, and with how one another view the topic.

One example of an argument that I found is a Betty Crocker cupcake mix box. This could be considered both an argument to inform, and an argument to persuade. The front of the box is an argument to persuade for a couple of reasons. First, it has a picture of a delicious looking cupcake on it which is there to persuade the audience to purchase the item so that they can experience the cupcake. This is using the appeal pathos, because it is provoking the audiences emotions. It also used logos to develop credibility by placing the Betty Crocker label very viably of the front of the package. The back of the box could be considered an argument to inform because it lists the ingredients that are needed and the direction to follow. This is informative because it is informing the audience how to make the cupcakes that are shown on the front of the box. From this exercise I have found that one single object can be placed several different argument categories.
