Rhetorical Analysis Reflection

I think the most difficult part of this assignment was
choosing the artifact itself. I could not decide what I wanted
to do for my Rhetorical Analysis but I decided to do it on
George Lopez's Spanglish Stand Up. There was one major
problem with my Rhetorical Analysis, and that was not being
able to recognize the pathos related with George Lopez’s
video. It's somethingthat I should have been able to
distinguish. I was actually really entertained while I was
writing this paper because it involved George Lopez, a
figure that i grew up watching on T.V. He was one of my favorite characters. However, I did mix up pathos and logos which is why I was disappointed with myself. I should have been able to recognize the pathos that Lopez was using in the Spanglish video. Perhaps if I had seen the pathos presented by Lopez, I could have gotten an A on the paper which is another reason I was disappointed in myself. The problem I had was understanding the constratints. Otherwise there were minimal citation errors which I was glad to see. And again I need to begin to link my writing further to the topics of the paper or the paragraph topic. Furthermore, I think I did good in meeting most of the criteria.
