Reflection on Writing Them Sweet Papes (3)

As a college student I have had a number of opportunities to write papers, essays, short stories, etc. Throughout my entire life, writing has been the bane of my existence and I have always been able to throw in a few good complaints about why I don't want to do it. That being said, I am learning how to just suck it up and deal with it. I recently wrote a rhetorical analysis paper on the speech The Great Society by President Lyndon Baines Johnson. In this experience, writing the paper wasn't as bad as I expected. Due to and overload of homework from a few of my other classes, it was a little difficult to get it started but all in all it was a good experience. I've never really analyzed a speech and it was interesting to do so and see what there is to learn a far as that goes. I was able to learn that Johnson was a very persuasive speaker and used rhetoric successfully.
