As Laura Bolin Carroll talks about implementing the rhetoric analysis in real world situations, she quotes, " our worlds are full of these kinds of social influences. As we interact with other people and other media, we are continually creating and interpreting rhetoric" (Carroll, 47). Nowadays, these social influences and interaction with the world are mostly done by electronics. Watching the TV, reading a suspense novel on a e-book, or texting friends on social media are all electronic ways of how people communicate and connect to others as well as information. In the center, electricity plays a vital role in our system/methods of interactions. There is barely any place in this world that does not function without the use of electricity. From a phone to a hospital, the materials and the structures we know today would not exist without the advancement and innovation of electricity.

 Using the right sources at the right time is important in an academic writing. Author Mike Bunn does a great job in using a variety of sources that fit in the topic he is conveying, which fits into his scheme of points of reading like a writer. After he quotes the sources, he analyzes it in specific detail, forming it so that it supports his ideas of what people should consider while writing. He uses the quotes to add convincing support to his arguments. I incorporated a similar style of utilizing the sources in my own doc1 essay. For example, I used a research cited by the CDC to explain my point of how sleep deprivation can affect the immune system negatively. By paraphrasing the research that showed how lack of sleep reduced amounts of certain cells that prevent tumor cells, I supported my argument with convincing evidence from creditable sources to enhance the reliability and understanding of my argument.

 My essay is about the problems that occur due to sleep deprivation and some of the solutions to manage this problem. Many students, including myself, have trouble getting enough sleep even in a regular daily basis. I wish to address this problem for those who suffer the same situation and possibly guide them into effectively managing this problem so that it does not affect them as much as it did before reading my essay. I will narrow this topic so that it applies to college students specifically, and I will dig deep into great details about the things normal college students can do to improve their problems regarding sleep deprivation.

 Hi, my name is Youngjun Park, and I'm currently dual enrolling this English 1101 class. I'm originally from South Korea, but I have lived in England before moving to the U.S. in 2020. Personally, it's interesting to see the differences between the cultures and the differences in language, especially the accents in here and back in England. My area of interests are playing soccer and working out, physical activities in general. From this class, I hope to gain a deeper understanding about effective writing, and I'm very eager to learn about this class and all of you. I hope we can make a wonderful semester together. Thank you!
