How to start your work?

This week I had a chance to participate in classes led by professor Tiffany Debicka. The classes were devoted to the topic of writing process. We were focusing on 4 main points of it, meaning exploring the topic, planning a content, drafting a content and revising. The teacher showed us what our steps and “good habits” should be. Thanks to using them our paper, instead of being chaotic, will be legible and involving. She also advised us to answer some questions: What is the purpose of a movie we analyze? What is its tone? Who is a target audience? Thanks to those lessons I found out how important is paying attention to rhetorical strategies used in a work we are analyzing.

Now I feel better prepared to write the first chapter of my BA paper. I decided to devote it to the movie “We need to talk about Kevin”. I choose main key phrases I want to focus on. From many different rhetorical strategies I will elaborate on music, dialogues, relationships and comparison. And I hope that my chapter will be nearly perfect J
