Rhetoric 1030

For this assignment I choose an
essay I wrote in high school for a Tippie college of business scholarship. So the genre was essay but also informational
about myself as well. When writing this
essay a little over a year ago I had a rather simple purpose and that was to
get scholarship to help pay for college.
A deeper purpose of my essay was to impress the scholarship committee
and show them the potential I had to succeed.
I think this section of my essay shows what I want to do with my degree
and shares a little bit about my interests “I plan to pursue a career in a stock/financial related area
in a position where I can use my passion to help others.” The audience for my essay
was the scholarship committee. The
stance of my essay was passionate because I had to sell myself to the committee. One example of how I tried to sell myself as
why a business degree interested me was: “The stock market is a passion of mine and my success
investing money has led me to choose finance as a major.” The media for this piece of writing was print
so I needed to show my creativity through the design and the layout of the
paper because unlike a speech they had to judge their opinions strictly of text.
