My humorous argument is in the form of a parody of a Dr. Seuss poem "One Fish, Two Fish." I really like it, especially since I am not a very creative or funny person and I think that it is a good expression of me as an author that I could actually pull this off! My topic of truancy and the daytime teen curfew was also a very flexible to work with and made it easy to replace the words of the original story.
I like the format of my argument because I think that although it is direct and does point the finger of responsibility at the parents of truants, it is still humorous because it approaches the subject through a very childish medium. Dr. Seuss is also very popular so I feel that it works in terms of presenting my argument in a format that many people would understand.
My concerns with my humorous argument is that it does not touch on an argument and that it is a little bit too silly. I am wondering also if I should have picked a more mature medium for my argument because I feel like my position on this issue will not be taken seriously. Also, is it funny enough? Are there any alterations I could do to this piece to make it better or more complete? I am also concerned with whether or not it is long enough because I put a lot of effort in to it but I do not know if it reflects that.

Development of Rhetorical Case Study
Overall, my rhetorical case study has progressed very well. I finished the conclusion and did a fair amount of editing yesterday and today. I also sent my paper in to the writing center and they provided me with feed back in terms of where I needed to go into more detail or clarify my explanations. They also helped me correct more of my grammatical errors because that is something I really struggle with. I really like my paper a lot and I am surprised that it came out so well. I think that it was easy to write and understand what my sources had to say because I cared about the topic and was already pretty well informed about it.
I was never really worried about meeting the length requirement because I had plenty to say about the topic. The analyzing of the sources was something I enjoyed as well as trying to understand the motives behind their writing. I think that I have evolved my argument throughout my paper and that I was as clear as possible with my explanations.
Author's Note:
This draft of my paper I am very proud of. I feel like I am almost done with the whole editing process. I would really like some input on the overall flow of the essay and grammatical structure. I would also like for whoever reads this to check the MLA formatting and citation. Any other feedback is welcomed considering I am only planning on doing one more edit before submitting it.

Author's Note: Draft One
Authors Note: I am almost done with my paper I believe, besides the finishing touches. I am happy with the structure and content but if I am missing something in terms of these items I would love to know. I also would like some grammatical editing in terms of commas, semicolons and capitalization. I am looking for something to really make my paper stand out so if there are any suggestions I would be happy to hear them, or if you already think my paper is unique, let me know that as well. I need a closing paragraph as well. I feel like I have covered everything and I have nothing else to talk about.
