Reflection On Allegory

I based the revisions for my allegory off of many of the concepts we have learned throughout the semester. One of the main concepts I used was that of pathos. Considering my essay was about a dog who was constantly being looked down upon due to her gender, I tried to use pathos to appeal to women who have experienced similar situations. By using this, I gave my paper much more depth and emotion. Very few people genuinely want to read about something that they cannot relate to, so I thought that by including appeals that appertain to a problem so many people face daily, the story would be more enjoyable to read. Keeping in mind that different people respond better to different appeals, I always tried to include logos in my revisions. I tried

My technique was to just write; no background, no ideas, nothing. I just wrote. It was a horrible mistake. This tactic made it much more difficult for me to get ideas down and in a good order. Due to this, I changed my techniques during my revisions. I got my ideas ready beforehand, such as what I wanted to change, where I wanted to go with this topic, and how I wanted to get there. I used ideas like pathos, logos, and purpose to get achieve that. I used websites like ones Ms. Field has shared with us to get background on the ideas I was trying to include.By doing these things, I think my paper quality definitely improved and I also made the revisions easier on myself than if I were to just wing it. If there was one thing I wanted to improve more, it would be to tell Charley’s story better. I would include more details and I would a much better route to get from the beginning of the end. I had writer’s block and was unable to do these things, which I was upset about. I would love to tell this story better, but it was incredibly difficult for me to do. I chose this essay as my major revision simply because it was the worst I have written and I knew I could improve it if I tried. I wanted to try and make this story into the ideas and plotline I had in my head. I think I definitely improved by an extensive amount, even though I definitely could have done
