Part A: Positive Descriptive Narrative: Fond Escape

Finally, the weekend has arrived. Not only is it the weekend, but it is Labor Day weekend. I’ve just received word from my boyfriend that he may be coming to Mobile to visit me tomorrow if the weather permits. I softly place the telephone back into its cradle and step outside to have an afternoon lounge on the balcony of my apartment. The glass door glides open, and my bare feet brushes against the smooth concrete of the balcony. I squint as my eyes readjust to the beams of sunlight shining down from above and bathing my skin with its warm, golden rays. I arrange myself on the sturdy seat of my lone, wooden chair and let my eyes slowly drift down into the courtyard below.

Modest and surrounded by many towering pine trees, the quad, with the help of the afternoon sun, brilliantly illuminates the little area behind my apartment building. Stone walkways decorate the little alcove and a small, festive flower garden lies directly in its center. Several multicolored, vibrant blooms sprout forth from the rich soil of the garden, their petals chiefly supported by long, slender olive-green stems that bend to and fro in the slight summer breeze. My gaze wanders to the far side of the courtyard where I hear a crystal-clear ‘tinkling’ of childish laughter resonating like the jingling of bells. Two little girls—sisters, I believe—are running around, their bare feet slapping against the stone walkways meandering around the grass. Leaning back against the chair, I wipe my forehead and my hand comes away slightly damp.

Off in the distance, a car rolls slowly down the lane, and I turn my head in its direction. The sound of the song playing on its powerful bass reverberate...

... middle of paper ...

...tive.

The last strategy, though, is generally subtler and less prevalent than the previous strategies on conducting a rhetorical analysis. Although this strategy is absent from my writing project, I still would prefer to mention the important concepts of using this tactic within a perspective-oriented piece of writing. The strategy involves the variation of sentence structures where the variations act accordingly with the idea of emphasizing positive and/or negative facets of an issue.

During the writing process of this assignment, I have fully gained the knowledge of writing persuasively through the five helpful strategies in identifying an author’s purpose and perspective in a piece of writing. Ultimately, I now appreciate the concept and impression of perspective writing and its impact to a piece of writing and the readers’ interpreting that piece of writing.
