I chose an essay I wrote after researching the book Silent Spring. This was done in Persuasive Writing class and after reading the book there was a lot of data to sift through. The book created quite a stir when it was first published and still gets a lot of attention today. This helped with the research and creating the essay itself. I did have to be careful with my writing to not become a rant and keep my writing professional. Keeping the audience in mind helped keep my writing on target so I would not lose my audience. I used graphics to help create impact points. Imagination is wonderful, but sometimes an image can have a huge impact for the reader. I wanted to use that option as much as I could with this writing to enhance what I had just read. Colors and fonts were carefully considered. Each paragraph was edited several times and the graphics were changed more than once. Each page needed to be deliberate and stir the readers emotions. I think I accomplished this task in the end and I am proud of the outcome.
