Through this project, I have learned a lot about rhetorical engagement and how to use it along with my sources. Originally, if I were to read a source, I would internalize the message sent, but I would fail to engage with the authors work.

As this semester comes to a close, one of my largest learning experiences has been within my English 300 class. Not only did I learn a great deal about my faults in my own writing and ways to grow stronger as a writer, but I have also gained insight on the topic of work.
