A concern I had going into the peer revision was my ability to explain what my artifacts were and who their intended audience was, and after the peer revision, this is the part of my essay that I need to place the most emphasis on during revision. Throughout the paper I would reference certain artifacts without explaining to the reader where they came from or why they were made. This adds confusion and may even cause wonder as to whether the artifacts provided are relevant to the topic of the rhetorical analysis. This being said, I'm going to ensure that I explain each artifact and the intended audience before analyzing the rhetorical strategies presented by the stakeholder. Another important piece of feedback I received regarded explaining audience but in a different light. Throughout the analysis it is difficult to tell who the intended audience of my stakeholder is. Since he is governor of California it could be seen as only the state, but he has also produced artifacts and ma...

Kobe Bryant and eight others passed away just one week ago in a tragic helicopter accident. Bryant accomplished many things in his lifetime: five time NBA champion, two time NBA Finals MVP, and father of four daughters, just to name a few. However, one of his first and most notable accomplishments may be his immediate jump from high school basketball to being drafted as a 17 year old by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1996 NBA Draft. This almost unheard of achievement sparked a movement of basketball players, like LeBron James, who also went straight from high school to the NBA. In 2005 a rule change sparked controversy, it said players must be at least one year removed from high school before they could enter the NBA draft. This has resulted in countless debates and failed attempts to change the rule back to its previous state. In the NFL, players must be three years removed from high school, often meaning they have completed their junior year of college. In the MLB, athletes are allow...
