Everybody is different

When I am not try to performe rhetoric, such as writing an essay or a speech, I think of rhetoric in this way:

Rhetoric is a territory that I shall never conquer not because I can't but because I do not want to.

However, as soon as an essay or a speech assignment is given from a professor, my perspective has to compromise with a threat from a small number that will measure my success in college. Then, I become nervous and fall in a deep sea of agony where I try to find a way to be sound cool and awesome like J.F.K in his speeches. Some say if you like to read and are a good reader, you may be good at writing as well. However, I, being an living example, can prove that they are wrong. I love reading novels, and newspapers but I am just not a good writer. Unfortunately I think I am a good writer and my essays always seem to be like M.LK's "I have a dream," but I don't know why my essays don't look good as cool as to other people than they do to me.

So I was thinking about this problem a lot in last semester in which a grade of one class is determined by only three essays in that class and I realized I might have different tast of reading and writing than that of other people. Everybody has different taste but I think mine is something more deviant according to the grades of my essays. After getting through some big failures in getting good grades in essays, I realized that I am not a writer who loves to write heavy things, such as politics, school works, and other acadimic writing. I become a really good writier when I write letters to my friends (Yest, I still do write letters). By the way, I was little creeped out when Professor Kramer mentioned about spraying fragrance on letters because that is exactly the same thing that I always did whenever I sent letters to my friends.

Anyway, my point is that everybody has her own specialty in performing rhetoric. I am good at performing pathos in rhetoric and somebody may be good at performing ethos or logos. So, even my grade tells that I am not a good writer but I believe that my future wife will appreciate me being as a man of rhetoric as long as I don't show her my grades in highschool and college.
