If I Actually Became an Eloquent Human Being This Semester

   When we got our papers back on Friday with our original demand for what we wanted out of the class, I had written that I wanted to become a more eloquent human being, like the course syllabus describes we would become more like. So I considered whether that goal was actually achieved and I would like to think that it has to an extent.
   If given the time and the resources (research, data, etc.) then I feel like I could come up with much more eloquent work than I could have made this January. Writing papers and doing presentations where evidence and a certain audience is required comes much more naturally to me now than it did months ago. I feel like the main thing that helped with that was the model that was shown in class a few weeks ago that helped visualize how a paragraph should be written. Also all of the other experiences in class and working on the assignments out of class have attributed to my growth as an eloquent human being.
   The only reason why I would say that I have not become a much more eloquent person is due to the fact we never really wrote too much on the "I say" of the "They say, I say" argument. Sure the first few assignments were pretty much the development of the I say part but in my opinion that was very far from the focus of what made the later papers complete. The thesis was the product of our own creation, and that is a sign of increasing eloquence, but the only thing that made that thesis valid was the they say part of the argument. I'm not entirely sure if using other people's arguments in our own is making us more eloquent, but if it is then I'll agree that I have become a much more eloquent human being at the least, I cannot speak for everyone in this class.
