Journal 1
I decided to do my meta-analysis on a flyer I made. When my dog had puppies I realized that I wasn’t going to be able to keep all of them, but they weren’t the type of puppies that you would just give away. So I decided to make a flyer to advertize that I had Chows for sale. I came to the realization that if I did not do anything to sell these puppies I would have to keep them. I then designed a flyer with an exaggerating photo of the puppies making it hard to ignore it. I then contemplated on where I would place the flyer to get the best results, especially from kids and adults that cared for animals and loved fluffy cute puppies. After a week or so I then sold five of the seven puppies for $350.00 each. I think thinking about my writing in responding to a rhetorical situation is different from my usual ways of thinking because this easily came out rather than the hard thought crunching process.

Your journal entry brings up an interesting point that not many people consider when writing: location. Because you knew you were going to post the flyer around to reach the audience, you had to think about where it would be most effective. Even when you went to put it up somewhere you had chosen, you still had to decide precisely where and how to hang it.
Most essays in school don't go anywhere except the teacher's office, so students rarely have to think about the intended location of their writing. But most real writing situations take place somewhere specific that has its own unique demands and constraints. In other words, you can't write the same for every place.
