ENGL 112 The Commentary Context Revision and Postscript Week 8 DeVry
The concepts of genre, process writing, audience, and personal influence have been common themes throughout this course, and the final assignment asks you to demonstrate your knowledge in these areas. To do so, you will rework your Commentary essay into a short document that will either be submitted as a letter to the editor to a specified publication, or published as a blog post. Your goal is not to summarize your entire essay for this new context, but to instead share one important point as an addition to the public conversation. As you review the Commentary essay final you submitted last week, think about the most important point you would leave with readers if you had only a limited amount of time to express yourself; that one main point is where you’ll want to focus this revision assignment.
Amidst the news about how the number of billionaires are increasing while the predicament of the poor seems to be worsening (Blow, 2013), I can definitely understand the ire that people have towards the rich who seem to be enjoying lavish lifestyles while the poor hardly have food to eat. However, rather than seeing billionaires as people who are unfairly blessed, I choose to admire them for having the strength, determination, and ingenuity to achieve the status that they now enjoy
