1. Rhetorical context- I am going to describe how the magazine intrigues my audience and how it represents all aspects of music and entertainment. I explain the values of my audience and their beliefs.
Structural Context- I think that I’m going to write a paragraph on the four point that as brought up as essential in your liking of the magazine.
The source of the information is the magazine itself, I will be reading an issue ad describing and rating the magazine. I will try to explain all current things of magazine print and of the pass.
There is more than enough information I the magazine and through online sources.
2. Rolling stone magazine is a magazine that is written about pop culture and the things that occur in the present time. I really like reading about music and entertainment, anyone who is into these things as well will really like this magazine.
3. The magazine represents different types of music so I will give example from the magazine on how they represent the different types of represented in the article. I will use another example to explain how they show global warming and their liberal point of view. I will then explain that the advertisements represent and how they show what pop culture is.
4. Counter argue would be that they don’t include country music and that they only cover more popular music. But I’m not targeting that audience so that should not be a problem in my review.

I think that the fact that you have to be into pop culture and all different types of music is essential in being my target audience. An example of this is in two articles within the magazine one on Alicia Keys and the other Lady Gaga also has an article. These two artists are too different type of performers and are two different types of musicians yet they both appear in this magazine. Another, important thing to look upon is the liberal aspect and beliefs. For example there is an article on global warming. The article has a very liberal view on the subject. Another example of something that I wanted to show was how the advertisement reflects things that represent pop culture. They show I phones and other technology and the clothing is all expensive and worn by celebrities. The last example is how much info is brought up in the magazine. They discuss a variety of topics as shown in the magazine; everything is shown from articles on global warming to articles on Spanish sensation Shakira. The wide variety is what makes the magazine so intriguing and fun to read. It really keeps you updated on the information that isn’t necessarily on the news but is stuff people actually care about.

thesis number 2

The UCF gym is something that the majority of students use on a daily basis or would like to use. People who go to the gym experience something that is rather frustrating; that is how crowded the gym is. The gym is the most crowded place on campus and frankly it’s time for a change. I think there are plenty of things that could be done to fix this problem yet know one chooses to try and solve the problem. I dont think that the gym is small or that there are to few machines because the gym is big and efficient in the workouts it could provide. However the problem is not the size or machines, but rather the amount of people who attend the gym on a daily basis. The UCF gym is overcrowded and is going to get more crowded every year with UCF continuously growing. The gym, while not integral to education, helps with student health and fitness.

thesis

The UCF gym is something that the majority of students use on a daily basis or would like to use. People who go to the gym experience something that is rather frustrating. That is how crowed the gym is. The gym is the most crowed place on campus and frankly it’s time for a change. I think there are plenty of things that could be done to fix this problem yet know one chooses to try and fix this. The solutions are plenty and the complaints are many there is no reason as to why a plan is not put into action to fix this problem.

Letter

Dear Carlos,

So i have to write the commentary essay for my class and i have decided to write about the UCF gym. The gym is always over crowded and creates many problems for anyone who tries to attend. The machines are always at least a twenty minute wait and makes u cool off in between workouts and sometimes sets. I know that I'm probably overreacting but I'm not the only one complaining. I have been discussing the problem with many other people and they conclude the same thing ass me. Something must be done to fix this problem. Have you experienced any problems at your school gym or even any local gym you go to. Do you have any suggestions that i can maybe recommended to my school. I'm thinking about maybe requiring a membership so that you can know how many people are members and maybe have a team schedule. This will also limit the amount of people who randomly come and take up room with mediocre workouts or just to talk. I mean i have also thought of making they gym larger and maybe making another gym but that would cost alot. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
