My research so far

I have started working on my rhetorical analysis. After met with Jen during our conference, she said that she felt that my initial introduction of my paper was slightly misleading. In my draft I had mentioned the person I would be talking about in my final research paper in the intro in order to make some sort of connection between my rhetorical analysis paper and my final research paper. As I had mentioned in my previous blog I intend to write about Diego Armando Maradona who is an idol in Argentina. His importance has transcended that of soccer which is what endeared him to the hearts of the Argentine public as well as other soccer fans worldwide. I am not going to give away everything about Diego here; all the same Maradona is friends with people like Cuba’s former ruler Fidel Castro, Venezuela’s current president Hugo Chavez. Maradona was an outspoken critic of President Bush’s administration. Some other interesting things about Diego are that he even has a church former after him. I think this is pretty strange but if I were him I’d be feeling honored, lol.
While personally I don’t care about Diego’s political affiliation as I mostly care for him because of his soccer involvement. Currently he’s Argentina’s coach; which in many people’s view is a gamble despite his status as a player. Many people are divided in this matter because some feel he is inexperienced as a coach, which they are right to say so. Others feel because of the respect and adoration he commands in the Argentine players it could all work out. Well, this is just a few things that my final research paper deals with. As far as my rhetorical paper goes, it was helpful looking through some of my classmates’ papers; because it gave me ideas on things to correct in my paper. My rhetorical analysis paper is just comparing 3 different writers rhetoric on why soccer isn’t catching on in America. The fact that a lot of you may don’t know a famous person like Maradona only serves to highlight the issues that soccer despite its progress is still not making any impact in America. Hopefully, you’re able to make the connection between my rhetorical paper and my final paper.
