I would have thought that there would have been a lot of things that would grab my opinionated attention during this assignment, but I have been sorely disappointed so far. I think of myself as a fairly opinionated and educated person of sorts, but find that, for the most part, I really don't care much about the subjects of the opinion essays that I'm finding.
Because of this dilemma I haven't really been able to identify what rhetorical moves work on me and which ones don't. Neither have I been able to notice a stronger response spawning from my inner desires, compelling me to retaliate or to agree. Honestly, finding an opinion piece that I can be passionate about has proved much harder than I assumed it would be.
I feel like I'm looking for a real opinion about something that hasn't been completely exhausted and finagled to the point of annoyance, but at the same time I want to find something that is supported by a well written essay from a well read source. I WILL NOT try to complete my 'Summary, Strong Response' paper on something that I do not feel personally and emotionally attached to, but I find that I don't care much about most of the stuff people argue about. Is there something wrong with me? Should I care more than I do? Is there a good opinion essay on that topic? That might be interesting...
