After reading “Rhetorical Situations and Their Constituents” by Keith Grant_Davie, I found a lot of benefit to our reading and writing. First the author explains that Blitzer’s defines rhetorical situation as “The context in which speakers or writers create rhetorical discourse”(Grant-Davie 104). It is a situation which communication takes place also, anyone who wants to communicate something; they have to always analyze the situation. According to Grant-Davie from his essay “Rhetorical Situations and Their Constituents. It has four major components. Which are: exigence, rhetor, audience and constraints. These four components are really helpful to our writing and reading. According to author, rhetor is the person or writer who is responsible for any argument or ideas. Audience is the people who communicate directly with writers. Constraints are the factor in situation where effect the achievement of rhetorical object. These components are really important to us, when we read and write something. If we analyze these things to our reading and writing it helps to develop our critical thinking and effective analyzing power.

Technique of writing
When I write something, I usually found a lot of grammars errors. There are many others grammars mistake, but Article and prepositions are the most grammars mistake in my writing. I frequently make these mistakes since I start writing. It is very hard to me figure out my grammars mistakes. I know the rules of grammar, but it is very hard to me apply in my writing. According to Joseph M. Williams’s article from The Phenomenology of Error, I found how grammars are important in writing, no matters how good ideas are. I like his technique to finding the errors from writing. His technique is when we write something we have to give somebody else to read, so that the readers can easily catch the errors .It is very easy way to find the errors. This technique is very useful me. I found that when I turn my papers to the professors, when I get back papers I always found a lot of errors, which is really helpful me to improve my writing skills.
Constructing errors are very important things. When we construct the errors we have to know where our errors are, which helps to remove these errors. It is very good ways to identify the errors. If we study our errors each by each it will help to these errors are not going to repeat again in our writing.

My greatest strengths and weakness as a writer .
Different writers have different strengths of writing. In my case, an attractive introduction is my greatest strength of my writing. When I start writing I always try to start attractive ways of introduction. I like to start my introduction some true stories, so that I can catch the reader’s attention. Therefore I spent a lot time for introduction part. Besides the introduction, providing good knowledge and ideas is another strength of my writing. I prefer reading rather than writing. This ability helps me to collect the ideas and knowledge from various fields.
Going out off topic is my greatest weakness as a writer. When I write something, I have a lot of ideas come on my head. It is very hard for me picking the suitable ideas, so I write whatever comes in my mind. Due to that, my body paragraph is really long and some are short .I could not figure out where I should break up the paragraph and end up with a good conclusion. Sometime I found very difficult to write a conclusion. Most of time I repeat a lot of things in conclusion. I know conclusion should be summery is the entire ideas but It is really hard for me to summarizing whole essays.
I hope coming days I will improve my writing skills. This semester I am taking an English composition class, which helps me to learn and understand about effective writing. At the beginning of this semester I am so optimistic about my writing. I am always thinking being a Bolger. Now I get this opportunity to start my own Blog. I like to share this Blog to all my friends, so that I will get feedback, which helps me to improve my writing skill as well as its’ gives me encouragement. I hope I will be continuing this my Blog even after this semester.
