Post 3: Citation Confusion

 Author Mike Bunn has a great way of working quotes into his writings. He is careful in how he want to lead the reader and write in such a way that reaches the reader. He adjust the writings differently if directed towards experts in the field versus if writing to someone who knows very little about the topic. 

I took a similar approach in my writings, using quotes from experts to validate my points, Christine Ammer, The best-laid plans go astray was a great quote supporting my writings about making plans for the future. 

Mr. Bunn has a great way of asking how do I want the reader to feel or respond.

    Hey " Keeping Dr. Hamon Happy", First I would like to say that's an awesome quote by Christine Ammer btw! But yes as I've done some of my readings on Mr. Mike Bunn I can agree with you that he sure does have a way cool way to reach his readers to keep them engaged. And that's cool that you are also taking that approach for your readers too. Which I appreciate because as a person whose attention span is ridiculously short, my brain tends to wander off a lot if the piece I am reading doesn't catch my eye. And I'm sure I will be one of your audience members for your writing again pretty soon. So thank you for that.

    Good evening Clint! After reading Mike Bunns work I can also agree he does an excellent job working his quotes into his writing. He's able to properly input his quotes and use his resources to support his claims seamlessly and makes it interesting to the reader. Bunn's way of having us question how we want the reader to feel or respond is a good way to think about our future writings.

    Hello Clint. I've read some more of Mike Bunns work and you are spot on when talking about his utilization of quotes in his writings. The way he uses quotes allows for a clear and concise picture he paints for the reader, as well as giving more dedicated writers something to imitate in their own work.

    Hi Mr. WilsonI agree that Mike Bunn is very professional when it comes to adding quotes into his research. He is very in depth and is good at identifying who he wants his target audience to be. I enjoy the fact that you are trying to use the quotes from other experts to get better. Thank you for you great feedback.

Post 5 - Why Aviation?

  As the path of finding a career is thrust upon us and we, who are not independently wealthy, realized we must be employed to survive. Once accepting this fate, now the search begins. I found aviation and instantly fell in love. The golden era of aviation had such a romantic aura about it. To be a part of this legacy, even in a small way, is both humbling and exhilarating. The aviation industry continues to push the boundaries of technology and human ingenuity. Each flight, each journey, is a testament to the power of human ambition. My experience is aviation will consume your attention and fill your ambition. Each flight, each landing, is special are the testament of teamwork at the the highest level.

Post 4: Rhetoric about Rhetorical

 Laura Bolin Carroll says it like this, "The more we know about how to analyze situations and draw informed conclusions, the better we can become about making savvy judgments about the people, situations and media we encounter." (Carroll, 45) Imagine working as a professional where people rely upon you to do your job so well that they trust and count upon you for the most precious times of life. The birth of a child, attending a graduation or wedding, taking a long time planned vacation or saving the life of someone special, aviation does all these. It is a relatively small amount of professional who devote their careers to this amazing industry.  So many options for such a small community of professionals, line service, flight attendant, dispatcher, gate agent, operations manager, engineer, designer, pilot and mechanic, all work like a well oiled machine to make the everyday flight have exceptional results.  What started as a hobby is now a very rewarding career.  H...
