MWA2 Reflection

The purpose of my Five Below store review is to persuade an audience to go there. I was

able to convey my purpose by using my experience and impressions of the place as primary

source evidence to build an argument. Moreover, using websites as secondary sources allowed

me to include the history of the place for background information and include reviews to support

my argument. My audience was teens, so I decided to make a blog on my portfolio website to

make my review informative but also relatable. In addition, since blogs have pictures, I included

pictures to help viewers see the layout of the store and what is sold there. Therefore, a blog is the

most effective format because not only can I use text to build up my argument, but pictures as

well. My blog was built on the Weebly website which made it easy to include text and pictures

and format them. Furthermore, inserting my own pictures of the place was simple as I could

transfer images from my phone to the website by plugging my phone in my laptop. My rhetorical

decision to make a blog using Weebly is so I could highlight how Five Below looks like a trendy

colorful store, which could look alluring to teens. The challenge that I faced with my technology

was not knowing how to undo something I did on the website. I was able to solve it by searching

it up and finding out there is an undo button that pops up if I click on what I am trying to undo.

Another challenge I experienced was how to change the size of an image which I was able to

overcome by seeing that if you drag the bottom right corner of the image, it changes the size.

What I liked most about the Weebly website was that it was beginner friendly technology and

easy to understand. Another choice I made was to make sure my blog was formatted in a clean

aesthetic manner so it’s easy on the eyes.
