The Title Of Chapter 17 Ofpatterns For College Writing A Rhetorical R

The title of Chapter 17 of Patterns for college writing: A rhetorical reader and guide (Kirszner, L. G., & Mandell, S. R. 2012) is Integrating Sources and Avoiding Plagiarism. We want to pay close attention to the word "Integrating" in the title. It refers to the fact that we incorporate ideas from outside sources in a logical way (a way that makes sense in terms of ideas and of flow) into our own ideas. We integrate/incorporate outside sources into our own ideas in order to support or prove our own ideas. One way we integrate/incorporate sources into our own ideas is by paraphrasing a passage (also known as an excerpt) from an outside source. In this thread, please do the following: --In your own words, explain, in 2-3 sentences, when it is we should paraphrase an excerpt from an outside source and how to do it correctly. --Write a paragraph about how to use the Compare/Contrast rhetorical mode in an essay (see Chapter 8 of Wordsmith ) and in your paragraph, paraphrase an excerpt from the Chapter (8). Also, explain why your paraphrase is correct. Be specific. Kirszner, L. G., & Mandell, S. R. (2012). Patterns for college writing: A rhetorical reader and guide (12th ed.)

Paper For Above instruction

Paraphrasing is appropriate when we want to restate information from a source using our own words, especially to clarify or emphasize a point, or when integrating ideas into our own argument without copying verbatim. To do it correctly, we must thoroughly understand the original text, then express its ideas faithfully and clearly in our own wording, ensuring we avoid copying specific phrases and attributing the source properly (Kirszner & Mandell, 2012). Paraphrasing demonstrates comprehension and allows for seamless integration of quotes into our writing flow.

The compare/contrast rhetorical mode involves analyzing two or more subjects by highlighting their similarities and differences, helping readers understand relationships and distinctions. According to Chapter 8 of Wordsmith, this mode can be used to organize essays systematically by grouping similar ideas together in comparison or by contrasting features in a separate section—"In comparing, we examine how they are alike; in contrasting, we look at how they are different" (Wordsmith, Chapter 8). Paraphrasing this excerpt correctly involves rephrasing the original idea while maintaining its meaning: Comparing involves analyzing similarities to show commonalities, whereas contrasting involves examining differences to highlight distinctions (Kirszner & Mandell, 2012). This paraphrase accurately reflects the original's meaning by restating the core purpose of each rhetorical approach in my own words, demonstrating understanding without altering the intent or introducing errors.
