1. I changed everything, after going through my source content and my draft, I realized that the issue I had chosen was not as easily reflected in a rhetorical analysis, so I changed sources and rewrote the entire draft.
2. An obvious global change was the source content, which I changed, thus changing my essay entirely. There were some overlapping themes, and I took the structuring advice given in the comments of my original draft into consideration on my final version.
3. I did not feel as though my prior version addressed the issues enough to be considered a proper rhetorical analysis.
4. I think they help my credibility because I ended up with a subject that presented an argument that could be analyzed sufficiently, whereas the other article was lacking in content to analyze.
5. I think that it is a more fitting topic that more people are interested in, I also think that it is more controversial of an issue that is more applicable to most people interested in technology.
6. My sentence structure was a little bit too long so I structured them and broke them up to generally shorten them up.
7. These changes should help to make the article more readable, and also break up different portions of my analysis which should make it easier to understand the purpose behind my writing.
8. I constantly was considering the conventions of the rhetorical analysis and how I should be fitting that in with the fact that I was addressing the essay it self to other students, it resulted in a lot of changing structure in order to make it clear who the essay was intended for.
9. My identity as a writer is conveyed well enough that I don't think that the reflection process makes me reconsider very much, although it makes me reconsider my writing styles.
Reflection:
Most people were similar to me in that they changed sentence structure around a lot. I did not find anyone else who scrapped their entire project, but many people revised thoroughly. I was interested to see that one of the projects revised their tone to sound more upbeat which i never would have thought to do.

Wow, its crazy to me that you ended up scrapping your entire draft! I dont think a lot of people have that kind of drive and foresight. But I think its great that you were able to see the weakness in the foundational part of your essay and make a change.
