Revised Introduction

In this blog post, I will explain why I think my revised introduction is more successful than my old introduction for Project 2. The old and revised introductions can be found here.

I feel that my new introduction better aligns with the purpose of this project, which is to analyze the rhetorical situations and strategies of a public speech act in my field. Rather than spending the bulk of the introduction talking about 3-D printing and how it's advancing the biomedical field, I added more about the rhetoric being used in this debate. This should more clearly demonstrate to the audience what the essay will be about, while also informing them of the basic context of the paper. Also, to shorten the introduction, I deleted a lot of what I had written previously and split the introduction into two paragraphs.
