Rhetorical Analysis
There are various articles that are read on a daily basis. What makes them interesting to the people? When reading on an article about something, the author tries to reach out to a person in certain ways. Portrait beautification technology has important meaning about computer-generated background photography and augments reality said. The work provided has a set of united portrait beautification methods are raised. In order to put together images and backgrounds, a portrait with many layers are is offered and suggested. The effects of the color of the skin and much more has technology that is based on color temperature estimation. Detail experimental results and comparisons are provided to show our approaches are effective. Even with photos looking easy and not so complicated, it has more technology than one can ever think. When doing portraits, there are many things that have to be done in order to make everyone look good. Virtual background photography can be regarded as a kind of concrete application using portrait beautification technologies. Comment by Carol Bainbridge: The first paragraph should identify the article and author you are analyzing as well as the place and date it appeared. Otherwise, it’s impossible to see what this paper is about. Comment by Carol Bainbridge: Dangling modifier – it’s not the author who is doing the reading on something. Comment by Carol Bainbridge: This isn’t clear. Comment by Carol Bainbridge: Sentence structure
Not everyone can write an article on portraits and make them visual for the people. Each article has a certain way to be able to express itself for certain purposes. For this article about portraits, the author wants people to be able to look and see how much there is to work on something as this. Not every photo can be done in a matter of seconds with very little done. The author here makes a person visualize and see how things are done. The picture images of these can help grab the reader’s attention and make a person be more interested in what he/she is reading about. Visual images are the most important when reading about something. Not every person knows how to draw the attention when writing. Mostly it is easier if things are explained in a manner where most everyone can understand it. Comment by Carol Bainbridge: Which article? You have not identified it. Comment by Carol Bainbridge: They are? Aren’t the words more important?
For most articles, people do not see what is going on and creates a less attractive paper. The audience for this person is one who may be interested in this type of work of just photography in general. Each person that may come across something as this and may be interested could be various types of people. The topic has a lot to do with how it is written and how people view it. If the paper does not go along with the title and how they thought it would be, the reader might not be as interested as they thought. The relation with the audience can be easily seemed as a great connection. With the descriptions of everything and how everything is done makes a person more interested even if it is not a daily topic for most. The writer also says in details about something that is very eye catching. Portrait segmentation can be regarded as a process that dividing portrait and background into their respective coherent regions. In our works, portrait pictures are acquired by taking photos under blue background. According to the coherence of the pixels color, portrait, and background should belong to the respective color clustering theoretically (Portrait Beautification). This has a lot of descriptions and makes people want to read more about. In opinion, there could be more than one audience. This description, as stated, helps people that are not even interested in the topic to have a sense of interest.
In order to identify the tone, the reader should try to identify the emotional meaning of the essay. Tone is the writer or the speaker's implied attitude toward his or her subject and/or the reader or audience. Writers convey their attitudes in the words they choose and in the style in which they write, in turn creating the atmosphere or mood of the essay. The choice of a single word can change the tone of a paragraph, even an entire essay. The tone of the article helps people tell how the author feels about the subject mostly by adjectives, other word choices, comparisons, etc. For this article, the author seems to be interested and excited about a topic such as this. From the descriptions of how everything is worded makes a person seem to think how the writer feels about the topic and work that comes along with it. Not many articles of this sort have an author who is interested as the people are in this one. The details that are given shows the interest taken in this and the interest that they hope to bring from the people reading it.
In this article, there are various images that help explain what it being talked about. Each set of the photos helps with demonstration as they are explained underneath. It can heighten and refine emotion as well as meaning. Visual images can help people understand the true meaning of a novel/book or other ideas, since they can picture them in their minds. Pictures in the books are used to capture the imagination of people and teach him/her morals and more. By seeing the pictures in the books the text gives the child the imagination and the illustration gives the person the setting. Without illustrations an article, book, and more that explains something can be hard to visualize and understand for most people. If a person, as me, needs illustration for something to be more understood and it’s not there, it makes it more difficult.
There are various types of articles. Some have a certain tone, how it is written and just could be interesting in many ways. If an article is explanatory many things need to come along with it. Photos with subtitles should be included for a better understanding. Visual images are the most important when reading about something. Not every person knows how to draw the attention when writing. Mostly it is easier if things are explained in a manner where most everyone can understand it. Portrait beautification technology has important meaning about computer-generated background photography and augments reality said. The work provided has a set of united portrait beautification methods are raised. Each person that may come across something as this and may be interested could be various types of people. The topic has a lot to do with how it is written and how people view it. In opinion, there could be more than one audience. This description, as stated, helps people that are not even interested in the topic to have a sense of interest.

Atef,
I know that reading and writing in a second language can be difficult. However, reading the prompt and the sample rhetorical essay is very important if you want to do a good job writing a paper. I read your whole paper, but I stopped commenting and marking on the second page because I had no idea what you were writing about.
The first paragraph, as I noted, has to tell the reader what the article is that you are analyzing, who the author is, where it was published, and when it was published. It then has to provide a thesis with an assessment of the effectiveness of the rhetorical strategies in the article. From there the paper needed to provide the credentials of the author and a brief summary of the article as well as the audience and purpose of the article. After that, the paper needs to provide an analysis of the rhetorical strategies of the article: tone, ethos, logos, pathos… There is almost none of that in this essay.
See the rubric below. (It continues on the next page.)
