1. The researcher is trying to find out how students "construct" themselves through their everyday activities and daily lives. They want to find out how factors such as school, their background, tension, and any other variables reflect their "construct of self."
2.In order to collect the data necessary for her research, she closely analyzes some college students. Katrina Powell examines their writing style and any how they present themselves.
3.I see my peers using music as a form of "self-representation". With music, they can express how they feel and even tell a story. With music, they can tell others of what point they wish to make. There are several genres that people can use as forms of "self-representation."

1. The author is trying to found out more about authenticity in rock music. He also wants to find out more about why performers act the way they do. The main questions that guide his research work were based on the interests of the performer’s work, and the audience response to the artist’s songs.
2. The author quotes and uses text sources to further build his argument. He quotes music critics and writers who have written on the topic of “star behavior.” He also quotes many statements made by other rock artists during interviews. David Pattie also used text sources that give great detail about the artist, such as about their songs and lyrics and even personal information about the rock artist.
3. In our everyday world we can observe people and see how others attempt to establish their own authenticity. This can be seen by merely looking at a person. The way a person presents themselves shows a lot about them. The way a person dresses, walks, and even talks can demonstrate their authenticity and how they want to carry themselves out. You can tell that some people want to “be cool” and fit in while others do not care and act themselves. The way a person carries themselves shows how they try to establish their own authenticity.

1. The research displays an interest in the strategies and processes of professional editors of writing. She did this by observing six professional writers. The main research questions that guided their work are: “What approach is taken by those who make their living revising-that is, professional editors? What defines revision in a professional context? How is their revision process influenced by the mandate they receive, their concept of revision, and their experience?”
2. In order to collect their data, they first separated the six editors into two groups. One group was for the expert editors and the other group was for the less experienced editors. They did this to see if experience plays a role with their behavior. Another research methodology for this article was to carefully film and observe the editors.
3. There are many differences between professional editors and student editors. For instance, the professional editors are paid by their writer; therefore, the editor can gain an insight on the writer’s ability to write as well as their writing tendencies. On the other hand, students cannot determine the level of writing skills of their peers. Also, in professional editing, editing is merely a process of writing. Whereas, self-revision is “one of the three sub processes of writing.” Another difference which was noted was that professional writers put more effort and time into their work than students do.

1. Bitzer refers to rhetorical situations in many different ways. He stresses that a rhetorical situation does not consist simply of understanding a speech, in depends on understanding the context of the meaning. Thus, no concept is truly comprehended unless the meaning is understood. He also says that meaning is a general term and has nothing to do with a rhetorical situation. Also, a rhetorical situation does not need to occur in a setting where there is a speaker, audience, or a communicative purpose because “philosophical and scientific, occur in such settings.” He also says that a rhetorical situation does not have to do with persuasion, or trying to alter the beliefs of an audience.
2. A “rhetorical situation,” according to Bitzer, always occurs for some reason, it perform some task. Hence, it always produces an action. He also defines its function “as a fitting response to a situation which needs and invites it.” Therefore, “rhetorical situation” is necessary in some situations. Finally he states,”rhetorical situation may be defined as a complex of persons, events, objects, and relations presenting an actual or potential exigence. ..”
3. In many situations, exigence can occur but they are not all elements of rhetorical situations. An exigent is something that is not perfect, but it is marked by some sort of importance. He defines it as “… a defect, an obstacle, something waiting to be done …” An example of exigence when it is rhetorical: a restaurant owner uses spoiled and rotten food. His actions cause health problems to the costumers. His actions can be stopped if someone addresses him.
