Also, connecting all those factors to the overall idea that the author was trying to convey also was extremely difficult for me to do. For the revised Building Block, I noted the use of syntax disruption, which is a modernist convention, but I did not mention how Olsen uses syntax disruption to explain the overall meaning she is trying to convey. Therefore, for my Rhetorical Analysis I made sure that every argument would be connected to the overall idea that I thought Olsen was trying to convey in the book Yonnondio. One thing that helped me do this was choosing my topic sentence carefully. I noticed that by writing strong topic sentences, it helped me stay connected to the overall idea that Olsen was trying to convey and it prevented me from going to topics not related to my argument or the overall idea.
