Jade DeBarry
About MeHello! My name is Jade DeBarry. I am currently a first year Anthropology Major at UC Irvine with hopes to minor in Management and African American Studies. This portfolio is designed to display my work and continuous growth as a rhetorical writer and student throughout my time in Writing 39B. Some of the objectives of this course include coming to understand the purpose of rhetoric, learning to critically read various means of texts, and improving communication skills across several forms of media as a formal, scholarly writer. Although we are focusing on horror, my hope is to understand not only what makes the horror genre effective and interesting, but how all mediums of communication can become persuasive and relevant given the proper techniques and passion to create them.
