Evaluating writting and Music

Evaluating writing is the analysis and evaluation of writing based on  specific goals. One example could be the media analysis essay where we evaluated the media pieces based on their rhetoric goals. Establishing criteria for an evaluative essay is very important because the criteria is the basis for ruling out bias in the evaluation. For example i could say that burger king is better then McDonald based on their fries   but McDonald is better based on flavor. With this statement both places are better then the other based on different criteria.

Rosen's reference to music as an outlet is restating the fact that music has been used as an alternative. For artists it has been especially a way to connect to their fans, with insight information into their personal lives. It's a means for not just artists but individuals to express the emotions they are feeling through the best way they know how. Moreover, troubled youth use it as a means of staying out of trouble by focusing on their music and talent. Although many critics may say that all music within a genre sound the same, they are actually quite different because every artist has a story and use their music to tell it. For others music is a way of encouragement because they listen to similar artists who were in the same position they are in but now have succeed. Finally people use music as a form of letting others see their viewpoints on certain issues that are important to them. Finally, music can be used as a means of worship, or up lifting when in certain situations.
