My Verbs

Verbs are one of the main components of any sort of writing. It is important to vary the verbs that you use in your writing to keep if from sounding repetitive and boring. Below there is a list of all of the verbs that can be found in my draft of the rhetorical analysis. Following the last appearance of each verb is a tally of how many times the verb was used.
