17 using kairos in doc 2
To me the idea of using kairos in a paper is a foreign one. It's not something that I've ever had to do before but after thinking about it I think that on some level, I do try to say certain things in my paper at the right time. Obviously it's important to make sure that your paper follows in chronological order but you can also use the endings of paragraphs to set up the next one. A good example of this is in my paper, I have a big long paragraph that talks about how long it can usually take to treat an injury if you use the traditional approach of going to see a doctor first. After citing a bunch of examples of how long this would take, I capitalize on the reader's feeling of how long that approach would take, by saying that if they were able to just go see a physical therapist in the first place it would be cheaper. It may not be an "aha" moment but I still think it's important to use proper timing in your writing to try to sway your reader into thinking a certain way.

Good idea and approach. A lot of the things we've been introduced to in this class has been foreign to me as well and being expected to incorporate those things into our writing has been a challenge for me. Good luck with the rest of your paper.
