Red Shoes
Through this essay it is easy to see how the author expresses her voice,
It is obvious she is trying to give her audience a sense of choice.
She had a great love for the red shoes that she wore as a child.
When reading her paper it is almost as if she is trying to
Combine two into one.
She had a great love for the red shoes that she wore as a child.
She makes paragraphs of argument, yet when reading you realize she is
No where close to done.
She had a great love for the red shoes that she wore as a child.
She goes on to write in a different style of text of her fond memories of When she was young, as if she has a mix of tongue.
She had a great love for the red shoes that she wore as a child.
Griffin talks of the present and then talks of the past,
Making personal references quite fast.

As a young girl, she not only wore these shoes for special occasions,
But even on the most ordinary of days.

Cambri,
You are right in saying that Griffin is trying to make her audience realize that they have a choice--they can bring in their private, personal, stories and their individual "voice" into the public format of the traditional essay, to enrich it or they can maintain an illusion of objectivity by leaving out the "I."
Griffin models what the essay would look like if the personal voice were mingled with the public analysis and commentary by using both and as you say,"trying to combine the two into one."
You do a good job of the "rhetorical analysis in a non-traditional format." You have written a rhetorical analysis in the form of a poem. And you show the mingling of personal story and public commentary in Griffin by using "She had a great love for the red shoes she wore as a child" interpersed between comments on what she does as an essayist.
My question for you if you are going to revise this piece: what have you learned about essay writing and analysis by using a non-traditional format? What did this form enable you to do? What limitations did the form place on you?
