really responding

#1. In the past while I revised peoples work I would be short and sweet on the paper but when handing it back to them I would explain what I meant. thinking about it know if I did that when thy go back to revise their work they may not remember what I explained. therefore, it make sense to provide more information then you think necessary.

#2. When the author said don't be supportive and give the writer the benefit of the doubt it stuck with me because when people read my writing I want them to tell me the truth and not say "oh its great" or "I don't think you need to change anything" I know there are issues with my writing that's why I'm asking your opinion so please tell me what you think. Also, I liked how he said don't try to sound like a teacher just sound like your normal self. I like this because if someone is reviewing my paper I want them to tell me what they think rather then tell me what to do.

#3. I have done peer review in the past and if it is a grade to peer review someone's paper people usually just do the are minimum to get the grade and don't actually give me advice on my papers so I would say its been negative in that situation. Now, if I am just asking someone to read my paper it has been positive because they will actually read my paper and give me good advice to improve my writing.

Action Plan

Jacqueline Kulle The peer review helped me a lot for my action plan and gave me more ideas and insight on what I should do. I was struggling with what I should do for my subversion, and I got the idea to do a meme or a comic strip. I have to finish and touch up my website, finish my nondigital picture, finish my comic strip, and get more participants for my survey. The peer review was beneficial and now I have a much clear idea on how I should do this project.

Subversion and Redemption. Rachel Klahm

1. Some subversion examples the author mentions are Max in  Where the Wild Things Are and Don Quixote. Other movies that are subversions are  A Haunted House and WALL-E. WALL-E is a subversion because it's a light hearted cartoon with a much deeper meaning. Humans have abused planet Earth with industrial corporations to the point where they must abandon it until robots have cleaned it up. The moral lesson is that technology and industry are bad and if we continue on the path we're on, the Earth will turn into the trash ridden world that is in WALL-E. Despite this, the film is still pro-human. Compared to the usual "humans are bad for nature" lesson, WALL-E  actually shows why Earth needs humans. The movie has no real dialogue from anyone, just robot sounds and intercom voices on the ship that the humans live on. When WALL-E   meets Eva they ask each other "Directive?" which basically means "What's your purpose?" Each robot in the film has a dir...

Mary Katherine Rankey annoying ways

The reading "Annoying Ways" is all about the annoying ways people choose to use their sources and the things they can do to change those quirks. The reading discussed the proper ways to cite sources and to cite quotes that the writer uses in their paper. The reading also discusses the importance of where to put a quote. Often times I find the perfect quote, but put it in an awkward place in the sentence, which not only makes my work more sloppy, but also takes away from the message of the quote. The author uses a lot of analogies in his writing to explain how the annoying ways of improper uses of quotes can mimic annoying things in real life. The reading taught me ways I can fix my writing style to fix those annoying habits I have.
