Free Write

1. My writing process for project 2 was of course, a lot more analytical. It was a lot like writing a DBQ. I had to look at the sources I collected and found a way to group them in a way that was most beneficial to my paper. In project one I simply watched two movies and it was more of a compare and contrast fathering than arguing something like I did in project 2. Unlike project 1, I found it easier to find the “so what” factor in project too because it was pretty much given.
2. Draft 1 helped me the most, especially with project two because I got my criticism right away. This way, it was easier for me to organize my paper because I was given the idea to use subtitles. Where it would normally take me a whole day to finish my paper, I finished my final draft in a few hours and did not need a second draft. I feel as help with my first draft was very beneficial.
3. I actually enjoyed project 2 the most because it was something I found interesting and was passionate about, trophy hunting. Yes, it was more difficult to write in having so many sources however, because I had all of these sources I didn’t find myself feeling as if I did not have enough information to put into my paper.

Comments

  1. I agree that it was more difficult to write a paper with so many sources although it did help in the long run when needing examples or new information to support a point.

  2. I agree that writing only one draft can be a lot easier when it comes to writing the final draft. I also found project two to be the most interesting to write about.

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.
