I thought this reading was very helpful because I have never thought to do a lot of these things. For example, I have never tried free writing to figure out which topic I would write a paper on, and this concept seems very helpful. Also, I typically keep my writing to myself, but talking about your ideas for topics to people will help decide what is best to write about. One of the bigger concepts this writing talked about when discussing brainstorming is mind mapping. For me, I do not think I would use this concept, only because I would rather see an organized list compared to a map. The reading also discussed exploring topics through preliminary research. I agree that it is extremely helpful to know conflicting views on your topic, and to know what others say about it.

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...

Action Plan

Haley Ketchum My plan is to finish my three genres and finish my website. My website is nearly finished, but still needs a few touches to make it look good and work efficiently. I’m still unsure of how I am going to do my three genres. I forgot about how one of the three genres has to be non-digital, or a remediation, etc, so I need to replan my genres so they fit these requirements.
