Carissa Nguyen : Really Responding

1. I thought this text was really interesting to read because it kind gave me advice on how to criticize someone else's paper. Sometimes I'm too nervous to give feedback because I don't want to be to harsh about, but at the same time I want to help improve their paper. It also helped me think of other things to look for in the person's paper, rather than just minor grammar or spelling errors.

2. I think all the strategies are good things to keep in mind while reading other papers. I thought the one strategy about reading the paper in a certain way. Rather than just reading for errors you should read the paper and ask does it follow the instructions of the assignment? The writer can fix their minor corrections later on, so reading the actual context itself can help the writer even more. Also, another strategy to keep in mind while doing peer review, was to be careful with how you give your feedback. You want to give good constructive criticism, but you can't be too harsh about it because it could discourage the writer.

3. In high school we did peer review a lot, but no one would really give feedback so it didn't do much for my writing. But last semester my teacher had us do peer review and it seemed to be more affective because she graded it. I think this made the other students actually respond with feedback. Personally, I like to read others' papers because sometimes it sparks more ideas to improve my paper.

This text showed me how us as readers perceive a certain font or text and how it can influence our mood and how we feel about a certain reading. It also showed me how elaborate texts can draw us into something such as a poster or a title page of a book. Also how very bland fonts do not appeal to many readers as they might think of it as boring and plain. This gives me a lot to think about as project three comes closer. It makes me think of the reader and what type of fonts might draw them into my website, social media page, etc. This text was very helpful for this type of assignment.

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...
