Really Responding

Syvannah Boland

A. This text surprised me because it truly captured how peer editing should be versus how people peer edit in reality. Straub captured the main flaws in most people' peer editing work, and it was a shock that most people do the bare minimum instead of actually being productive and helpful to others when reading their papers.
B. Yes I do. I think focusing on fixing the issues based off of what we learn in class is a good way to critique someone's paper. Straub also mentioned to be critical, but supportive and constructive as well. I think these are great pointers when it comes to giving feedback, because it improves the paper without making the other person feel bad about their work. 
C. I have peer edited in the past, and it honestly has been a negative experience. I basically only did it for the grade and gave comments that weren't very thorough or helpful. I gave people the benefit of the doubt because I didn't want to make them feel bad for making mistakes, and that is something Straub specifically says not to do. I want people to be helpful with my writing so I can improve, so this shed light on how I should be more helpful when I participate in peer editing.

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.

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...

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.
