BBG 261-276

   Finding a research topic can be stressful for most people. However, in BBG pgs 261-276 they explain how to try and narrow down a topic so that it can be effective in ones writing. It taught me that at first one must generalize a topic at first but then we must ask a specific research question to make our research more specific. If at first the article results are to much one must make there topic even more specific or else there will be to much material to cover. It also works the other way, if your topic is to specific then you must try to broaden your topic so more articles will appear. The BBG also says that one should try to find a topic they enjoy about writing. If someone finds a research topic that they are interested in then it will make writing the paper much easier and the quality of the writing might even be better. These pages also helped me begin to brainstorm for a research topic in P2  as it also talks about different preliminary writing techniques to get your ideas out on paper.

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...
