As with all the previous articles we've read for our homework assignments in this class so far, I found "Choosing a Topic Through Basic Research"to be extremely helpful especially as a person who despises writing research papers. I agree with the various tips the article gives for trying to come up with the overarching topic of your paper. As someone who when it comes to writing puts all the pressure on themselves, sharing my ideas with people so we can come up with a topic together would have never crossed my mind but this article helped point out how helpful that would really be. What the article suggested which I do myself is writing about a topic you truly enjoy. I find that doing this makes it much easier to knock out a four or five page paper on it versus struggling on the first page due to a topic that you don't care at all for but think that it would appeal to the audience more- if you're not into it, your writing will reflect this and your audience as well will not be interested

  1. I agree that sharing topics helps solidify your ideas, as well as gives you a new point of view when it comes to your subject. I also agree that you have to want to write about a subject for it to be the best writing.

  2. I definitely agree that writing about a topic that you enjoy or writing about a new topic that you have serious interest in is very important! i feel it helps relieve pressure and it makes the assignment not so terrible!

  3. I agree. It's so much simpler and more effective writing on topics that come naturally and ones that you are passionate about so the reading was helpful

Action Plan

For my action plan I will add more pictures to my website and continue to expand on my topic. I also plan to make posters to place around campus to reach outside audiences and use that as my nondigital source. I will continue to work over the weekend to finish the project and best carry out my message on my website.

1) In project two I first did a lot of research to gather ideas and topics that I wanted to include in my essay. Then I went through and proofed it while adding citations and formatting everything. I did ended up doing three drafts rather than two. Project one was a little easier to write in my opinion because it was based off of our observations rather than facts and statistics. 2) I liked taking my first draft and transforming it into a final draft. This is where I organized all my thoughts and made the paper flow nicely. Once I have all my ideas out on the paper I can easily reorganize, cut and add new things. 3) I enjoyed project one more. I think it was lighter in the sense that it was more fun to write about. I liked exploring the different kinds of social adaptions in the films while also comparing time eras.
Jamica Williams What are some subversion examples the author mentions? A few books the the author mentions It's just a plant, Heather has two Mommies, and Gloria Goes Gay Can you think of other 2 books or movies that are subversion? Scary movie 1 and 2 Why are they subversion? Scary movie is subversive because it takes into account the the rhetorical factors in most scary movies and joke on them. Its more of a comedy than a "scary" movie. Each of the characters do exactly whats expected. They run the opposite way like up the stairs, trip and fall multiple times, and even live with the ghost that is haunting them. What do you think "GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP?" Who should be the target audience for this book? The audience of this book is any adult/parent. Because its probably R-Rated its targeted to older people, and anyone can find this humorous.
