Chapter 6

Julie Thayer
Before reading chapter 6 I had previous knowledge as to how to find a reliable source. However, I have never thought about the people around me as sources. I didn't realize how beneficial those around me can be when I need information/experience for my research paper. I also have never thought to look into who the author of my sources actually are and their qualifications. I usually just see .org or .edu at the end of a website and assume that everyone is just credible. This will be very beneficial because if they have a lot of experience with one's topic it can lead you to other papers they are written and give you more information. I have never thought of evaluating my sources in terms of what genre they are writing to and if the author uses sources. This can also help me figure out if the source is reliable and therefore the author credible.

    I agree with you about not considering that the people around you can be utilized as sources! When writing this upcoming research paper I will be sure to talk to others in the field to get a better understanding of my topic.

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...
