Chapter 7: MK

Mary Katherine Rankey

This chapter is all about how to properly cite sources. Early in school we were not not to plagiarize and how to put things in our own words. The book does a great job of deeply explaining quoting, paraphrasing, and citing. To properly cite a work one should use the authors last time and page number in parentheses after the quote or paraphrase. Paraphrasing is putting what the author said, but using your own words to explain the same idea. Paraphrasing requires citation just as direct quotes do. Citing is important when writing a paper because the audience should know where you got your information from. Citing valid sources can make your research more reputable and thus more accurate.

    Yes, I agree the book does a good job of explaining the differences in quoting, paraphrasing, and citing in depth. Citing correctly can definitely contribute to people seeing the paper as more accurate.

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 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.
