chapter 7

I don't have much experience with integrating my sources into my papers, so I think this is one of my weakest points in my essays. I was never really sure if I was doing it correctly because to me it felt off, but my teachers didn't take points off. I usually stuck with the same type of citation, where I would quote the source with quotations and then state the authors last name. However, in chapter 7 I learned that I could also paraphrase or summarize the source in my own words. This will make the quote less wordy, especially if it is long and is over three lines. Also, you still have to give credit to the author because it was their idea and thoughts you just reworded it. The example in the book gave the writer credit by saying, "According to Dar..". I think I will definitely use this form of bringing my sources into my paper because it flows better throughout the paper. I found this chapter very helpful for integrating sources and I plan on using many of the tips they demonstrated.

    I agree with you. This chapter I also learned that saying "According to.." is a type of citation

    I always was never absolutely sure if my in text citations were correct, so this chapter was helpful for me too. I also will use the tips demonstrated in the chapter in my future papers.

    Typically when I put sources into my paper I use the parenthesis with the author's name and page number. I never really did consider "According to..." as a form of in text citation, but this helps so that the paper lacks differentiation.

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.
