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.

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.
