Mock Annotated Bibliography

Desmet, Charlotte, Van Der Wiel, Alko, Brass, Marcel. (2017). "Brain regions involved in observing and trying to interpret dog behaviour". PLOS One. Edited by Sam Gilbert.

The main point the authors of this article are trying to get across is whether or not parts of the brain that are involved with processing human behavior, are also associated when processing dog behavior. The author does fMRI scans showed activation in the mirror neuron receptors. The results came to be that specific neuron receptors like lSTS and IFG are more responsive to dog behavior that is considered difficult to respond to, in comparison to behavior that is easy to respond to. The experimenters also researched if dog ownership has an effect on interpreting dog behavior. Being the dogs owner did have some influence in having a better understanding in the behavior, but not enough to make it significant. This could be helpful for someone that wants to research the effects a dog can have on people. It can also be helpful for people researching the similarities and differences between human and dog brains.

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...
