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

The authors in this article are informing their readers if parts of the brain that process human behavior are also involved in processing dog behavior. In order to attain accurate results on this matter, the author gives FMRI scans to see which parts of the brain are used when processing dog behavior. Due to FMRI scans, the author is able to state accurate information on the topic. The result states that brain regions are more receptive to dog behaviors that are hard to respond to than those that are easy to respond to. The authors also performed a search on whether owning a dog has an effect on understanding dog behavior. Being a dog owner, does influence ones understanding in a dog’s behavior but it does not have enough factual information for it to be considered accurate. This article withholds information that can be helpful to people that are researching about the parts of the brain used when interpreting dogs behavior as well as the differences in dog and human brains and the way the parts of the brain work.

    Citation is correct, the thesis is there and is correct, she also put the results of the experiment and who they would help.

Writing Activity March 27, 2018

My writing process for project 2 was different from project 1 because I had to conduct research towards my argumentative topic. I also was required to use the Florida State university database in order to find peer-reviewed article that would provide me with correct information. This essay also had several sources whom mad me sound more credible towards my audience, which enabled me to write more about my topic. The personally think that writing a first draft and then revising it in order for it to be my final draft to be very helpful when writing a research essay. I was able to carefully go over any grammatical or punctuation errors as well as make sure that all my sentences made sense and were not random. I enjoyed project 2 the most because I was required to conduct research on my topic, which allowed me to expand my knowledge towards an argument that is personal to me and it made me sound even more credible when discussing this argument face to face with someone.

The Bedford Book of Genres

Throughout chapter 1 of “The Bedford Book of Genres,” I learned that there are a variety of ways to improve one’s writing. Several writers tend to get carried away while writing that they forget who their audience is and what message they are trying to deliver. This is when one must ask themselves what their purpose of writing is, do they want to present a narrative/ tell a story, inform, or persuade. After figuring out ones purpose they must choose a genre to be able to shorten their idea and be concise. In order for this to occur one must know the basic qualities and agreed-upon rules about the genre they are composing. Once one makes those decisions they move on to the rhetorical situation which mainly explains the idea. This allows the writer to provide support on their purpose such as saying what is great about it or provide statistics, which will automatically make their writing more interesting for the audience to read, as well as, get t...

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.
