Annoying Ways

"Annoying Ways" has helped me realize that just because a source is reliable, and is offering valuable knowledge, it is only important if it fits correctly with your paper. If there is random sources that don't relate directly to the thesis, they should not be included in your paper. Furthermore, it taught me the importance of citing sources correctly. Many people overlook if the source is correctly cited, either because they are unaware, or don't feel like fixing the issue. I also had not realized that quotes should not start, nor end a paragraph. Also there should be a buildup to the quote relating it to the subject at hand, and an explanation for using it. "Annoying Ways" has taught me a lot more about citing, and I will use this knowledge in my final draft of my research paper.

    It is important for one to cite their sources correctly or they can confuse the reader and get points taken off their paper

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.
