annoying ways

I found Annoying Ways to be a great article because it quickly grabbed my attention since I hate slow drivers as well and it really annoys me. I found it interesting how they compared writing with slow drivers. there are potentially secret rules when driving that everyone knows about but doesn't always follow them. As for writing its the same thing there are rules that you are supposed to follow and many people know them they just don't follow them all. the first example they used explains that when providing  a quote the writer must introduce the quote or at least give some previous evidence as to why the quote was placed in the passage. Another example that they used is when you want to look at the article the writer is using to cite their information from but the citation does not match up with their works cited page. these examples show me that when writing you need to pay attention to the little things and make sure that your paper is making sense as you are writing it.

    I love how you talked about secret rules, I think the reading touches on that when they say how it's not technically a rule but most people expect you to write this way. I completely agree that as writers we must pay attention to the little things because they are important.

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.
