Annoying Ways

Haley Ketchum

 “Annoying Ways” is an article about different “annoying ways” we can mess up inserting research into our papers. The article opening was able to grab a lot of readers attention as it is something we can relate too, slow drivers that drive us crazy. The author was able to compare this to people inserting their research into their papers in annoying ways. Something in the article that the author notes that’s annoying is not introducing the quotation before inserting it into the text, which I frequently do. I do this a lot without realizing how awkward it is to read. He suggests that to fix this, I should introduce the author and I should state why the information I am using is important. Another “annoying way” I put research into my article is I put unnecessary information in my paper that is not needed. The author suggests to fix this, I should reread my essay and focus on the quotations I use, and if I think it sounds awkward and excessive, I should take it out.  While I am editing my research paper, I’ll be sure to use this article.

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...
