annoying ways

Kyle D. Stedman's article, "Annoying Ways" made very helpful points on how to properly cite sources without creating an "annoyance" to readers. I enjoyed how he compared writing to annoying slow drivers and added a sense of humor. The most useful mechanism he used was showing an annoying way to insert a citation, then showing how to properly fix it and explaining why it isn't considered correct. I think seeing these example will help me when it comes to revising my paper, because not only can I see what I was doing wrong, but I also know how to fix my mistakes. I'm definitely going to use this article to help improve my paper when it is time to revise my paper.

    I agree that Stedman did well in educating his readers and getting his point across with humor as well as the very relatable scenario of driving. His addition of a how to fix it part also made his article easy and clear to navigate and I too will use his advice in the future.

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.
