Chapter 7

Megan Heller

Chapter 7 discussed ways to avoid plagiarism and strategies for citation. This chapter was very helpful as it gave examples of MLA format for me to help in my research paper. Whenever I get stuck trying to cite something of format something correctly I typically go online to Purdue OWL which has helped me in all my previous papers. I have not been extremely concerned knowing how to format and structure a paper, but I do appreciate the examples in the text as it helps to solidify my work thus far.

    I also agree that chapter 7 was very helpful especially considering that our research paper due date is quickly approaching. I aswell have used OWL at Purdue when I’ve gotten stuck on previous research assignments.

    I usually would go to easy bib or purdue owl as well, but that never allowed me to learn how to actually cite. the reference guides on how to cite at the end of the chapter will be super helpful.

    I also go to citation generators when I am stuck or unsure about my citations or bibliography. I liked reading this because it taught me more of how to make them without so much help from those sites.

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...
