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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

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.
