Free Write 3/27

Meghan Hawk

  1. Project one was more of an explanatory style essay that allowed me to argue for a certain opinion based on specific evidence that I chose to include. However, project two was extensively research based and required a greater amount of time to read, understand, and analyze my sources in order to integrate them as apart of my essay. 
  2. I preferred transforming my first draft into the final draft because with the first draft I had a sense of direction and structure so I could continue through to the final draft finishing and polishing my ideas. If it weren’t for the first draft I would’ve had a harder time writing the paper if there weren’t any drafts to begin with. 
  3. I enjoyed the first project more because I focused on two works of my personal favorite and got to dissect them for their genre conventions and how they did or did not follow these expectations. Project two made me super frustrated at times and I did not have as an easy or fun time reading the sources nor writing the essay, even if it was a topic I enjoyed.

    Project one was definitely more explaining against specific evidence, compared to project 2. I also agree that I would have had a harder time writing the paper with no prior written rough drafts.

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.
