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.

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.

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.
