Free write (in class)

Syvannah Boland

1. My writing process was different in this project versus project one in that I brainstormed a lot differently due to the change in type of paper. I got all of my quotes, facts, paraphrases, etc. done before I actually made an introduction or cohesive paragraphs because it was easier to start from the sources and work my own writing into it from there. With the first essay, I wrote an intro first to get an idea as to how I would organize my essay, and that was one of my last steps for this project. My rough draft was much less cohesive but it helped me to focus on what to write later.

2. I always prefer transferring one draft to another because starting the writing is the hardest part for me. Once I get something down, it's typically pretty easy for me to stay on a roll and keep writing, whereas in the beginning I usually write and erase at least five times, making it a very time consuming and tedious process. It helps me to look at the draft and take what I have in order to transform it into something else.

3. I preferred project one because in general, I like analytical papers over research papers. I enjoy analyzing readings and making meaning out of it more than I do looking at outside sources and trying to tie multiple pieces of information together. It's usually easier for me to find a topic that interests me for essays like project one more than essays like project two.

    I also enjoyed project one more than project two. Analytical papers are so much easier to write and we got to choose something we enjoyed. I liked project two, but project one was much more fun to write.

    The use of multiple drafts did help me so I did not have to go back and erase everything, but gave me something to branch off of. I also enjoyed project 1 more because it was more analytical and research papers are more time consuming.

    Syvannah, I agree that the brainstorming was completely different from one project to the next. I agree that after having one draft complete, it makes it much easier for you to get more ideas out there to tie everything together and polish your final drafts.

"Really Responding"

Sophia Fundora  The text "Really Responding" surprised me in the way that Richard Straub claimed that putting forth maximum effort when peer reviewing someone else's paper could make you an even better writer. He emphasizes the importance of writing comments within the margarines and summarizing the paper in your own words. I believe that this strategy mentioned could be very helpful not only for the person who's paper your reviewing but for yourself as well. It helps the writer see how the audience would perceive their paper and what they need to work on. It helps the reviewer by enhancing their comprehension skills and applying their own comments on their own paper as well. I also believe his strategy of taking the stage of drafting in to consideration when peer reviewing could be very helpful. For example, Straub mentions how if it's a first or rough draft, try not to deal with all the editing at once but instead focus on the large picture like the focus, con...

Picture Rhetoric

This ticket is advertising an upcoming event that the sorority, Delta Gamma, is holding. It is rhetorically effective because it is colorful and completely delivers the idea that there will be a variety of different desserts at the event. The candies work very closely with theme and helps students to easily look at the ticket and be able to understand what the event is. I think that the size is very effective for this advertising ticket. I also think it very well informs the public because it states the time the event will be held and the date, as well as the address.

Peaceful Protest during the Vietnam War- Sophia Fundora, Alison McGrath

Peaceful Protest during the Vietnam War Throughout the sixties, antiwar protests sprung up across America due to the United States' controversial involvement in the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War Protests are marked as being some of the first major anti-war protests in the States. In today's society, there are various non-violent anti-war protests around the globe. These protests have made monumental differences around the world, as put by Julia Bacha, "The [Budrus] residents, after ten months of peaceful resistance, convinced the Israeli government to move the root of the barrier off their lands and to the green line, which is internationally recognized boundary between Israel and the Palestinian territories," (1). Though some may claim that the Vietnam protests had no effect and the only reason we pulled out of the war was due to how costly it was, this protest is pivotal in setting an example for future peaceful protestors throughout history.
