Free Writing Exercise 3/27

Sophia Fundora
1. My writing process for project 2 was different from project 1 in the way that I had a plethora of research papers and academic journals to dig through for information for my argument versus in project one I mainly had a single book and a single movie to go off of.
2. the first official draft I submitted and had reviewed by my professor was the most helpful because I had actually polished my shitty first draft prior to my meeting because I wanted a response on a more thought out piece of writing versus a couple suggestions on some bullet points.
3. If you asked me before I wrote Project 2, I would've told you Project 1 would be my all time favorite because it contained a lot more free writing but since I focused on a research question that related to my major for Project 2, I truly did enjoy writing it much more than our first assignment.

  1. I agree that project two required a lot more research and time to find information. I also said that project two was more enjoyable to write since we could choose any topic and relate it to our major.

  2. I agree that my first draft was the most helpful as well. I felt lost in my organization of my paper but as soon as I was given advice and tips on how to organize it, my final draft was so much easier

"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.
