Free writing

Megan Heller

1) My writing process for project 2 was different from project 1 by being more careful in what I write and how I write it. I took more time in perfecting my research paper and making sure that the sources I had were appropriate. There was more background work that I had to do for project 2 than project 1, as project 1 was mainly my own argument that did not need an expert's opinion.

2) I liked being anle to write three drafts, as we did in project 1 because after the revision of the second draft there might be errors in parts of the draft that I may have overlooked. Also, I was able to have more time to reread my paper to make sure it sounded appropriate.

3) I enjoyed project 1 the most because I was able to form an argument that was original by talking about the effects of adaptations and how that may reflect the audience and society as a whole. I had more room to discuss and break down my argument rather than trying to explain previous research, as in project 2.

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.

Action Plan

Jacqueline Kulle The peer review helped me a lot for my action plan and gave me more ideas and insight on what I should do. I was struggling with what I should do for my subversion, and I got the idea to do a meme or a comic strip. I have to finish and touch up my website, finish my nondigital picture, finish my comic strip, and get more participants for my survey. The peer review was beneficial and now I have a much clear idea on how I should do this project.

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...
