Subversion

1. Go the Fuck to Sleep is an example of subversion, it is like a parody of children’s books but it is made for adults because of the explicit language and the more mature jokes that were in the reading. Another example of subversion would be Shrek the movie. Shrek is a parody of all the Disney princess movies and breaking the stereotype of a lady in distress and the perfect Prince Charming rescue. Instead a ogre saves the princess who also turns out to be an ogre and they live happily ever after. It is a great movie because it is a parody of other fairytale movies but is also a good fairytale movie itself.

2. Go the Fuck to Sleep is a book that is just making fun of children’s book which makes it a subversion or parody. It is funny but is only intended for an adult audience as the words in the book are rather explicit for younger children.

    Your comparison of subversion to a parody of children’s books was really good!

The Bedford Book of Genres

Throughout chapter 1 of “The Bedford Book of Genres,” I learned that there are a variety of ways to improve one’s writing. Several writers tend to get carried away while writing that they forget who their audience is and what message they are trying to deliver. This is when one must ask themselves what their purpose of writing is, do they want to present a narrative/ tell a story, inform, or persuade. After figuring out ones purpose they must choose a genre to be able to shorten their idea and be concise. In order for this to occur one must know the basic qualities and agreed-upon rules about the genre they are composing. Once one makes those decisions they move on to the rhetorical situation which mainly explains the idea. This allows the writer to provide support on their purpose such as saying what is great about it or provide statistics, which will automatically make their writing more interesting for the audience to read, as well as, get t...

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.
