Subversion

1. What are some subversion examples the author mentions? Can you think of other two books or movies that are subversions? Why are they subversions?

Some subversion examples the author provides is the book Go the Fuck to Sleep (GTFTS), which is what the text is mainly written about, and the book Where the Wild Things Are. Two other books or movies I can think about are the Scary movies, which you would think is a horror movie but is instead a parody of scary movies, and Not Another Teen Movie, which is a parody of teen rom-com movies. These are both subversions because from the titles you would think they are serious movies, but instead they are parodies of the genre.

2. What do you think of “Go the Fuck to Sleep?” Who should be the targeted audience for this book?

I think GTFTS is a funny concept that a lot of parents can relate to. I can relate to it because I have a much younger brother who still refuses to go to sleep, and I have babysat many stubborn children who do not want to go to bed at bedtime. For the targeted audience, it is not only parents that can targeted, but also anyone who has had to deal with young, stubborn children.

Writing Activity March 27, 2018

My writing process for project 2 was different from project 1 because I had to conduct research towards my argumentative topic. I also was required to use the Florida State university database in order to find peer-reviewed article that would provide me with correct information. This essay also had several sources whom mad me sound more credible towards my audience, which enabled me to write more about my topic. The personally think that writing a first draft and then revising it in order for it to be my final draft to be very helpful when writing a research essay. I was able to carefully go over any grammatical or punctuation errors as well as make sure that all my sentences made sense and were not random. I enjoyed project 2 the most because I was required to conduct research on my topic, which allowed me to expand my knowledge towards an argument that is personal to me and it made me sound even more credible when discussing this argument face to face with someone.

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...
