Final tumblr post

The one thing I enjoyed about this class was it was independent based. There was flexibility that you had to establish for yourself. I am a person who appreciates being in control and I felt like that was able to be enhanced in this class.

One thing that could be improved is the lesson about rhetorical analysis. Specifically an in depth outline as to what the paper should look like. I spent almost 2 weeks writing my rhetorical analysis and I took it to the writing center and they said it was a strong paper. However, I did not get the grade I was hoping for. I think I could have made a better grade if there was a little more direction as to what specifically the body paragraphs were supposed to look like.

Why It's Worth Trying Even If You're Skeptical

Skepticism is fair. I had plenty. But trying SweetDream costs you an evening and might surprise you the way it surprised me. Building a companion is fun, and the first real conversation does most of the convincing.

What flips skeptics is the quality. When the chat is natural, the photos are beautiful, and the voice sounds warm, the doubts quiet down. If you're on the fence about an AI girlfriend, sweetdream.ai is a low-risk way to find out for yourself.

Before the semester ends, I have 3 final papers to write. English class has helped me not be afraid or dread writing anymore by really understanding what the whole writing process consist of. I use to never plan out my papers or create an outline. Creating different outlines this year for different classes has really helped me figure out all the ideas I want to include. I use to stare at a blank screen for hours without anything on it. Creating an outline for any paper or project I have for different classes has really allowed me to plan out my papers and pick out the valuable information that I want to include in my paper. I will continue to create outlines before drafting a paper for now on.

marinpickett

I agree this class has provided a foundation for my writing, which in turn has given me a clear starting point. I also would just stare at a paper or screen and never know how to begin. I have learned that you just need to begin writing, no matter how bad the outcome is. Revision is a crucial process and for my papers specifically, I need to revise numerous times before I turn in my work.

Post #13

I can translate my writing process to other work by using the same strategies that I have used in this class. I have already begun transferring the writing process that I have built in the classroom, to other assignments. For example, I had a lab report for Biology and I struggled with how to start it. Then I thought back to the tactics that I use in English, and I just started to write to get something on the page. My favorite and most useful tactic I have gained from this class is the “shitty rough draft technique”. Whenever I have a writing assignment I start with an awful rough draft and keep revising till it is exceptional. A week ago I began my lab report, and at first it was extremely wordy and poorly written. However, after 3 revisions it was in tip top shape. Just simply having a starting point can make the writing process go a long way.

I think the most challenging assignment for me at least was the rhetorical analysis essay. I have never written an essay like that before and it was definitely a challenge for me to limit my personal opinions in the essay. It was hard to try to come from an unbiased viewpoint about the rhetorical effect of the article. It was also difficult to dissect the rhetorical aspects of the article. I have definitely grown as a writer throughout this process. I am more comfortable editing rough drafts and have learned to put more time into my writing. I have learned a lot more resources that I can use to further help my writing process. I am comfortable with rhetorical analysis and using rhetoric to persuade an audience.

marinpickett

I agree that the Rhetorical analysis was the most difficult essay. Taking the role as an observer, instead of voicing ones opinion can be challenging. I also struggled with staying unbiased because I had a strong stance regarding the topic. It’s awesome that you have become more comfortable with editing and producing work. I also feel that I have become more comfortable with the work I create.

The assignment that has been the most challenging this semester is, The Rhetorical Analysis. I struggled with the structure of the essay and being passionate about my topic. My topic was electric car chargers, and It was hard to make the topic engaging, which is why I feel I struggled with it.

My writing has improved this semester because I have learned to become more concise. In the past I would express an excess amount of information. I have grown as a writer through the semester and feel confident in my skills going forward. I always despised writing because I didn’t take the time to actually try on my papers. I have developed my own writing process, which has helped me become more successful.

Social media should not be censored. social media connects people world wide, it is the main source of information, and the platforms were made to let people express their ideas.

My article was pro-censorship of the media. The article wants the government to step in and censor certain media post or streams. I disagree with that because of how massive the tech world is. Limiting peoples ideas and thoughts will have a terrible impact on the information that people will obtain.

marinpickett

I agree social media should not be censored. It was created as a platform were people could voice there opinions and post what they want to. As soon as restriction gets involved, it is taking away the right to freedom of speech. I understand how everything on social media is not beneficial but there would be many more problems if censorship came into play.

Post #11

My central claim is to romanticize standardizing electric car chargers. The supporting claims that I incorporated is that there is an insufficient amount of electric car chargers available for users, which in hand is making consumers frustrated with the lack of availability of chargers.

My argument supports the argument in my previous rhetorical analysis. “What fax machines tell us about electric cars” The argument I made expands on the topic of the conflict that arises with the lack of standardization.

Are You Credible?

It is important to evaluate a source before you use it to make sure that the source is reliable. Without checking the credentials of your selected source, you open yourself up to the possibility os false information. When thinking about an article, you have to examine the author, publication, website presentation, everything that aids in your articles effectiveness needed to be fact checked. So when looking for a reliable source stay away from the articles on webpages with ads, or with no information about the author or publication, and always find more than one source so that way you can prove the information on display to be accurate.

ashleyesq

I agree with making sure that the source is reliable, a lot of information can be misinforming. And using that said information for an essay, you are also contributing to the false information without knowing. Using a website like the one in class or doing more research will help make sure you get the right answers.

marinpickett

I totally agree that evaluating a source is crucial. It would be detrimental if false information was being displayed because the audience would receive incorrect information. The process of checking to make sure a source is credible is a good tactic to use to ensure that the information is relevant and true.

Post #10

It is important to evaluate a source because if one does not check over the information displayed, they could be using false or incorrect information. Which in turn influences a person to learn false information which can be detrimental. One of the most important things I have learned is that bias is inevitable in research even if charts, or infographics. However, it is crucial to use the least biased source that still contains factual information.

The knowledge I gained from the reading will allow me to note when there is slight bias and also understand when there is too much bias making the source inadequate.

The articles I will now look for will be factual informative articles that do not take a stance for one side or the other. Using unbiased articles will allow me to use relevant and true information.

The author’s thesis is that technology has helped the world communicate and be more connected but has also made us hate each other much more. The author cites a study where researchers watched the way people in a condo complex interacted with each other especially their next door neighbors. This study was done in the 70s though so I feel like it would be interesting to conduct this study in today’s world. Other than that though I feel as if the article presented it’s evidence very well when it came to explaining the points of the article. The main potential counterargument people would say is that on a personal level, the more people communicate with people on their phones the more they like them.

marinpickett

Seems like your article was interesting! The author seems as if they were successful, by clearly stating their position and backing up their claim with evidence. Counterarguments are crucial to reference during an argument. The counterargument that people communicating through their phones signifies that they like the person can be complicated to argue back. However, with the real world evidence of the condo experiment it strengths the idea that technology is making people dislike others more.

Post 9

Regarding Beth Doresy’s article “What fax machines tell about Electric cars' ' the thesis was established through research on fax machines and how standardizing the machines benefited the market. With the background evidence, her thesis built credibility by her stating that there should be a standardization of electric car charges. By referencing the fax machines the audience is able to see the positive impacts of standardizing.

The evidence used in the article was clearly stated and straight to the point. The logos aspect was able to resemble a cause and effect relationship of how crucial it is to standardize technology. Through the example of fax machines and the obstacles the market faced because of inaccessibility, a comparison was drawn with the electric car chargers. The evidence made the author's thesis credible, but there could be more examples added, such as other situations where standardization benefited technology.

The counter argument is to not standardize car chargers because it is an expensive change. Although the new chargers would benefit the users, the chargers that are being used now still work, they are just more of a hassle. Indicating that no change is necessary.

Oct 4, 2013 - SUBMIT YOUR INFOGRAPHIC Welcome to Cool Daily Infographics At Cool Daily Infographics we are passionate about design, a

The infographic of the new iPhone 6 rhetorical situation is trying to sell the new iPhone. It is presenting you with all the latest updates apple has made and why you should buy it. I found it through the website Pinterest but was created by a website called Vandelay web. The images' purpose is to persuade the reader to buy the new iPhone. With all the new features it draws iPhone users in to check out why it is different and better than their old iPhone or even just phones in general that do not have these new features. The infographic uses logos by providing us with statics and facts on each new feature. The infographic utilized CRAP very well. It used varying different font sizes keeping it simple with all the facts in white. The Background was a darker blue making the words stand out and the alignment of the facts and pictures were perfect. Putting the picture of the iPhone right in the center of the infographic was very effective to draw the readers in. It also uses repetition of color, font, and font size in the image. Overall, this infographic was successful.

marinpickett

I agree that the infographic was successful with its purpose and utilized all the CRAP components well. I was able to identify the reason for the advertisement and through logos and ethos the credibility was built to make me (the audience) want to buy the new phone. The contrast and coloring highlighted the information that was important for the audience to retain. Overall this is an excellent example of a persuasive infographic.

Post #8

The rhetorical situation of this advertisement is promoting the new Nissan electric car along with an efficient charger. The audience can be identified as those who are looking to get an electric car and owners of a Nissan electric car. The image’s purpose is to emphasize the advancements the car company has made involving the car itself and the new charger.

This image incorporates all of the rhetorical appeals beginning with ethos by providing credibility of the car company Nissan. Also the advertisement develops logos by describing the new advances of the car charger, which essentially plays into pathos by describing this is the “ new car that people have been waiting for” indicating an urgency to purchase the car and charger.

The CRAP components are met in the advertisement through the repetition of bright blue coloring, which symbolizes a calm sense to the audience which goes hand in hand with the effect the new charger gives owners. There is also a construct from the image of the car to the information about the car. The alignment is proportional and easy on the audience's eyes, which essentially provides the information more clearly. The proximity coincides with the alignment developing the information even more. Overall the image is easy to understand and successfully addresses the audience.

The author of my article “The emotional chatbots are here to probe our feelings” starts many of her paragraphs off with quotes. She uses quotes as references for what she is trying to explain and make known. I felt as if the author successfully used quotes in her article to point out main ideas and get her message across. Using quotes about the app for the article backed up the author on why she thought the replika app was so helpful to others. Including quotes made the text more personal, making it easy for the reader to relate to others. Yes, using quotes in my rhetorical analysis would help make my paper better and explain what I am trying to argue. Finding quotes throughout the article that back up path, ethos, logos would make my paper much more effective with if the author was successful or not.

marinpickett

Although my author did not use outside sources she was still able to build pathos, ethos, and logos similar to yours. I would have to fully agree that throughout my own rhetorical analysis, the quotes I incorporated supported the idea that my author successfully conveyed her claim. Evidence is extremely important and builds credibility for the writer which is interpreted by the audience.

In the article “What Fax machines can teach us about electric cars” the author does not include quotes. An informative article with no quotes seems like it would be detrimental. However, the author did her own research surrounding fax machines which established credibility for the author and still provided factual evidence. When the author Beth Doresy included her own research she would elaborate on the evidence. For instance, “No single firm dominated the market place, and nobody agreed to use a single common standard.” The logos criteria was met, and provided facts in this quote. And after stating the information gathered, she included an analysis of how the companies are struggling because there is no standardized for fax machines. Doresy’s evidence was successful but I do think it would have been more beneficial if she included more outside sources instead of just using her own research.

Peer Review

September 27, 2021

The suggestions that were the most helpful was a comment on my wordiness. I tend to go on and on about unnecessary details and tangents of stories that aren’t able to get my point across. When I went to the writing center a couple of weeks ago, my main critique was shortening my paper by eliminating unnecessary sentences. The least helpful suggestions I’ve received is when I am asked to change my sentence structure or the sound of my writing. I want my writing to be able to get a point across while still sounding like myself and in the past I have received editing advice that made me sound like a computer offering its rebuttal.

I enjoy editing because I think it is the easiest and most interesting part of the writing. The rough draft is the worst because you have to say everything you want to, but editing it just makes it sound good and helps you organize all the thoughts and ideas you came up with while writing. I don’t like grammar, and punctuation editing just because I have never taken a grammar class so I often don’t realize that my grammar is wrong. Without spell check and grammarly I would be doing much worse.

marinpickett

I also tend to over explain things which essentially tailors me off onto a tangent that distracts from my claim. It is always helpful when a peer notices my lack of conciseness, and it allows me to shorten my sentences. I would have to disagree about the process of editing, I despise it. I always find myself stuck and unable to change the text to make it flow. However, I do enjoy seeing the changes from my rough draft to my final draft.

Post #6

In high school before I had to turn in a paper, my teachers would have “writing workshop” days where the entirety of the class was spent doing peer revisions. I was always skeptical about peer revisions because there would be situations where a classmate would revise my paper and just underline random things that had no importance. So, I then internalized that my paper had little to no flaws, which was not the case. However, there were also instances where peer revisions gave me another perception of my paper and allowed me to make numerous adjustments. When a student would identify my thesis, supporting details and the purpose of my paper it allowed me to check off the criteria and confirm that I had the correct components. I struggle with grammar, so it is always helpful when a student could revise the grammar aspect. Overall, I do gain knowledge from the peer revision process because it allows me to know if I addressed the audience correctly and followed the rubric. But there are still instances where it isn’t helpful when a student doesn’t thoroughly try and edit my paper.
