Week 3 Reading Response
The main themes and ideas of “Writing in Transit” of chapter 7 would vary among analysis. For example the explanation of what analysis is, the purpose of it, and different types of data that academic writers analyze. Analysis would be defined as the concept of examining and/or reviewing certain pieces of information in order to understand more deeply as to be able to make arguments and make knowledge.
Analyzing concepts would connect to my major, Criminal Justice, in a way that when being handed a case I would need to analyze the pieces of evidence that were left behind on a crime scene. For example, analyzing finger prints, blood patters, or other evidence.
Reading chapter 7 helped me understand that analysis is critical when it comes to Criminal Justice. In order to succeed at my job I need to be able to understand the data, or the case, and be able to make arguments of what it means, which means breaking it down in order to solve it.
The readings from chapter 7 helped me get a more clear understanding of analysis since I was not aware that there’s many different types of analysis, or different modes. This helped me understand the main assignment because when we examine anything, even genre, it is important to break it down into pieces in order to get a conclusion.
This reading prompt me to ask how different modes of analysis all work to achieve a same goal, yet differ when it comes to actually analyzing something.
Lastly, the gif I chose, would be the one below. I chose this gif because now I know there is more of analysis than I though. I learned the different modes of analysis all the way from rhetorical, to content; which makes me feel like him.
