Peer review #10

I think that peer review is a very important part for a paper because other people can help generate more ideas that can be added to a paper as well as the corrections. I think that the peer review that we do in class is useful because it helps us get to know our class mates and we can have the opinion and help of more than one person, the only down fall that I think we have is the amount of time given. For me I got to read a paper over at least twice just to make sure that I didn’t miss anything. As far as peer review my strengths is finding details and correcting grammar errors , my weakness is correcting punctuations because I’m not familiar with all the markings and they should be used. When I start my peer review I first read the paper over once just to know what I’m reading and after that I read it over a second time and highlight or circle any errors. I think working in smaller groups is better because you get the 1 on 1 with the person whose paper your reviewing and that way I can give them suggestions and ideas that may be useful on their part.

Choice in topic #9

As a senior in high school I was very anxious to graduate and go to college. Throughout my time in school the topic of college always came up with every teacher I had and the importance of it. I was always lectured the importance of going to college and the expectations that came with it. Honestly that wasn’t something that I paid attention to but seeing my sister who was a college student, she looked like she was having a lot of fun and really enjoying herself. She would always say that she love that she had the freedom of being able to choose her classes and at the times that she wanted which was very convenient  since we were both working.  So far being in college for a year I enjoy that I can set my own school schedule to my convenience and that the classes are short. The only thing that I didn’t like about college was the amount of the tuition, thank god for financial aid because its very helpful but then again in order to make money you have to spend it. In the end it all pays off because a collge degree opens many doors in life.

Argument Assignment #8

For this essay im choosing the article don’t presume to know a pigs mind. The argument that im choosing to analyze is the advertising strategy that was used in the article about animal abuse. In the beginning of the commercial it shows the pigs and their farmers happy but then as time went by and technology evolved  all the animals were then being processed through a new machine which made the process faster to have the meat. I think that this commercial opened they eyes of many companies by showing the effects. I think that many people do take these commercials very serious because they feel guilty for eating the meat of an animal that was killed in a inhumane process.

Update

This week flew by quickly, Working on the second paper has gotten me ready to continue with writing about different topics and how to better my paper. So far everything is good and looking forward the midterm and whatevers in store for us.

Reflect

looking back to my first blog post i  noticed that  i failed to use alot of grammatical punctuations and i wrote alot. As the blog posts went on i realized i was writng less but also being more specific in less words. So far i feel that i gained more knowledge as far as writing and it will only get better.

Compare and Contrast

Writing the analsys essay to me was very easy because im writing abouut a piece that i agree with and with that i can easily point out my view and how it corresponds to the topic. the lietracy narrative was hard to wright becuase i wasnt familar with thtat writng style but imm sure my analysis paper would be  better.

1.) The purpose of this ad is to show the affiliation of athletes with major shoe trade marks.
2.) This ad attracts the attention of young athletes who play the game and people interested into the sport.
3.) The Genre of this ad is just like any company has a very famous person marketing their product.
4.) The tone of this ad shows the intensity and dedication of the sport. I believe the tone was chosen to attract players to get the product to better themselves and someday accomlish their dream.
