I like how this reading goes along with what we are currently working on in class. The author does an effective job of showing her experience of going about turning in what the teacher wants and realizing what is actually beneficial. She stated, “Reflection helps you to develop your in- tentions (purpose), figure out yourContinue reading “Reflective Writing and the Revision Process”

After reading through the sample collages, I was able to pick up a better understanding of the assignment. I am nervous about how I am going to go about my project. I am the type of person who does well with executing specific instructions, rather than starting from scratch with my own ideas because IContinue reading “Sample Collages”

I chose to read about the recent scandal going on in the MLB. The Astro’s, a Major League Baseball team from Houston, have been caught for cheating their way to success on the offensive side of the game. The team was able to inform the batter which pitches were being thrown to them, while theyContinue reading “Almost Got Away With It”

“Annoying Ways People Use Sources” by Kyle D. Stedman caught my attention from the beginning. I always seem to comprehend ideas or concepts more clearly when there are examples to show what the author really means. He started out by comparing how slow driving can be like sloppy writing, which is what initially made meContinue reading “How to Annoy Readers”

My mind has kind of been going in circles trying to really understand, “The School”. I hope I’m not missing something, because I am a little confused, lol. Beth did inform me that the reading was going to be a tad strange, so I’m not too worried… The author displayed a series of unfortunate eventsContinue reading “Hmm…”

I have still not come across a reading that I did not read in total annoyance and irritation in this course, and I have always HATED reading anything. I found this reading interesting because of the way theContinue reading ““Revising Attitudes””

This article was overall really helpful from beginning to end! I liked how the author brought to attention that when you are peer editing, it is not your job to write, but it is your job to read! He mentioned a lot of useful tips to edit your peer’s work in a way that willContinue reading “Responding to Peers”

After reading “Mother Tongue” and “Just Walk On By,” I genuinely feel irritated. Readings like these are 10000% necessary for this confusing world we live in. As a person of color myself, it is just so crazy how the people around you can so easily make you feel like a TOTAL outsider. I don’t understandContinue reading “People Suck”

Throughout “Backpacks and Briefcases”, I was able to relate to many things. The beginning was really interesting and made me interested to see what else the article was going to talk about. For once in my life, I am starting to understand the definitions differences of ethos, pathos, and logos because of this reading andContinue reading “Backpacks vs. Briefcases”
