annoying ways -Gaby Boudani

By -
I found this article extremely helpful in directing me towards how to properly cite quotes and information. I learned that you cannot just put a quote into you paper without introducing it, then analyzing it. I like how the article used students examples to show how to correctly quote information. It is necessary not to quote too much, especially not one quote directly after another. There needs to be analysis to create a flow and make the essay your own. I get how people would get annoyed after repeated mistakes because I have been reading papers in the past and wondered how the person could just throw a quote out of no where. I think this article will be very helpful when writing my research paper. I have to make sure the information I put in doesn't over power my personal opinion.

    I agree with you that there needs to be an analysis after every quote. If the writer does not include the analysis, it leaves the audience confusion on why the quote was placed there to begin with.

    I agree with the point that the essay taught me to not just throw a quote anywhere but to lead off with some information about the quote first.

All throughout school, we were taught that a genre was used to describe a novel such as nonfiction, fiction, fantasy, science fiction, etc. I never really thought of a piece of writing having a genre but now, after reading Dirk's piece, I now realize that writing does have a genre. Dirk also points out that genres are used to help people accomplish a goal. I never thought a genre could do that. I always thought it was used to just categorize novels or short stories but, now that I have read this piece, I now realize that genres are important because, if you write in the wrong genre, the message that you want to portray can come across completely differently then you had intended. The example that Dirk used of George Washington and his State of the Union Address. By using this genre, Washington...

Project 2 Reflection

By -
1)      In this essay I am most proud of the new way in which I learned to write a research paper. I was able to incorporate new writing skills into my paper that I never learned in my high school classes but will aid me in my future writing. 2)      If I had more time to work on this essay I would try to include more specific details to support my topic from a wider range of sources and provide more reasoning to support the legalization of physician assisted suicide. 3)      Peer reviews benefitted my essay the most. This is because it provided me with a lot of constructive feedback that I was able to take into consideration while editing my paper. The teacher review also helped me inn a similar way because it gave me some direction with where to go with my essay. 4)      While writing this project I was able to learn a different way of writing a research paper in which I have previously done in high...
