Annoying Ways Response

By -
The essay did not surprise me because I have incorporates many of the ways to cite to sources that he includes in his essay into my own writing. I am used to knowing how to properly insert a quote into my text, and how to give background before including the quote. The writing would have a better flow if you give background before a quote so the audience will understand the context in which the quote is introduced. I find it interesting that some writers use to many quotes to try to make a point, but they don't provide analysis of the quote. I, however, am used to providing analysis for a quote, and not using as many quotes.

    I agree with you. I always include an analysis when I quote something. However, if I add background about where the quote came from it would give the audience a better understanding.

    I do am used to providing analysis with my quotes in order for the paper to flow and the audience to understand.

    I am similar to you in the sense that I always like to add a thorough analysis of the quotes that I incorporate from texts. I feel that it adds much more "meat" to my claim, in turn, making my writing sound more intellectual.

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...

Taylor   I really liked the video that Taylor made because it was a good visual representation for people who don’t like football. Personally, I like football, so I think it is necessary to have more research done for the players wellbeing. Sarah I really liked how Sarah chose such a relevant topic to today’s times. I really liked her journal entries because it showed how much a person is affected by others. No one should be judged based on their gender. Luke B I really like that he used a survey because it gave a semi accurate representation of the people here. I think it’s really funny that he chose the topic of makeup because most of the girls here always are done up. Kathryn The Spotify playlist was a very unique idea. I like that she included songs that help her study, or can be helpful for studying. Music does tend to affect a person mood, so it was an interesting genre alteration. Logan I really liked the twitter page that he made because it hit his ...
