Responding to Peers and Considering Rhetorical Situations

     In my literacy narrative i was writing a story with vivid detail on my process of literacy. In my ad analysis essay i am going to break down the ad detail by detail and analyze it to see what it is trying to tell me. Like my narrative essay my analysis essay will have a purpose as in why i am writting this and where is my stance on the issue. In my narrative essay my audience were my teacher, peers, and people who can relate to my essay it was very general, unlike my ad analysis essay it will probaly only target a certain type of audience. In my narrative essay my genre was written like a story and in my ad analysis it will probaly be more breaking down ideas and explaning. in my narrative essay my tone was changing depending on the situation i was, unlike my ad analysis will probaly have to have a tone as if i am arguing and explaining what the ad is about and what it's purpose is.

Analyzing an Advertisement

   Purpose: By showing showing 2 legs and one of them being a prosthetic leg and showing "Don't Drink and Drive" in big capitalize letters this ad shows a purpose to prevent drivers from "Drink and Drive". It argues that when car accidents happen because of drinking and driving it can lead to people being left without limbs and have to use prosthetics which are not as original as those for cars.
  Audience: By showing only legs and not showing the age, or sex of the individual this ad is meant for everyone who is a driver. it is showing that it doesn't matter who you are, and that if u drink and drive you can end up in the same situation as the individual in the ad.
  Genre: like many ads of drinking and driving this ad shows what tragedy can happen if you drink and drive. Drinking and driving can end up in you getting a ticket, going to the hospital, or even death.
  Tone: by the use of artificial limb and the white background it all creates a tone of being sad such as being in the hospital.

Thinking Critically about revisions

    There many ways my final paper looks different from my rough draft.  First by just looking at it i can tell that my final paper is a little bit longer. Some paragraphs i made longer to explain in more detail what i was talking about. In my rough draft i was just writing my ideas down and putting them together because i just wanted to finish my paper. In my rough draft i can see that i wasn't so sure how i wanted to present my information i just wanted to get something down on paper to see where i could make some changes. For my punctuations i can see that i didn't really changed a lot because it was the least of my issues that i wanted to work on. I can also see that i didn't change my title which i probably should have, but i am horrible with putting titles on my papers so i left it the same. 
     I made major revisions toward my paragraphs i changed my conclusion a lot i tried to ends my paper without trying to lecture my reader, but i might have done that unintentionally. i also fix some grammar mistakes on my introduction but overall i found it to be good. i also tried to add some more information to my other paragraphs. i also kind of tried to change my wording on my paragraphs to give them a sort of flow when reading. i tried to make them closely related so readers can know what i am talking about.
     After revising my pattern the error i tend to see was that i tend to make grammar mistakes and don't use a lot of complex sentences. i don't always put comma after fanboys and sometimes i make comma splices. I also notice that my organization isn't always the best.  I tend to jump all over the place and don't organize my paper.
       I made the revisions i made because of peer review. i know that peer reviews are to make me a stronger writer.  i know that my peer reviewer made some good points on my faults on my paper. he helped me make my paper stronger and  even gave me good input.
     i think that the strongest aspect on my paper were the introduction and my conclusion. i think it really grabbed readers attention and could relate. my weakest aspect was my punctuations and my organization.
                                            

"Good" Papers

     organizing your paper-  first thing that makes a good paper is how you organize your paper. I believe the difference between an A to a C paper is how you organize your ideas. A good paper must have good organization of ideas and have a good flow when a person reads your paper. If your ideas are all over the place a reader might not be able to understand what the paper is about. You want to be as clear as you can be and get your point across your audience. A good organization of paragraphs will keep the reader interested in what you are writing.
      second thing i believe is the difference between an A paper and a C paper is  grammar mistakes and sentence structure. A C paper might have some grammar mistakes and a few good sentence structures. An A paper will have good sentence structures using conjunction words such as FANBOYS and even transition words. An A paper will also have a few grammar mistakes that we all make such as there and their. This is important because a reader will be able to understand better what you are writing.
       third thing i believe is the difference between an A paper and a C paper is a good topic. A writer needs a good topic to write about because they need to be able to get good points and plenty of them to not repeat them over. An average paper may have some points,and then are repeated just in a different way. A good paper will have different points and plenty to talk about to keep the reader interested.

For me writing with good sentence structures and not having a lot of grammar mistakes is difficult for me. i cant really write good complex sentences unsing conjunctions. i also make quite a few grammar mistakes that are silly. i am horrible at making complex sentences that involve using conjunctions such as therefore, meanwhile, whenever, although and ect... i also make mistakes with words such their, there, quiet, quite, ect... sometimes i feel silly for letting this kinds of little mistakes get pass me.

Generating ideas

      I dont know many ideas of narrative writtings i can write about.  I am personally horrible at thinking about narrative writings i can write about. one idea for a narritive essay i can write about about is horrible experience. i believe i can describe a bad experience that has happen to me. this is  a good narrivite writting because it involves recalling a memory. it is also a good narrative because its for a general type of audience. everyone can relate to a bad experience that has happen to them.
       another good narrative that i can write about is the struggle of learning a new language. First coming to the U.S i could only speak spanish and hard a struggle learning english fluently. This is a good narritive because a lot of people have struggles trying to learn a new language and can relate to this topic. this topic can provide descriptive ideas on my struggles, but also on how i found ways to coped with them.
         another narrative writing i can write about is moving to a new country and acdapting to the culture and the different ways they do things. for example when i first moved here i had to adapt to the different type of education they had here in the US and also adapt to their culture here. i think this is a good narritive because i can tell detail by detail my struggles to adapt. its a experience i can tell and maybe people can relate.

Why I am taking english 101

There are many reasons why i am taking the 101 writing class. The first reason is because it is a require class that i need to take that been said i also want to improve my writing since i know my writing isn't the best out there, and there is always room for improvement. I constantly make spelling errors and sometimes have a hard time writing my ideas on paper the way i want to express them. I believe that writing 101 is a require class because wherever one ends up getting a job you must always have have some basic require  writing skills that will help you succeed. I am also taking writing 101 because writing is a way to express yourself and i have always felt that i haven't always done that. After i am done with this class i hope to be able to write well enough for people to be able to understand what i am trying to say. In a way i also believe that this writing class will help me with my speaking skills. i might be able to communicate better with other people. As a student with an undecided major this writing class my provide me with some kind of a idea on what i might want to do. for example if my writing improves and i know that i enjoy writing, i might chose a major that involves a lot of writing. By the end of this class i hope to improve my spelling, my sentence structures, and the way i arrange my ideas. I also hope to make writing a skill i have master like riding a bike and not finding it so difficult.
