Analyzing Different Genres From Primary And Secondary Researches

Throughout the course of the class, I learned many things to help me write a paper by using different

In all three projects the genres of the papers were different every time. For example, in project 1 the genre was an essay, in project 3 it was a user’s guide, and in project 3 you gave us the choice to a discourse community. In project 1 I did the best out of all three projects with regards to genre because you gave me an “A” grade for that specific portion of the requirements in the assignment. According to the handout you provided us with through Smartsite, “Academic Essay Structure,” I expanded my knowledge on the specific parts required for an essay genre: the introduction with a thesis statement, the body paragraphs that support the thesis, and the conclusion. Therefore, I made the proper choice in project 2 to include these components of a standard essay. Properly incorporating the elements for an essay genre into my project 1 gave me a grade of an “A” in the feedback regarding this section. Being able to incorporate the proper format of a genre into project 1 allowed me to choose my own genre choice in projects 2 and 3, where I showed improvement by fixing the mistakes I made after the first submission, along with project 1.

Translating one genre into another one requires creative thinking and forces writer to adapt to the needs of a new audience. In this assignment, I chose to translate an entertainment article into a scientific journal. Specifically, I wanted to change the genre of an article titled “Gavin Rossdale Cheated on Gwen Stefani With the Family Nanny for Years "Right Under" Her Nose: Details” turn it into a scientific journal. The scientific journal will then discusses women's reaction to cheating in relationship. I decided to do this since these two genres of writing seem to be a complete opposite. They are opposite in a sense that entertainment journalism tend to have subjective approach with storytelling format and informal word choices whereas scientific

Here I also stated if my paper had that convention and if they had any variation in a research paper regarding to Writing in the Health Sciences. This helped me write my paper because we were to describe each convention in our genre analysis so it gave me a start. It also helped me analyze the effectiveness of the genre which was step 4 in our paper. Here in step 4 I think was my most difficult part in the paper because after gaining your input on that you should not say “I believe” I understand why it sounds more confident. I will now write my ideas as such, but then when proofreading go back and delete it because it sounds better stating why x causes y.

Learning about the different type of writing styles and steps of writing was the most interesting. Descriptive essays are my favorite to read and write. If I was to write about a person, I would select a dominant impression of the person using details to convey that impression. I would also choose details to support the topic sentence. Descriptive essays help give readers vivid image in their mind. When I write descriptive essays, I use 4 steps ; I select a subject, Select details that support my

Apply research and use writing to develop a burgeoning understanding of the genres and formats common to various disciplines.

In Gordimers story “Once upon a time” uses the genre of a children’s story to articulate monsters in a suburban family by using the theme of a fairytale that clashes with the theme of a childrens story so he can use “monsters” in a suburban family. Gordimer uses phrases that kind of gives him the excuse to go in and articulate the monsters into the genre of a children’s story. Gordimer knew how to put everything in place to make it be called a “children’s story” Also, she the setting of the story in a good neighborhood, just people

For each assignment that we did my composing process was a little different. The process of composing the genre bending assignment began with my idea of a nutrition label. At first I decided that I wanted to do a parody on nutrition labels to comment on how unreliable and misleading some of them could be. Later that night I was watching the Presidential Debate and thought that it would be funnier to make a Donald Trump nutrition label. I used a templet of a real nutrition label and added in different qualities of Donald Trump. My composing process for the essay on photography differed greatly. I began by brainstorming my different connections to photography that related to something Sontag commented on. After I was finished I was inspired to write about

Some elements of writing (development, organization, style) fit task, purpose and/or audience; others are mismatched.

Many different genres were introduced to me that I had never experienced writing in. Genres like, arguing a position with sources, proposing a solution, analyzing a visual and justifying an evaluation. Not only were the genres new to me, but every assignment had a different type of audience with different point of views. In the assignment, “Analyzing a Visual” I was writing to an audience that consisted of parents. I never addressed the audience writing in first person just because I kept the tone of the paper in first person plural, which made every issue a “we” problem. This helped put the audience on my team, so they could see where I stand and we could address the issue together. As a result of each essay having a different genre and audience, there were different tasks each time I wrote a paper. Starting with “Arguing a Position with Sources”, I had to pick an article from The Concise St. Martin’s Guide To Writing and decide rather I agreed or disagreed with the author and their position on the topic, while also backing up my own positions with sources from the book. Where in my assignment, “Justifying an Evaluation”, the objective was to pick a non-profitable organization’s website and state if I had a negative or positive claim after making an entire evaluation of the quality of the site. As a result of all of this, I now have the skills to successfully write in a variety of genres and to diverse audiences, so

The musical film has always held a special place for me. From my time as a drama student in high school, my eyes have been opened to the amazing world of the musical and especially the musical film. The musical film is a film genre in which the characters sing songs that are integrated into the overall story. Since musicals first began in theaters, musical films usually contain similar elements. These elements often simulate that there is a live audience watching. In a sense, the film viewers become the audience members, at a theater production, as the actor performs directly to them. Due to the popularity of musicals in the theater, the style was quickly brought over into film. In 1927, the musical film genre began

No matter which type of job or career the author is looking for, a resume is a great first step. Generally, resumes are built and created in early adulthood by the author them self. There are a few things that can be assumed about the authors. First, they are middle to upper class individuals who like to show off their own personal qualifications, education, and academic and professional experiences they have obtained throughout their life. The audience in which will be looking over these resumes could be a pretty broad range generally speaking, but for the most part whoever the author is submitting the resume to will be the intended audience for this genre. I think it is safe to say this genre will be around for many years to come,

Before taking this course my writing styles and habits were very different. I was the typical procrastinator because I would wait until the night before a paper was due to start it. This did not allow me enough time to properly proofread everything, which resulted in getting points deducted for simple grammatical errors that could have been avoided if I would have had the time to proofread. My writing styles have many strengths and weaknesses and I have been able to improve my writing because of them. I have learned from my strengths and weaknesses how to become a better writer.

The genre that I selected is Television. The first artifacts that I chose is the show called “The 100.” This show is somewhat connects to my selected genre. The 100 is about when the nuclear Armageddon destroys civilization on Earth, the only survivors are those on the 12 international space stations in orbit at the time. Clarke is one of the main character in the show, her father died when he got floated to space.

Moreover, it’s crucial that I understand and make use of the particular conventions of each of these genres of writing. In my quest to reach those goals and be a more successful writer, I know I need to practice time-management, honing my writing skills, collaboration; in terms of the review and revision process, as well as focusing on the best strategies to properly convey the desired affect on the work’s audience.
