What I think bout da RA process

So I thought the RA was way easy! It definitely was not the most fun paper ever, but it was easy. I liked analyzing another person's work! The process was good because it was a process and we discussed it as we went along!

Hope y'all have a great weekend. Here's a laugh to get it started off right:)

Reviewin of da peers

So I honestly think peer reviewing is the most awkward things ever. Buuuuuut.....it totally does help a ton! I liked getting help from multiple people in the RA peer review, but I liked getting a much longer time with reviewing with the Oped. I think I would have liked the Oped peer reviews better if we had done it with like one more person. So if we did the Oped version, with just one more person, then I'd be a happy camper! Compromise is always the best:)

And now for a funny picture. I cracked up when I saw this!

Sweet Summertime:)

SUMMER!!!!!! I can't wait for it! Oh how I yearn for warm weather, shorts, and flip flops! I'm tired of this whole cold weather dealio. I want the sunshine on my face and the 87 percent humidity baby! Lake trips, beach trips, daily pool trips are calling my name! No more little Miss Pale Michelle; get ready for a tan one! Just thinking about summer makes me feel all warm inside. And I LOVE it! So basically I'm pumped for summer. So here are some beachy songs to make you feel like you're on the beach with a cold drink in your hand just wasting away:)

Da Figures In My Language

The blog that I'm writing about uses the rhetorical question "It may seem awkward to walk up to a soldier and shake their hand, but don't you think it's the least you can do?" to call people into action and feel bad for not taking the initiative to thank soldiers for their services.


Another tool the writer uses is imagery; "An old man, aged by experience and time, carefully removes a crisp blue suit from its faded garment bag. Despite their long years together, this suit appears new, cherished and protected, saved for special occasions." The description of these actions put the reader in the veterans shoes. 




Oh, and you've all probably seen this video before, but it still cracks me up. So watch it. And enjoy it. Kay?

Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra.....RA thesis

"No Unwounded Soldier" is an affective argument to convince the American people to revere soldiers because it uses experiences and an appeal to feelings of graditude to expose a feeling of unappreciativeness towards soldiers.

I really liked this video!

Reflection of da OpEd.

So I personally think the opinion editorial wasn't bad at all! I liked how we took things step by step! It made writing it so much easier and less stressful!

I think the hardest part was writing the rough draft. Actually having to make myself sit down and pound it out put the rough into rough draft. I might have been one of those people who waited till about 11 at night before starting the thing....but once I sat down and did it, I just kept on writing till it was done!

I liked how much revisement we went through; the meetings with Chris, peer editing, and the writing center peeps. The meeting with Chris was most helpful because he is the one grading it, so it's nice to know what he is looking for! The peer editing was awkward, but helpful also. The writing center was not half as bad as I thought it would be. I thought it would be super awkward and that they would totally change my paper. But it wasn't either of those! They just gave me a few ideas of how to improve it and when I went and did those things, my paper was so my better!

I think going through the steps of the writing process helped me learn that writing a paper right before it is due is not the answer. My paper got better each time I looked and it and whenever someone else took a peek at it. I think that from now on I will make an effort to start papers before the night of!
