Informal reflection
I chose to focus the majority of my revision on my zine instead of the rationale paper. I saw that there was no point in changing my rationale as it already explained most of the choices I made when I designed my zine. So instead of re-writing the original zine rationale, I just corrected the grammar and punctuation errors. On the other hand, I realized that my zine could be greatly enhanced with bigger pages. As mentioned in my zine rationale, I discussed about incorporating colors, more text and improving the quality of the text. Taking into account these two suggestive improvements, I had to re-illustrate everything that was on my original zine to new and bigger zine pages.
I had to redraw everything onto a bigger sheet of paper, because I was not able to figure out a method to enlarge the illustrations and text of my original zine to fit it onto a bigger sheet. Also drawing and writing everything over again allowed me to correct the dullness and faded appearance of the text. The drawing and writing process was extremely long (especially with more space), and I felt like I was designing another zine. Though it was tedious work, the zine came out looking exactly like the original, which was the challenge.
During the process of recreating my zine, I did not exclude anything that was on the original zine. I kept every detail the same because I felt like they were all good, and the feedback I received for my original zine did not mention anything in regards to omitting any detail. One thing that I did differently was that I ordered my zine chronologically from technologies near the future to technologies in the distant future. For example, unlike my original zine, the new zine first discuss about future androids because the technology is closer to being established or implemented compared to time traveling, which is introduced last as that kind of technology will not be possible anytime soon. I just thought that it would give my zine a better fill with some

    Sock Monkey Analysis

    My initial plan was to remove the advertisement-like tone that was flagged by a Wikipedia user. I assumed they thought that since most of the information was cited from the same book, that it therefor gave the impression that the book was being advertised. I also wanted to change the introduction because I didn’t think that a simple definition was enough. I viewed having only two sentences was too plain. I also wanted to add and reorganize information in the origins and Sock Monkeys Today section for a more informative and logical flow. One specific piece of information I wanted to add was Tony Millionaires comic book since it has its own Wikipedia page and I wanted to be able to hyperlink it to that page. I also intended to research different pieces of literature or movies sock monkeys make an appearance in. The third section of Wikipedia was the Sock Monkey Festival. When I first made my editing plan, I didn’t think the festival was important because there was not enough information that would indicate significance and there were also no citations. I also hoped to add a picture on the Wikipedia page even though there was already a picture on the…

    After adding a new example, I was focused on decreasing the size of my essay, erasing filler words and sentences. I also did this by simplifying and replacing sentences and phrases. The biggest change in my essay is the conclusion, which I had to completely rewrite so it summarized the essay better without making it overly complicated and…

    This article, “The RU-486 Abortion Pill Should Be Available to Women”, was written by Laura Fraser in 2001 for the Greenhaven Press. The issue involved with this article is whether or not the RU-486 abortion pill should be available to women in the U.S.. The conclusion Fraser came up with was yes, the RU-486 abortion pill should be available to women in the U.S., and for plenty of reasons. For example, if mifepristone becomes available, it will remove political and practical barriers so women can get abortions and physicians will not have to perform complete abortions. Also, 54% of all…

    The paper sounded as if a robot wrote it and, there was very little creativity or explanation of my thoughts. First, I changed one of my sources that would stronger support my claim, and it allowed me to cite the speaker. As a result, I was able to explain my thoughts better which would benefit any reader to understand my paper. Secondly, I used higher vocabulary words and more transitional words. This allowed my revised writing to seem more natural and have better flow. I have gained more high vocabulary words since the beginning of the school year that I am proud to use. Lastly, I added a concluding paragraph because I did not have once in my first writing. I recognized that my writing didn’t sound complete without summarizing all of the evidence to support my claim. In the end, I have gained more ways to deal with the process of writing such as revising, using transitional words, using high vocabulary, and including a concluding paragraph at the end of my…

    Not only have I learned to enjoy my own writing again, but I have grown as a writer in many ways. One of the main issues I needed to tackle in college was to stop being repetitive; I needed to learn to narrow down my thoughts and ideas. This is something that now I can do. I am able to sit down and revise my thesis and my ideas with structured outlines. Before this course I wrote very structured outlines with the standardized three body paragraphs with two to three supporting quotes in each one and a basic summary of each quote. The only part of the paragraph that would be mine would be the topic sentence, everything else was evidence I found from other authors. This year, I have learned to use my own voice to communicate my ideas. I have learned to utilize outside sources in a way where they simply keep the flow of my paper, and are not the main focus. I have also stopped “jumping around” throughout my papers. I now stick with one point…

    I went from trying to make it look really intellectual and complex to straight forward and simple. There is no point in trying to earn style points if I put it down for a few days just come back to a confusing paper that I can’t even understand. Being able to step back and say “No Josh, that’s just glorified nonsense”, and then delete or change it is something that I probably wouldn’t have done before and that makes me proud.…

    Of the topics that I could choose from, I chose to discuss how to reduce poverty in the United States. Poverty in the United States has been something that I have been personally hearing about since I was a child. It has always been a topic during every Presidential debate that I can remember. While growing up, I have always pondered ways of helping others that were less fortunate than myself. This had led me to believe whole-heartedly that the poverty rate can be reduced through several avenues.…

    One essay, the Hero Narrative, is from the beginning of the year while my other essay, the Fear Narrative is from the end. These essay’s show my improvement over the freshman year and from freshman year to now. An example sentence from the Fear Narrative is “All the pieces from the game had just jumped out at me from out of nowhere. It had scared me so much that I screamed like a crying baby.” The revision looks like “All the pieces from the game hurdled themselves at me which made me shriek at the top of my lungs because the game startled me so much.” Again, sentence now flows better and displays much…

    At first, I was a little scared taking this class since I have a stage fright and don’t have much experience talking in public. After my first speeches I started to get used to it. So in a way this class helped me overcome my fear of talking in public and I have become a little less nervous about it. This class helped me to start noticing the way I talk, move and sound during my presentations. This knowledge helped me improve myself for my later speeches. So when the turn for an Op Ed speech came I was surprisingly prepared for it and could use all my knowledge and experience in this class. This class also showed me a way how to find relative sources for the content of my speech.…
