Project 3

I've been thinking about my own draft for project 3 and I have to tell you that it was very emotional to write about. It brought back a lot of old memories I've tried to burry. It also helped me realize a lot so I'm glad we wrote this.
I keep thinking about my project 3, and I'm pretty sure my next [rhetorical] move will be the use of flashing back. This will help the reader put themselves in my place and see where I am coming from. The use of details will also help so the reader can see everything instead of coming to their own conclusions.

Home

What is home? Home is a place of comfort and love. Home is familiarity. A home doesn’t have to be a house, it’s a place you feel safe. A person can feel like home when you love them because home is where the heart is.  The first thing I thought of when I asked my self this question was you. 

Hypertext Quiz

The internet is very exposing. Millions of sites with the same topic can all be linked together and are easy to access. These Hypertext links bringing different sites together to be collaborate on an idea is the creators aiming for hypermediacy. A page on the internet can be viewed and commented on, which helps pass on ideas. This can be viewed as a good thing because the idea will always be available immediately, and the ability to comment and view other sites on the same subject help expand knowledge. The negative effect is having important works of writing not highly publicized and advertised since not everybody will view these sites. Another negative would be the ability for people on Facebook to be able to see everything written there. Something you write on Facebook can be viewed by everyone which is why colleges and businesses check peoples Facebooks for anything bad.

What role does performance or writing space play in the making of meaning?

In todays generation the spoken word has become much weaker than in previous generations. Todays generation needs the approval of their peers and they do so by speaking with uncertainty. Words such as "like" and phrases such as "you know?" have become common to hear in the spoken word. An interrogative tone is used to make sure whats being said will agree with our peers opinions and if it doesn't agree, it is easier to back down and change what was just said. 

Are You Afraid To Write?

I am not afraid to write. I feel like nothing can hurt me when I am writing. This may be because I am young, and like most young people, I feel fearless, like nothing could hurt me. Maybe this is a good thing. Instead of playing it safe, I take chances and try new things. Or maybe it just means I don't take writing as seriously as Jacque Deuida. This could be true, I mean, I never intent to be a writer, but maybe he takes wring too seriously. Maybe he should just let go and write, and not take wring too seriously. I believe if you take things too seriously, you won't be happy, and isn't that the purpose of life? To be happy? Never take anything too seriously, just life your life.

Chapter 1 Writing Assignment

In "When Writers Speak," Arthur Krystal confides: "I am smarter when I'm writing."(88) This is because, with practice, your writing can only improve. Every time a person writes, he learns new information, whether it be about himself, his writing, or the world around him. Great writers didn't get their work published by luck, they had to practice over and over again, and even fail many times before the eventually succeeded.

Arthur Krystal also confides that "There's something about writing, when we regard ourselves as writers, that affects how we think and inevitably, how we express ourselves." (89) This means that writing is a form of showing our feeling and opinions on certain matters. Writing is a form of expression. This includes keeping diaries, journals, and blogs to organize thoughts and feelings. Blogs are completely different than keeping a diary or a journal in which it is a digital form of expressing oneself. Blogs are a a lot less private, and anyone who finds your page can read it. This negatively impacts the expression. Others should not be reading your private thoughts. Putting your feeling on the internet is a cry for attention that people don't need. You may also write differently knowing your work will be read rather than writing exactly how you feel.
