Course Reflection

This semester flew right by and after all the assignments, projects, papers, and Tumblr posts that we all wrote I just want to do a happy dance. Walking into this class I thought we would have to do boring readings, long essays, and hard projects. I am not saying it was easy but I am saying that it was helpful, I walked out of that class knowing I did not just learn something I will never use again, I learned A LOT of strategies that I will continue to use for other classes, my future business, and even just for fun. The assigned readings throughout the semester were not hard or boring they were helpful and contributed to my writing process for each different assignment. 

Some of the main ideas we read about are Formats and Modalities, Summary, Forming arguments, posing meaningful questions. For the most part I really do remember what I learned and was able to take away from those readings. I learned that summaries are more than just 4 to 5 sentence paragraphs and without realizing it we summarize our days when we talk to people and summarize other things but in writing there is more to it. I learned that in writing an argumentative essay you do not always need to win but sometimes you need to leave room for people to argue back and also be open minded toward others point of view. These things are meaningful to me and I will take that with me to other classes I will take in my university career. 

In having different types of assignments most of them all had to do with developing an argument and supporting that argument with good evidence. Each reading was able to answer any questions I might have had before starting the assignments and after those readings were always good to look back at just to make things better. My least favorite readings were those types that I had to read over and over to understand. One was an article by Yancey and the only reason I did not like it is because it was intended for a different audience. That made it harder for me to follow what she was explaining but in the end once I understood I did realize that her article helped elaborate on chapter 10 and afterwards I was able to better comprehend the importance of arguments and the components used to structure an argument. I think just because I did struggle with the Lit Review I feel that more should be given to help students better understand what is wanted out of the assignment. I don't think that there needs to be revisions on the readings but maybe just providing more examples and other readings to support the chapters will maybe help a student who might struggle like I did. 

I would recommend this class to anyone and I do have to say it was one of the only classes I really learned from. I am taking a handful of techniques and writing strategies with me after this semester, and for that I feel accomplished.

A.V.A Reflection

This was the assignment I had the most fun with. Funny right? who would have ever thought I would consider a writing assignment fun? Not me. To be honest who would ever find homework or a project to be fun or fulfilling? Well, after getting feedback and seeing that this project came out just how I imagined made it all worth the work. I usually do not like working in partners but this changed my perspective and like I said before our assignments would feed off the last so it is probably why I found this project to be the easiest of the whole semester. Before this assignment I did not know what it was called but I did realize that advocacy is everywhere, such as commercials, advertisements, youtube videos, and so on. Since this was the most recent assignment I do know that I accomplished the full purpose of this assignment along with my partner. I do have to take another communications class and I will put what I have learned with this assignment into that class. In the website I created I did practice the use of literary devices, since my topic was Cyberbullying it was fairly easy to add in emotion, and along with it logos and pathos came into play easily as well. The process I took to complete this assignment made it flow and come together perfectly. Aside from one area in the Op-Ed I know that I did meet all criteria in this assignment.

The only way I could have altered my writing to make it better would have been to edit the Op-Ed and add in citations. By doing so the assignment would have been a Hundred. Since this assignment was done by using my partners Lit Review it helped so much. All the things we used to contribute to our website came from the references in his Lit Review. All the information we needed came from that and therefore also came from the chapters in the book. The other chapters of Framing Arguments and Construction Arguments also helped in the process. I learned that an argument is always made to win. You do not have to win or lose sometimes it is just about stating something to make a point. In this case we were making the point that more people need to talk about how serious cyberbullying can become and how teens may turn to suicidal thoughts or actions if they are not told that they have a support group behind them. Sometimes just advocating for a specific purpose helps many others in those situations.

L.R. Reflection

Thinking back to this assignment this is how I truly feel about it. I really never knew there could be so many different components to putting together a paper. So many different ways to make it better, to elaborate on your argument or purpose for the paper. This was the hardest assignment for me throughout the whole semester. I of course had no idea what a literature review was and by the name it sounded like it was a summary of literature pieces to contribute to an argument. So yes it technically is just that but the best way I can put it is “summaries on steroids” or something cuz this was really tough to meet the criteria of the grading rubric. I know that all the work and time I put into this assignment was not enough. All I trade and the way I attempted to answer my Lit Review questions in my paper just didn't come out the way I wanted. I’m still not sure how I could make this specific paper any better. I learned so much about this assignment but I have to say I probably just was not as into the topic I went with. In the future I'm sure I will have more assignments similar to this one and I do know now that I need to site my source and give credit where its due as well as be clear on the point I'm trying to make. I want to own a business someday and since my Literature Review was on that topic I will go on to use this to write paper for my own use. So I am hoping that now since we are done with the semester hopefully when I have a similar assignment I will know what to do the second time around. I know now that I just was not as organized in the order that I put this paper together. It definitely obstructed my paper and the direction that I wanted to take. Overall I just needed to have a better review in the writing center. I know that if I could have spent more time in there I would have walked out with a nicely revised rough draft to help me meet the criteria for the assignment. I do have to say that I thought I picked up a good understanding from the readings on Posing Meaningful questions and thats why my questions turned out fine within the first try. So that chapter really did help me. When Ms. Villa said this would be the hardest assignment of the semester she wasn't kidding and I am so glad it was the only difficult assignment.

GA Reflection

To be completely honest I had no idea that just like movies and music, writing also has different types of Genres. The prompt for the assignment was the first way thing that taught me. “Genres are categories that influence the format in which information is presented”. Just as we grow and adapt to different things the genres also evolve and change through time because of the way our communication changes. There are three types of genres: Typographic, Oral, and Iconographic. Based off the prompt and explanation of the assignment I did not think I would full understand. After going forth in the semester each assignment was feeding off the last and this helped me grasp a better understanding. I did miss a part of the assignment which was not elaborating on logos. The use of my supporting evidence should have also been more clear but looking back at the assignment I know how I could have mad it better. I learned through this that an academic paper should have all supporting evidence you can use to answer questions that might arise in your audience and to persuade them as well. Moving forward I will be sure to use all literary devices Logos, Ethos, and Pathos to make for a stronger paper. I feel that based on the rubric I was graded fairly and I was truly missing certain things here and there. I do have to say overall without the readings and rough draft I would have probably got a bad grade but thanks to that help I got a good grade after all. 

Supporting evidence is everything, and in the Genre Analysis the information that was provided should have been presented correctly.

Tumblr Refection Wk 14

We are almost done! Time flies and after looking back on my very first tumblr post… You know back when I didn’t want to use it and I really didn’t know how. I’ve realized I will be walking away from this course with so much knowledge, not only in writing and technology but the way I talk and with a few more words added to my vocabulary. At the beginning my knowledge of writing and rhetoric was only that you use your style and way of writing to pursued the reader. Now I have a full understanding that writing and rhetoric is far more than that. It is to persuade your audience with the use of styles, genres, multi-modalities, and research. I also learned as technology continues to grow and change a writer should adapt to it and use it within their writing.

This gif is all of us class. How come we all thought we wouldn’t like to post on tumblr if most of us never even tried? Well now we know and look at our posts now! Using gifts and blogging about our readings gave me a better understanding of all of them especially when reading classmates responses. Post after post I learned that multi modality not only grabs a persons attention but it can help in adding to your post with ethos, logos, and pathos as well as adding to help persuade you reader with your arguments. My thoughts on Writing and Rhetoric changed drastically. I never used the words rhetoric or multimodal before this class and I never really thought of a summary in any other way than just a short paragraph lol.

Using tumblr definitely added something to the way I learned throughout the semester. Tumblr posts were far more interesting and better to use than blackboard. 1.) https://chefrae.tumblr.com/post/156692232791/response-w3 This is my week 3 reading response and although it was one of the earlier ones I still feel it was one of the best because I got the hang of tumblr early on. Earlier than I thought at least. I effectively summarized the chapter and I feel the first gif was a great one to use because it shows how people overthink things. 2.) https://chefrae.tumblr.com/post/157294510426/reading-response-week-5 Week 5 was a good post because of how I tied the reading into my major fairly well. Posing meaningful question is important not just for my future career but also in daily life you question everything that goes on. 3.) https://chefrae.tumblr.com/post/159769991871/reading-response-week-13 The last reading response is my personal favorite because the set of questions were different and so it was a completely different post than the rest of them. The questions helped me gain better knowledge of what had to be done in the AVA project. I feel it’s a good post because I summarized well and elaborated on what the reading was telling us.

Reading Response Week 13

This weeks reading was on Developing Multimodal Academic Literacies among college freshmen by Gloria E. Jacobs. She discusses how a study was done on how to use multimodal texts and how it can contribute to the development of college freshmen and their writing skills. This was a course designed to bring together students cultural interests with school requirements. So she basically found a way to integrate technology, writing, and a students everyday interests within the course to gather evidence. She makes a claim that in doing so it would be an effective way of teaching and supporting her students.

I chose this gif because I feel her study was successful and she did really well in developing this course. She goes on to discuss “Literacies and Justice” which is a content course which included a group project. In this she gave the students the freedom to use whatever types of technology they wished to use. This took place as stated in a “freshman learning community at a private liberal arts college in Western New York State.” Through the courses she had students do not only projects but also summaries, and analysis. As she says, “The primary difference between the multimodal text and a traditional text was in how the use of multiple modes enriched the content the students were working to share.” Overall the use of multi-modalities, play (where the students could experiment with their surroundings to problem solve), collecting data, demonstrating their topics, and so forth all came to show that it helps a student construct a better academic argument.

This article gave me a better understanding of other things I can add into my AVA Project. It ties into my Business degree because since I want to own a restaurant these things can help me with better marketing, better blogs if I were to create a blog about my recipes I use in my restaurant. It is a very exciting thing to imagine and it did make me want to write, especially where the students were using "turntablism" which is the art of using vinyl records to create beats by mixing audio from different sources! That's very creative and I hope to continue to learn things like this article showed throughout my college experience!

AVA PROGRESS

Samantha & Alan The Dangers of Cyber-Bullying turned into a long list of things. As of right now we have Alan's Lit Review to work with as well as other research that I have done on the subject. We are working on a flyer to accompany our Research Poster but we also feel that a website would get more information across. So far that is the only obstacle, is the decision to go with the Research Poster for sure or to switch over to a website. We are just trying to organize our thoughts the best way possible to execute the solution to cyber bullying. We want to make great points in how kids should react to cyber bullying and the effects it poses on children in the long run. Our question to the class is, based on the topic of Cyber Bullying do you feel like a Research Poster would be good enough to get the most important information down? Or Should we make a complete website with all types of information & which would you feel would be the most interesting?

W12 Reading Response

Formats and modalities that writers use to convey arguments and have a deep impact on how their arguments are shaped because the argument helps communicate and connect with the intended audience. Based on the writer’s purpose and argument that the writer is going to present, there are several strategies that need to be used to effectively in order to construct the visual or verbal argument, such as its design and its construction by taking into consideration the writing occasion and the argument itself. Formats and modalities that writers use are crucial to conveying arguments and its impact based on how the argument is shaped, the design and format of each argument are different but the writer has to include skills and approaches to design with several modalities and formats that contribute to the writers’ argument.

Yancey’s article supplements and enhances the content from chapter 10 by contributing similar perspectives on modalities and formats that are need when designing arguments.Chapter 10 focuses mainly on how writers choose and integrate evidence to support an argument. This chapter also focuses on the importance of an argument’s reasoning, significance, structure and also its design and how it will impact the arguments effect to the intended audience. The use of rhetoric in this chapter creates how these two strategies the design and format are important to an effective design of verbal and visual argument. As well as, the chapter describes how formats and modalities are to be used within and argument, which will make it more effective to the audience. The chapter includes several strategies used to convey an argument, several of us don’t realize these strategies until there is an argument to be made. According to Yancey, the relationship between literacy and rhetoric as, ”a rhetorical situation, a purpose, a potentially worldwide audience, a choice of technology and medium—and they write”. Yancey describes how literacy and rhetoric are modes that mary together and in different occasions rhetoric is shown. Both the article and the chapter provide strategies that can be used to effectively design an argument when using formats and modalities within different occasions.

Some changes I found in my perception of literacy were, that it is crucial to know how you are going to shape an argument and the two important strategies when designing an argument which is formats and modalities. These two literature strategies will help a writer design and format an argument successfully. My perception of literacy changed because I was unaware the amount of work that gets put in order to form an argument there are several important components that are needed in order for an argument’s significance, the structure of the argument but also its design to effectively communicate and connect with the intended audience. 

Yancey’s article and Chapter 10 impact my understanding of multiliteracies’ /literacy by, providing the strategies that are used to compose an argument as well as literature is made up of several components but they all come together when constructing an argument effectively. Both Yance’s article and chapter 10 from Writing in Transit, not only showed me the strategies that are used in everyday basis but also how I can contribute them to the AVA project my group and I are working on. By reading the article and the chapter, I learned that there are several strategies that can be used effectively and I understand how to use them such as a visual argument, an academic poster,  I will be using this for the AVA Project soon, I will also imply the use of graphics, which will help construct the argument that we will be presenting to the audience (medical students).

The gifs I provided show how verbal arguments wouldn’t be effective if they lacked in formats and modalities which would be very boring and uninteresting, as well as showing how visual arguments would be without this important literature key. I also provided the second gif because Yancey’s article and chapter 10 from Writing in Transit mary together and how they enhance each other's perception of designing verbal and visual arguments as well as focusing on how writers choose and assemble to imply evidence to support an argument. The last gif I provided was to show how my perception changed and opened up to the knowledge I gained when reading this week’s article and the chapter from Writing in Transit, and how it will help me with the AVA project.

[senamorado65-blog]

Hey! Your post kind of reminds me of myself because before we started doing these readings I thought an argument was as simple as just trying to win. But through these readings i have learned that it is much more than that. I also liked your explanation of the second GIF.

[chefrae-blog1]

I am pretty blown away by your reading response. It was so informative and detailed that someone could read this without even having to read the chapter or Yancey's article. Bravo to that! You nailed it. I completely agree that after these past few readings we were all taught to keep an open mind during an argument. I think that goes for anything in life, we should always leave room for other points of view. We gain knowledge in doing so and could even use that to an advantage in a future argument.

Week 12 Reading Response

This weeks reading in chapter 10 focused on the formats and modalities when designing arguments. There are different kind of arguments such as visual arguments, its main purpose is to get their argument across but in a visual manner, kind of what we have started doing in class. Verbal arguments are arguments used with words like academic presentations and speeches. I think personally i prefer a visual argument rather than any other of the types just because i am a visual learner so i feel it would be the best way to get my argument across. 

The way formats and modalities writers use to convey arguments has an impact on how they argument is shaped by helping them strict the argument to focus on communication effectively with the audience to get their point across. If the argument is off topic or has nothing to do with what the argument is, it can loose the audiences attention and will not be effective at all.

The way Yanceys article ties into the reading is by having similar examples and points as chapter 10 does on modalities and formats. According to Yancy, the relationship between literacy and rhetoric is that he both will come together on different occasions to form one argument. My perception of literacy did not really change, however it did make me get a deeper, more firm understanding of how many ways it can be looked at and viewed.

This chapter ties in with my nursing major because when dealing with any person in any work environment, many people may have different points of views on certain subjects/things so to solve they problem this would be the professional way to handle it and hopefully solve their mis understandings. 

I think this chapter really helped me understand the structure of arguments and it will help with my AVA project by me knowing exactly how to put my argument together. 

The gif i used above is demonstrating a puzzle all coming together to form one cube. I thought it would be appropriate to use because it is like me putting my AVA project all together to form one, and also like an argument all coming together to have one strong argument.

[chefrae-blog1]

I love the gif you chose for this reading response. It definitely matches the way the chapter and Yancey pieced everything together for me. I also feel like based off this reading we all gained better understanding at how we should structure our AVA Project. As you said you prefer a visual argument I did like the example in chapter 10 on the photograph argument using Female Rugby players. Those pictures were powerful and created a strong visual argument all on their own.

I wanted to use this gif to show u another visual argument but this one is accompanied by text to send a stronger message. Overall you did a good job on your reading response and good luck with the project!

[chefrae-blog1]

Reading Response wk 12

Different formats and modalities a writer uses shapes the argument in many ways. If a writer chooses to go the scholarly route they would need to use research, and citations. Using this type of format would direct the argument toward a certain audience just like a public or popular scholarship. As for visual arguments the amount of visuals used can also shape the argument. If the writer has plenty of text and minimal visuals is it really a visual argument? Where visual components are placed also has impact on the message. Writers should consider the size, placement and amount of visuals used depending on the format they are using to help shape a better argument.

I chose this gif because it is how I do research. I like to read the same things over and over till I pull out the best supporting evidence for my arguments. Rhetoric and Literacy work hand in hand as explained by Yancey. They include visual literature, printed text, and social. Yancey’s explanation and chapter 10 cover the importance of arguments and the components used for the structure of the argument. She even explains her work “I designed a multi-genred and mediated text that would embody and illustrate the claims of the talk” she even goes on to explain what type of evidence she used such as verbal material and readings. Collecting material, organizing your thoughts and research will help to make for a better argument. Conveying your argument can be in essay form and even in person which is my personal favorite. Debates are always fun and sometimes you should keep an open mind to taking other arguments into consideration. This chapter and Yancey’s piece will help in persuading my audience in the AVA project because I will be able to use visuals to support my argument on protecting children from cyber bullying.

I also used this gif to remind myself to look back at the textbook and readings provided to us to help develop a better AVA Project.

[chefrae-blog1]

Reading response wk 11

This weeks reading is on chapters 8 & 9. We learned about Framing Arguments and constructing arguments through these two readings as well as the myths of an argument. In chapter 8 Framing Arguments discusses how an argument is the position a writer takes on a particular writing project. The evidence, the way the writer structures it, and the format all effect the side the writer is taking. Myth number 1 helped me learn a lot in framing an argument because as it states it is not always about winning but about having done enough research and providing enough evidence for your stance on the argument itself.

I chose this gif to show that a victory in writing an argumentative paper is not always about winning but having victory in the research and evidence you provide. Also at the end of the chapter is says that you should always be open minded in welcoming different perspectives even if the readers don't agree with the argument stand point you take. In chapter 9 constructing arguments it first discusses classical structure where you might be used to having your intro to the argument the story behind the argument and the main reasons supporting he argument, but there are other ways of constructing an argument. There is also the Toulmin argument structure u state your claim provide evidence the warrant section which is the most important. If I can learn to write with this structure every argumentative essay would be solid.

Ava topic proposal

This week we are working on the Advanced Visual Argument assignment. For my project I am leaning more toward a film or a research poster. In my Lit Review I was discussing business and how entrepreneurs use social media. I figured since I am on the topic of social media usage I developed a question that I could has for my Ava Topic. Cyber Bullying: Should Parents monitor their child’s social media usage to prevent cyber bullying? This does not have to do with business but it is a serious topic that poses many questions and personally my family members have fell victim to cyber bullying.

Cyber bullying is a problem because kids tend to have more guts behind a screen than they would in person and this causes them to tell other kids mean things. What they don't realize is not everyone can handle those hurtful words and they might hurt themselves or be effected by bullying the rest of their lives. One way to prevent this is by monitoring your child's technology usage. It's always good to make sure your child is safe and to have these discussions with them so they understand that sometimes people in this world can be cruel. I want to use this topic to discuss solutions to cyber bullying and how it can be handle and prevented.

Reading Response Wk 7

This weeks reading consisted of two chapters. Chapter 5 was on summary and chapter 6 was on synthesis. For the summary chapter it talked about some myths like how in college you don’t use summary which is truly a myth, and also we use summary in everyday life to tell a story or convince someone to watch a good movie without giving the whole thing away. Summarizing is putting a text in your own words in a short yet detailed matter. A summary should have the most important information and overall purpose of the text. In chapter 6 synthesis is basically combining two or more concepts with information from different sources. These are both going to come in handy with the next big assignment the Lit Review.

These both relate to my business major because in a business you need to summarize the most important information and crunch your numbers in math to make sure everything is running smoothly. The same will go with the Lit Review because these readings will help guide us to summarize and synthesize our sources in the best manner to get out information across to our readers. I chose the first gif because I needed more information on synthesis and I’m glad this chapter came along. I believe I’m getting a better understanding as to what will be required in the Lit Review.

This second gif just shows how I've been stressed out and overthinking everything about this next assignment and I hope as I can review these readings I will develop a good paper.

[chefrae-blog1]

Week 6 Reading

This weeks chapter was on reading and how to choose what to read. How academic writers read a bit of everything and how good writers create strategies to be a better reader. As for me I do enjoy to read, maybe not on a daily basis, and most certainly not an academic type of article or book but for my own pleasure. I like to read novels, love stories, crime and mystery, and also self motivation. I would say depending on the type of book I read I do have sort of a strategy. If what I’m reading is for academics I will break down the book, the title, the brief, and try to give myself a heads up. If it has a certain language and I don’t clearly understand the type of vocabulary I will pace myself a bit more than usual and try to understand better.

Sometimes I struggle and overthink what I'm reading, especially when reading things for this class. As for the videos that are being provided through the weeks I would say I'm a better visual learner and the Holy CRAAP video helped me understand better how to ask great research questions. Now the struggle will be how to word those questions correctly without creating an argument or asking those Google type of questions. Overall I am ready to learn more about asking good questions and becoming a better writer through the lit review assignment.

W5 Reading Response

Writing in Transit: Chapter 3 

This week’s reading focuses on explaining the importance of good and effective research questions. Not only must they be effective and significant for your research, but they should also be able to expand your knowledge even further on your discipline, and possibly encourage more research. 

Having the right questions for research is extremely important because in the end, it can influence the conclusion to your research. For example, accountants must ask the right questions, like what to do next after finding that a business is not doing so well, or where did the business go wrong, to be able to come up with an effective plan to help improve the business. 

This reading really helped me understand the importance of having good research questions to be able to write an effective paper, especially in the Lit Review assignment that’s coming up. Without good questions, the Lit Review would most likely not be informative or interesting enough. 

The first GIF that I used is to show that there are many questions that can be asked, but some will be more effective for the purpose of research in a specific discipline than others. The second GIF is relating the topic to my major. As I explained before, without asking the right questions, then an accountant won’t be able to come up with a plan to fix a problem within a business. 

Lit Review Topic Proposal 

The topic that I chose to focus on in week 1 was taxes. In my genre analysis I am focusing on whether it is possible to have equality in the tax system. For the Lit Review, I was thinking that I could extend a bit further on equality in the tax system by possibly writing about what kind of tax, either the fair tax or flat tax, would better benefit our country. Many economists and the general public believe that the U.S. has an unfair tax system. Therefore, some economists have suggested either the fair tax or flat tax to be implemented as our new tax system. I think that it this topic could maybe be interesting, especially if I could conduct interviews that give different views and opinions on the flat tax and fair tax. 

[chefrae-blog1]

You topic for the lit review definitely grabbed my attention. Since I have not done research on taxes it would be something I could benefit from reading. I am a business major and taxes is very important to learn about. Accounting is very important to business and how you can improve a business. I'm sure many people would be interested like me, to learn more about the research you do on the tax system.

Week 5- Reading Response

Week 5′s reading, “Poising Meaningful Questions”, talks about how important it is to develop questions while doing research. Coming up with good questions is a big factor on how well you get your information while doing research. Developing these questions will also make it easier to obtain and use the information you come up with in your research.

“Poising Meaningful Questions” connects to my major because as a Physical Therapist you have to work with your patient to get them to as normal as possible after an injury. So through out the process you ask them plenty of questions to see how they are progressing. Whether its a simple “How does it feel?” or test done on the certain injury you will always have to ask the patient something in order to move on. 

The reading gave me a better understanding on what meaningful questions can do to your paper. The Literature Review is our next assignment and seeing how it is a big part of our grade, I want to do very well on it. So, the reading gives me a way to make my paper easier and more effective. It helps me put structure into my paper, which is something I struggle with. 

The first GIF I used is of Waka Flocka adn questing people. While my second GIF is of Go Go Gadget thinking of something which is me thinking about my research questions.The last GIF is showing the impact of structure that this reading will have on my paper.

[chefrae-blog1]

I like the connection to your major, it is true you have to see what your patient is feeling and how you can guide them back to normal. It does relate and it goes to show that you need to develop good questions not only in writing but also in person when you are face to face with a patient that you are taking care of to show them that you care. I also have trouble with the structure of my paper as well. I like to organize my thoughts before writing. So yes ,earning fun questions will help get to a well structured paper.

[chefrae-blog1]

Reading Response Week 5

This weeks reading response is on Posing Meaningful Questions. It reminds the reader what our teachers have always told us… “there is no such thing as a dumb question”. In the Disciplinarity and Questions section it relates to my Business Major in the sense that as a business owner I will have to ask big questions. My questions would be things such as Is this a good location for my business? Is this menu item for my restaurant going to sell? And so on. This reading discusses how questions like this and research go hand in hand. Literature reviews give information about certain topics, so this chapter helped me understand how I will have to put together our next assignment without posing too many questions or arguments for the reader. It's based more on information to keep he reader up to date. It basically answers questions a reader might have about a specific topic.

This gif relates to how I feel when I think about all the questions I need to ask before opening a business. LITERATURE REVIEW -as for the lit review assignment it was hard to come up with a topic question. I am relating it to the genre analysis, and I will be focusing on the Financial aspects of small businesses. Such as a business being profitable or not, and the growth of a business. This second gif relates to how I feel about starting up a business, where will the money come from and how much will it cost altogether.
