What has happened to love? Now a days everything is so quick, so fast. People fall in and out of love like its nothing. I recently read the works of Petrarca, the poet who dedicated all of his work to the married women that he saw only once. He did not even speak to her, just saw here and was infatuated by her for the rest of his life. Where is that love? Does it even exist now a days?

Summary/Common Culture: Reading + Writing about American Popular Culture/Petracca + Sorapure

The introduction reading for the course is an analysis of reading and writing techniques used when examining and responding to various types of texts. Using three selected writings about Barbie, Petracca and Sorapure outline 4 steps that will allow readers to actively engage the work.

Preparing to Read

Reading and Annotating

Re-reading

Reviewing

Preparing to read involves gathering background information about the subject, author and time it was written. The process of annotation is used to call out various literary and argumentative techniques authors use to produce various effects or arguments.  Re-reading is beneficial in understanding the entire structure of the work, after analyzing specific parts one can see how they all fit together.  Reviewing a piece involves looking at the "why" of the piece, knowing what is being said and how it is being said why is the author doing what they are doing?

Writing is described as a process that starts generalized and unorganized and gradually gets more specific and structured. It involve

Prewriting

Free writing

Clustering (visualizing the structure of the argument through diagram)

Outlining

Drafting

Thesis

Opening paragraph

Support Paragraph

Evidence

Conclusion

Finalizing

Distancing

Revising

By writing in this way, breaking the process into stages where ideas become more refined and supported, the argument or idea being presented in your thesis will become better developed.
