GA Reflection

1. What did you know about genres before this assignment and what impact do you think studying genres may have on your writing?

i honestly didn’t know a lot about genre before this assignment. In my RWS 1301 class, we touched a little on this subject but it was mainly genres like movies, letters, research papers, etc. I honestly did not know that all of these were all grouped into different categories. I believe that studying genres may have an impact not only on my writing but on everyone else’s. I think this is because we learned how to further analyze our sources and how to better use them. Before this assignment, I would just get direct quotes off of my sources but now I think that I can come up with my own conclusion about my sources.

2. What are the complexities of using genres?

I learned that when you use different genres in an assignment, it can be very complex. This is because you might interpret something in the source in a completely different way than someone else. Also, the genres might be very similar so it is hard to show the differences between them. It is also hard to use genres because one has to come up with their own ideas based on what the genre is telling us. Also, if you use two or more completely different genres, it might become hard to chose and stick to a certain writing style.

3. What is the value of studying and/or writing about genres?

Writing and studying about genres is very important because they are what make writing papers possible. Every source that we use in an assignment has it own genre. There is a value in studying these because it is what makes our writing possible. I once saw a connection that was made between writing and music. The notes, harmonies, rhythms, sonatas, etc in a piece is what makes up a beautiful piece of music. Same goes for writing because one of the most important parts in writing is  the genre that one is using.

4.Select one of the questions listed and explain the rhetorical choices you made towards answering the question.

dFor the second question, I chose an image about colors where the color of the letters does not match the word. The purpose of this image is for the person to say the color of the letters and not the word. It is hard because one sees a color but our minds read the word instead. The reason that I chose this image is because this is how I felt when analyzing genres. I thought that I knew something about it and once I actually went deeper into it, it was something different. This assignment looked easy on the outside but once I was actually doing it, it was harder than expected.

Literature Review Refelction

Reading and having to analyze all of these papers showed me a lot. I learned that this is a very controversial topic and that everyone has their own opinion on it. I decided to do only peer-reviewed articles because those are the ones that are most correctly written and have more facts. There were some that were in agreement with my opinion on body shaming, the media, and eating disorders. However, there were others whose opinion was the total opposite. I think that it is really interesting how people can be looking at the same problem but have complete opposite opinions on it. I agree with both sides but i also disagree. I learned a lot from this assignment but most importantly, I learned that we have to keep an open mind when it comes to such controversial topics.
