      How much of his advice do you follow?

      I just feel like if the paper starts out bad, it's harder to fix it. I would rather think as if my paper was going to be graded so I can do good work. Then when I edit it, it can be even better.

      Here's a challenge--what does he mean by anaphora?
    • Maddie Lane
       
      Anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of a succession of sentences. This rhetorical technique is used to add emphasis. For example, the repetition of "I have a dream" in Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech.

      Does he need to prioritize some of this? Does he need formatting?

    He needs to reorganize his thoughts. It seems like a jumbled mess of words. His ideas seem logical for someone who is trying to brainstorm, but for college students who tend to be short on time, it works best to write a well written first draft and build off of that. Writing as fast as you can seems to lead people off on random tangents.

Campus-themed Internet memes go viral | Inside Higher Ed - 1 views

  •  
    Ok, this is mostly just for fun. It's also an article that's more of a rhetorical analysis (analyzing a recent trend for writer-audience issues) than a contextual analysis. To make it a contextual analysis, I think one would have to go more into memes generally, what they are and why they are significant.
  •  
    I personally like the memes. They offer quick humor and when in the context of a specific university, they are easy to relate to. They're usually pretty creative and the different variations can be used to convey different messages.

David Pogue's Review of the iPad - NYTimes.com - 4 views

  •  
    I think the iPad is perfect for browsing the internet, playing games, reading, watching movies, and any other leisurely purpose a normal computer would do. I do not think, however, that it is sufficient when working with work or school related things. The use of any Microsoft Office program on the iPad is very dysfunctional when trying to get things done.
  •  
    I personally believe the iPad to be more of a fun electronic toy. Using the iPad as a functioning tool for completing internet tasks or writing a paper seems like a difficult task considering the the keyboard you're given. I can only imagine that it would be similar to having to type on the iphone, which is hard enough as it is. There are plenty of other options that would function better in a work environment than the iPad. Also, the worst part about the apple products is that the flash player is not installed.
