Historical Conversations Project Analysis

Decent Essays
The Historical Conversations Project (HCP) is writing a review that helps to expose us and the peers to various topics, arguments, histories, and background knowledge that will enable us to engage with each other over the course of the quarter. This project is one of the biggest assigned papers that was allocated to us in a week three. The Historical Conversations Project was required to be 6-7 pages long where it also has to be a multi- modal composition. This project was one of the difficult project I ever saw because this project was very different from what I had done in my previous writing courses. Before, I had never done any multi-modal composition which even made it more challenging for me to do. This paper was very comprehensive. At

    This letter is being written to you, to let you know my thoughts about how much this class has enabled me to grow as a writer and student. As a writer I have many new acquired strengths. One of these newly acquired strengths is that I have the ability to write an essay that assess other author’s pieces of work. Before this class, I wrote very generic five paragraph essays that let the reader know, that the author of a certain piece of work was a good writer and captivated the audience. Now I am able to state the authors’ purpose and the rhetoric terms that he or she uses to get their purpose across to their audiences.…

    The concepts of genre, audience, and rhetorical situation are alike in their significance to the process of writing. They can be distinguished not only by their definitive meanings, but by a series of questions considered in the early stages of writing; what do I want to say, how do I want to say it, and who do I want to say it to? To these questions there are no clear-cut answers, empowering the writer to explore a variety of topics. It is important to understand that genre, audience, and rhetorical situation are not considered in a sequential order, nor are they exclusive to planning. In fact, the development of new ideas can occur in any stage of writing.…

    When I first started this course, I did not know much of the requirement and expectations of Writing 39C. I have gotten preludes from my previous writing courses: Academic English 20B-C and Writing 39A-B, that Writing 39C is a course on research writing and that it consists two main components. However, I did not know what was specifically included in the course and I was not familiar in writing a research based paper because the papers that I have written for other classes are analysis and critics. With a limited knowledge and little experience on the process of composing a research paper, I struggled through the first assignment, the first steps for the Historical Conversations Project (HCP). It was difficult for me to choose a topic because…

    Intro Today I have been challenged to write a blog answering the question that both text and context do exist in literature. WW1 was a bloodbath there's no doubt and such awful things happened to the most innocent of lives, during the times of war however it shone a light on the poets who wrote both anti and pro war poems. Each with a different meaning, from Jessie Pope the women who encouraged young men to risk their lives for their country and honor to Owen Wilfred who’s words reached out to the soldiers who went through the traumatizing pain. From the propaganda making men feel like cowards if they don’t step up, the truth about what life is like in the trenches to the PTSD vietnam soldiers had to live with for the rest of their life.…

    Since our first attempt at writing an essay in elementary to middle school, we are told the main components to writing an essay is the ‘beginning’, ‘middle’, and ‘end.’ All of which holds true today, but as we move from one grade to the next, the standards for a ‘good’ essay changes for the better. Rhetorical strategies, devices, and appeals also known as rhetoric, is what we learn in high school (Stotsky 10). The continuation of the expanding knowledge is what makes us alter our writing strategies, from the material taught to us in our adolescent years of elementary school and every year thereafter. It is in high school that we are taught to analyze and dissect the author, as well as the author’s work ceaselessly.…

    The first interview I listened to was a Halloween special and it was about this family who had just arrived home from an outing on Halloween and there were two armed men with halloween masks on in their garage. The two men forced the mom, Janette, and the dad, Greig, into the trunk of their car while the baby was still a carseat in the back of the vehicle. While in the trunk Janette was messing around with wires to see if she could find the trunk release handle all while hoping her child was okay. The car finally stopped and the two men took all of the family’s money and their bank cards. Before leaving they stated that if the pin number is wrong they will come back and kill Janette and Greig.…

    This podcast assignment was a fun one. I loved the fact that it got us away from what we normally would do in class. It made me think about a lot and just made an end of the semester project more bearable than a paper. The best part about this assignment is that it got us thinking about all the work that we have done in both 1300 and 1305 classes. It made us kind of reflect on all the things that both classes have covered but it also helped us solidify our knowledge on rhetorical analysis.…

    “Conversation on the Egyptian Revolution: Fieldwork in Revolutionary Times” is one article, in a series, that was written a year after the 2011 January 25 Revolution in Egypt. In this article, author Yasmin Moll reflects and explores some conflicting thoughts that went through her mind as she participated in the event as both an Egyptian woman and as an anthropologist. She realized that the January 25 Revolution was a historic event for her country. Moll and many others during the uprising “created a personal record” (para. 1) by filming the incident. As she became more involved with the filming in the Tahrir Square, she realized that this type of fieldwork was creating something more to tell than what was currently being told by the mainstream…
