During the reading this week I was able to really connect with some thing that the book Art and Fear said in chapters four and five. What I found interesting this week reading thou is that I finally was also able to connect with showing he Rilke said in his letter number six. We’ve been reading both of these books for some time now and it just surprises me that it took this long for me to find something I connect with in Rilke letters. Back to the book Art and Fear, I found my self really liking…
In this critical reflection I will explain the ups and downs of creating a picturebook, whilst also including specific functions needed when designing a picturebook. Overall, planning my picturebook was a very fun, creative, but frustrating job. When deciding whether I would draw or design my picturebook online, it seemed obvious that doing it online would be easier, but I was wrong. When using Book Creator, it was working great until I had to print my book. After going to Officeworks three…

writing requires writers to reflect, and the challenge of this essay made me look at my writing and dive deeper into myself to pull out what necessary to get an A, which ultimately led me to growing as a writer.

This was the most challenging part as it required us to write our first college paper, which was graded heavily like a rough draft. This was not a rough draft you submitted to just get points, and I…

(p.1084). This creates culture essentialist generalizations through which others paint those belonging from that culture with the same brush and attach the same label to them. Hence, assignment of individuals in each culture becomes a naturalized process and the labels attached, give meaning to each culture. For example, the media humanizes violent acts committed by white people, making it appear as acts of self-defence and dehumanizes acts people of color by showing that they are violent,…
While researching texts written about how can a person learn to be “grittier”. I found a few authors who publish articles and a book about how you can become being “gritty”.

Lulu learned how to be “gritty” by her mother threatening…
read analysis. They believe that every student finds different meaning in every text they read as they show when they state, “There is a growing consensus in our field that reading should be thought of as a constructive rather than as a receptive process: that “meaning” does not exist in a text but in readers and the representations they build” (167). This shows that they do not share the same ideas about reading that many K-12 institutions throughout the united states do considering…
Reflecting on my midterm progress in English 102, I realize all rhetorical modes need to be employed to have an effective final product. My confidence in my ability to develop and express a clear message to the reader has grown exponentially since English 101.

Since these assignments, I am now equipped to conduct editorial reviews my…
