@GBinccom I also found it interesting to see the Wikipedia script format! Wishing I paid a little more attention in COMP202 🤦‍♀️

@dupuyeglantine1 I like this mentality! It's easy to forget that switching off is always an option.

In today's age there is an expectation to always be reachable, but it's possible to set boundaries with the people in your life so you can successfully unplug #315WeekTwelve #FutureofWriting

It feels good to contribute to Wikipedia having used it so frequently! I was pleasantly surprised by the thoroughness of certain pages — some had info that was just days old. This made it a bit hard to contribute but was reassuring as a reader!

It's true that Buzzfeed didn't initially ask Rachel to make so many quizzes. But given their dependence on her, if they had done the fair thing and maintained a reciprocal relationship, they wouldn't be losing her to Netflix. #karma #315WeekSix

The article highlights how most Americans work long hours in unsatisfying jobs, under a broken political system and now pandemic. The consumer realm is a place for them to assert their agency -- any small annoyance challenges their self-understanding.

I worked in customer service for a skincare brand, so I have experienced the arbitrary punishment that Besner calls the “right” to review. At the time, my supervisor sent me this article to try and explain the cruelty we dealt with every day #315WeekSix #ccom315

The strongest how-to title is “What You Can Do to Help Hurricane Survivors Right Now “

The title is succinct, relays a sense of urgency and therefore sets a serious tone. By directly addressing the reader it generates pathos and draws them in. #315WeekFive

I agree! It's no wonder Gen Z-ers are focussed on getting their #15minutesoffame when we grew up receiving (often instant) validation from Instagram or Facebook. #315WeekFive

[Ava Jan @AvaJan8]

It was interesting to watch the “lifecycle” of each meme — some jump in popularity but then drop off just as fast. It seems as though the top memes alternated between outlandish, satirical references and real-life events #comicrelief #315WeekFive #ccom315

Excited to explore these ideas! #ccom315 #315WeekFour

I would say I'm most excited to review movies! 📽️#315WeekThree

[Victor Wang @VictorW_315]

@AvaJan8 What kind of thing (books, movies, music, etc.) would you be most excited to review? 😃 #315WeekThree

Pathos: Ouellette uses pathos by integrated a personal story to reinforce the difference between identity claims and feeling regulators. She appeals to the readers’ emotions through recounting the story of a friend who passed away from AIDS

[Ava Jan @AvaJan8]

In Jennifer Ouellette’s article “Personal Identity Is (Mostly) Performance” she effectively applies three rhetorical modes (logos, ethos and pathos) to improve her article’s effectiveness #315WeekThree #ccom315

[Ava Jan @AvaJan8]

Ethos: Following the application of logos, Ouellette improves the perceived credibility of her claim by using an outside opinion. She quotes from a social psychologist named Sam Gosling
