End of the semester is always a stressful and bittersweet time of the year. For once in a long time though I can say my writing class challenged my skills through stories and preparing me for a real job. #RHUB305
@L12Gabe I feel you man. The closer and closer I get to graduating the scarier it is. It’s going to be a weird adjustment going from full time student for my whole life to working a job every week with no summer vacation #RHUB305
Getting closer to graduating really makes a student forcefully develop into a professional. I’m noticing each year I get closer and closer I can feel myself morphing into a matured worker. #RHUB305
A sub claim for my topic would have to be that the reporters themselves want to be biased to a certain extent due to their own beliefs, and all of the blame can’t be pushed onto conglomeration #RHUB305
Conglomerations are the new things with companies. Companies buy other companies and just inflate their overall reach. This makes companies more inclined to push agendas of other companies and change their content around such things. #RHUB305
@AlonzoR37624986 Hey Alonzo I’d agree those are great images. Without even reading what your topic is the pictures make it plain and clear and they’re very informative #RHUB305
https://t.co/Bl5CS7vwJO An illusory truth deals a lot with my topic as media can be swaying peoples opinions and thoughts without even using the truth. #RHUB305
For my research im choosing something that’s personal rather than related to my major. And it’s to answer the question of why people no longer have trust in the media.
So far this has been my favorite writing class I’ve ever had. It’s not the same old research/persuasive essay that’s just been increasing in page length since middle school. This class has really challenged my writing skills through creating a story and now a letter. #RHUB305
@Erica35394265 Hey Erica. I agree most of the letters seemed to be very pathos related. As someone who usually causes logic and reasoning above all else I was surprised by how effective pathos could be in some of the letters.
One of the letters to Obama I read by Patrick branigan was a very well written letter that played on your pathos extremely well. He was short and sweet about the letter but very direct in thanking Obama. He makes it very personal and makes it endearing #RHUB305
I’ve read MLK’s letter multiple times but never truly look at the structure of letter. I love the pacing at which he’s written the letter I don’t know how to describe it but the pacing makes it feel calm and collected as he details each conjecture and breaks it down #RHUB305
@MelyMelz333 It’s really crazy how much information is being passed around and no one really seems to care. Tiktok being the most recent example, where companies just have access to millions of people’s info being sent to a foreign country.
@martin72497474 Zuckerberg really seemed to be posting this as more of a PR thing rather than an actual plan of what Facebook was going to do. He addresses vague concepts with some ideas of what they want to do but doesn’t lay out any solid evidence of being able to do any of it. #RHUB305
Learning about discourse communities really put in to perspective how I should look at my writings. I often get in the mindset of my papers are being read by my teacher rather than actually writing something for an intended audience. Which is much more effective #RHUB305
