Thogg Week 4

This week in class we worked a lot more on our WP1s before submitting them on Monday. After many many hours and lots of revisions, additions, and a lot of thought I thought the paper I had written was at least in the slightest decent, but after seeing how our teacher felt about it I honestly just don't want to touch it again, good thing I'm forced to for our final projects. Ugh. I guess when looking at this paper again I will change it almost completely and focus on how the billboards are targeting a more specific audience, busy people who need quick food at a relatively non expensive price. I had thought about including where billboards are placed, why, and the audience they target by their placement and use of small bits of language, i.e. a person in a rush who doesn't have time to cook let alone read something that asks them to spend more of their hard earned money, but a classmate of mind discouraged the thought and said what I had done was good, maybe it was not the best idea to follow what someone else said as that is what I will now be changing my paper to. That is a much more interesting topic that I believe my teacher would like much more than the piece I did turn in. Oh well, as he said its a drop in the bucket and I can still get a good grade later. Now were starting to work on our WP2 and I'm not so sure what I want to write on for the PB2A. Something maybe along the lines of environmental science would be great as that is what I am most passionate about. My only problem is that so many studies fall into this subject i'm not sure what I would rather focus on. Our journals this class were meant to help us understand how writing makes someone sound and the assumptions made based off of what is written. Person number 18 and14 look as though they are science majors of some sort, but upon discussing with my classmates many were classified as this and were majors like communications. This I found very interesting as I was assumed to be a communications major and am environmental science, so the questions I picked didn't hint to who I really am. This weeks class was quite interesting and frustrating at times. It will be interesting to see how my other writing pieces go this quarter.
