Week 3 Thogg

I apologize in advance for this thogg being a day late, this weekend I was in and out of the hospital due to horrible abdominal pains that follow after eating anything. This was a challenging situation in which I had to try my best to keep up with assignments, as the pain was so extreme that it was all I could do to lie in bed and try to sleep versus focus on the pain. Tests are still coming back to see what caused this to happen and why it continues to still happen. In class this week we really did our best to improve our first drafts of our WP1. As the prompt came to be a bit of a challenge to my fellow students, and myself all seemed to write to the best of our ability in order to complete the assignment in terms of analyzing the genres we picked, but it was not until we collaborated with each other that we were finally able to determine what we were able to argue about the genres. In mine I decided to pick the genre of fast food billboards, as did another classmate I saw in the journal entries. Both of us struggled to find something that we really wanted to argue about them but found them interesting in the sense that the conventions included are used to make people want the product. This problem was seen throughout all of the journal entries. Making an argument for something that also included analyzing all of the components of it turned out to be difficult, but once done the papers almost seemed to write themselves. This class is really making me think about how I write and overall has already greatly changed and or bettered my writing.
