Journal 2

From my PB1A I discovered that when describing the genres I mostly just wanted to talk about the conventions. In other words, I felt that it was impossible to just say what genre I was talking about without diving right into the rules of that genre. From reading another person's PB1A I found it surprising that most news articles, no matter what the topic may be, also followed almost the same conventions. I had never realized that although the articles were two completely different subjects, they still went by the same rules. Also from reading others, I discovered that there are far more genres than I could have ever imagined. For example, I would have never thought that Youtube comments can be considered as a genre. And that there are "traditional" genres that can change as time goes by but are they still considered the same because they still follow the main conventions. I have not decided on a topic for my WP1 but I am thinking about writing on the topic of the genre of realistic fiction. I am interested in writing about this but I'm curious to see just how many books almost "cross the line" to fiction.

Writing ideas W1  I am interested in writing about possibly something to do with mental heath disorders or the environment. With the mental health disorder, I could narrow down my topic to eating disorders or anxiety and the texts that I can draw my information from texts from a scientific article, Instagram posts, or even a video. I can also narrow down my topic for the environment in maybe discussing plastics in the ocean or veganism. I could also derive texts from some of the same places as mental health disorders. But going back to the disorders I am also interested in maybe going more towards the scientific side of them instead of learning how to deal with them emotionally.  Either way, I am interested to see how after reading the articles about writing will impact the way I look at these topics and the two distinct pieces of text I find on them.

Hello! My name is Daniella Trevino (nickname Dani). My older sister Nathalie was the one who actually named me, not my parents. She said she got it from one of the main characters in one of my mom's novellas she used to watch. I am from Acampo, California which is a little town where almost everyone has some sort of farm animal. An interesting detail about my family is that all of my grandparents immigrated here from Mexico. What I hope to get out of this class is a better understanding of how to write certain papers. Also, the picture that I have posted is of my cat Panini. Yes, she is overweight and yes we have tried to get her to lose some pounds.

Final Jornal: The WP that was my favorite was the first one. Being able to choose my favorite book and compare it to a different genre but still stick to the same subject was very interesting because it made me see writing and genres in a new way. The WP that was my least favorite was probably writing project 3. For WP3 it was because it challenged me creatively and although it did have a structure it was definitely more free-flowing than the others and for me, that is a little more difficult because I think I work better when the rules are a bit more rigid. My 3 takeaways from this class were how it better to kind of word vomit when writing a rough draft, genres can be used to help in the process of writing, and many people actually find it difficult to write, even famous authors. I don't think there is an aspect of the class that needs to be improved on other than maybe going over more of how to properly write an introduction and conclusion paragraphs.
