10/15/10: How To Write Anything Pg. 386-391

             On page's 386-391 in How To Write Anything, we read about how to properly revise a paper along with how to use different strategies in order to strengthen your paper. In the reading, it was said that revisions should be made after putting you're paper aside for a few days after writing it so that you can have a fresh eye and will see many more corrections that need to be made rather than what you would have revised looking at the paper right after finishing your first rough draft. It was also made clear throughout the reading that it is important that although you are trying to follow the correct structure of a paper, not to forget to put your own style and personal flavor into the piece that will keep it creative and unique from other papers. This reading made it seem a lot easier to write a formal paper and gave you a lot of options on different things to incorporate in your paper along with different ways to revise depending on the message you are trying to get across to the reader. I think I will refer back to this reading for many of my papers and assignments to come in my English 101 class.

essay #2 project examples review.

I really enjoyed reading the project about tyler and his personal life through his song titles and cd cover. I like how he turned a booklet out of his project and was able to show pictures of his family inside of the booklet to give you an inside personal outlook on his life and the people he was talking about in it. Tyler's cover page and font choice was very attractive and really pulled the viewer in. I was very impressed with his symbolic representation of the struggles of finding yourself as youth into becoming an adult. he showed this with a child split in two between two parents holding each hand...This also symbolically represented his  parents splitting up as a child and having step parents but still being torn in the middle similar to myself From the readings, it seems that tyler seems to have a somewhat similar life story as myself so I think I will also be representing myself through my project in the same way as tyler did, with a cd booklet.
