Group Reflection

Yes we were working together well.

Some of the ideas my partners had where different views, but that allowed me to see steins critical writing from a different perspective which helps me a lot. It allowed me to get my thinking process going.

Intro:

The into was good and straight forward there ideas of how it was broke down were the same as mine. I liked how they gave examples and it worked to give the ethos.

Control:

I was intrigued by what quotes where brought up in this one pager but after reviewing them I found them to be clear and concise. I also like how they incorporated pictures to give you a better understanding of what they believed the control of steins essay was.

Controlling purpose

Stiens used quote and writer choices to break down The 19854 Macintosh ad  to develop her readers concept of the ad and how it was developed

Was there a secondary purpose?

Yes I believe there was a secondary purpose, Steins main purpose could have been how apple concord IBM but her second purpose could have been women rights because she talks about how apple uses a woman carrying a hammer to break through IBM which in fact was all men seating In the seats.

What does the writer assume he audience knows or believes?

Stein defiantly wrote this towards an audience that is of a higher education because the factit is an academic text and the words she uses to describe some the happening in the essay are beyond everyday people. Also the way that she writes it would bore the average readers so she was expecting the reader to be interesting in the little details not overall essay.

Do the emotional appeals seem reasonable to you?

Well in some cases stian does go over board and tends to lose her readers because she goes so in-depth that she beats a subject to death as you can say. But other moments the author uses a good amount which allows the reader to connect with what stein wants to get through to the audience.

Design example

This could be an example of the design that an author uses to attract the attention of his or her readers. In the pictures they show some the biggest competitors in today’s snowboarding. They also have a picture of the red bull which could attract some more audience. The fact that the red bull emblem is in brighter colors then the rest of the paper could writers choice to attract the reader to that certain part of the paper and make them read on.

Summary of 1984 Macintosh Ad

Stein created an in depth situation of what is going on in 1984 and how humans are in a drought for new technology and then Macintosh comes along. Stein breaks it down in certain section and asks why Apple would use this for their commercial and does it relate. She also relates to real world experiences as in the communist and president Ronald Reagan.

This advertisement was innovative in many different ways it emphasizes women rights as well as apple breaking through the almighty barrier of the company IBM. Which was a task that was never been done before and people where amazed by how they took over the market being such a small company. This also made a really good story of how they evolved. The company was much underestimated which allowed them to be innovative and NEW.

Stein was broke every little part of the essay down and argued every little bit of the commercial into very critical interpretation of the text.

Throughout my writing I believe that my audience can vary greatly. I tend to be a bias person so I’m with something or I am against something. So there for my audience could be whoever agrees with the argument or situation that I am writing about. Or they could also be someone that is interested in the subject and would like to learn more about what I am writing about.

I writing my ideas with the writer that wrote the book I am writing about. I put my views against there’s and sometimes the coexist and other times they tend to clash and allows for a good argument between me and my views of the authors work.

When I make a relationship with my audience I want them to be interested and not bored to what I have to say or my thoughts and ideas. I would like them to understand what I am writing clearly. Ethical dimension of communication could be how far you take your audience and how you communicate with them. You have to communicate with them on a personal level but also be professional in away.

I am going to use this to create my interpretive essay and communicate with my audience and keep them interested but also to keep them thinking and on their toes.

 I believe that Susan Orlean composed this article to create awareness of what taxidermy actually is and to shed light to the stereo typical thoughts of taxidermy.

Orlean would have hoped her readers would feel like taxidermy is a natural art not mean and cruel like some believe, and that the taxidermist themselves would not be looked at as weird and cruel as well. You can see this in some of the quotes for example “I love deer one of the champions in the whitetail division said to me there my babies”. This quote is very controversial but I believe that Orlean was leaning towards the side the taxidermist respect for the animals.

While I was reading Life Like I felt like it was an interesting paper kind of had me puzzled in some part. I personally knew what taxidermy is and I do not find it weird at all I find normal and respectful for the animals. I think Orlean wanted me to feel like that, she wanted me to find out new stuff on taxidermy and to show different perspective on how people are only trying to respect the animals.
