How To Read Against Grain
Wendell,

Great job with your post. You picked a great article and brought up many questions that all readers should be asking. I really liked how you read against the grain and questioned the authors definition and meaning of certain sentences. By reading against the grain you were able to look at the article from a different view then and bring up many points that I did not think about when reading the article the first time. After this assignment I will begin to read with and against the grain in all my textbook readings and scholarly articles to become a stronger reader.

    Evaluating an interpretation of literature

    The text ‘A Most Lamentable Man’ written by Christine Marlowe is an interpretation of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet which portrays arguments about Friar Laurence, indicating that he was to blame for the tragic ending to the play. Marlowe Claims "Throughout the plot, it is the actions of Friar Laurence, and he alone that are most significant in ensuring the final tragedy of the play." The statement proves that she believes the Friar to be the influence or the main reason the star crossed lovers die whereas in Shakespeare's original version he made the Friar a caring man that just wants to help the young couple and marry them in the unlikely event that the two feuding families make amends. "But come, young waverer, come, go with me, in one respect I’ll thy assistant be, for this alliance may so happy prove, to turn your households' rancor to pure love." (2.3.90) Laurence’s poorly executed plan to fake Juliet’s death was one of his main faults Marlowe indicates “Out of all Laurence’s blunders, however, his calculated plan for Juliet to take on the appearance of, ‘A thing like death …’ (4.1.76) is surely his greatest error.” although Marlowe doesn’t end there, she includes his failure to get the all-important letter delivered to Romeo and his slackness in helping prevent Romeo’s death, “Laurence did not emphasise the importance of the letter he had instructed Friar John to deliver to Romeo.”…

    The writer clearly had no idea what they were doing. The paper has no central focus. The information seems to have been randomly selected and dumped into the paper without any logic or organization. Additionally, sources were not properly cited or referenced. Overall, this is a really bad example of research-based writing.…

    Lost In America Rhetorical Analysis

    Also, you did a great work relating the quotes with the explanation you offered. You did the same in your second and third paragraph, connected your ideas with the author’s ideas, explained and exemplified using quotes from the text. Your explanation on the analysis of the rhetorical choices is well-done, however you did not connect it back to the author’s purpose. Try to explain how the chosen rhetorical choice is effective in helping the author reach his audience and purpose. Additionally, I would suggest you to explain how the author’s rhetorical strategy works; it would definitely make your analysis more complete.…

    The Media Assault On Male Body Image Summary

    Although the article is written for a magazine, it doesn’t have a specific author, which makes it less reliable. Seed magazine does an exceptional job of stating the claim, and backing it up with fitting evidence to further support the stance. The article deals with topics that affect the readers, and can shed a light to someone undergoing the same issue. By discussing familiar subject matters, the readers are engaged. I strongly believe we should broadcast the piece because these same readers will read it eagerly. I am an advocate for the publication of this article and commend the newspaper for including this piece in The…

    Stuart Green Argument As Conversation Analysis

    The ideas in the passage flowed well and all the ideas seemed connected. I applaud Stuart Green for paragraphing the ideas in a sense for the reader to know what he is saying and what to expect in the next paragraph. I thought it was interesting when he described an argument as a conversation. Before I read the passage, I did perceive an argument to be a heated conversation between two or more people and with harsh words, but the author made an argument seem to have a neutral tone. I now apprehend that a conversation can be an argument without the harsh tone. It can simply have more than one viewpoint without the harsh tone which is an argument. Also, I learned something new: the concept of framing. I didn’t know there was an exact word for the concept of framing. I thought it was always one word that just described the topic of the writing or reading piece. But, it is more than just one word or phrase that describes the topic. It can be a word that came from a passage you read that describes your own experience. I see it as an “inside joke” that is elaborated and explained throughout your writing piece. I think the idea of framing is a brilliant way to furbish your writing whether it’s an essay or even a paragraph. After learning this new concept, I will be sure to use it in my own writing. Moving on to Stuart Green’s conclusion, it was wonderfully written. I couldn’t agree more with him on the two different views of research. I believe people see research as plainly as gathering information. But, they don’t really apprehend the research they gather and use it for a purpose or they don’t see it as discovering a new possibility or even a…

    Is Thomistic Philosophy Relevant in Seminary Formation?

    It gives me hard time to react on an article written by someone whom I perceived belongs to the rule makers, standard bearers and theory setters. Having graduated from a Pontifical University run by Dominicans and with a degree afar from the course which subjects everything to critical reflection, I found myself on the verge of completely adhering. But, now after obtaining a clear purpose, to provide a clearer understanding and appreciation, I am now led to construe and not to merely concur but, to subject it with proper scrutinizing, at least to the point of providing stronger supports to the claim or to totally pose arguments that could attest its inappropriateness.…
