Why This Worked When reading over my interpretative essay the purpose I was trying to get across was to show that the Macintosh Ad stein interpreted was the mark of a new era. I did this by describing what I thought Stein did to get her purpose across, by her word choice and by the format in which she wrote her article. I picked out the words I thought were the most meaningful in describing what she wanted to get across. “Re-enchantment can be defined as a revolutionary term to describe new technologies. Valorization helps to describe the purpose that Stein wants to get across. In the article these two terms to me help explain how important this ad was to technology and how it helped evolve mass media today. (991142919)” These two words to me stuck out the most because they not only described what Stein was trying to get across but it also summed up how the ad was supposed to make you think and feel after having watched it. I tried to write the article in a way that the audience could see that the way Stein worded and laid out her article was very informative and it helped you understand what exactly she was trying to get across. While re-reading how I worded it I would have made the format easier to understand. I felt that I skipped around too much and should have made it easier to understand the purpose. Even though I may have skipped around a bit I felt that the purpose I was trying to get across was always there. I was trying to show my audience that even though this article may have been a lot to read it was never confusing because of how she explained what she doing before she wrote about and how she broke it up into sections. I hoped to show that by being able to explain that by her analayzations I was able to see exactly how this ad was the beginning of a new era. After reading my article again I should have used more quotes to explain what exactly I was trying to say so that my audience could better understand

    He starts by saying he had been complaining the whole time about the narcissism that millennials display when he himself also displays a great deal by starting his article with I. Stein continues to list of a number of things that he complained about that the millennials do that he is also guilty of including being in the final round of the reality show Real World: London in 1995 (30). Then he explains how the traits that millennials display are not new to their generation and he been around since the time of Martin Luther and the…

    Even though the writer is very firm in her stance, throughout the article, she did not use a harsh tone. Instead, she uses a passive tone to convey her message. Also, she did not force her perspective on her audience but she gave room for her readers to develop their own opinions. She uses a “third person” pronoun, removing the subjectivity of the article and used first person pronouns only when she provided personal experience. She also kept each paragraph short and simple, to prevent overloading, of information for the readers and kept the flow of the article smooth. Thus, it’s a more effective way of…

    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…

    The disease of new media has greatly shrink human minds that rub off on more and more people in this technology-accelerating world at present. Daily life nowadays has significant changed compare to ten years ago that office workers used to waiting for subway by reading a daily newspaper, housewives seating at balcony and reading a newspaper in the morning. But now, most people read news on their cellphone or television instead of newspaper. What is rubbing off on their behavior? Peter Funt who is an op-ed writer for the New York Times, writes about blablablabla on his essay “So much media, So Little News”. Neal Gabler who is a journalist and culture historian, writes about the relationship between big idea and post-idea world. On his essay “The Elusive Big Idea”, he argues that people don’t care as much about ideas as they used to be. The connection between the two authors has one of the most important reasons that new media gradually twisted the true value of newspaper that smother big ideas. Thus, in order to correct the twisted value that media are rubbing off on news, the society needs to redefine the value of news and reexamine the concept of big ideas.…

    1. This advertisement is targeted towards adults who can afford this luxury item, which is an item that isn’t necessary in order to live but it’s desirable to have. My motivator in this magazine ad is recognition. The price tag on this system is a bit hefty so it attracts those who can actually afford it, which are most likely people who have a successful career and can afford to blow off their money. The propaganda device I used is loaded words. “Innovative” appears a few times and I used it to further associate the word to a deeper/bigger meaning such as the newer age, ingenious, contemporary, etc. My persuasive device is logos because I’ve written unchanging facts. A literary device I used is an idiom, to refer that the Holo Chef system is so simple in design that it’s easy to use.…

    Throughout writing this piece, I definitely learned how to analyze text in a more in depth way. From my free write to my rough draft, I really didn’t know how to construct my claims and my support as well as using the rhetorical terms in the way. My timing for these terms also was not where it should have been. I used several terms in places that I shouldn’t of. I feel like my full understanding of these terms was not where it should have been. I think another problem I had was fully understanding what the assignment was asking at first, but the comments from my peers and my instructor actually helped me transform my paper a little more.…

    <br>Jameson (1992: 11) notes that, "If everything means something else, then so does technology." Particularly in an era where technological change is so very rapid, and where traditionally accepted notions about the position and function of the subject in a community or society have come under sustained attack, visions of dystopia and utopia ask just what technology might come to mean for us, in an age where living in diverse city communities challenges the dominance of any single meaning.…
