CONTENT: I intend to talk about… Continue reading Chloe Wegrzynowicz –DQ 10

The effect of a metaphor is not as simple as it seems but that doesn’t mean there is a right definition for it. Instead, metaphors, I believe, solely depend on how the author writes it and what they want to get across to the readers.

My target audience will be the people who are most susceptible to pinkwashing: educated liberal allies to the LGBT community. Many straight coastal elites are unable to distinguish between genuine support and pinkwashing as a smokescreen… Continue reading Journal 9 – Jackson Schneider

The word I have chosen for my final project is assimilation. I would like to write then present this in a video form in order to cater to some of my creative talents. This presentation would allow me to add images and music and allow the audience to truly feel my story. Those who would… Continue reading Reading Journal 9: Carmen Yohannes

After writing my midterm essay, I realized that I had trouble making my ideas flow. I think I struggled with making sure the ideas that I had were conveyed in the most appropriate way. The poem by Matthew Buxton “vii,” was content heavy. It included multiple discourse communities and contained many different heavy themes related… Continue reading Reading Journal 8 – Grace Li
