Blog #10

I didn't learn much more compared to my comp class over the summer. I did however refresh my memory on a lot of key information that would improve my writing. I was refreshed on transitions, TS/CD, and the proper way of citing.

All of which is extremely useful for any college student. In the future i plan on incorporating all of these tricks as best as i can, it would be stupid not to. As long as i use all of what ive learned or even half of it, my papers will be noticeably better than if i had never taken the class at all.

I don't plan on taking any more English classes after this since it is not in the same direction of my major (Advertising). I do need to write papers and marketing plans, but a majority of all the writing is a different format and wont need to be cited, it's all facts about a product or company.

Humor can be as simple as making someone happy. It usually ends up making people laugh. There is no exact definition to what humor is or isn't. It could be awkward moments in shows such as the office or funny one liners by Mitch Hedberg the comedian http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IueXtzdC6kA . Some people can even find the yelling and repetitiveness of Dane Cook funny, I'm not one of them. Also the ironic story/situation is always funny.

The first thing that comes to mind when it comes to style is writing style. I really could care less what kind of style of clothes i have on, to the point of the name of the style. When it comes to writing style there is so much more things to know so you don't mess it up. Style is essentially making something look good, if its a paper or a person, that could also fit certain specifications to be related or similar to other pieces like it.

One thing i learned about me as a writer is that I'm good at piecing things together. My role in the group was to take two papers about one topic, proofread them, and then make it into one paper. My partners did very well on their part and i was able to organize their thoughts into paragraphs and have one start off where the other one left off.
