Vincenzo D'Auria
Hello, my name is Vincenzo D’Auria and I am an aspiring civil engineer who plans to one day go to grad school and open my own civil engineering firm. Although my papers were written in the field of medicine and legality of drugs I really have no interest in going into either of those fields.
Through this semester the growth of my english knowledge and writing skills have completely transformed. From the basics of being able to properly format thesis’s to completely learning a new style of writing my skills have been greatly improved this semester. I feel that taking this class has opened my mind to different genres and has properly taught me the skills I need to not only distinguish different genres but to also use a specific genre to appeal to an audience. Through the configuration of the three projects I have completed this semester I feel that I have grasped the concepts needed to fully understand genre. First, the First project of the year was to distinguish genre in a form of entertainment which was pretty simple. But as I continued to work on the project it almost seemed to be getting more and more difficult as I kept on finding more genres in my artifact. I ended up shortening my artifact which I used to analyze for genre from a 5 minute long clip from an episode of the walking dead, down to three one minute pieces to better show the change in genre through one episode. I felt that this project was a great way to breakdown and analyze the different types of genre. Next, project 2 seemed to get more complicated then that of project 1. I started off with a question, whats going to happen when marijuana gets legalized? This was a very serous question I had but I stuck with it and decided to find my own answer. Because, anyone can admit it is just a matter of time before the drug is legalized on the federal level, someone should think about what the repercussions of that would be. Well after tons of research it seems to me theres little to worry about the legalization of marijuana to have a drastic negative effect in anyones life. Finally, Project three was my favorite project we have done all semester. I think that project three was the most useful project we could have done because we took all the information we have learned from the preceding weeks of the semester and applied it to a multi genre website based presentation form. |
