    It is a random Thursday night on the first floor of Brewster Hall and the Campus of State University when a frazzled young girl wanders into the room of a fellow student inquiring about The Stranger by Albert Camus. She needs to have a three page paper completed by tomorrow and cannot find a kick start on the essay writing process. Since her peers are on the level of the common doormat concerning Camus, she was left without any further help. However, had she just typed “the stranger, camus” into Google, three of the first ten sites listed would have directed her to either free or paid essay sites.

  • Paratext

    515 Words  | 2 Pages

    What does it mean for a book to have paratext(s)? Before, I took this class I had no idea what the word even met. According to A. Leverkuhn and Andrew Jones, paratext “is any additional text or other reference material that is added to an author’s published work.” For this assignment I got the opportunity to look at the book, The Educational Blue Book and Directory Church of the Brethren and it used a variety of different forms of paratexts in the beginning of the book along with the end of the book. Personally, I believe that paratexts this book used was extremely beneficial and made the book complete, without the paratexts I think that the book would have been easily misinterpreted.

  • Plagiarism As an Art Form

    746 Words  | 2 Pages

    One aspect of the creative industry that has remained the same throughout generations is the difficulty for artists to inject their work into popular culture. Utopian Plagiarism, Hypertextuality, and Electronic Cultural Production by Critical Art Ensemble (CAE) written in 1991 argues that “The Video revolution failed for two reasons – a lack of access and an absence of desire” (99) while artists from the documentary Press. Pause. Play. point out how easy access is to creative technology. The artists from PPP point out that it is much more difficult for good work to breakthrough into popular culture because there is so much of it. Comparing the arguments by CAE with the ideas in PPP reveals that artists breaking through into popular culture has always been difficult, but it is difficult today for different reasons than it used to be. For this reason, quality plagiarism is essential in the creative industry.

  • Literary Course Reflection

    During the course of this class, I have had the opportunity to read literature from authors who come from different backgrounds and places in the world. Some of the stories and poetry we read were straight forward while others were confusing and sometimes required a second look. But one thing is clear, it changed the way I think about literature in a few ways that I wasn’t expecting. Three works in particular stand out in my mind. “ I Wont Let You Go” by Rabindranath Tagore, “To New York” by Leopold Senghor, and Pedro Peramo by Juan Rulfo all had an impact on my thinking for similar yet different reasons. They all incorporate their cultural backgrounds into their work through the setting of their pieces. They also compose their pieces in a way that makes you want to research their history to find the deeper meaning. Finally, a couple of the authors write about things they are emotionally connected to. Some of the examples we will look at, really opened my eyes to going beyond a superficial understanding of literature.

  • Reflection On Paraphrasing

    We are in our second journal entry and now adding chapter 3 to the other 2 chapters read before. After reading the chapters from the previous journal entry again, it opens doors and thoughts about other important topics that I might not have noticed when I read it before. Chapter 1 talked about writing and how writing effects our thoughts and process. Chapter 2 talked about annotation and journals and how journaling can help us as writers. In this journal, we added chapter 3 as well which talks about paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is something that not everyone knows how to do well, so I believes writing this journal and actually putting all the chapters together will give us a better understand of the topics overall and about paraphrasing.

    Human language is a fascinating enigma throughout our history. As far as my memory goes, how various forms of communication happen in our society and improve our life condition invoked my interests. Attending different schools, applying my language skills in promotion of class activities and writing journals was always a part of my duty. I discovered the strong connection between words, thoughts and emotion from there. I finally started to build a systematic understanding of the history and future of words.
