Journal #9
What is the writer trying to find out more about through their research (what research question guides her work)?
Katrina wants to understand how the student represents themselves in their writings and how the school guidelines affect them. Therefore, Katrina has divided the students self representation into three different stages, reproducing dominant discourses, resisting dominant discourses, and negotiating the tension.
How does this author collect the data she needs to answer her question?
Powell collects her data by conducting three case studies with different scenarios that are all possible in the college atmosphere.
What sort of genres do you see your peers using as forms of “self-representation”?
It is a common notion that we as people surround ourselves with people we are like, or how we wish to represent ourselves. My peers use the comical Rasta genres we are like old beach bums just wanting to have a little fun and live life.

Journal #8
What is the writer trying to find out more about through their research (what research question guides his work)?
The writer is trying to find out more about the how the band originated, and how it came into its own. What makes them – them basically. Why they are unique, and how they became that way.
What sort of texts or sources does the author quote from to build his argument?
The writer uses previous songs and articles about songs that are said to be fake, or re-written, not original.
In what ways do you see others around you attempting to establish their “authenticity”?
Although others strive to be original most, of this “authenticity” is just stereotypes of a specific style, genre or lifestyle. People today have lost themselves in the hype what is first and foremost socially acceptable, they mimic the old fashions and try to put their own spin on it. But what is satirical is that this originality is brought about the media, people get their ideas from everywhere, everything that they see.

What is the writer trying to find out more about through their research (what research question guides their work)?
There are many research questions that guides their work. A couple stated in the article are: What defines revision in a professional context? What approach is taken by those who make their living revising? How is their revision process influenced?
What is the research methodology of this article (how do they collect their information, and how do they analyze the information they collect)?
The research methodology of this article was a case study where six editors were, given texts to revise and edit, then asked after each text to recall information on said, text recording the time it took for the editors to remember the text because they weren't reading for context-but they were grazing for mistakes. The case then continues with quetions of revison.
How does professional editing differ from how students revise their own work?
The editors do not read for content, but look at the structure. The views of the paper do not sway the editors decison to chug on and correcting and revising. Whereas, a student is taught to read for context, students tend to put their own opitions in other works deveating their revising ability.

Physical Money
Dear Mom and Dad,
As you know I am contemplating the decision to sell my virginity, in order to pay for my Masters Degree. I am sorry if I disappointing you in my decision to take intercourse so casually, and in fact profit from it. Growing up you instilled in me the importance of albescence. As I starting becoming my own person, taking what you have taught me and what I have learned I now believe that today people picture intercourse as purely physical.
I know my consequences, but have weighed the benefits too. This is a onetime occasion that will pay for my Masters; I will not have to work during my degree and can purely study for my future. To better myself. I am taking all the necessary precautions before going through with this decision. I love you
