What follows is a rhetorical précis I wrote in response to this article. In their essay “Public: Take Our Privacy Please” (2001), Declan McCullagh and Ryan Sager claim that, according to polls, a vast majority of the American public does not seem to be concerned with Internet privacy. The authors support this claim by offering data drawn from these polls, which says that while most Americans

Here is a link to this assignment (Discovery Writing #2) As a student, I am automatically a part of certain groups. I am a student in the school of communication, and in each of my classes, I am a member of a group. I work constantly with my co-workers at Panera Bread. I am also a member of my family group, and a part of my group of friends. My family and friends are clearly Gemeinschaft-type

This précis is in response to this story R. U. Sirius and St. Jude, in their essay “The Medium is the Message and the Message is Voyeurism” (1994), argue that American citizens have become obsessed with getting their “fifteen minutes of fame” by putting their lives on display and with taking part in “armchair lynching.” The teledemocratic view expressed in this piece seems to suggest that

The following is a précis I wrote in response to a story about educational video games. In his essay “Play Games, Be Better Students? (2004),” Daniel Terdiman asserts that it may be possible to use video games to improve American education. He supports this idea by providing suggestions from video game insiders and designers and evidence of the high sales of educational games in recent years.

Assignment: What is your "technological history"? What are your earliest memories of technology? Computers or video games or the vibrating bouncy-chair that cuddled you as a baby? What of Teddi Ruxpin? the Speak and Spell? or the See-and-Say? When did you use your first computer? What was it like? What did you do with it? What fears or phobias do you have regarding technology? computers? How

This is the blog that I am being forced to create for my ENGL 3810 Advanced Composition course at ECU. I will be posting almost every day about writing, personal experiences, and websites.
