Assignment 14

     Reflection has been a part of our class since day one in mi mind. We are constantly reading material and digesting it to its smallest parts and reflecting on the content. The process of digesting and reflecting can help us better understand readings because it helps you be a better critical thinker. I have gained many things by learning how to reflect in this class. When you are able to reflect you can evaluate your own writing and find purpose to it. I have gained many insights in this class for example i have learned to constantly relate my points to my main topic to keep the reader on my train of though. Also i have learned that you must treat your reader as a person that knows nothing about what your are writing about assume nothing about your readers and be as thorough and detailed (when needed) as possible. You always want to keep in mind your topic as you write. Refection can help you write better papers because they give you insight into your own mind making it easier to write.

Assignment 12

      One of my main sources will be a book by Eric Schlosser: Fast food nation the dark side of the all-american meal. He is a well respected investigated journalist. He provides a lot of insight from a neutral stand point trying only to provide facts and let the story unfold on its own. In his book he has several quotes that shed light on marketing schemes of fast food. He also exposes fast food mal practices and un ethical behaviors. Schlosser also talks about the impacts none fast food consumers suffer as a repercussion of fast food. Another book i found to use in paper is McDonald behind the arches, by john f love. This book offer insight on Mcdonalds day to day operations and how they have manage to become the largest of all fast foods. along with statistical data i will try to expose fast food as the virus that it is. It has infected the united states and threatens to infect the world.

Revision Reflection

    The feedback process was very useful to me. I learned a  handful of things that i will definitely consider in revising my paper. I learned that some of my ideas need to be directly connected to my thesis so that the reader does not feel that I'm just putting facts on my paper that do not relate to my thesis. I also need to work on clearly defining my thesis so that my reader clearly knows what I'm talking about. Also i need to add flow to my paper so that the reader stays on the tough of train i want them to follow.  My ideas in my paper can be some what trivial so it is key that i present them clearly and efficiently. 


   My main point in my paper is the tactics fast food uses to keep their customers coming back and the morality behind the tactics they use to keep us coming back. it is important we know this because even if you eat fast food you are still being affected by  them. I used references from two books i was able to find on my subject. The books explore many aspects of fast food in depth and are very reliable. I want to include more statistical sources in my paper because i feel my reader will be impacted better thought the combined use of statistical sources and scholarly ones.  when presenting a source i carefully chose what i quote so that i can directly tie back to my thesis. if the quote can be easily interpreted another way i tend to leave it out because it may take away from my point.
