Week 8 Comments and Feedback

 The feedback I am finding to be most useful is the feedback that critiques something within my writing. Questions, comments about grammar, etc., are all extremely helpful. They allow me to become a better writer. I feel like I am leaving pretty good comments. I always point out something that I like, something I have a question about, and then something I think they could improve on. I am pretty happy with my introduction post. I think it reflects that I was unsure about how to introduce myself to people who are probably only ever going to know me through a computer.

I chose this image because feedback has almost come to be seen as a bad thing. Feedback is not meant to put you down or make you feel bad about yourself, it is meant to make you think and help you to improve your craft.

Introduction to a WGS Major

Hello everyone! My major is Women’s and Gender Studies. I am aiming to graduate this summer (knock on wood). The best class I took last semester was called Contemporary Feminist Thought because it was really interesting, and it changed the way I thought about a lot of things.

And of course, I think keeping my head above water last semester is an accomplishment given all the craziness that was going on. Kudos to all of us! I am living at home with my parents and my brothers. We have three dogs. Shadow, Seph, which is short for Persephone, and Echo, who is my dog. Echo is kind of an oaf. He loves to jump onto my ribs when I am not expecting it. Given that he weighs upwards of eighty pounds, this is not exactly the most fun thing

Week 7 Story: Brer Fox and the River

He paused when he heard Brer Frog croaking about another Fox by the river. Intrigued, Brer Fox rushed toward the embankment, nearly falling when he tripped over thin air in his excitement. Brer Fox caught sight of another Fox below the surface of the river! He moved to try to pull the other Fox up, but the ripples from the water Brer Fox displaced made it hard to see the other Fox. Eventually, after trying several times to pull the other Fox up out of the river, Brer Fox settled in the sand at the bank of the river. He could wait until the other Fox decided they were ready to come out. Only, Brer Fox had underestimated the how boring waiting would be. Brer Fox determined that he would go back home, get a few of his books and some food, and then return. Maybe the smell of the food would help encourage the other Fox to come out! Brer Fox rose an
