Blog 9 and 10

a. What are the three most important texts/chapters you’ve read in this class
and why are they so important to you?
The first most important text or chapeters i have read in class are the citation chapters in the Bedford Handbook. These chapters taught me how to properly use citations, and how to create a proper works cited page. I did indeed learn how to cite books and more during my high school career, but never really used it in class assignments. However, in class i was able to practice citing sources, and became better at it. With every paper, i got better and better in citing sources, and it became one of the most important things i learned, as i will need to know how to cite for future use.
The second most important text or chapters i have read in class is most likely the one about gender, and how it is used in advertisments. Before this class, i would have never guessed that certain aspects of a person, or even object, will "grab" the readers eye, and cause them to think, "I want that!" After reading this, i began to use it in my writing, as i tried to "grab" the readers attention by writing a amazing true fact, and make them continue reading what i have to say.
Lastly, one of the most important chapters or text i have read in class is how to use arguments in many different ways in a paper. This can always help me with a research paper, and i could argue and disagree properly, as the book They Say I Say, the author describes how the argument should be writen and composed. This too can be a great help for future papers. In all, i enjoyed becoming a better writter during this course while using The Bedford Handbook, and They Say I Say.
