In the DK Handbook, I read about different sources that can be used when doing a research paper. The reading started off by mentioning the different types of research such as: Online, Journals, Books, Magazines, etc. It told me some interesting things about the reliable sources. It is better to search for online sources using the scholor search. This search will only allow you to find things that has been approved by people with doctor degress or someone that is educated in the subject feild in which the research will be conducted. For my research (I am not sure if it is narrowed down enough but...) I will have to find some pass/new articles about women being treated unfairly. I came upon one on Friday but I will have to locate it again. The DK Handbook also shared information about arguments that we(the researchers) make. It also gave some research topic questions to make sure that the topic chosen is a good research topic.

9/08/2009 Reflections
We have to review other peers or classmates rhetorical essay in class on the day. Before class, we were just suppose to go inside the DK handbook and pick out something to make our essay better. I learned some important things in the handbook and I used some of them into my essay. Also while searching or scheming through the DK handbook, I also found a lot of sentence structures to impress the readings of my essay. The peer review was great and I can grantee that my essay is going to be better than it was before. While working with my peer or classmate, she enlighten me to add more detail about my picture into my essay. She told me that my argument was okay but may want to a few more things to support my argument. Class was great and my rhetorical analysis is still in progress.

Chapter 10
For 9/1:
The reading: Fats Is An Advertising Issue was good. It almost seems bias but however it states some beauty of women. I talked about what women should do to keep themselves good looking. The author pointed out that some women wake up in the morning feeling their "Tummies" to see if they are good or bad. Good meaning that they are checking to see if they are still fit or at the right stomach weight. The issue went on to talk about Dove. I want to believe that this whole issue was concerning dove or the "Perfect Fit" women that help the advertisement of Dove. If I had to choose a thesis, the statement I would have used from the text would be; "The Body Image Summit included influential magazine editors, fashion designers and buyers who could have changed our narrow visual culture." May I also add that it can also be "Dove's mission was to reformulate this warped and damaging engagement with beauty and offer in its place something based not on impossibility, but on possibility?" It is kind of hard to pick out what the Thesis could be but I am on track that this issue talks about the beauty of women.
